In Menoriam!

For several years an elderly
woman has visited the St. Regis
where she always made the same
requeSt-that Violinist Jules
Lande and his orchestra play
her two favOrite melodies, "Ave
Maria" and "The Big Bad Wolf"
Each Christmas week she
handed Lande a gift of $50 in
appreciation. Six months ago
she died. Tuesday afternoon a
pretty girl came into the Iridium
room and asked Lande to play
cave Maria" and "The Big Bad
Wolf" When he was through
she handed him check for $50,
informing him she was the niece
of the old woman and that she
knew her aunt would like to
have her keep up the annual Gus
tom of listening to the two melO-
dies and making the little gift.

OF course, it is temptation to
put off your struggle with curves
and calorieS, but if you postpone
your dieting for a week it will
be as hard as starting at the
beginning.
You see, a weeks indulgence in
rich. heavy foods not only breaks
down your resistance, but the
physical effects are a stretched
tummy and a growing appetite.
The more you eat, the more you
want to eat. The slightest diete-

Christmas calorieS will surely
turn your weight trend in the
direction Of avoirdupois.

Agents and Brokers Included in
Nation Wide Collection
of Data,

First Nationwide collection of facts
about the real estate business as such
is now being made. The current
Census of Business, third of its general
kind to be undertaken, for the first
time includes real estate agents and
brokers.
Fred A. Gosnell, chief statistician.
Census Of Business, points out that
this compilation, by giving a national
picture Of facts about wages and
salaries as they are actually being paid
by the many lines of business covered.
will give measure otherwise unob-
tainable of geAeral purchasing power
in relation to rents. AS to real estate,
he points out, the census, giving data
on operating expenses of a real estate
business, will afford some basis of
comparison of the costs of any indivi-
dual business with those generally pre-
vailing in region.
The current census of real estate as
a business is not an inventory of facts
about real estate itself. the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
points out, and should not be confused
with its only door-to-door collection of
such facts which has been made by

r. Voorhees, of New York, president
of the institute.
The President is urged to enlist
the aid of 1.-The technically trained
citizens of the Nation in the profess
sions of architecture and engineering
and in the fields of real estate and
finance in reporting upon ways and
means for replanning and developing
blighted areas for new uses which
will promote the public welfare and
lessen the economic and social waste
arising therefrom."
The revolving fund would be used
solely for the financing of advance
planning and for the making of spe-
ciflc recommendations for the re-
building of blighted areas. The Presi-
dent would be empowered to allocate
to blighted local areas such sums as
will pay for the necessary exploratory
and advance planning under the su
pervision of competent technicianS
and in conformity with city and COM
munity planning for the localities.
Would Be Repayable.
These appropriations, the institute
points out. should not constitute
lien against the taxing power of any
municipality, but should be repayable
In such amounts as the President
should deem equitable out of appro-
priations for work to be undertaken
whether such work be authorized out
of public funds or out of private
funds or out of a combined use of
public and private resources.
There exists in our cities large areas
of blighted properties, planned long
ago, which are unsuited to present
standards of life and which in addi-
tion hamper the proper development,
growth and adaptation of our cities
to the needs and possibilities of
today" the Institutes statement con-
tinues.
These areas are an economic, social
and moral drag upon society calling
for professional competence to ex-
anime and diagnose the many prob
lens resulting from their condition.
1t Is essential to recommend the re-
arrangement of the properties within
these areas and their readaptation to
new uses.
Problem of Replanning.
'The problem of replanning and
rebuilding each blighted area is de-
pendent upon the particular terrain,
environment and the economic and
social needs of each individual COM
munity.
THE Constitution of the United
States charges the President with the
duty of reporting to the Congress
on the condition of the country and
of making recommendations for
action. The prevalence of blighted
areas throughout the urban, rural,
and industrial areas of the United
States make them a Nation wide
problem, which should be solved by
the country's technicians and other
experts under the direction of the
President"
