(Continued From First Page.) 1909-1910, the Afirst flying machine placed in practical use by any govern- | ment. The resolution approved by the Sen- ate at the past session, designed to create a commission to study the mat- ter of a new industrial museum, stated ngre authorized improve- ments in the city of Washington, in- cluding the extension of Ninth street through the Mall. which will require the demolition of the Arts and Indus- | tries Building of the National Museum | now under the supervision of the Smith- sonian Institution. The demolition of such building will deprive. the Nation of its only national | industrial museum. “The present building has long been | insufficient to contain the industrial ex- hibits which are now in the possession of the Government and which are| stored about Washington, and this in- | adequacy has prevented the acquisition, by gift and otherwise, of many valuable and interesting exhibits which would otherwise have come into the possession of the United States and some of which have been lost. | “Other important industrial nations | of the world have maintained for many years industrial museums far surpassing the inadequate facllities of the present | muszum in the United States. “The replacement and reorganization of the National Industrial Museum should be such that it would worthily represent the high standing of th® United States as the leading industrial Nation of the world and meet the needs of its diversified industries.” | Want Notable Structure, Some officials have had in mind the | creation of “the world’s greatest mu- | seum building” here. Smithsonian offi- | clals a number of years ago conceived | tentative plans for a new structure to be erected in the rear or to the south | of the present building, on ground lying between Seventh and Eleventh streets, Until its time has come, the old Arts For Families and Industries Building will continue to attract streams of interested visitors, though the museum’s facilities are badly crowded and aithough many donations of large additional collections must be rejected for lack of space.

Kissell of the National Asso- ciation of Real Estate Boards. , ‘The committee will determine to what extent variations now exist in commis- sicn schedules throughout the country, will work out the best methods of build- ing a schedule of charges, and will con- sider the practical aspects of a national or standard schedule for real estate men. Machinery for building commission schedules may be developed by this committee, that will be helpful to the assoclation member boards, even though specific rates are not included, accord- ing to Mr, Kissell. The committee may consider the value to the realty profession of adopting “at least a mcre standardized” basis of compensation for realtors, according to Mr. Kissell, who cited the benefits to the architectural profession in the de- velopment of their standardized rates. $3,500,000 Mortgage Re;ardad.
