high hopes Of ANAL passage
wv before Congress adjourns
OF the bill to license and
regulate real estate brokers and sales
men, now that it has been reported
favorably by the Senate District Com
mittee. The Washington Real Estate
Board has been trying for more than
10 years to get q license bill enacted
for the city.
As the House already has passed
the bill, final action from the Senate
is all that is needed to send 1t to
the President. There is no serious
objection apparent to the legislation
in the Upper House, but the greatest
danger to it is that it will be lost
is the last-minute rush before ad-
journment. This has happened many
times in the past, though the bill
has better backing than ever this
year.
That regulation is badly needed to
clean up the real estate business and
protect the public from fraudulent
schemes Of crooked "fly-by might
operators is the chief argument OF
the bills proponets. This statement
Is confirmed by Joseph w. Marshall,
who listens to the public's COM
plants as director OF the Washington
Better Business Bureau.
The bill sets up q commission OF
three members to license brokers
and salesmen, with authority to re-
woke licenses following proof at public
hearing OF fraudulent or other con-
duct prejudicial to the public interest.
A brokers' license would cost $50,
q salesman's $40.
In addition to Marshall, those who
spoke on the hill for the license law
included Roger j. Whiteford, counsel
for the Real Estate Board; Charles
j. Rush, board executive secretary,
and H. Clifford Bangs, prominent
realtor.
HARRY G. ATKINSON of Chicago,

Avoid Dark Roofs.

On houses that are too wide and TOO
low, the use OF dark colored roofs
should be avoided. BY emphasizing
vertical lines such rs shutters, with
dark-toned paint, it is possible to add
to the illusion OF height.
