LIVES MOST SIMPLY
OF ALL GREAT RULERS

Of all the worlds great rulers,
Stain leads the simplest private
life. Usually he dresses in an UNI
adorned military-type tunic with
brooches and high boots. He dis
likes dainty food, and usually
eats sparingly of substantial
Georgian dishes, sometimes nib
bling at an unsalted Caucasian
roll while working at his desk. He
frequently spends from 10 to 20
hours a day at his desk going
through reports and. comforting
with associates.
The "man of steel has few in
Inmates, and those are usually
longtime friends such as kaga-
novirch, the former saddler whose
sister he married, and Minister of
War Voroshilov. Aside from read
ing, Stains relaxationS are prin-
cipally smoking his pipe and lis
tening to his player piano. Occa-
sionally when old friends are in
vited to his country home, he
takes a few sips of Georgian
wine. But normally he drinks lit
tie.
Much of his reading is confined
to discussions of the theories OF
Marxism and Leninism, and books
concerning industry, agricuiture'
and other subjects connected WITH
his official position. He has no
time for novels or light literature;
Although Stain once indlcateo

speeches, press, and resolution,

Within minute an automobile
loaded with detectives drew up

Stains country home is close
ly guarded by an especially cho-
sen band of men reputedly from
the Caucasus and Georgia, whose
language Stain still speaks. 9th
ers are distributed day and night
in the nearby woods and open
fields. His movements are always
kept secret. Even members of the
inner circle never know until he
actually appears whether Stain
will attend social functions and
meetings.
Nothing ever appears in the
Soviet press concerning his per-
sonal life or that of his wife ana
three children. According to Boil
shevik ideas, that does not con-
stitute news. Recently one of my
Moscow friends. taking lessons
from a Russian tennis instructor,
gave a lift in his car to youth
who was going into town from
the courts. He chatted casually
with the boy, but learned only af-

CITY LIFE CHANGE
Revolution in Social and
Economic Trends Re-

Special Dispatch to The Star,

NEW YORK. N. Y, May 15.-A
revolution Of social and economic
trends is rapidly changing the form Of
Americas urban civilization, according
to James c. Downs, jr., Of Chicago,
editor IN chief Of the journal Of Real
Estate Management.
Addressing the Central Atlantic
regional convention Of the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards here
today, Downs said:
Social trends are even more i'm
portant to real estate than economic
trends because, after all, real estate
value and fluctuation Of real estate use
are based on manifestations of the
current Life and on movements Of
population.
In the change going on in the pat
tern OF our urban civilization, these
matters are Of the greatest importance
to real estate use and to the real
estate value:
Il. Decreased rate OF population
growth. Prior to 1900 most typical
American cities doubled their popula-
ton about every 10 years. Since that
time the rate Of growth has steadily
declined.

by Real Estate Manage

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, N. Y. May 15.-The
Institute OF Real Estate Management
Of the National Association of Real
Estate Boards this year will carry
on a Nationwide study of the re-
lations existing between maintenance
expense of buildings and the income
they yield from rents.
Such a study, Harry A. Taylor of
East Orange, N. j., president OF the
institute, today told the associations

will provide a truer picture of the
facts than ever before available and
will furnish more definite conclusion,
which will enable property managers
to gauge their work
Without a full knowledge of the
details of management" Taylor said,
IAN appraiser can hardly estimate a
true valuation for an income prop
erty, for knowledge Of costs of main
tenance and operation, as we'll as

necessary. Guesswork and approxi-
nation really have no place in ap-
praisal practice, and unless scientific
management is practiced for the
building being appraised and further

operation can be only supposition.
There exists no satisfactory body Of
authentic and accurate figures by
which the appraiser may judge oper-
ating costs, except as he may be a
devotee OF the science Of management,
or unless the management or the
Real Estate Foundation develop ac
curate facts. For that reason we

Taylor exhibited some striking fig
ures giving In parallel way the
history of number of individual
income properties, showing how near

respond in percentages, and what
percentage the tax load Of each prop
erty bears to the income
In four buildings cited, mainte-
nance and operating percentage Of
rental charged ranged from 32O4 per

centages ranged from l5.47 per cent

Low interest rates and long amor

promising such possibility Ten

of approximately $4,000 to a house
on Conduit Road, near Sycamore
Island. The house was two-story

The occupants, Mr.. and Mrs. A. L.
