C—8 APPRAISAL STUDY ATTRAGTING MANY Real Estate Institute and Columbia U. Plan to Accommodate 100. Advance registrations are already being made for the case-study courses in real estate appraisal announced by Columbia University and the Amer- ican Institute of Real Estate Apprais- ers. Inquiries are coming in from men engaged in real estate appraisal throughout the Eastern part of the United States who are prospective students. Only 100 students can be accommodated. ‘The courses, to be given under the Joint sponsorship of the institute and the School of Business of Columbia University, will be presented in two 2-week terms, June 7 to June 19 and June 21 to July 3, 1937 Paralleling the courses given for the last two Summers by the institute in co-operation with the School of Busi= ness of the University of Chicago, course 1 offers a general groundwork | in fundamental principles and proper procedure in the appraisal of resi- dential properties and course 2 offers training in the appraisal of typical | small-income properties Comprehensive Material. Comprehensive text material has been developed for use exclusively in these case-study courses, based upon outlines developed by the Education and Research Committee of the Amer- ican Institute of Real Estate Apprais- | ers. The entire program of texts and | lectures ties in with a master syllabus | of appraisal work that embraces all phases of regl estate appraisal prac- tice and technique. To learn to do by doing, each stu- dent, under the personal direction of & member of the faculty, will make a detailed and thorough appraisal of an actual real estate property, in one case of single-family homes and small-flat building properties; in the other, of typical small-apartment properties and | typical retail business properties. | The properties selected for these appraisals will cover balanced im- provements, over-improvements, un- der-improvements and misplaced im- provements. A complete, acceptable, detailed appraisal report will be required from each student | Dean of the courses will be George | L. Schmutz, Los Angeles, lecturer on property valuation at the University of Southern California since 1928 and valuator for railroad terminal proper- ties, etc. K. Lee Hyder Assisting.

In applying paint to ceiling surfaces, dip your brush no more than one-third the length of the bristle and keep it well scraped on the edge of the can. This helps prevent the paint from | running down your arms.

OW would you like never to carry a clothes basket full of wet wash again? And how would your back rellsh the prospect of not bending over to | pick the clothes, piece by piece, from the laundry basket on the ground? To most women who do their own washing the answer is “Too good to be true.” but true it is. It is within the reach of every household manager who has saved $2 from her budget. That's all a laundry car costs. A laundry car is nothing more than a collapsible table-high support a clothes basket, with wheels on each of its four legs. You can keep it in a closet or—if you are building a new house—have a special compartment | some- | built into your kitchen wall, thing like the compartments into which you fold your ironing board. To use it, al set the laundry basket in the top of it, then fill the basket in the usual | w and push the whole thing out- side as you would a perambulator. It glides over floors, grass or sidewalk with equal ease, and is big enough to hold clothes, The wonder is that something like was invented before. Ap- have been appearing on the market from year to year, making the operation of washing machines more and more effortless and auto- simplified by more rigid ironing ta- bles, automatic irons and even com= plete ironing machines. But noth- ing, before the advent of this anti- stooping gadget, ever helped alleviate the drudgery of carrying the wet wash out to be dried. It is light in weight (only 7! pounds), tough enough to many years, and any standard-sized wicker basket will fit the cross bars on top. x % ¥ % IS YOUR house cursed with a com- | mon known as lingitis™?
