AMORTIZATION OF
REALTY MORTGAGES
S. w. Straus Says This
Plan Will Greatly Improve
Building Conditions.

In 4 review of the building situation
s. W. Straus OF 8. w. Straus & Co says
the most hopeful and significant feature
lies in the widespread movement now in
progress for the amortization OF realty
mortgages.
Labor disturbance, unstable prices
and monetary conditions are the three
elements that are holding back the
building industry at the present time,
says Mr.. Straus. Building shortage is
becoming more acute throughout the
country and there Is steady increase
in rentals. The general adoption of the
amortized real estate mortgage will
greatly improve conditions and place
the building industry on a stronger
foundation than ever before.
1.-THE tightness of the present situation
Is sufficient proof. II others are lacking,
OF the imperfections Of the system which
has been in general use. At the present
time, so IL Is stated OH trustworthy au-

"A loan cannot be amortized unless
the property itself produces sufficient
income. Thus 1t is extremely important
that the mortgage contain a provision
compelling the borrower to apply this
income as fast as collected to the pay
ment OF debt For instance, IL the
amortization charge on "A loan Is $4,000
a year. and the rents from the property
are collected monthly, the borrower
should be required to deduct 81 900 each
month from his rents and deposit
with the lender. This assures the
prompt payment of the amortization
charge and prevents the diversion of the
rentals to other uses, which is one OF the
chic. causes of the non-payment of in
terest and principal when due.

secured by amortized realty mortgages,

Tennessee In
For Thrift Drive

NASHVILLE, May 26.-The rural
communities of Tennessee will do
their part in supporting the 1919
Thirst Campaign, the ultimate OBJ
jective of which is to bring happiness
and prosperity to every home.
At recent meeting of the Home
Economics Agents of Tennessee of
which Miss Virginia Moore is director,
DR.. Roswell Rogers, of Atlanta, of
the raw Savings Division of the War
Loan Organization, addressed the as
sembly and much interest was mani
tested towards this great movement,
the success of which will mean happi-
ness and independence for every com
munity. As a result of the meeting
500 packages of War Savings litera-
ture was sent to every county in Ten
nessee in preparation of the organi-
zation of War Savings societies in
the rural communities.
Prof. c. A. Ketfcr, of the Univer-
sity of Tennessee, who is the director
of farm demonstration work in this
state, has offered his cooperation and
support in the organization of Say
ings societies among the farmers and
other community clubs. such as the
Boys Corn and Pig clubs.
The purpose of these societies is to
popularize war taught Thrift and to
promote wise spending, avoidance of
waste, intelligent saving, and safe in
vestment in Thrift Stamps and War
Savings Stamps, Saving has ceased
to be dry problem of economics, but
is most vital step towards the per-
sonal success and independence of
anyone.
War Savings Stamps will mean
ready cash when the farmer wants
to buy a new kind of seed next spring,
when the Corn club boys and the Pig
club boys want a little Christmas
money, or when the Canning club
girls want a new dress. They are
always redeemable for not only what
was paid for them, but also the in
terest that has accrued on them up
to date.

Both men are in perfect health. To

Some 1000 miles out from New
foundland and 800 from the Irish
coast, on Monday, May 10, the avia-
tors making the best of an engine
which was failing to function prop
erly, were forced to alight on the
water. The little Danish steamer
Mary, bound for Aarhuus, Denmark,
picked the wayfarers up and contin-
ued on her northward voyage.
Lacking a wireless outfit, the cap
tain of the steamer was compelled to
withhold the good tidings of the res
cue until he was opposite Butt Of
Lewis, where the information was
signalled by means of flags that Haw-
ker and Grieve were aboard his ship.
Immediately word was flashed to
the British admiralty, which sent out
destroyers to overtake the Danish
vessel and obtain information. This
was done and one of the destroyers
took the airmen off, and later trans
ferred them to the flagship Revenge.
From this safe haven Hawker sent
a message tonight that his machine
had stopped owing to the blocking of
the water circulation system.
When the airplane sped away from
her starting point Pilot Hawker let
loose his wheels and undergearing,
thereby tightening the weight of the
machine by a considerable amount,
but making possible landing on the
soil of Ireland a more hazardous ven-
ture. This, however, probably proved
of much advantage when it became
necessary to alight on the surface of
the water. The airplane remained
afoat without difficulty during the
hour and half it took the Danish
steamer to come up and effect res
cue.
All England is stirred by the news
of the safety of the two stout-hearted
avaitors, but owing to the difficulties
of communication some time must
pass before the full details of one of
the most remarkable voyages ever un-
dertaken are known.
