NEGRO SENT TO
 REFORM SCHOOL
Wallace. Prince Guilty of DispOsing of Stolen
 Automobile Tires

After witnesses had picked Wal lace Prince, 2l, a very dark negro boy, from two other lads of soJne- what striking resemblance, as the chap who sold some tires which proved to have been stolen, Judge Edwin c. Dtckenson in superior criminal court today sentenced Prince to the state retormatory.
 The case was held over until to- day because Prince, yesterday, with out knowledge of his counsel, Wi.- Nam W. Gager, changed his pre- pared plea from not guilty to guilty, explaining to the court that he fig ured he would get off with a less severe sentence by his change of plea. Judge Dickenson did not concur in this and asked the wit rlesses be brought to the session this morning.
 Several witnesses, among them William M. Harris, executive Secre- tary of Lincoln House, the parole officer to whom Prince had reported somewhat casually during proba- tionary periods, identified Prince as the chap referred to in testimony concerning his character and acts The surprise witnesses" from Princes home locality, Abbott ave- nue, failed to shake the identifica- = tion made by the tire shop owner who bought the two tires which the prosecutor, Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, charged were stolen.
 For 8 time it was g question of "IS that the man?" and Prince, in the prisoners box, was kept busy rising to be identified. After suf- ficient evidence was presented to assure the court that Prince was outstanding in memory of witnesses in the case, the recommendation of a reformatory sentence was followed.

HIGH TAXATION,
 INTEREST RATES
Two of Barriers Blocking Home Ownership Is
 Speakers Claim

Hartfort, Conn, Sept. 22-(Up)- High taxation and interest rates and short periods of amortization were declared today by Paul E Stark, Madison, Wis, president of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, to be the three great barriers blocking home ownership and retarding normal activity in the building industry.
 Stark addressed the opening seS- sion of the tWo-day New England regional convention.
 Real estate," he said, enjoys but 20 per cent of the national income and pays 60 per cent of the national tax burden. It seems futile for the federal government to spend bils lions of dollars to encourage h0vis. ing while municipalities the country over Sttfle new construction with arl unfair and unjust tax burden"
 Compared With Others
 Comparing and 2 per cent in- tereSt charges in this country with the much lower assessments in England, Germany, Norway and Sweden, he said i've believe that the mortgage securities can be so rebuilt as to attract vast amounts of capital at lower interest rates"
 He proposed extension of amorti- zation periods to 30 years and a reduction of one per cent in in- terest charges so that five million more American families would be lifted into the class that could own their own homes"
 Serious housing problems, he said, attend insecurity of shelter to any large group of our citizens" ]"
 Foreclosure Epidemic
 Tn 1883 an epidemic of forecloS- ures swept across the country. One million Americans were compelled to appeal to the government ln order to save their home. One million loans totaling $3,093, ,000, 900 were made to save those homes. There must be something wrong with a system that permits such a tragedy.
 Vice.preSident of the New Eng land chapter, John 0. Riley, Boston, warned that due to restricted iln- AAA61 1@V1Oh o41O ucCc11LI6IIEAtlOI1 O1 cities attributable to the automo- bile, i've may have to come to be on a plateau of realty values quite different from the pre-war values, and one that will have no bearing on former prices, present assess nents or existing mortgages"
 Cause of Disappointment
 T claim that 1t was not the com. modity real estate and the mort- gages thereon that disappointed in- vestors and caused so much losses; It was the fact that so many people were handling real estate and mort- gages that had not enough business and real estate experience, knowl- edge of life and its raniflcations. "
 The keynote address was given by John M. Hutchinson, Waterbury, viCe-president of the New England association. He outlined the func- tio0s of real estate boards and their national association.

CHARLES DRAGON
 GETS JAIL TERM.
Sentence to Be PrObated When Warren Ave. Lad
 Is Held Long Enough

Plea that Charles Dragon, IS, of Warren avenue, was led to the scene of his admitted theft by boy fifteen years old, a former elnploye of the store, failed to deter Judge Edwin c. Dickenson in superior criminal court today from imposing g jail sentence of two months. However, ;he sen- tence will be probated when the court feels the prisoner has been held long enough to it the punish ment.
 Dragon, his attorney, J. c. Gull foile told the court, has 8 job pro- cured for him by his brother and it was offered that the way was made easy for the defendant to enter the Fulton Market branch on Woodtick road by the juvenile companion who pointed the way to the money cache. About $6 and 30 cartons of cigarets were stolen from the market June 10.
 The court took a different slant on the matter, Judge Dickenson re- marking that 1t seemed to him the older boy had pointed the way to crime for the younger, now on pro- bation after conviction in city court.

please suggest the wording for
the invitation? 3D."
To invite your guests to such an
informal, early-morning wedding,
you might go to see or telephone
the relatives and close friends, but
notes of invitation, written by you,
the hostess, would be in far better
taste, would give dignity and gra.
ciousneSs to the invitation and
therefore to the occasion.
And printed invitations would
be entirely out-of-order, and indeed
thoroughly unnecessary. Don't you
agree that it would be pleaSanter
for these out-of-town relatives to
receive a note Of invitation from
you?
Your note of invitation would
read something like this:
Dear Mary:
Dorothy and Jim are to be
married on Tuesday, the tenth OF
March, in the Church, at nine
o'clock in the morning. We want
you and Jack with us, at the cere

HE STOPS COMING
En.AEnz.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
eve met about two years ago.
took a great interest in each other
and went steady Then, all OF
a sudden, he stopped coming. He
always acted as though he thought
a lot of me and told my friends
how much he admired me, so it's
hard to understand why he doesn't
come any more. Why do men act
like that? BLUE
There are apt to be several rea-
sons why a young man stops COM
ing to see a girl to whom he has
been attentive. He may have dis
covered someone he likes better.
He may have found he is drifting
into an engagement, and feel that
he can't afford to marry. His sal
ary may not be large enough to
pay a girl those little attentions
she thinks are due her. He may
be taking up a course OF study
and find the girl too much Of a
distraction. His family may have
had a streak of hard luck, SO that
a good deal of his pay envelope is
demanded at home.
But when a man deliberately
stops coming to see a girl, and she
has done nothing to offend him,
it's more dignified to accept the
decision that the friendship has
come to an end than to try to
keep on with it. The best anti
dote is that most ancient of RENE
dies: Try and take an interest in
someone else,
