A. class in real estate, which is conducted under_ the auspices of the Washington Real Estate Board. Mr. Payne described insurance as a method of distributing losses due to a certain contingency over a group sub- ject to that contingency.

In order that the purchaser of a house may have a complete picture of his obligations, the salesman should present to the prospective home buyer all financing and upkeep costs in addition to the actual price of a house, John A. Petty, former secretary of the Washington Real Estate Board, declared in an address this week before the Alexandria, Ar- lington and Fairfax Real Estate Board at the Washington Golf and Country Club. Besides the cost of the house, Mr. Petty said, the prospect should be given figures on the financing of his home, the monthly charges for light- ing, gas, water, heat and all other fixed and unavoidable costs. If this were done, he said, the home owner would have a better idea of the size OWNER 1S FORCED TO 1 $SELL-QUICK! CORPO- ;' OUT OF ds to SELL AT ON{ has been cut way location. LOW TERMS.
