Tuesday eveiang by Mdnund D. . Rheem outlned the precedure handing a real estate loan both th standpoint of the borrower tha of the lender. He explained rfoe time involved as weon as theory , titles and appraisals. In speaking af the advantages af Wea estate mortgages as invetments OWd particularly those features that 4.astantly attract Investors to this - id, Mr. Rheem enumerated the fol Doing: 1. It Is secured by property worth 6om 60 to 40 per cent more than the annount of money loaned; 2. The interest Is fixed and paid at regular Intervals, so that the income is not dependent on the varying con ditions of the times; 3. The vaiue of the principal is staple, and not subject to the fluctus tions due to depressions of the money market; 4. It does not depend upon the re sibility of one man or one rertion, or -on whether that man -or corporation is doing a prosperous -business: 6. It has a definte time to run. so that one can always arrange for re iavestment well in advance of ,Maturity* 4. It Is convenient and can be Used a* collateral. In sketching the development o( the aortgage Investments It was POte out that large mortgages were mad available to a greater degree by divi Ing them into sums of small denomina tion. Mr. Rheem stated It was hardly possible to estianate the great influ once which the development of this feature had in connection with the vrection of new buildings, particularly of the larger type. This, in a large tsagsure, has accounted for the rapid growth of our city and the country as a whole in recent years and at the mae time has adequately taken care of the increased population which has gradually been attracted to the larger I cities. on the other hand, It was explained that this method of dividing mort gages into small denominations bad ade it possible for hundreds of thou gands smaller investprs to earn a high return of interest on their savings with perfect mafety and with practical- x ly no care or worry. I, qeit Tuesday evening Chas. P. v Banns assistant manager, Under- r writers Association, pltrict of Col umbla, will lecture to the class on the t subject, "Fire Insurance." *ULLOCn & COMPANY MOVE TO NEW BUILDING " Announcement was made during i the week by Douglas.

Ie finest of fishing is obtained here; also motor boating, sailing, bath. ing; In fact, every beach sport. Avis. tion is also a popular sport at Miami. The harbor development at 3maai has progressed at a wonderful rate. and aA a result it boasts that commer cial boats from aln of the seven seas touch at this port. The "Goverum t Cut." which OW tends 3 7.10 miles ram the ocean and jettles to the municipal dook, is -a straightaway course 18.9 feet in depth at mean low tide, which accouonodstae large boats. The importance of these harbor improvements cainot be over estimated. for they are a foreruaner of a "greater MIam." More then two million dollars has been spent on this Improvement. both Cty and Govern ment sharing the expense. One of the striking Improvements at Miami which shows Its progressive ne is the new Cl00,0 eauseway, which links the city with the beach. For several years there was an old Wooden bridge over this span of wa ter, but now this unsightly structure has been replaced with this new con crete strlcture, which Is flanked by palms and flowers, a two-way auto aobile concourse, pedestrian walks., and a trolley line. The causeway is 3% miles long and stands as a monument to the enterprise of the city. The Increase in the number of build ings erected each year at Miami is as tonishing. The houses are mainly built of concrete-hence the name of "City of Concrete"--though in several ec tions of the city more modest, though attractive, bungalows of wood and stucco are being erected by the thou sands. This building movement is enhanc. ing real estate values, though experts in Miami realty state that the real movement has not srted and that the next twelve months should see a material increase.

Think back three years. Then themr was hardly a country in Europe that was not in danger of starvation but for the United States. They needed foed, they needed credit, they needed shipptng. Now, except for a few black spots, the fhod problem Is solved. Production has been restarted. En cept for a reduction in purchasing power, which will rigit Itself gradu ally, trade Is being opened up en old lines. "The only problem Is.what is called in this count fisal finance-public finae.

Russia has ceased absolutely to be a miUtary or nual danger to the world. Ruses is moribund. Ruai is a oess pool. If you like. But Russia Is In capable of military or moral offense.

It Is asserted by a repreentative of the Mack-International Motor Truck Oerporation that such an ordinane would be excellent Oale m for Vpeedometer maker an dealer. In view of this fact it is claimed that the speedometer service stations should be required by the ordinance to as sume responsibility for keeping the speedometers accurate without charge to the owners. When arrest is made of an operator of a speedometer equipped vehicle and the office" de clare. the speed law ha. been violated the motorist frequently says "not according to my speedometer." The officer replies that the speedometer is "wrong" and )n court the officer's word always is accepted. The burden of proof rests with the motorist and a faulty instrument helps to con vict him. When the size of the tires on the car differs from the size of the tires that were on when the speedometer was 'het the Instrument is rendered in correct. The same holds good w4en uo.called over-sized tires are used unless the speedometer has been re adjusted and this is seldom done. It is doubtful if a speedometer ever Is tested when a new car is delivered to the purchaser. rhe accuracy of the instrument is unknown to both the seller and buyer. On the asumption that the pro posed ordinance w~zld be ineffective and every motorist would be put in jeopardy unless he could prove the accuracy of his speedometer It is suggested that it would be advisable to require speedometer dealers to make monthly tests of the instru ments free of charge and that slnilar tests be rmade when tires or wheels are changed, as only in this way could motorists feel reasonably certain that they were not unintentionally violat ing the ordinance. As to the provision requiring governors on solid tired vehicles, several makes of trucks are equipped with these Instruments by their manufacturers.
