PRICES GOVERNED
| |BYEXCLUS|VENESS
Factors Controlling Cost of
Real Estate Discussed
by Official.

Exclusiveness Is one OF the main
factors governing the price Of real
estate, according to w. Burke Har-
mon. president Of the Harmon Ma
tional Real Estate Corp. of New York.
The fact that . building occupies q
certain desirable city corner and that
no other building can occupy that
identical location Is most important
in establishing the value Of land, he
says.
"This simple example Of exclusive
ness" Harmon continues. "the fact
that a definite location cannot be
duplicated, applies in q greater or
less degree to all real estate. The
extent to which a piece Of property
enjoys exclusive advantages over other
properties will, other factors being
equal, determine its value.
"There are two main types Of ex-
clusiveness-natural and artificial.
Every one Is familiar with examples
Of natural exclusivenesS. A headland
on the seacoast, for example, may
command a better price than other
nearby coastal sites because nature
SO made it that it cannot be dupi-
Gated. Water front, in general, COM
mands a better price than adjoining
waterfront property, for the
simple reason that the amount Of
waterfront land Is limited. Hillsites
with attractive views in residential
communities have an exclusiveness
that adds to their value. The busiest
corner in shopping district, on a
corner lot with frontage on two
streets, as compared with the in
side locations in the same block Is a
common instance in which the ele-
ment Of exclusiveness appears.
In this latter example the ex-
clusiveness Is mixed, partly natural
because Of its location. partly arti-
fetal because Of elements introduced
by mankind.
Many Influences.
'Exclusiveness depends upon many
more influences than commonly i'm
agined. It may. for instance, depend
upon the historical background Of a
certain section. Many OF the old
New England towns are examples Of
this. Chatham, an old revolutionary
town in New Jersey. and certain sec
tions Of Long Island afford instances
familiar to almost every one. Attrac-
tive surroundings, equally good COM
muting, desirable neighbors and other
considerations being equal, properties
In Chatham, Westbury, Massapequa
and similar sections consistently bring
q better price than equally desirable

Modernizing Furniture.

A little carpentry. some good wood
filler, and . coat Of paint are all
that's necessary to modernize many
old pieces of furniture. Today the
dignity Of simple lines prevails, SO
elaborate supports, ugly casters ard
glueQ-on pieces Of gingerbread cary
ing can be pried OF TO advantage.
Scrolly and unpleasing hardware on
dressers and chests should be replaced
by simple fixtures or knobs. When

Light Walls for Dark Rooms.

The first step IN planning the color
scheme for an entire home Is to con-
Ider the relation Of one room with
another, taking into consideration
such things as exposure and thu
amount Of natural daylight that each
room will receive. A good rule to fol.
low is that room which receives very
little sunlight should be decorated
with light, warm colors and rooms
which receive plenty of sunlight should
be decorated with cooler ones-some-
times with darker tones.

proximity to transit lines and other
physical advantages. They may be only
. few miles apart, yet we find one Of
the properties is sold for $4,000, the
other has q maximum value Of about
$12 900. What Is the reason for this?
Very often nothing more than the So
cial prestige Of the people who live in
the neighborhood surrounding the first
property. In other words, neighbors
have given to this piece Of property
an exclusiveness value.
What are some of the elements
OF control that go to make up natural
exclusiveness? Town and village zoning
ordinances are important although
only too frequently these are subject
to political control and hence are not
always the protection they should be.
Restrictions and covenants imposed
upon an area OF land are most import
ant. BY means OF intelligent restric.
tions architectural control may be
exercised. Plot sizes may be kept ade-
quate. Stores which inevitably depre-
ciate residential properties may be
kept out Of sight. Control may be had
over the selection Of neighbors SO that
undesirable types may be kept out.
BY means Of these and other re.
strictions a unity may be given to an
entire residential district.
Advantage Of New Home.
"The home owner will frequently
find more projections by buying or
building in a new, growing, expand
ing neighborhood than in an older
one. He will find more protection In
development if the development has
been intelligently planned and Is
sponsored by real estate organization
with a background Of development
work. The reason for this is simple.
The developer must make his mer-
chandise as attractive as possible In
order to find buyers. Therefore, he
literally combs the available areas for
the site that possesses the greatest
possible number Of elements Of natur-
al exclusiveness. To these he adds the
comfortable elements of artificial ex-
clusiveness in the shape Of wise plan
ming and intelligent restricting. The
result is a far mole harmonious whole
than will be found in the more hap
hazard development of communities
without centralized control"

