 By action of the house of bishops also, Thanksgiving Day is to be cre- ated d holy day of the church. Con- currence of the deputies is necessary
 Choice fer place for the next meet ing has found divided sentiment in the two bodies. The house of bish- ops has selected Philadelphia and the house Of. deputies today unanimously decided upon Portland. Oregon. The bishops will be asked to meet the wishes of the other house.

The occasion was informal. the cardi- nal appearing on invitation of the house of deputies. He expressed a sympathetic desire for concord in di- vine worship @and voiced appreciation for Americas help to Belgium during the war.

TO FACILITATE MORTGAGES FOR
 1 BUILDING DEVELOPME MENT

St. Louis. Mo-. Oct. 20.-There is retard es. building development extend- ing over practically all of the United States which will tax the capacity of existing mortgage machinery to the utmost, according to the report of Ihc req lestate secu-iries committee SUI naitted at the convention of the In- vestmeEt Bankers association here to- night.
 The report added that a considerable portion of many of our cities, notably New York. will practically have to be rebuilt in the! next twenty years. and the existing mortgage system is in- .ade1ua te for the purpose . Mortgages in the United States compared with other forms of securi- very recent date been handled in & relatively primitive and archaic man ner.' The mortgage business. by req son of certain fundamental defects in the manner in which it has been con- ducted, has lacked the recognition to which it is entitled.
 With more uniform standards would come greater security, uniform ity in practice, a ready market, in- creased confidence and more general accepts bility of security which would be the best in the world having behind it the basis of all security"
 This report stated real estate con ditions throughout the country may be said to be active but not highly spec ulative and securities are in most cases made not upon present prices and rents, but rather upon a fair com promise between pre-war and present conditions and upon proven earning power. The committee reported that a recent study in twenty-five cities indi- cated labor costs have increased dur '55 per cent and material prices 75 per cent.
