REAL ESTATE. SPECIALIST GROUP INSPECTS HOUSES Silver Star Homes Demon- stration Program Advanced by Party’s Tour. The group of specialists of various lines of house construction and home building work who comprise the Sil- ver Star Homes Commiitee, preparing for the 1931 better homes demonstra- tion to be sponsored by The Star, spent & busy day and interesting afternoon this week inspecting a number of houses submitted by builders for en- trance in the program. The familiarity with the problems of home building and home ownership ghown by the official members of the party was evidence of the care with | which they are planning the Silver | Star Homes demonstration. Undeterred by Rain. ‘The ccmn , despite a continued drizzle of rain that marked the day, showed no disposition to postpone the inspection tour and at times plunged | unhesitatingly ~across the muddy grounds of the raw soil of the site of incompleted house projects in order to see closely how the work was pro- gressing. The committee will meet again next week to proceed with inspection of houses submitted for consideration in the program and shortly will render decision as to the first house to be sponsored. | The committee has set a high standard for a house deemed worthy of public demonstration under spon- sorship of The Star so that the public v be invited to inspect houses not| 11y good in design, plan and all other phases of treatment but of exceptional merit.

Professor Says Appeal to Women Would Aid i i | | Stabilization of Market. The farm land market could be/ stabilized greatly if farm land realtors would advertise, according to Lloyd D. Herrold, professor of advertising Northwestern University, Evanston, TIL | Hundreds of single women have chosen to feed corn to the chickens | rather than feed letters to a typewriter, | says Prof. Herrold in the weekly story ! issued by the National Association of | Real Estate Boards. 5 i ‘These women have made a success of poultry raising, stock raising and other ||| types of farming, yet the popular myth | that the modern woman would turn up | her nose at milking a cow has made many farm land salesmen timid about appr g women who could be per- suaded to make farming their life work, he_declares. | The study on farm land “appeals.” | also, shows women important factors in | selling farm lands to men. Here, 100, | says the professor, the farm land agents have overlooked their importance by sometimes falling to concentrate on| properties that would be pleasing to the | farmer's wife. There are five major appeals that get the farmer on the dotted line, and one | of these is consideration for his wife | in making a purchase that she will like. Analyzing the attitude of women to farm land the bulletin states that feminine farm land dwellers will not give up conveniences now looked upon as cssential, that they refuse to move to their lives will be full of hey insist on proximity to | 'm of amu: nent, a certain de- community lite, good schools | children, and good roads. but | here are more than enough farm lands such qualifications to satisfy many | buyers, says the university man. | TROOFS QUELL INDIANS Mexico Holds Four Tribal Chiefs After Menace to Ranchers.