IRWIN AGREES
TO ISSUE CALL
FOR MEETING
Acts on Request of Gates
Faction; Ignores Eighth
District Poll.

Don B. Irwin, state chairman,
indicated today that at the request
of the Gates faction of the
party he would call meeting of the
Republican State Committee.
Mr.. Irwin said he would take this
action although he did not recognize
the Eighth District election yester-
day of Gene Scan1ahorn, Rockport,
and Mrs. Thomas Groves, Perry
County, as chairman and vice chair
man.
1t is the contention of the Gates
faction that the vote of the Eighth
District chairman and vice chair
man would result in the upseating
Of Mr. Irwin. Mr.. Irwin had taken
the position that he was the oniv
person authorized to call district
convention.
A state committee call which
would bar the two Eighth District
leaders from voting would not result
in unseating Mr.. Irwin, the Gates
faction declared.
With the Eighth District delegates
barred from the state committee
meeting, Mr.. Irwin broke tie vote
by casting the deciding ballot for
himself. The Gates faction claims
that if the Eighth District had been
represented Mr.. Gates would have
been chosen.
Efforts to compromise and restore
party harmony before the state con-
vention may be sought by leaders of
both sides. Some believe the COM
promise will result in Mr.. Irwin re-
tanning his craftsmanship.

 They came to the igloo of old Wassili, a sod igloo, moss grown, cracked. and bleak. Lean poverty stalked there. But peo- ples' hearts were in this home, too. Wassii came to them, feeb- le wife and many children with him, and welcomed them. They had no food for themselves; they took the sod from their roof, thaWed it by the flame of their last seal oil and fed the travel CTS abundant moss.
 Then Donner and Blitzen knew they could take Christmas spirit across the world forever. They offered themselves to these poor people. Let cur coats keep you warm, they said.

 There were only 26,251 rein deer in 1910, about 100000 esti- mated to be here in 1921; but now there must be more than 55O,000.

 Last spring they wandered all ong the coast, from Ugashik to Barter Island; of course you know they can run no faster than other reindeer, except at Christmas time.

In many ways to later adolescence and,
in some respects. to the end of life.
1t Is the function of social education.
the report stresses, to help resolve this
conflict in a way that will make the
individual cooperative member of So
ciety. There is wide leeway possible,
it is pointed out.
"A somewhat general question" says
the report, "is whether the child by ma
ture is inevitably predisposed to some
one OF the alternative types of social
behavior. For instance, we may ask
whether the child is by nature an indi-
Viduallst, or whether he is actually or
potentially a collectivist. Similarly, we
may ask whether he is by nature a mill
tarist or pacifist. Perhaps the precise
question is whether the child, if left to
himself, will become one or the other
OF these types of person, or whether
what ne becomes can be controlled in
large degree by education.
mo specific, organized form of social
behavior would be regarded by the ma

