Charm Plays Important \
Part in Real Estate
In nothing outside of art does the I
Intangible element known as charm j
pia.v so important a part as in real es- ,
tate. The hoine-buyer is usually a j
very Undecided and bewildered sort of !
person. He has a vague idea of what j
he mints, but can't quite tlud it. He !
is shown dozens of houses for sale.
The price counts within his rntnpe. j
That Is. say he will pay from $t'.,f|dO :
to $8,000 for a five-room house. iltislde
if that range the one thing that j
counts most with him Is not the cost |
of the house, but whether or not he j
wants It. '
Now that is where charm comes It.
If the outlook is pleasant, the house !
convenient, and it hag some beauty j
that makes him want It?the sale is j
made on your terms. If he does not >
quite want it, the price must he cut
Ave hundred or a thousand dollars, to
make the cheapness overcome his reluctance.
It is surprising how few builders
reair/e me great commercial vaiue <u
beauty and good taste, I can take j
two liouses exactly alike, side by side.
The least expensive thing about a simple
little house is tinting the walls. It j
costs perhaps, for five rooms, less than j
$75. I can tint the rooms In one of j
these houses a drab, depressing color: , ,
the other a bright pieasnnt shade. The | 1
bright e ie will sell.for $500 more than
the other?antf sell months sooner.
Almost the entire secret In investing
in city property Is: Select a location I
that .is growing better, and buy some- j
thing that has charm.?William H. j

Not All Workert Want
Hornet Near Factory
There is no demand from jnodern
workingmen to have their homes
within sound of the factory's whistle
and within sight of its smokestacks,
according to the executives of the
Home Builders' and Subdividers' division.
And it is by no means necessary
or advisable to preempt for workingmen's
homes areas that because of
trackage facilities or other reasons
are going some day to be needed by
the city for industrial sites.
"Where his wife's card club is located
is a great deal more important
to a foundryman or machinist than
where his work happens to be," the
home building specialists agree.
Action .of the regional planning com- ;
mission of I .or Angeles Is cited'hv the
committee as a typical Instance of a !
city's recognition of the advisability |
In some cases of giving an Industrial i
use precedence over use for housing. I
The commission Is now excluding j
homes from certain districts In the j
city, because trackage facilities there |
need to he conserved for future industrial
development.
Cites Zoning Benefits
Zoning is reflected In reasonable
phone rates, gas and electric prices
and in street car fares. Chairman
Marshall of the board of zoning appeals
declared In a speech before the
Baltimore real estate board.
Mr. Marshall explained that the
. number of houses in new developments
and the price of their construction
regulates the number of Inhabitants
and enables public service
corporations to forecast In advance
Improvements they must supply In the
section concerned.
"The ability of the public service
corporations to give service without
large emergency expenses will result
In lower costs to the consumer," Mr.
Marshall said. "We In Baltimore *
should be allowed to pass legislation .
that will protect the public from '
mull mlnrtHtr " <
Good Work Encouraged
The committee on craftsmanship
awards of the Philadelphia Building
congress has awarded certificates to
12 guildsmen, 8 craftsmen and 7 builders
and subcontractors.
The object of the Philadelphia Building
congress Is to encourage and preserve
In Philadelphia and Its metropolitan
area the spirit of craftsmanship
and to give recognition to those
whose skill, patience and toil have
built well In the community.
LADY SURZA
Lady 6urza de Mar Shemun, an
Assyrian chieftainess who was the
only woman delegate at the peace conference
of Versailles, has been In London
trying to persuade the British to
restore her people to their territories
from which they have been driven by
. the Turks. They are now living In the
plains of Mosul. Lady 8urza Is a nur
but wears European dress.

A World Monopoly of Helium Is Being Squandered
in This Country
By DR. ROBERT B. MOORE, Government Chemist
The world monopoly of helium, "precious to national defense," is being
squandered in this country without a thought to the future, Dr. Robert
B. Moore, former chief chemist of the United States bureau of mines,
declared in a statement made public through the American Chemical society.
Doctor Moore urges* congressional action, asserting the navy flyers
need helium, but that adequate supplies are beyond their reach, because
the secretary of the interior is handicapped through lack of appropriations.
The secretary of^the interior has full authority to acquire leases by
purchase or otherwise- in order to obtain a reserve oLhelium-bearing gas
for the national defense, but this authority without ^>ney does not mean
much and it is now up to congress to provide the funds.
Meanwhile 600,000,000 or 700,000,000 cubic feet of helium are going
to waste every year in our natural gas, and it becomes increasingly difficult
each year to get an adequate supply of reservation without unduly
affecting industry or the convenience of local users. Every year thia
matter has been postponed and if congress does not take action it is going
to make it not only harder but more expensive for the American people.
The men who are looking forward to commercial aviation recognise
fully the fact that helium must be used. They are for helium, provided
they are given sufficient gas to flv their ships.
Up to the present the plant at Fort Worth has produced more than
25,000,000 cubic feet of the rare gas. Of this, 20,000,000 cubic feet have
been produced since September 30, 1923, and owing to a loss from storage
due to leaky valves, etc.. this total amount has not actually been available.
