property to maximum local taxes

es," Mr.. Ostendorf commented.
There has never been time that
I can recall when public policies af-
fecting real estate have been so
fluid, when changes in conditions
affecting real estate have come so
rapidly" President Ostendorf said.
For that reason 1t is today more
important than ever before that real
estate owners and real estate boards
unite in q clear-cut expression of
what Is needed for healthy condi-
tons Of real estate use and real es-
tate investment, as a guide for gov
ernmental action, so that 1t may be
wise and helpful. Today interest rates
on mortgages are established In
Washington through action of gov
eminent. Minimum standards OF
housing, of construction, and of SUD-
dividing are being established in
Washington. Washington holds the
key to many Of our real estate tax
problems, because Federal tax
action can influence local tax ac-
ton. Washington determines the
standards by which property is val
ued and these standards are find.
ing acceptance throughout the ma
ton. Washington is participating in
the rebuilding Of our cities. Whether
we say that this should or should
not be so, 1t IS true that the things
which happen in Washington can
make or break the situation for real
estate business activity in every city
IN the country. AS the factors affect
ing real estate become increasingly
national in scope. 1t becomes more
than ever important that we have
an active national exchange Of
thought In the business Of real es-
tate and national fact-finding as to
real estate conditions and trends"
Urges Free Development
President Ostendorf asked that
local real estate boards of the AS
sociation's membership act courag-
eously to cooperate with other ele-
mentS of the construction industry
and with governmental agencies to
eliminate practices in the industry
which have grown up that hamper
the home builder in the free Use of
materials and methods as these are
improved or developed. I'm many
parts of the country" he said 1.-THE
costs of home building have been
unnecessarily increased by unecono-
mic and In some cases collusive
practices in the building industry.
We do not object to fair profits in
the supply of materials or to giving
the building workman fair wage.
But we do object to regulations es-
tablished by private bodies which
dictate to the home builder exactly
what he may and may not do. The
public must be convinced of the
fairness and integrity Of the con-
struction industry If the new home
buyers, who are the spearheads of
an active real estate market, are to
keep coming along"

We viii build 100000 new family

real estate activity are good. We
have every reason to view the next

FLA Change Needed
Reviewing public issues which
have an important bearing ON the
situation of the real estate owners
and On coming real estate activity,
Mr.. Ostendorf emphasized the
need of change in the FILA plan to
give opportunities in financing to
the buyer of d house that Is no long
er new on par with those open to
the buyer of house. He asked
for local action to persuade the
United States Housing Authority to
use its great power and resources
for the demolition Of obsolete build
ings In regions which should be
cleared Of slums, and for land as
sembly, which would prepare the
way for large-scale reconditioning
and for new building. leaving to
private initiative the actual rebuild
ing Of the areas, under proper plan
ing and under whatever controls are
found needed in the public interest.
He commended the action Of Con-
gress In authorizing a census of
dwellings as part Of the 1910 general
census, and urged that 1t be made
continuous index, checked every six
months or every year, as TO % &C.
cupancy, (O rents and 90 the tax

He asked for strong support Of the
Associations simple practical pro-
gram for giving real estate more

he said.
Income Tax Offset Proposed
a proposal has been advanced by
students Of the real estate tax sit

thurize an offset or an allowance in
Federal income taxes for local real

The Federal government might well

his play if c. H. Hazlewood had not
adopted that pretty and practicable
tactic.
Aurora Floyd" or "The Dark
Deed Done in the Wood" is a
notable contribution to the healthy
livers of melodrama fans chiefly be-
cause of the number and variety of
its villains, including one dark,
nasty, frustrated woman. They
come from everywhere, one from
the grave, one from patrician
home wrecked by pops lust for
gambling, one from the field of dog
stealing and another from an
eugenic misstep that begot a kind
of hairy ape. The entire assort-
ment, virtually enough to stock a
whole season of melodrama instead
of mere fortnight, is bent upon
exposing the secret in the life of
frail, naughty Aurora Floyd. What
the girl goes through is terrific in
the best sense of what terrific meant
to a playwright operating in 1863.
1t makes for one of the Roadsides
better shows in 1899
Helping to make it so is some
skilled mining by several of the
company's better performers. Run
ming neck and neck for acting
honors are Harold Stepler, as the
supposed crackbrain who really is
a foul and crafty fellow, and Natalie
Core as tall, dark meany of a
servant who betrays her mistress,
the heroine, at every turn. Milton
Freedman, a specialist in playing
dirty dogs, is another who gives
good account of himself in the uni
form of evil
On virtues team, the palm goes
to Betty Gray as the pale, tarnished
heroine, girl whose meetings with
boys never left her anywhere but
in a jam. The one exception, played
by Richard Kreuzburg, was her
husband, good, good young squire
if not of the stuff of heroes. The
others were adequate or (aside to

Kiss the Boys Goodbye" is a wow
of comedy, as you do not need to

Lou is wow of Cindy Lou, though
you might not know that unless you
saw her or somebody told you
Miss Lull has all the necessary
qualifications for portraying Miss
Boothe's impolite Cnow who's the
master of understatementD carica-
ture of Southern lass cast for the
film version of that great novel of
the South, Kiss the Boys Goodbye"
and she uses them all to the best
advantage. She has a drawl as
thick as the syrup dripping from
candied yams. She is wisp of a
blond, capable of turning on ingen-
uous bewilderment or patriotic
fervor for the aristocracy of the
South, sub, with a mere flick of big,
innocent eyes. Miss Cindy Lou Lull
is mighty fine
She has enlivened the rest of the
Olney cast, too, and they pitch in
with vim to support Kiss the
Boys Goodbye" in the manner to
which it is accustomed. Lex Lind
say does bang-up job as the edi-
tor in whose Long Island living
room most of the mayhem occurs.
William Bishop comes through nobly
as the film producer who would find
Velvet O'Toole to live on the
screen as the spirit of the South
Richard Midgely is pat as the polo
playing playboy who's mixed up in
it all; Freddie Sherman is a prop

much gusto and the rest are at least