Thus the assertion of individual rights
in particular situation, or cooperative
action toward given end. is largely the
product OF learning. Again, whether one
favors war between nations and takes
part in bringing it on, or prefers and
strives for peace, Is not determined by
instinct. There is no such thing as an
instinct for these organized forms of
activity.
"This is not to say that such activities
are not rooted in natural desires and
impulses. The individual is not putty
in the hands of mechanical external
forces. But it is equally true that indi-
vidualistic and collectivistic behavior goes
back to some native dispositions. Edu-
catfve influences cannot guide the devel-
cpment Of behavior If they do not recog-
nize and use these dispositions.
But the native impulses are various
in kind and are capable of expression
in various ways. They do not, therefore,
determine the specific form which must
be taken in social behavior. This varies
from age to age and from people to peo-
pie. 1t is largely subject to the control
of educational forces, both formal and
informal"
Modern psychology" the report con-
tinueS, has shown that feelings impulses
and conduct frequently originate in expe-
riences that are not recognized, and that
the individual is sometimes the last per-
son to know why he acts as he does.
But to Jump from this positive fact to
the negative conclusion that conduct is
not influenced in any important degree
by ideas, conceptions or insightS is to
commit a most egregious fallacy. Fur
ther, it is to ignore the positive influence
that ideas do influence conduct.
"ThiS does not mean that a given idea
will automatically express itself in con-
duct that conduct is not affected by
impulses and desires, or that the verbal
expression of an idea is a real factor
in conduct unless it represents genuine
idea. The evidence that verbal express
sions do not necessarily correspond to
action is al indication that we must
not place tos much reliance on verbal

Double morality" probably is universe
in human beings.
1t arises out of universal experience
Of childhood-that of living in relation
ship to two worlds which never are COM
pletely fused.
This is one Of the premises stressed
ment of superintendent of the National
Education Association dealing with the
curriculum of social studies in the Ameri-
can public schools.
1t is fact, the report points out, which
must be taken into account in any valid
system Of education intended for the
socialiZation Of the child and adolescent.
From the first, it is stressed, the boy
or girl looks upon social relationships
from a narrow and predominantly ego
centric point of view. Only gradually
does he attain even a relatively objective
or disintereSted view of the relations of
persons to each other. Says the report:
''The child is q child over against the
world of adults. He is dependent and
his attitude is one of joint submission
and demand for the satisfaction of wants.
He readily recognizes authority and sub
mits to correction. His notions of JUS
tice and punishment are external and
mechanical
But he is also a member of a society
within a society, the society of childhood.
Within this realm he develops a system
Of rights, privileges and responsibilities
running parallel to, but more or less
distinct from, that of adult society. These
two social realms must ultimately become
amalgamated or fused, though this proc
ess is never quite complete. The failure
Of these realms to completely join Is
perhaps the cause of the double morality,
which is probably universal"
The differences between the thought
patterns of adult life and childhood have
been brought out. the report explains,
by relatively recent psychological studies,
especially those of the Swiss psychologist,
Piaget. These show that the child's ideas
are characterized very strongly by real
ism, animism and artificialism." BY real
ism is meant the failure to distinguish
between objective reality and thought
AnimiSm means the tendency to ascribe
to all objects, animate and inanimate.
feeling, intention and thought. Thus the
child kicks the offending toy in temper
tantrum, Just as If 1t were living thing.
Probably nobody ever quite outgrows this
attitude. BY artificialism is meant the
idea that all growth and development
Is the product of manufacture or artffice
analogous to making objects.
Getting rid of these misconceptions
common to children and primitive peo-
ples-iS q slow and cumulative process.
The development of the child's language.
the report points out, is reflection OF
the growth Of his perceptions and his
ideas His drawings similarly indicate
the maturing of his recognition of the
world about him. His understanding and
number and his recognition of time both
advance from the simplest and most
rudimentary perceptions to highly COM
plex and abstract systems of ideas. The
development in all thes4respects is most
obvious during childhdel. but continues

New Philatelic Era.

There was time, not so many decades
ago, when stamp collecting generally
was considered merely fad" or at best
"just hobby" But that period is over.
With the Third International Philatelic
Exhibition opening in New York today,
1t becomes apparent that new era is
dawning. Henceforward, what was once
schoolboy's pastime will have to be
taken at least as seriously as numis-
matics. Philately has grown up, attained
o maturity which merits recognition.
Such development was inevitable,
probably. Visitors to Paris may behold
in the Champs Elysees the very spot
upon which the event is reported to have
occurred. Philosophic gentlemen of
advanced years haunt the place. Stand

Presidents palace. they gladly explain

stamp bourse was established at a date

veteran can remember it. But our
