Real Estate Topic
For Appraisal Men

Sessions OF the National Ap.
praisal Forum continue today at
the Mayflower Hotel in an At
tempt to cover completely the real
estate situation now facing the
nation.
More than TOO representatives
from various sections Of the coun-
try and the Federal Government
have gathered to promote better
understanding of the task Of ap-
praising American real estate.
At the opening session yester.
day it was decided to work to-
ward setting up a Storshouse of
information on valuations, trends
and other statistics from which
the appraisers may draw in carry.

Says Boake Carter

The recession is simple to understand, he says.
Prosperity came back and the monopolists boosted
prices, grabbed unreasonable profits and left the
public holding the bag!
Maverick neatly skipped any reference to in
creased costs of manufacture. He skipped men
tion of the way the Administration said to
Labor: "The sky's the limit boys! Shoot the
works." and stood on the sidelines while labor
leaders ran wild and expected to reverse the
whole economic structure of the Nation over
night, without harming industry at all. Instead
of giving business time to make its adjustments
to fit the new system, labor dumped the higher
wage and shorter hour demands all in one lump
on the American industrial system, and now the
Mavericks howl.
Ignorant of Business
The trouble with the Maverick type of Con-
gressmen is that they've never operated a bust
in their lives, haven't the least idea what an
intricate web of factors forms the fabric of con
struction of any article and sometimes don't
even want to know. They become hypped, in
stead. on what they think could be done in their
fanaticism for reform
Maverick seems to ignore the inescapable fact
that upon capital, in competitive system, the
jobs and wages of us all-except Congressman,
of course-depend. Nothing is to be gained by
screaming once more, Smash Big Business, the
dirty crooks" If you do smash it, where's your
job? Will Maverick give you one?
No one-no single decent sincere American
objects to adjustment of the inequalities of our
economy to fit the times of today. But more
and more Americans do bitterly object to the
Administration trying to make that adjustment
IN the tWlnkling of an eye and for refusing to
listen to both sides of the story.
What Maverick snarled for is nothing more
nor less than Government dictatorship of Amer
icas industrial system. If that's what he wants,
why doesn't he say so instead of resorting to
unadulterated rabble rousing of the most reck-
less kind at the worst stage of the game A
cowardly performance, at best.

mlttee, there is historical association.
The characters of the gentlemen and ladies of
the young nation and the skill of the artists who
did their Hkenesses are there for the modern
American to see. It's an exhibition that will make
the most skeptical heart glow patriotically.
Although the portraits are entirely loan ex.

collections its heroes and heroines are old

Dolly in BrOcade and Lace

certain light in her bright eyes that tells why
she was the toast and the despair of her genera

She knows about life does Dolly Madison.
Most OF the signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Constitution and some of their
deserving wives show their nobest public faces
in the exhibition. Not all of the early celebrities
are recognized at single glance. Much Of the
work is uneven in quality. There was no school

Concerning the recent increase
in street car fares, Mr.. Roberts
said:
The immediate effect of this
increase in fares is not confined
to the added monetary cost to
those who still ride, but includes
severe repercXssions as a result
of the loss Of public tranSpor-
tation service to those. who, by

My Say

Before going on to less important sub
jects, l would like to call everyone's at
tention to the fact that the unemployment
census ends tonight. Please, if you know
any unemployed person who has not filled
out one of the census cards, urge him and
help him to get it in the mails tonight.
The facts the Government is seeking in
this census are so urgently needed TO help
those who need help most that all of us
should cooperate. E. W. Mel.

Will Make the Heart GLow
The hundred and eighty portraits already hung
in the four rooms of the Corcoran Art Gallery
exhibit to be officially opened to the public on
November 81, are not mere canvas daubed with
paint. They are a part of the flesh and the blood
and the despair and hopes of the founding of the
United States. Likewise, they are the affection
and pride of the descendants of the founders.

POLICE SEIZE z
IN PARKING ROW
With FARMERS
Western Market Clash
Now Goes to Court

A long-standing controversy be.
tween farmers and stallmen Of
Western Market, at Twenty-first
and K Streets Northwest, and
their next-door neighbors, the po-
lice Of No. 3 Precinct, flared into
the open this morning with the
arrest of two market men on
charges Of failing to park prop
erly.
Charles w. Gorham, SO, of r.
F. D. No. 5, Alexandria, Va, and
Charles H. Jones, 81, colored, Of
Anacostia, D. c., we're charged by
No. 3 police with parking their
trucks diagonally on K Street in
violation Of recent order provid-
ing for parallel parking. They
each posted 50 collateral.
SAY POLICE "SORE"
No. 3 police charge that diagonal
parking, which has been in effect
at the market for so years, slows
traffic at that point. Market men,
however, say there's more to it
than that. They claim that the
police are sore because they are
no longer allowed to park their
cars on the lot in rear of the mar.
ket. Police counter that the mar
ket men are using all the parking
space and keeping customers away
from the market.
Following the arrest of the two
men, Leo F. Brooks, Western mar
ketmaster. protested to George M.
Roberts, District Superintendent
of Weights and Measures.
Roberts termed the arrests "a
ruthless way to treat these peo-
ple." He said he thought they
should be allowed to continue di.
agonal parking at least until after
they had disposed of the Thanks
giving and Christmas produce,
when an equitable parking ar.
rangement might be worked out.
LETTER OF PROTEST
Gorham, one of the men ar.
rested, was one of those sending
letters of protests to Roberts
against the new parking rule. He
received the following reply:
II have your letter of yester.
day in regard to the parallel
parking signs which have been
put up by the police in front of
Western Market. The signs in
questions were placed there
without my having been con.
suited. I am today making a re-
port on the subject to Commits
Sioner Melvin C. Hazen. am
recommending that the signs be
taken down. I hope that my
recommendations will be ap-
proved by the commissioners"
Roberts said an old law per.
mitted market men a 15-foot space
into the streets and that, as far as
he knew, it was still on the books.

her most endearing quality is the sweetness and

Elizabeth Arden is another pioneer and great
leader in the field of making modern women love

she breaches to others. She is beautiful, dainty
and has one of the most attractive speaking voices

can stand on her head with the greatest of ease.
Every time enter the beautiful Arden salon

Neglect Problem of Relaxation
have often wished that every girl who works
for living could have an hour off each day to
enjoy the soothing rest such places are capable
of giving. 1t seems such pity that the people in
this world who really need and deserve rest and
relaxation never seem able to get it, We would all
be better off, am sure, if men like the poor pa

voted half as much of their time to this problem
of rest and relaxation as they have given to the
development of killing speed-up systems.

All boys whose parents car afford the financial assistance nec- essary are eligible.
