YOUR MONEY AT WORK
A Plan for Buying Real Estate
Bonds.
BY JOHN M. osK1soN.

A Baltimore company has in opera
tion an interesting plan for selling to
small investors on installments first
mortgage bonds secured by liens on
homo properties.
The company lends to home owners
or builders or those who want to buy
the land on which their homes stand
up to so per cent of the auction value
Of the property. These loans are made
payable in eight years and six months.
and for each 500 advanced the bor-
rover pays back Is cents a week, 50
that at the end Of that time his debt
Is extinguished.
To secure the loans. the company
takes first mortgages on the property.
These mortgages then become the
basis for bonds issued In denomina-
tions ranging from 800 to $1,000.
TO investors, then. these bonds are
offered on the installment plan. A
buyer may pay as little as so cents
down and as much per week until the
500 bond is paid for. On the money
so paid in by installments the company
pays per cent interest; and when the
buyer gets the bond it pays s per cent.
On behalf of the installment bond
buyer (also. naturally. the bonds are
sold for cash), the company attends to
all matters In connection with making
the mortgages. keeping all taxes and
insurance and water charges paid up.
sees that the title Is clear and that no
previous liens exist. AS the borrower
pays in his weekly installments toward
freeing his property from the lien, the
money is loaned out to other borrow
ers.
AS the loans expand, the number of
bonds based on the mortgages in
creases. The company makes the point
that its own money is always first put
into these mortgages, and they are sold
to investors only after their safety is
assured.
The company wishes to attract as
bond buyers the very people who work
hard and save slowly and persistently
and put their money in savings banks.
1t says that its mortgage bonds offer
as great a measure of safety as any
savings bank, and where the savings
bank depositor gets from 3 per cent to
percent in interest dividends. buy
ers Of the bonds get 5 per cent while
paying for the bonds and s per cent
thereafter.
1t is a perfectly sound plan. There
is profit In it for the company, and
there ought to be no question as to
the security of investment by buyers
Of the bonds.

SECOND MORTGAGES BARRED.
Not Acceptable as Security for Fed
eral Farm Loans.

Farmers cannot borrow on second mort
cages under the new farm loan system.
To correct an impression that has become
widespread to the effect that second
mortgages would be accepted. a state
ment has been issued by Herbert Quick.
a member Of the board.
Under the law" he said. no mort
cages can be accepted except first mort
cages. It is the opinion. however. of
many bankers and real estate men over
the country that where first mortgages
are given with low interest rate and long
time provisions. the second mortgage in
the hands Of private investors will be-
come a very much more attractive form
Of security than under the present sys-
tenn.
''The opinion is quite general that the
second mortgage for part of the pur-
chase price. under the system. will en-
able very many tenants to become land
oyners on the basis Of making it COM
paratiyely easy to get homes Of their
own. It is hoped by the board that the
system in this way will constantly reduce
farm tsnantxys"

WEAR INVISIBLE UNIFORM.
Italian Army Also Has the Ugliest,
It Is Said.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ITALIAN
ARMY. October 1.-The uniform of the
Italian army is said to be both the ugiiest
and the least visible Of any worn In
Europe. tits wearer doesn't even make
a shadow said one visitor recently
among the party Of American officials
that accompanied Ambassador Thomas
Nelson Page to the front
The color is officially described as gray
green. An Englishman tried to convey
his idea of it as follows ~sTake some blue
Nile mud. rub in carefully TWO pounds of
ship rat hair. paint roam horse with
the composition and then you will UNDER
stand why the Austrians can't see the
Italian soldiers in broad daylight at fifty
yards"
The color was adopted ten years ago
especially for use in mountain fighting.
The Italian army was among the first
to make a science Of the question of uni
form colors. 1t did not select for in
stance. the horizon-colored uniform adopt
ed more than a year ago by the French
because while this is the least visible on
roads and plains of a fiat, open country.

MAY INVOKE POSTAL LAWS.
Federal Statutes Inadequate for
Prosecution of Fake Bank Promoters.

Promoters of fraudulent schemes for
organizing joint stock land banks un-
der the new rural credit system may
be subject to prosecution under state
laws. The federal laws providing for
prosecutions for fraud and conspiracy
apparently do not apply.
This Is the opinion submitted by At
torney General Gregory to the federal
farm loan board. He holds the view
that the alleged frauds which have so
disturbed the board fall within the
scope Of state laws.
whether prosecutions will lie under
the postal laws now is the inquiry
being put by the board to the Post Of
