(3y Inc ASSOCIATED EFoSS.)
Two mighty flying "ships that pass

between North America and Europe
today.
The Pan-American Clipper III
landed at Foynes, Ireland, after a L.

The British Imperial Anyways fly

Neither passengers nor mail was
carried.
The pioneering crafts passed each
other in the thinning darkness over
the North Atlantic. The Caledonia
landed at Botwood at sos a. M, east

Clipper alighted majestically on the
river Shannon at Foynes at 1850 a. M,

A brisk tail wind speeded the Am

A large crowd headed by President
Eamon de Valaero of the Irish Free

Gray termed the flight pleasant
enjoyable trip" He added the worst
part of the flight came when the
plane encountered rain clouds upon
approaching Ireland.
The 19-ton, four-engined Caledonia
completed her hop head of schedule,
in charge of Captain A. M. Wilcox
and a crew of four. He had estimat-

Honolulu, July 6 (AP)-Ves-
sells from three nations pursued
the widening mid-Pacific search
today for Amelia Earhart after
a meteor was mistaken for
flares from her missing plane.
ADD 10 LEAD
The long searching coast guard cut
ter Itascha, which encountered the
lights that proved to be meteors, ad-
vised Washington at 1854 eastern
standard time that no new informa-
ton was available on the missing first
lady of the air.
Another radio amateur at Oakland,
Calf. reported he picked up mes
sage from the aviatrix at 935 a. M,
eastern standard time, despite author
tiles agreeing she could not broadcast
had her plane alighted on the water,
and further that the approximate pos
ition indicated already had been
searched unsuccessfully by the cutter
Itascha.
The amateur, Charles Miguel, said
the message read:
1.-TWO eighty one north Rowland.
Cannot hold out much longer. Drift
ing Southwest. We above water.
Motor sinking in water. Very wet"
Coast guard officials at San Fran
cisco and George Palmer Putnam,
husband of Miss Earhart, began an
investigation of Miguers report which
was apparently not heard by other
stations.
Japanese and British vessels were
to aid American ships in the widening
search spurred after hope was buoyed
by the report of the flares.
Honolulu, July (AP)-Hopes for
the rescue of Amelia Earhart, sky
rocketed today, then suddenly fizzled
out when the coast guard cutter
Itasca reported it apparently had mis-
taken a meteor for flares from the
roundthe-world fliers plane.
Despite the severe disappointment
the search continued, with prospect
it's center probably would shift from
a point 281 miles north of Rowland
island to the Phoenix islands, and

the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards as definitely profess
sional body, have qualified not only
as to competency, but also as to their
known standing for professional in
tegrity. Mr.. Ostendorf points out
that the man who is entitled to sign
his appraisals M. A. l. (Member Ap-
praisal Institute) is bound by rules
OF professional ethics, the very first
one Of which forbids him ''to accept
an engagement to appraise a property
II his employment or fee is contingent
upon his reporting predetermined or
specified amount of value, or is other
wise contingent upon any finding to
be reported" Penalty is expulsion
from the institute. The code of ethics
OF the association embodies this pro-
vision also for all realtors.
Disinterested appraisals constitute a
highly important condition for future
real estate stability, the journal of
the institute comments.

AUGUST BUILDING
RECORD IS BROKEN
|NDWE[L|NGUN|TS
Construction Begun in Month
to Supply Housing for
4,500 Persons.
NEARBY AREAS KEEP
PACE WITH D. C.. GROWTH
Montgomery and Arlington Coun-
ties Get More Than Half of New
Apartment Accommodations.

Residential construction in the
Washington metropolitan area reached
an all-time high in August, according
to figures compiled by Rufus S. Lusk
and published in the September issue
OF Washington Business Review. He
stated that in the next few months
1900 dwelling units, largely in apart
ments, will be placed on the market.
During August construction was
started in the Capital area on 1,O76
apartment units, thus establishing a
record. The nearest approach to this
figure, Mr.. Lusk states, was in March,
1926, when work began on 8O6 apart
ment units. In addition, 385 single
family homes were started during
the month, and these, plus the apart
ments, will provide housing for some
$500 persons, or approximately the
normal growth of the city in six or
seven months.
Nearby Area Grows.
A large percentage of this new con-
struction is taking place in nearby
Virginia and Maryland. Mr.. Lusk
points out that during the last two
years the counties Immediately over
the District limits have become in
creasingly important factors in apart
ment building In August, of the
1,076 apartment units that were started
$40 are in the counties. The average
unit permit value of these apartments
Is $2,053, with the value outside run
ming about 5000 ahead of the District.
Lusk declares that the volume Of
construction in the last three years
has more than taken care of the alb
normal population increase since the
advent Of the New Deal. So, he
concludes, tenants for the new build
ings must be drawn from the older
structures. Continuation of the pres
ent pace of apartment construction
could easily bring serious over
building in the Washington area, he
warns.
$4,000, 900 in Montgomery.
Scene Of the greatest amount of
building this year outside the District
Is Montgomery County, Md, where
the valuation of construction is in
excess Of 5000 900. A large propor-
tion Of this valuation was for one
family dwellings, with apartment con-
struction totaling slightly more than
81 900, 900. Arlington County ranks
second among the suburban sections
in new building with total valuation
OF $3,377, ,745, including 657 one-family
dwellings and several large apart
ments. Prince Georges County, Md,
is third, far behind Arlington, and
Alexandria fourth.
The total valuation of residential
construction this year in the nearby
counties is considerable greater than
the figure for the District. The city's
valuation is $8,273 ,408, Lusk stated.

HIGH APPRAISAL
PRESSURE NOTED
Head of Realty Group Sees
Recurrence of 1920
Dangers.

"Once again appraisers are under
pressure to certify unwarrantedly high
estimates OF real estate value" E. L.
Ostendorf, Cleveland, president Of the
American Institute of Real Estate Ap-
praisrs, N. A. R. E. B., points out in q
message to appraisers published in the
current issue of the quarterly journal
of the institute. "Such pressure, in
many instances, comes from lending
institutions who are competing for
mortgages" President Ostendorf says.
Zone might think that the bitter
consequences of overfinancing during
the middle '20s had taught that
security is not created by instructed
appraisals. 1t seems that there are
many who did not learn this lesson.
SOundness Questioned.
"The accumulation of enormous
quantities of idle funds in the treas
uries Of financial institutions whose
prosperity is jeopardized unless such
funds are promptly invested does Gre
ate serious problems. They are less
serious, however, than the problems
that inevitably arise as the result of
unsound investments, which, on occa-
sion, may be attributed to improper
appraisals"
The real estate appraiser, as such,
is not concerned with the lending
policies and practices of the financial
institutions for whom he makes value
estimates. He is concerned, however,
With the reliability of the certificate
OF value which he signs. His certifi-
cate is worth nothing unless any one
and every one, is fully justified in
having implicit confidence in its in
tegrity.
Ethics Bind Members.
