FORUM
IN SESSION HERE

ton on Real Estate
Discussed.

Plans for pooling information on
real estate values and trends through
out the United States were under dis
cussion today at the National APP
praisal Forum, which convened here
yesterday with some 700 appraisers,
analysts. mortgage lenders and engi-
neers from Federal and private agen-
cies in attendance
Mordecai Ezekiel, economic adviser
to the Secretary of Agriculture, and
Walter S. Schmidt past president of
the National Association of Real Estate
Boards, were to address the meeting
today Both were to discuss the need
and Uses of appraisal data as it per-
tainS to stabilization of real estate
values and control of realty develop
ment.
Yesterday the Forum heard Secre-
tary of Commerce Roper, who cited
statistics on needed housing and urged
that a long-range scale of production
be worked out to balance consumer
ability.
H. o, Walther of Chicago, past pres
ident of the Society of Residential
Appraisers, suggested that appraisers
should obtain more sociological data in
communities where they are estimat-
ing the value of properties.
Human elements. such as the prob
able length of residence of typical
families, play an important part in
the evaluation, he said.
Other speakers were: Harry Grant
Atkinson, director of activities, Amer
lcan Institute of Real Estate Ap-
praisers; DR.. Ernest M. Fisher, direc-
tor of the division of economics and
statistics, Federal Housing Admins

city had grown from a dream to fact,
with four centers of such instruction
in operation.
Bylaws Also Preserved.

which was cemented into the corner
stone were copies Of the constitution
and by laws Of the Boys Club Of
Washington and of the minutes of the

the national standard Of living.
REASONABLY short hours, wages
commensurate with the value OF the
services and with the American stand

1T is in the increase OF the stand

tenance OF living wage that the
true future development of labor's
income lies"
I'VE need not only to fix minimum
wages for those who are in the lowest
income groups and most subject to
exploitation, but we have to think
continuously of the improvement of
other wages up to the American stand

There must be cooperation be-

Of honorable and competent bargain

and responsibility
Meeting newspaper reporters before

THAT poverty is Enemy No.
OF health is Miss Linda Woods
conviction after IS years ex-
L perience as supervisor Of the
clinic of the Columbia Hospital for
Women.
Resigning from the staff of the
Instructive Visiting Nurse Society
after one month Of service because
she was so depressed by the ravages
of poverty which she saw in every
home she visited, Miss Woods took
charge of the Columbia clinic in 1921.
In her new Job she again found that
poverty was the arch enemy of medi-
cal science. With public education
making more and more people aware
Of the importance of getting early
treatment, lack of funds forces the
hospitals and clinics to curb their
services.
Today, doctors in the public clinics
have an average of only three min
utes to spend with each patient, and
even in the Columbia clinic doctors
have time to spend an average of only
seven minutes with each person.
We would like to urge all our
patients to come back regularly for
check-ups after the births of their
babies" said Miss Woods, because we
have found that such check-ups often
prevent slight physical disorders from
becoming serious. But how can we
urge more people to come to us when
We have scarcely time to care for all
who do Gomez"
When Miss Woods first came to the
clinic, only 2,183 cases were treated
in year. Last year 14,117 cases were
treated.
How closely physical and economic
well-being are linked together is
shown In the charts which the clinic
keeps on each patient. At first, many

OF the doctors objected to having Miss
Woods information about the pa
tents finances and living conditions
appear along with his medical his
tory. These facts had to be written
in pencil so they could be rubbed out
quickly If a doctor objected to them
Now this social history is one of the
first things the doctor looks for be-
cause he finds that more often than
not it holds the clue to unsatisfac-
tory health progress.
Miss Woods is an ardent advocate
of the principle that "the mothers
place is in the home" for she has
seen in case after case the many
troubles that appear when women
leave their small babies and go out
to work. Left to the ministrations
of an older child or q friendly neigh
Dor, these babies do not get the care
they need, and they frequently are
brought back to the clinic in a serious
condition. In fairness to the mothers
Miss Woods explains that in most
cases they have to work, as the fathers
are either unemployed or earn too
little to support the family. She be-
lieves that in the long run, however,
the cost of mothers working is greater
than the gain.
A graduate of the nurses training
course of Columbia Hospital and a
student of social welfare problems
Miss Woods is always willing to have
new Improvements introduced in her
clinic. Here was the first clinic in
this section Of the country to give
post natal care to mothers. Educa-
ton OF mothers by means OF movies on
prenatal care, care of children and
other health problems also has been
developed in this clinic.
Most Of the patients treated at the
clinic are unable to pay for their care.
The cost is met by the Community
Chest at the rate of so cents a clinic

UNION WILL PUSH
LABOR ACT TEST
Supreme Court May Handle
First Emp|oye Challenge
to Wagner Measure.

The Commercial Telegraphers Union,
an American Federation of Labor
affiliate, shortly will ask the Supreme
Court to decide whether employees are
entitled to different treatment than
employers before the National Labor
Relations Board and the courts.
The question arose out of decision
late yesterday by the United States
Court of Appeals here. Counsel for
the union Immediately announced he
would apply for certiorari. Should
the Supreme Court consider the case,
it will be the first before that tribunal
by union challenging the powers of
the Labor Board. In all other Labor
Board cases which have gone up to
the highest court employers have been
complainants.
Denying a petition by the union,
the Court of Appeals yesterday re-
fused to enjoin the Labor Board from
making effective an order issued Oc-
tober %.
Order Issued by Board.

order stating that having considered
