throughout the Nation will be in

the new institute. Thereafter all
persons desiring admission will be
required to take formal examina-
ton as to their knowledge and
ability in home building techniques.
Fees Start at SIS.
In order to correlate the Home
Builders Institute with the existing
structure of 466 local real estate
boards, members of the institute will
individually be affiliated in some
way with local real estate boards in
all cases. Dues in the institute range

from $25 to 500 per year, based on
the number of homes built each
year, with a minimum fee of SIS for
those who in the previous year have
built 10 homes or less.
Another meeting of the institute
will be held during the spring, at
which added activities will be de-
termined.
The home builders have in COM
mon with all of those engaged in
real estate activities tremendous
problems in local taxation, mort
gage financing and city planning.
The lack of a national institution
through which they could take ac-
ton on these matters has long been
a handicap to the home builders.

 Act Brings Fame

$ Commentator from the gov ernorS of 34 states and on three occasions from the White House has come to Isaac Siegel as a result of a transformation act in barbering that made him famous a number of years ago in Kelso, Washington. Siegel is now em ployed n Kodiak at Christy's bakery.
 SiegePs renown came when he hit upon the idea of taking pie lures of a man picked up on the streets before and after he rehabili+ated him. He says he frequently helped out by doing such deeds, and had never thought anything of it.
 The Kelso papers picked up the story, and later the Portland

trate Director Carson ,Kanin's
notion that the movies ought to
make more frequent use of the
trick effects which are available
to just this one medium of en-
tertainment.
For instance, most of the film
is a fantasy-a series of dream
sequences in which, trying to
make up her mind whether to
marry Burgess Meredith, George
Murphy or Alan Marshal, she
imagines herself married to each
of them in turn. Ter dreams
include babies which look exact
ly like their fathers, and which
actually are played by the three
leading men. AS often happens
in dreams, all the characters
speak with the same voice-that
of the dreamer. Thus Miss Rog-
ers has had to do practically all
the talking, her speech being
dubbed In when someone else
says something.
Most startling Is the sequence
where she sings all three parts
of q close harmony trio. The
number is Down by the Old
