ESTATE. THE EVENING STAR, COST OF POSSIBLE SHIRT LOSS FIGURED IN RE ALTOR MEET BILL Bulletins List All Possible Expenses for Those Attending Convention at Baltimore Late This Month. An item covering the possible loss of a shirt is included in a table of the es- timated expense to be Incurred by realtors of the country through attend- ance at the annual convention of the National Association cf Real Estate Boards at Baltimore late this month. In advertising bulletins sent out over the country, realtors to attend the convention, the national association figured the cost expectancy down to a nicety, giving estimates for railroad fare from even the most distant points, hotel bills, tips, an allowance for home town newspapers and a $2 item for the realtor's shirt that he might miss in a rush to catch a train. No - reason was given for including the $2 “lcst shirt” item and the best local explanation is that the national realtor publicity man merely wanted to | inject a laugh into a dry talk about financing the convention trip.

Agents’ Co-Operation Asked. As its first step, the Real Estate Board has issued an appeal to real estate agents, asking co-operation. Ar- thur Carr, realtor president, included in the statement offered the co-opera- | tion of the board in handling com- plaints regarding specific signs. The statement sent to realty brokers | throughout the city contains the fol- lowing suggestions: “Signs with stakes driven in the ground should be firmly supported so that they will remain .in a perpendic- ular position. Such signs should never | be allowed to rest against nor be at- tached to any bullding. “Painted signs once used should not be removed to another location with- out at least being cleaned or re- painted. | Neat Placing of Signs. i “All signs attached to bulldings | thould be neatly placed, preferably on | a_smooth surface, securely fastened at | all corners and displayed at a height of -firoxtmltely six feet from the ground. “No signs should ever be nalled or attached to trees. | “All signs should be periodically in- | metwd and if found unsightly they | ould be replaced or removed. | “Attention is called to the sign law | of March, 1913, which specifically 1)-:rm-' hibits any real estate broker from | placing any ‘For Sale’ or ‘For Rent’| sign on any property without the writ- | ten consent of the property owner. | This same law prohibits any. real es- | tate agent from displaying more than | one sign on an individual prupeny‘ and limits to three the number of | brokers who may be permitted to dis- | play signs on any one property.” | British Radio Official Sails. | LONDON, May 16 (#).—Sir_John | Reith, director general of the British | Broadcasting Co., sailed on the Aquita- | nia today for New York, where he will address the first international assembly of the National Advisory Council of Radio in Education. 612 Butternut St. N.W.
