Realtors Fast
Becoming Real
Estate Owners
A Pleasant Home
Business Changing From Brok
erage to "Merchandising,
Resulting in Better
Service to Customers.
The business of real estate is
slowly changing from that of being
an agent or broker, to that of buying
and selling, or "merchandising," ac
cording to George F. Jones, head
of the G. F. Jones company.
"The reason for this," said Jones,
"is that realtors find it more sat
isfactory to do business as an owner,
rather than as a broker, also that
they can serve their customers bet
ter. "A drygoods merchant when he
sells a piece of cloth, does it as an
owner, not as an agent. lie can
make his decisions quicker and is in
a better position to give his custom
er what is desired than if he were
acting as agent for sonic other
owner. I
Change to Merchants.
"Several Omaha realtors in the
last year have been changing their
business trom that ot real estate
agents, to real estate merchants.
"As a real estate merchant, ;
realtor can give his customer exact
lv what he or she wants. If the
customer wants something changed,
the merchant can change it. Every
detail regarding title, loans, hnanc
ing, is taken care of by the merchant,
immediately.
"All the customer has to decide
is whether he wants the property
The real estate merchant does the
rest.
Assortment of Property.
"Real estate merchants try to
maintain at all times, an assortment
of properties, especially houses, just
as the merchant ot any other com
modity keens an assorted stock on
hand. My own firm pays as much
'attention to its buying as its sellir ;.
"Of course there is a big field for
the realty agent or broker and al
ways will be. The reason that there
always will be this field is that the
value of real estate is so large that
no merchant or set of merchants
can get control of it.
"But the real estate merchant has
come to stay. " There will be more
,o him."

Vice President Sholes of the real

Commissioners Hummel and Hop

to the commissioners the co-operation
of the realtors in any movement

Omaha's streets and boulevards.
Mr. Sholes said the realtors would
approve Comtuisioner Hummel's ef
forts to have Omaha's boulevards
permanently paved. He also agreed
with Commissioner Hopkins that
heavy hauling should be kept off
streets on which pavement is not
laid on a heavy base.
Commissioner Hummel urged
that the city should acquire land for
parks and drives while it is available
as a "preparation for the future."
Commisisoner Hopkins said he be
lieves the city planning board's
street-widening projects should be
carried out at once.

Realtor Reports Numerous
Purchase of Tracts Near
South Omaha.
Sunday evening will mark the
close of the official opening of the
sale of the "Childs' estate acres,"
lying; south of" the city limits of
South Omaha, which was placed on
the market several weeks ago by
Shuler & Cary, local realtors, Kee
line building.
An additional week's time was
given to the sale by the promoters
instead of closing it last Monday,
because of the hard rains on that
date, a number of persons having ap
pointments to look at the tracts be
ing prevented from attending the
sate. A large number of sales were
reported last week by fr. Shuter. .
This valuable tract is appealing to
the public especially because it is
considerably lower in value than the
other property surrounding it
"This is' the last opportunity for
purchasers of this land to get the
benefit of the 10 per cent reduction
for cash and to get the tracts at the
same price," declared Mr. bhuler.
"There will be a substantial increase
in values next week."
The petition for the laying of the
water main has been signed and will
be submitted to the water board next
week.

Bobbed Hair by Day, Switch
By Night, Is Chicago Style
Girls Now Keeping Locks and Curls They Cut Off
For Evening Use "Bobs" Increasing at High
Schools Chicago Woman Dean Says They
Are Sign of Independence.
Chicago, June 4. Bobbed hair
by day; switches and coiffures by
night.
That's the fashion.
When bobbed hair first became the
rage the bottom dropped out of the
switch market, but that condition
didn't last long, and now switches are
in demand as much as they used to
be when "everybody wore 'cm."
Girls are now keeping the locks
and curls that they cut off for eve
ning use.
The number of bobs is increasing
constantly at the high schools in
Chicago. According to the dean of
women this is significant.
"It means," she said, "that girls
are showing more initiative, more
independence, more aggressiveness.
"The girl who wants to attract
attention, who likes being the leader,
who is always the first to adopt new
rules, is usually the short-haired girl.
We do not encourage it, of course,
because it is foolish to cut off lung,
thick hair. But it is a curious index
to character."
Over at the Art Institute, where
one would expect to find bobbed
hair, you see very little of it.
"Maybe it's because the students
studying art get an impression in
their work for the impulse that
makes other rrirls want to cut their
hair," said Miss Lackey, a teacher.
"I is, of course, an effect that is ob
tained. Art students probably get it
in their smocks."
Mrs. E. M. F.uriiham, who is an
authority on what is and what is not
chic, says bobbed hair has come to
stay.
"We are cutting them all day
long," she said. "Most of them arc
sub-debs. It lends charm to the face.
Of course, for formal wear, on goes
the net and under go the locks and
curls and switches."
Insurance Company Buys
Site for Office Building
The fact that the Commonwealth
Life Insurance company purchased
last week a site at Thirty-fifth av
enue and Farnam street for an of
fice building has caused considerable
favorable comment among realtors.
News that another Omaha con
cern is to build a home of is own,"
said A. T. Elmer, chairman of the
Omaha Real Estate board's apprais
al committee, "is another evidence
of the faith that Omaha business in
stitutions have in the city.
"Every movement of this kind
tends to further stabilize Omaha
ground value. The best surety that
any city can have of further growth
is the fact that its own business iu-
stitutions have homes for them
selves."

Cincinnati, June 4. "In the last
20 years one-twentieth of the popu
lation of the United States has been
involved in divorces," declared C. C.
Carstens of New York, national di
rector of the Child Welfare league;
of America, who conferred hcrri!
with the M executives of local child;;
welfare institutions. i
"The child is generally merely a,'!
pawn on the chessboard and is 1
given but little consideration in most '
divorce cases," he said. "The total
number concerned in these divorce
cases has been 5,3.15,000 men, worn-;
en and children. These liKiircs ai o
based on census returns and other
data. They give an idea of the vat
extent of the problem of the child's
welfare in divorce cases.
"The Child Welfare league is,:
striving to sec that the child gets
a square deal. We are also actively"
interested in protcctinpr the mindi
.of girls and youths under 18 years
of age from the baneful influence of
'movie' pictures of 'the cnternal
triangle' type. We believe that rigid
censorship of the movies is tbr;
