Two tiny villages in New South
Wales, Richmond and Windsor, have
suddenly become an important center
in which the demands of traffic are
being handled in the most modern
manner, even to the installation of
luminous traffic signals. The change
has been caused by the settlement
there of the Australian Royal Air

declared to be the best equipped air

Thomas j. Fisher Co. the Commits
sioners obtained about the best man
available to represent the business
Mr.. Doyle, president of the Washing

will serve with Aubrey ST Clair Ward
we'll, lawyer. the other civilian men,
ber, and Fred D. Allen, District asses
sor who is made eX-officio chairman
of the commission by the terms of the
license act, signed last week by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The appointment of John A. Petty
as secretary to the new agency also
was we'll received in real estate circles.
Petty is considered unusually well
qualified, as for 10 years he was sec
retary of the Real Estate Board More
recently he has served as a valuator
with F. H. A.
The board, to be known as the Dis
trict Real Estate Commission, will
begin functioning promptly, as the act
prescribeS that no Washington real
estate broker or salesman may con-
tinue in business after 80 days follow
ing signing of the act unless he OBJ
talns license from the commission.
WardWell is not as we'll known by
real estate men as the other ap-

BATH ROOM FIXTURES
SHOW AGE OF HOUSE
Drop in Sales Value Often Traced
to Passe Styles Which Date
Construction.

No part of the interior Of house
dates it so definitely as the bath room,
says the Plumbing and Heating In
dustrieS Bureau.
In the style and design of the
plumbing fixtures, in decorations and
accessories. in the arrangement of
the room, its size and location in the
house, yes. even in its lighting, bath
room styles have changed tremen-
dously in recent years, the bureau
points out.
An old-fashioned bath room gives
the entire house such an out -of-date
tone that its sales value is materially
decreased, to say nothing of the in
convenience and drabness of out
moded plumbing fixtures.
For these reasons a home owner
will find it to his advantage to mod
ernie the bath room, particularly
today, when plumbing fixtures are
still selling for 10 per cent less than
the base price of 1926 and are below
the average for the last II years.

23 per cent, Office buildings. 0.5 per

PAINT TIN ROOFS

A tin roof should be painted i'm
mediately upon installation and at
least every two years thereafter A
new galvanized sheet-metal roof
should not be painted for at least six
months after installation. This con-
ditioning will free the surface acids
which otherwise will loosen the paint
When peeling roof is to be paint
ed, all loose paint should be removed
by thoroughly cleaning with steel
wool, sandpaper or a wire brush and
then washing with benzine or tur-
pentine and wiped dry. Red-lead
paint is generally used. It should be
applied in thin coats, allowing at
least week for drying between coats

7HERE will be no concerted effort
to raise rents because of the
increased property tax, is the
assurance given the public by
large Capital real estate operators
Many real estate men. especially
those who have large management
businesses, became indignant this week
by reports to the effect that survey
of the Minimum Wage Board indi-
Gated city-wide increase in rentals
to take up the tax boost. Investiga-
ton revealed the conclusion was drawn
from a few scattered returns to the
board.
Inquiry at several ,of the leading
rental Offices brought fiat denial Of
any general trend toward higher rents
for either Office or residential prop
erty. Needless to say, there are al
most certain to be few instances
where property owners will feel they
from their holdings. Such cases will
be far in the minority, according to
the operators.
The truth is that rentals, at least
on residential units, leveled off here
about year ago, and there has been
no appreciable change since. If there
were heavy demand for rental prop
critics the public naturally could look
for boosts with expiration of leases
especially in view of the fact the tax
increase will cost owners heavily. But
Washington builders got the jump on
the rest of the country and large
portion of the depression-born build
ing slack was taken up early in the
recovery period.
Morton j. Luchs, acting president
of the Washington Real Estate Board,
was the first large operator to deny
there would be general rent in
crease.

Seals Easily Slain.

THE annual harvesting of the seal
crop on the Pribiloff Islands is a
simple matter. The bachelors, as the
male seals too young to have estab-
lished harems are termed, come on the
land in a segregated group. They
make no effort to escape when the
workers arrive to kill them. The
3year-olds are chosen for their furs
and blow on the head accomplishes
their deaths.
The skull of the seal is very thin
and one sharp blow does the trick.
Only few more than $4,000 skins
are taken annually and of these
Canada receives Is per cent and Japan

 Washington, June 9-(UP)-As if some evil lure, too potent. for mortal man to withstand, were dragging humans to death in it's murky waters. Chesapeake bay today en- gulfed-or did it?--a third mystery victim in as many weeks. Talk about your ghost stories! Your detective tales! Nothing like this series ot weird disappearances in the back woods country southeast of Wash- ington has occurred in 8 genera ton. Two men, one woman, . ap- parently have plunged to watery graves from old-fashioned steam CTS at almost the identical spot in the midst of the oyster fishing grounds, where the Potomac flows yellow into the bay.
 First there was the case of Charles F. Keene, the man in the brown beret, who vanished from the night boat, District of Columbia. Two weeks later his body was discovered in the bay, with bullet in the head Tied to the neck was a suitcase filled with such curiosa as three can-openers, an automobile jack, g woman's purse and a silver tea strainer. Three days later, Mrs Harriet Larkin Scott, pretty young Portsmouth. Va, matron, was riding southward from the capital aboard the District of Columbia's sister ship, Northland. With part. ci friends she was admiring moonl!gn'
