The school is the Boltwood, being named for Prof.| Henry L. Boltwood, a noted Evan- | ston educator. It's to stand on the south side of Greenleaf street, hav-| ing a frontage of 258 feet on that | thoroughfare, with frontages of 136 feet each on Elmwood and Sherman | avenues. The Boltwood school is to | be of adapted Venetian Gothic archi- tecture and will have a faint resemb- | lance to the famous palace of the | doges in Venice. An imposing clock | with a chamber for chimes, will lend | a picturesque touch to the building. The brickwork of the structure will| be of rough texture in orange shades, | trimmed with Bedford stone in buff. That Albert.]J.

Chicago's colorful Chinatown, cen- tered round Wentworth and 22d, is to have the most elaborate, modern, and complete orieatal playhouse in the world. This gorgeously hued Celestial dramatic temple will house both Chi- nese opera, drama, and a part of the time far eastern films made in China, showing oriental Charlie Chaplins and Harold Lloyds.

WARNS AGAINST FARM LAND BOOM IN STATE C. N. Gorham Declares Realty Men Must Aid in Preventing Threatened Stampede -- Warning of a farm land boom in Illinois, repeating that of 1920, was sounded at Springfield last week by C. N. Gorham, of Decatur, president of the Illinois association of Real Es- tate boards, in his inaugural address at the association's convention. He cited reports covering actual farm transfers throughout the state, indicating that farm land prices which post war deflation carried far below the actual capitalized value of their net income, are regaining their former lev- el and that there is an increased vol- ume of sales. The sales, he said, will be accelerated by bumper crops, the easing of credit conditions and the drop in interest rate. Congress, too, is giving right of way to farm prob- lems. "Speculators," he declared, "may change a healthy advance into a stam- pede. That is what happened in Il- | linois in 1920 and in Florida in 1925, | and we don't want it to happen here now. "We don't want speculators to buy Illinois farms. It should be the effort of every realtor to put every avail- able farm into the hands of men who have the ability and the financial strength to hold and operate them." He quoted Secretary Jardine as say- ing: "This is the time for farmers to buy farms, and if they already own them, to hold farms." R.M. Johnston & Co. Reports Two Sales of Vacant Property W. E. Watts with the Illinois Power & Light Corporation has purchased through R. M. Johnston & company a 50 foot wooded lot on the east side of Seventeenth street south of Wil- mette avenue where he will erect a modern six room brick house. The lot was purchased from Fred 0. Nel- sen and wife. Mr. Watts expects to start construction within the next ten days, contract already having been let. R. M. Johnston & company also re- port the sale of a tract of ground 62 by 330 feet on the main street of Deerfield for the Chicago Title and Trust company as trustees to Herman Frost. The property is zoned business and was purchased as a site for a busi- ness block which Mr. Frost contem- plates building.
