30 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924 COQL WE THER MAKES REAL ESTATE SITUATION ENCOURAGING REALTY PEOPLE ARRANGE CRUISE To Take Mid-Winter Trip in the Tropics A midwinter cruise to Cuba and round the Caribbean, with visits to Jamaica, the Panama Canal Zone and Costa Rica, has been arranged for members of the National Association of Real Estate boards who take part in the annual meeting of the association to be held at Dallas, Texas, January 14, 15 and 16, 1925. The trip has been arranged to fol- low immediately after the close of the cruise. The "Parismina," one of the steam- ships of the "Great White Fleet," United Fruit Company line, has been booked by the association for the trip, the most elaborate post-convention recreational tour which realty men taking part in a national convention have ever been given the opportunity to join. The Dallas meeting is the annual business meeting of the association. Officers and directors of the associ- ation will meet with the national dele- gate body, consisting of official rep- resentatives of member boards in 507 cities of the United States and Canada and with members of the constituent boards. All members of constituent boards and their families are eligible to join the post-convention cruise. It is expected that the group will be large enough to command the ex- clusive use of the steamship. The trip will be made via New Orleans. Points not touched by regular steamship routes out of New Orleans have been included in the special itinerary arranged for the na- tional realtor excursion. It will in- clude a stay at Havana, a.trip by automobile over the mountains of Jamaica from Port Antonio to King- ston, a cruise by way of sunken Old Port Royal across the Caribbean to Cristobal, Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal, an inspection of Gatun Locks and Pedro Miguel Locks, an ex- ploring trip in and around Panama at the Pacific entrance, and a visit to the heights from which Balboa first saw the ocean. Coming up the Central American coast there will be a thirty-hour's stay at Port Limon, Costa Rica, and an optional trip of 103 miles into the in- terior, where the railroad climbs in a few hours up more than 5000 feet from a tropical to a temperate region. The party will leave New Orleans January 17 and return there February 3. No passports are required.

NEW BOOK GIVES GOOD ADVICE TO INVESTORS "How to Make Money in Real Ls- tate" cannot be reduced to a formula. But investment in real estate, with its pronounced element of safety, it sub- stantial personal satisfactions, its com- parative freedom from recessions in value even in static period of business depression, and its satisfactory income returns, based on the universal neces- sity for shelter, is a matter of universal interest. The man or woman who wants to put savings month by month into pur- chasing real estate that will be a sound and increasingly valuable holding; the operator who has capital for investment in central urban property, which is undergoing tremendous increases in value as American cities grow; and the speculator in real estate who acquires land in territory due for expansion and waits for the steady flow of develop- ment to roll over his holdings and in- crease their value; as well as the profes- sional real estate dealer, will be inter- ested in "How to Make Money in Real Estate," by Stanley IL. McMichael, of Cleveland, which has just been published by the Stanley McMichael publishing or- ganization. The author is a member of the Cleve- land Real Estate board. Preparation of the book is indicative of the increasingly pronounced interest in real estate literature connected with the general work in real estate educa- tion now being carried out by the con- stituent boards of the National Associ- ation of Real Estate boards. The book contains shrewd observa- tions concerning the process of invest- ing money in real estate carefully and well. It is aimed to show not only how to make money in such investments but also to show how not to lose money. It warns against shoe-string speculation, expectation of raises in value overnight, and purchase of lands through unreli- able agents. The problems that large real estate operators must deal with make up one section of the book. Women as invest- ors in real estate have a chapter to them- selves. The small investor is told some- thing of what are the types of invest- ment suitable to his purpose and what are some of the things he should know about a given piece of property before investing in it. Ninty-nine year leases are a special investment subject with a chapter to themselves. One chapter gives some of the ways in which a neighborhood can take action to build up its own value. ILLINOIS-IOWA GAME MECCA OF GRID FANS There is a steady demand for tickets for the Illinois-Iowa football game in the Illinois stadium on November 1. Although the Illinois ticket managers say that there will be plenty of tick- ets, wise fans seem to prefer to take no chances. They know that they are going and they figure that they might as well get their tickets and have nothing to worry about. That the Iowa game will be one of the feature battles in the west is now conceded. The Hawkeyes are coach- ed by Burt Ingwersen, former Illinois star and coach, and it will be a case of master versus pupil when Burt pits his charges against the Zuppmen. Iowa has a veteran team, said to be the biggest in the conference. I.ast year the same team lost to Illinois by a score of 9 to 6. The whole state of Towa is coming to back them. November 1 will be Dads, Rotary and Kiwanis day at Illinois and elab- orate arrangements including a parade of the brigade, 3500 strong, are being made to entertain the visitors. De Pauw, also coached by a former Illini, Jimmy Ashmore, comes to the Illinois stadium November 1. This ought to be a brisk little battle even if the odds favor the Illini. There will be no reserved seats for the De Pauw game. club and Forest Preserve.

A simple way to treat linen blinds is to lay them flat and rub with pow- dered bath brick, or if they are simply dusty, lay them flat and rub them with hot cornmeal with a circular mo- tion of the hand; then rub gently with a soft brush to remove both meal and dust.
