BY L. PORTER MOORE. Pr Home Owners' Institute Of all the' characteristics which have endeared the English architectural styles to American home owners, their predominant qualitics of adaptability and fitness to varying site conditions are perhaps paramount. This attribute of appropriateness, largely a product of the informal use of varying materials, is in- rent 1n the plan presented today, No. | 293-S. This 1s a design by Harold E. | Paddon, whose plans for the “Livable. | Lovable Home" and “House We Build | for a Bride” were featured in Good Housckeeping Magazine. | While the homelike charm of English houses, both large and small, has given | them a Nation-wide popularity, there has been some slight eriticism leveled at a good many English adaptations on the ground of uneconomical use of | space. This criticism. whether justified or not, is ruled out in today's plan, for | every available inch of space contributes strongly to the sense of spaclousness | apparent in the block plans shown beiow the picture on this page Labor Saving Promoted. careful detailing has also re- | sulted in_a design which easily accom- | modates all of these modern labor- | saving features which have transformed | the everyday life of the hopsewife. | A well equipped laundry ih the celiar, a built-in incinerator, which releases her from dependence on the vagaries of garbage collection. and other worthwhile features combine with simplicity of lay- out to lighten the tasks of housekeeping and to increase the joys of home for the wnole family. Certain elaborations or modifications if desired, could be easly and inex- | pensively made, taking advantage of the | adaptability of design. For instance, a two-car garage in the basement, per- mitted by the deep and fully excavated cellar, and a fireplace in the master’s | bedroom could be easily instalied. This latter item would cost very little be- | cause of the chimney's placement at the | proper location for the fireplace. | Specifications Outlined.

The board states: “Feeling their responsibility towards the public of Washingtcn, members of the Washington Real Estate Board are + whole-heartedly behind the model li- cense bill, similar to that in a great many States throughout the country. The board is introducing this bill pri- marily to safeguard the interest of the public and to assure the people of Washington " that all those practicing real estate here, whether members of the board or: not, will be persons who bear a good reputation for honesty. truthfulness, fair dealing and compe- tency. “The bill has long been under dis- cussion, and there naturally arises many elements in such legislation, but inasmuch as the bill is so framed that a person need only establish his good character and his ability in order to be granted a license the board feels no objection can logically be made to it “Because of the fact that real estate men deal largely with great amounts of money they are engaged in personal and fiduciary relations with their clients. and In many circumstances have the savings of a widow or a fam- ily or small means in their hands. every effort should be mafle to assure Dfl'.fu%' the co;mun:y that the men | n to such a highly important capacity should be men who are rea- ' sonably able to properly take care of " the interest of their clients. The bill provides that any person who is hon- orable and who is of reasonable intel- | ligence, whether a member of the | beard m'Ano‘f‘.1 cannot be a t times there is a right | of appeal. Bill Has Been Tested. “The bill is not a new piece of legis- rado, Florida, Georgia, 3 XY, Oregon. Louisiana, Michigan, New York, Qklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. “The constitutionality of this act has been passed upon and sustained by the courts of practically all of these States, as well as by the Supreme Court of the United States. It was first tested out In the case of Eratton vs. Chandler, 260 U. S., It was also svstained in the Chambers. 185 Pac., preme Court of the State of California. Ancther aspect of the act has been sustained in the Greenwald case, which came up in California and was argued before the Supreme Court of the United States last November, Purpose of Act. “The act sceks to regulate the man who is engaged in business rather than the business itself. We believe that if the right kind of en are engaged in the business it will not bs necessary to regulate the business. This is the theory of the acts permitting phjsi- cians and surgeons to practice and la TS to be admitted to the bar While we have no private opinion as to the language used in the act, yet we are anxious that, if siols, the bill be passed as near like mom submitted as possible, because other courts have already passed upon thess provisions and approved them. and 1% will be much easter to sustain tr in case an attack is made upon it is in substantial accord with the leg- islation already passed m other States.” INJUNCTION RESTRAINS “REALTOR” TERM USE Expolled Member of Board Pro- hibited by Court Decree From Advertising Self as Such. .
