rarely uses a pen. His London home,
Oakley Lodge, is just around the corner

NORWAY'S LOAN OFFICE
FOR WORKINGMEN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2,-The Norwe-
gian government has found a way of as
sisting workingmen to acquire homes.
THE scheme is described in a report to the
state department by United States Con-
sui Bardel at Bamberg, Germany. A
state institution for loaning money called
the Norwegian Workingmen's Bank, was
opened last October, 1t makes loans for
the purchase of workingmen's homesteads
to consist of at least one and one-fourth
acres and not more than Ave acres. The
land must either be cultivated or fit to be
cultivated. and must not exceed the tax
value of SS04 for land and home, or $3.50
for the land alone. Loans for the cree
ton of houses may be made by needy
Norwegian subjects either male or female.
Loans can also be made by country or city
communities or by building associations
which have charters to erect workingmen's
houses. Local committees pass upon the
requests for loans and these committees
are responsible for the money, The inter
est for loans on land is 3la per cent, and
for houses 415 per cent. The refunding
must be accomplished in from % to AZ
years.
