REAL ESTATE
ORGANIZE CO.
TO BUILD HOMES
4>.p|an .$75,000 Corporation to
Supply Demand For Houses
in Steelton
Formation of a development com
i try with a capital stock of probably
$75,000 is now being discussed bv
prominent Steelton businessmen and
contractors to undertake the erection
of new houses to fill an already exist
ing demand in the borough.
Already tlie Municipal League has
looked into the project and given it
li arty endorsement. The principal
movers behind the proposition are now
feeling out prospective stock purchas
ers to discover upon Just what magni
tude the plan may be undertaken.
For several years past Steelton lias
faced the problem of obtaining more
moderately priced homes and since
renditions in the steel trade have
shown such a marked improvement a
real house famine has been brought
about. Reliable real estate agents de
clare there isn't a desirable home in
the borough for rent end that many
employes of the steel works are forced
to live elsewhere.
It is to overcome such a condition
that the proposed company is being
organized. The plan is to sell stock
and tackle the problem on the co
operative basis. A number of desirable
homes will be built upon a tract of
ground now available for develop
ment. Just as soon as these are rented
or sold the money thus obtained will
be reinvested in additional homes. In
this manner it is believed the borough
may be developed and the stockholders
of the proposed company may obtain
a fair return for their money.
LEGISLATION CONFERENCE
Realty brokers of the State will be
called to Harrlsburg within a few
•weeks, when it is expected brokers
from every town and county in the
commonwealth will be represented.
Legislative matters to be submitted to
the next General Assembly are to be
< onsidered. One of the principal topics
for consideration will be legislation
that will relieve real estate from the
heavy burden it now bears.

A Busy Man Is Producer
of "Birth of a Nation"
1
The official biographer of David W.
Griffith, the great motion picture
producer, asked for some data and
ffot the answer that "He was born in
Kentucky, that he grew up in a house
like most boys; started out after his
school and college days to find his
place In the world, and that since he
went Into the business of producing
pictures he has lived most of the
time under his hat."
Strangely reticent about his per
sonal affairs, the creator of "The Birth
of a Nation" (when you know him)
has one of the most interesting per
sonalities in the world.
Few men owe more to their parents
than the famous director does to
Brigadier General Jacob W. Griffith
and Mrs. Mary Perkins Griffith. The
father held distinguished command in
the Southern army. He died when D.
W. Griffith was but a lad, nevertheless
the sixth sense of military strategy
that the boy inherited and the vivid
depiction of Civil War campaigns that
General Griffith used to tell have re- 1
mained ever with the son. Mrs. Grfflth
—the mother was David's best
friend. She gave him a good educa
tion, schooled him in the old-fashion
ed chivalry of Kentucky, and watched
his welfare and progress with a whole
hearted love and devotion. Mrs.
Griffith Hve<l long enough to see her
son achieve fame.

which. A stock company director'
named Oscar Eagle gave him his first
' job at Macauiey's Theater, Houisville.
from which post he drifted to New
York and alternated between playing
parts and writing.
While careful for the safety of his'
people, he personally fears no danger
and often takes big chances in the
outdoor directing work. One of his
high-powered automobiles contains a
speed of nearly 100 miles an hour.
With G. W. Bitzer, his photographer,
he pushes the speed limit ahead of
the wild rides of the Clansmen on
their horses in the Ku Klux scenes.

| his work as good fun, as exhilerating
j sport, rather than as a task. His is
one of the spirits that finds life ex
tremely fascinating, interesting and
1 diverting. His alert intelligence
grasps every new phase eagerly.
Back in New York off his studio
labors. Mr. Griffith would rather
dance than do anything else. He be
lieves in dancing as the most ancient
and the most beneficial of all exer
cises, "Note the lighting people of
the world." he said, "they are dancers
every one of them. All the conquests
have been won by dancing people,
and all the great achievements have
been wrought by nations that dance."
; Griffith gets 500 letters and 50 tele
i grams every day. It would save a lot
lof anxious folks some heartburnings
to know that he never answers the
letters. He opens them and tosses
them in huge stacks on his general
! manager s table where the faithful j
clerks sort out the minute grains of
wheat from the chaff and attend to
the really important things.

Board of Property Hears
Island and Land Claims
Attorney General Francis Shunk
Brown was present at the hearings bo
fore Secretary of Internal Affairs
Houfck and the members of the Hoard
of Property on the matter of the ap
plication of B. J. H. Douglass for title
to tin island in the Susquehanna river
opposite Kelker street, and on the case
of John H. Hoerner versus Robert S.
Conklin, Commissioner of Forestry, in
the matter of the ownership of 40»
acres of land in Franklin county.
The City Planning Commission of
Harrisburg opposed the granting o- the
title to Douglass on the ground that
such would be greatly opposed to the
public good. Governor Brumbaugh is
in accord with the eommission in be
lieving that the State or city should
control all property in the public
streams.
In the case of Hoerner versus Conk
lin, Senator Hoke, of Chainbersburg,
argued the case for the former while
Deputy Attorney General Hargest
argued the ease for the Forestry Com
mission. The question at issue was as
to whether a branch of the State gov
ernment has a right to intervene as
against Hoerner's claim. Decision in
both cases was deferred.
