Mental Attitude Good
At Maryland Despite
Its Two Beutings

Maryland was to taper of this
afternoon for tomorrow's home
coming fray with Virginia at Col
lege Park and if the Terps' mental
attitude is any indication of what
the Cavaliers can expect, it'll be
busy afternoon for the latter.
The Old Liners are in the groove
mentally, with nothing to lose and
big stakes to win. They're going out
to pitch, punt and pack the leather
with everything they've got, and
hang the consequences Unable to
win q game in two starts they figure
they may as well have some fun at
Virginia's expense even if they take
1t on the chin again.
Terps Apt to Use Shockey.
One change appears certain in the
backfield-Don Shockey, line blast
ing halfback, for Bernie Ulman, who
has been laid low by a throat all
ment Shockey doesn't have Ul-
mans poise and polish, but he hits
the line an almighty lick and may
help loosen the Cavaliers forward
wall. There also Is chance Berry
may start for Milt Lumsden at full
back, but it is remote with Shockey
in there because Coach Jack Faber
would hesitate to start two rockies
against Virginias battling earial at
tack.
The Old Dominion crew will rely
on Mosby Cardozo, l78-pound quar-
terback, and Bill Dudley, fleet
runner and passer, who calls his
shots. Cardozo was shaken up con-
siderably In Virginia's 1914 triumph
over Yale last week, but is ready
for part-time duty If needed. Mary
land also will get look at Bryant,
McLaugherty and Neustedter, all
1rst-class backs.
Squad Needs Tonic.
If by any chance the Terps should
upset Virginia, or even hold it to
a respectable score, it will change
dull campaign to a brighter hue
| and give the boys a new lease on
life. With Florida, Georgetown,
v. M. I. and Rutgers among the
teams coming up the squad needs
hypo to help over the rest of the
route and a good game with Vir-
ginia would be what the doctor
ordered.

Really Appraising
Complicated Task,
Says RufusLusk
Many Factors Enter
Into Property Value
Besides Actual Worth

There is more to the value Of
house than just the bricks and
mortar, and an appraiser, in addi-
ton to knowing the technique of
determining the value of a piece of
property, must also be familiar with
many ether general factors which
are important in determining
dwellings, value, Rufus S. Lusk, real
estate authority, told members of
Washington Chapter, Society of
Residential Appraisers, at their
meeting this week.
The appraiser must be well ac-
quainted with the zoning of the
neignborhood, he continued. One
type of zoning may protect one piece
of property but harm another. He
should know plans for streets, parks,
sewerage, water etc, in new areas,
as we'll as traffic conditions and the
location, of schools and churches,
Mr.. Lusk added:
But even more important than
these, he should know the character
of the population, whether it is white
or colored, the income of the people
who live in the immediate neighbor-
hood. He needs a knowledge of the
general real estate trends not only
in his own city, but in the particular
neighborhood in which is located
the property he is appraising. If
there are signs of overbuilding, such
overbuilding will affect the value
of practically every house in given
territory. If there is a shortage of
homes that likewise affects the value,
since all residential properties are
more or less in competition with all
others.
Partly because appraisers have
not always taken general trends into
consideration there have been costly
mistakes made, particularly in the
1920s. No honest appraiser who
knew the general trend of events in
the middle 20s would ever have
placed the values that were placed
on some buildings during that period.

Air-Conditioned Shops
Report Added Sales

Air conditioning in commercial es-
Establishments not only tends to in
crease business profits through added
patronage, but also effects consider
able savings through the reduction
of employe illnesses, it is pointed out
by Fred A. Hessick, president of a
Washington air conditioning equip
ment firm.
A recent national survey of work.
ing conditions in Office buildings and
commercial establishments showed
that air conditioning reduced time
lost due to illness by an average OF
% per cent, comparing periods before
and after the equipment was in
stalled, Mr.. Hessick said.

has made installations report in.

quality paint and allow each coat
time to dry completely before the
next is applied. There is no remedy
for extreme cases of alligatoring ex-
cept to have a skilled painter burn
off the impaired coating and repaint.

Why Paint 'AIIiqutors'

If a painted surface shows signs
of "alligatoring" or checking, it is
probably due to one of two reasons:
Either the undercoat was covered
before it was quite dry or it was
mixed with too much oil or an in
ferior grade of oil. To prevent such
an occurrence, use only the best

It was obvious that building was
outstripping demands. Overbuilding
resulted in vacancies, foreclosures
and huge losses to owners, builders
and investors and general f1attening
of values"

with whole-hearted, unstinted sup
port for those who today are fighting
our battle along with their own.
During discussion of the repeal of
the arms embargo eight months ago,
when Germany was armed to the
teeth extensively and defensively and
the Allies had nothing to attack with,
Colonel Lindbergh said that he, for
one, was in favor of supplying Euro
pean nations with all the defensive
weapons that we could spare. Today,
when it has become clear that Eng
land and France are fighting purely
defensive battle with their very ex-
istence at stake, he would withhold
any assiStance-defensive or other
wise-from them.
If he expects his counsel on mat
ters concerning which he has so little
understanding to be followed, he
should be willing at least to explain
this utterly illogical change of heart.

Italian ConsuIs

Increasing reports of alleged eff

try to organize Italians and Ameri-
cans of Italian descent in support of
Fascist policies demand the fullest
investigation by appropriate Govern
ment agencies. Mere rumors of
irregular activities should not lead to
premature condemnation of all Ital-

AS Secretary of State Hull said Sat-
urday, the facts as developed by
Government investigation will show
whether or not the reports are true.

Martin Arnold Roberts

News of the sudden death of Mar
tin Arnold Roberts has come as a
shock to hundreds of public officials.
scholars and others who have had
reason to appreciate his endeavors
as chief assistant librarian of the
Library of Congress.
Mr.. Roberts, it must be conceded
was not universally famous, vet it
may be wondered if any other serv-
ant OF the common good in his gen.
Grafton ever more truly deserved the
gratitude of the entire national
community. The great intelligence.
understanding and sympathy with
which he was endowed were dedi-
Gated to the development of what is
now the most important biblio-
graphic establishment in the world.
He lived for the Library from 1903
onward. Those with whom he was
intimately associated speak of him
as "a man of unremitting and self
sacrificing industry" but the words
are inadequate. 1t is necessary to
explain that "his workdays were Or
dinariy eighteen hours long; neither
Sundays nor holidays nor the usual
vacations were permitted to interrupt
his labors. His was a career of de-
voted service which he pursued with
an indomitable spirit that never sur
rendered to fatigue or even took ac-
count of the limits of physical en-
durance." His home was in Balti-
more, and it was characteristic of
him that he commuted daily to
Washington during no fewer than
thirty-seven years.
Himself scholar of distinction, an
alumnus of Johns Hopkins, Harvard
and Columbia Universities, Mr.. Rob-
erts cultivated talent for the giving
OF exactly that sort of help which
research workers require. His au-
thoritative knowledge of books he
freely pledged to all who sought his
aid. A certain generous enthusiasm
stimulated his efforts without dis
turbing his native modesty and sim
plicity. Kindliness was his out
standing quality, humane cooper
ative faculty his most notable ca
pacity. Nothing else pleased him so
much as the privilege of contribut-
ing to the completion of a task which
he considered worthy of the effort.
He was builder, adding himself and
all of his genius to the expansion of
the Library and the advancement of
its patrons. His memory assuredly
will be treasured by all who care
about cultural progress in this earth.
AS it was declared Of Wren at st.
Paul's, his monument will be found
in the shrine of learning to which
he gave his heart.
