permitting these associations to or
ganize regional banks, capitalized by
the associations and operated by them
under government supervision. The
purpose of this was to provide re-
gional bank which would perform for
building associations a service SINH
lar to that performed by the Federal
Reserve Bank for the commercial
banks, and by the Federal Land Bank
for the National Farm Loan Associa-
tion.
Owing to the congestion in import
ant legislative matters In the last
Congress it was impossible to obtain
consideration for the Federal Home
Loan aBnk project. The building
and loan association, working in har-
mony with the aims of the Depart
nent of Labor in it's campaign for the
revival of building and construction
activities, now have drafted a tenta-
tive bill which, with such revisions
as may be considered prudent will be
introduced in the next Congress with
the influence of the national and state
organizations of building and loan
associations behind it.

To Submit Bill for Home

Builders
Next Congress to be Asked to
Enact Necessary Leg
islatiOn to Estab-
lish Banks

The next Congress will be asked to
enact legislation necessary to the es-
tablishment of a system of Federal
Home Loan Banks. A tentative bill
has been prepared and has been mail
ed to all officers and committees of
the u. S. League of Building Asso-
Citations.
In its campaign to stimulate build
ing activities the U. S. Department of
Labor, in January, invited represen-
tatives of the U. S. League of Build
ing Associations to a conference in
Washington for discussion of ways
and means Of increasing the useful
ness of the building and loan associa-
tions. It was realized that these as
sociations played an important part
in the home building activities of the
nation and it was the hope of the De-
partment of Labor that their field of
usefulness might be enlarged. Out
Of this conference came the move
ment in favor Of national system of
Home Loan Banks through which
these associations might rediscount
their securities and make available
for further loans greater portion of
their assets.
The chief of the building and loan
associations is lending money to home
builders, Association representatives,
in the Washington conference, sug-
gested that Congress enact a law,

Give the Chicks
a Place to Play

A house for growing chicks which
will give them place to stay at night
and protect them from bad weather
is very necessary if they are to thrive
and make their best development, say
the poultry specialists, Extension Di-
vision. Louisiana State University.
Such house need not be expensive,
but may be constructed of lumber
from piano or dry goods boxes and
covered with ordinary roofing paper.
Care should be taken not ts crowd
the chicks by placing too many in one
house. When chickens cover the
created part Of the floor at night it
is an indication that they should be
thinned out and another house used.
