RUSSIAN PRISONERS
DON'T KNOW HOMES

BERLIN. June 2S.-One Of the
great tragedies of tragic Europe is
| the Russian prisoner.
Thousand Of these men, many of
them incarcerated four years, still
remain in German prison camps, and
perhaps as sad as any phase Of their
plight is the fact that many OF them
will never see home again, for the
simple reason that they do not know
the name Of their home town.
The American Red Cross prisoner
service here. now in charge Of Colonel
Ryan and Col. Carl Taylor, IS doing
it's utmost to help locate homes Of
these men. But theirs is a difficult
ask, for when many Of them are
asked where they lived, they answer:
.'By the big red MILL" or perhaps,
"Ey the white river" or Near the
church on the hill"
These men simply do not know.
They have lived for years in some
hamlet, have never learned to read
nor write, and have never been more
than few miles away from their own
dwellings. The Red Cross is striving
to introduce some rudiments of
geography among the more enlight-
red prisoners in the hope that there
by they can be of assistance in solv-
ing the intricate problem Of their
cOmpatriOts.
1t is no little work that the Red
Cross has set its hand to accomplish.
1t is not merely a question of ship
ping these men home, for the ways
are not open. Poland is fearful that
they will join the bOlsheviki army
when they return, and hence doesn't
want them to pass through Polish
territory. And, il they go further
south, there is trouble from other
populations. So thus far it has been
possible only to take northern
route for returning the Great Rus
SLAMS"
A few days ago a group of 900
sought permission to set out to walk
home, saying, they would take the
responsibility for their fate upon
themselves. And, some of them have
actually attempted to make their way
homes afoot.

alton taking a second mortgage for
the difference between the loan and
the cost Of the dwelling. the second
mortgage to be paid in monthly in
stallments; second. loan from a loan
association secured by a first mort
gage, payable in installments,o on which
the company would take a second
mortgage payable at the end Of
term of years and maturing when the
first mortgage is sufficiently reduced
to absorb the second mortgage; third,
a loan for the full value Of the build
ing, the borrower giving back first
mortgage for an amount which would
render it marketable at once. this
mortgage being payable at the end
Of a term Of years, the balance of
the loan being secured by a second
mortgage, payable by monthly install
ments.
Under any of these principles the
corporation would take up the differ
ence between the first mortgage and
the cost Of the dwelling. 1t was
recommended that the capital stock of
the corporation would be S25o,o0O, all
of which would be common stock, with
q par value of 500 a share.
A plan that has been tested a num-
Der Of years is that of the Billerica
Garden Suburb Unc-), of Massachu-
sets, incorporated in June, 1914, with
a capital stock of $4,000. The scope
of this company included the building
Of desirable homes at a moderate cost
or rental. the purchase of real estate,
the remodeling and repairing of
dwellings, and the management of
houses or other buildings. The 5000
shares of common stock at SO a share
were issued in small blocks, provision
being made for dividends at the rate
of per cent per annum, accumulative
on all shares outstanding at the time.
The property, affairs, and business of
the corporation are managed by a
board Of directors.

METHODS Used TO
FINANCE BUILDING

In the nationwide own-your-own-
home campaign, conducted in Coop
Grafton with the U. S. Homes Regis
tration Service, Department Of Labor.
the problem Of how best to finance
building operations has been solved
somewhat differently by various cit
les, according to their special needs.
A few weeks before the armistice
was signed the Columbia Investment
and Mortgage Company was organ
lied in Seattle, Wash, to aid the
small investor and to make possible
the proper housing of workers en-
gagged in war industries. Its scope
included the buying, leasing, and &C
curing OF real estate and personal
property, the erection Of dwellings
and other buildings, and the making
Of improvements of any kind on its
properties.
The corporation Is enabled to ad-
vance to owners of vacant lots the
difference between the cost of the
house and the amount of money that
could be loaned by insurance COM
panies or other loaning agencies
The capital stock is 100000, divided
into 1000 shares of 800 each. The
company was organized as a pa
triotic and civic duty, and arrange
ments were made with the Metropoli-
tan Building Company to manage the
affairs Of the new organization,
which is represented by fifteen trus-
tees.
st. Paul, Mimi, worked out a plan
for the organization Of the Own Your
Home Financing Corporation, the OBJ
ject of which is "to assist wage earn
ers to the ownership OF their homes
and to that end to advance to them
not to exceed so per cent Of the value
Of the property" on which a loan is
made such advances to be repaid in
monthly or other installments ano to
be secured either by mortgages, land
contracts or obligations and evil

tects all over the country are very
busy. There is a scarcity of drafts
men and those available are asking
greatly increased remuneration. Ac-
cording to the same publication,
building is going ahead briskly in
all sections. There is not only a large
amount of planning for low cost
houses, but actual work has started
on many factories, stores and other
types OF commercial construction. All
this activity is reflected in a greater
demand for building material. Lum-
Der is moving from the yards to regu-
lar trade channels in exceptionally
heavy volume, and with an acute
scarcity of stocks manufacturers and
dealers are experiencing difficulty in
replenishing supplies to meet the de-
mand. All lumber is holding firm in
price, with advances during the week
in the wholesale values of yellow
pine, hemIock, fir, cypress and some
of the hardwoods.
Brick and all clay products are in
good demand. The sane is true Of
the metal building material items, es-

Improvement in business. They say

the former policy of waiting for lower
prices has changed to one of buying
at present quotations. and there are
few who now cling to the belief that
reconstruction will go ahead on a
lower price basis. Financiers and the
heads of big corporations now see
nothing but activity ahead, with a
building movement likely to develop
into a boom following the signing of
the peace treaty"

walton and Interrogation concerning

such roles interesting; how ] can

the stage, ana many similar questions.
But of them all one OF the most inter-
esting comments has come to me this

you have created on the stage has not
only been very different from that OF
her predecessor, but in each case 1t has

the comment made to me.
It is not my personal belief that a
woman's walk is the most expressive
thing about her for nothing could tell
quite so much as the quality and In
