BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.


THERE are few sights more beau-
tiful in the world than may
be seen AMONG the colonies Of
- sea fans. Not only their own
rare coloring, but the brilliant little
fish that dart In and among the wavy
fans.
Glass-bottomed boats have been
instrumental in introducing to many
the wonders to be found on the reefs.
In Florida the sea fans grow in great
abundance, because there are so many
visitors to the State, thousands Of
people have lately become aware Of
the marvellous growths, their colors
and forms to be viewed with leisure
through the clear glass bottoms of
the boats built especially for the pur-
pose Of revealing the mysteries Of
the coral reefs and the mud flats.
The sea fans reach several feet in
height and width. They are in reality
colonies with central, horny, flex-
ible and many-branched axis. They
are covered with q layer of united
polyps, queer tiny animals or animal
plants with vegetable form. They
contain spicules of lime, which form
a firm, crustlike layer.
They are very low order of ami
mails and Shakespeare describes them
perfectly in his reference to old age:
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste,
sans everything" United, however,
thew are hna yitifiII
The sea fans belong to the Order
Gorgonacea, to which the sea whips
and sea feathers also belong. They
are compound, treelike Alcyonaria,
having horny skeleton which ex-
hibits branched axis and is covered
with layer of massed polyps, with
spicules Of lime distributed through
them. Thus the millions Of little
animals, closely packed, form a bark
like coating.
The sea-fan colony has many, many
branches. Scientifically speaking, the
branches separate by fission, in a
single plane, the large and the small
branches creating a network OF fan
like and fan-shaped form of exquisite
beauty and intricate design.

F. H. A. BUILDS FIRM
VALUATION SERVICE

Appraisals and valuations made by
Federal Housing Administration rep
resentatives differ from those in use
by many lending institutions in that
they involve the carefully co-ordinated
work OF several men. each well trained
in the particular field in which he
operates, according to Housing Adj
ministrator Stewart Mcdonald.
Continued training of the admins
tration technical personnel is necessary
in order that appraisals in one section
OF the country shall conform closely
to those in other parts. These high
standards of appraisal have made in
sured mortgages readily salable in the
open market, with s102, 900 900 in such
transactions involving $50 purchasing
institutions in every part Of the coun-
try having been negotiated up to June
80 this year.
With most lending institutions I'M
able to afford the expenses of large
stats of expert appraisers and valu-
ators, many now depend upon the I'M
biased and unprecedented report of the
Housing Administration in such mat
tiers, Administrator Mcdonald reports.

REALTY YIELD HIGH
Return From Issues in Eastern
Cities Set Record.

Despite the reorganizations con-

and the fact that q great many real
estate issues are now on an interest
paying basis. the average price Of 200
issues Of properties in New York, Buff
falo, Boston. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
and other Eastern cities is back to the
level Of April and May, 1885. Ac-
cording to the current Amott- Baker
realty bond price averages, this de-
cline brings the market to a point
where yields on these issues are at an
all-time high.
A drop Of ~ per cent in the aver

Of 1887 to 1854 per cent. Pittsburgh

~ for those IN the real estate
" and home building businesses
Two meetings of great in!
terest to the industry locally will
be held. The first, the conference
on home building sponsored by the
United States Chamber of Commerce
will take place Wednesday and Thurs
day in the headquarters building OF
the trade group. Then, the National
Appraisal Forum will be conducted
at the Mayfower Hotel on Friday
and Saturday.
Prominent business men from all
sections of the country, and high Off
Gals of Government housing agencies,
will be attracted to the chambers
conference. Nathan Straus, admins
traitor of the new United States Hous-
ing Authority, is scheduled to make
an address Also included on the
list of speakers are Stewart Nc
Donald, Federal Housing Administra-
tor, and John H. Fahey, chairman
of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board. At the dinner meeting, which
will end the conference Thursday
Henry I. Hartman of Boston, former
president of the national chamber
will talk
The purpose of the Chambers con-
terence is to find ways of accelerating
the home building industry, as most
experts believe decided increase in
construction would be a great stirnu-
liant to business generally. Home
building has Jagged behind other
fields in the recovery movement, and
IN recent months has lost a lot OF
the ground it had made up in 1896
and the early part of this year.
Real estate men, builders, bankers,
insurance men and all concerned either
directly or indirectly with home build
ing, will take part in the conference.
The Federal Housing Administration
Will arrange for those attending the
conference to visit the large-scale
housing projects in the Capital area,
which were erected with the aid of
mutual mortgage insurance.
Secretary of Commerce Daniel C.
Roper will welcome delegates to the
National Appraisal Forum on Friday.
The keynote address will be delivered
by Frederick M. Babcock, director
OF the F. H. AS underwriting division.
Other speakers will be Horace Rus
sell of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board; Adelaide R. HaSse of w. P. A..
DR.. Ernest M. Fisher of F. H. A.,
Walter S. Schmidt OF Cincinnati
former president of the National As
ISOLATION of Real Estate Boards, and

You will find, because the lime OF

Where the sea fans are found in
large numbers on the sands, they have
been collected and made into lamp

by the electric bulb filters through
