Variety Of Shots.
A course ranging from IS yards

wider range of sport for the aver

The average player would find USE

of more than three clubs. For many
players $50 yards to 200 is a bras

Ever since 1 took up the most

long driver merely a drive and a
half mashie shot Other long holes
suffer in proportion. but the one
shot hole is affected only by wind,
and If properly designed this will
not help one player more than an
other.
For practice also the one-shot
hole is perfect. At most, three clubs
are required and the golfer who is
an expert in their use will not ind

a years play. Then there is the
question of spare ground. Many

not encouraged clients to under

Proposes State Underwrite Liberal
Mortgages to Help Overcome Home
Shortage-Private Loans Too Small

Declaring that all past efforts to
solve the housing problem in New
York State have failed, E. Osborne
Smith, a broker, proposes that the
State be enabled by legislation to
underWrite liberal mortgages under
proper safeguards. This, he says,
will start a new building boom. In
outlining his proposition, Mr.. Smith
says:
Homes must be built, and built
at once to provide for the present
and growing need of the people of
this great city; the building indus
try has been stopped by war and
other agencies for meeting the nor.
NAL demand for buildings, and
way must be found to take UP this
work IL we are to have a healthful
and prosperous city. The laws
passed by the Legislature this year
did nothing to encourage building
and the law exempting new build
iEgs from taxation, which was de-
Vised to encourage building, has
done nothing in providing homes, as
the law is obviously unjust and
from good authority is unconstitu-
tional.
IF an emergency exists and II the
State can exempt buildings from
taxation it can provide a fund
whereby the State would guarantee
the loaning institutions money in
vested on first mortgages, which
first mortgages should be liberal
building and permanent loans hav-
long period to run and said mort
cages to be amortized at high rate
for the first five years while build
ing costs and rents are high and
decrease thereafter. This could be
worked out so that first mortgages,
although literally loaned today
when building costs are high, would
be first class security.
"a practical plan could be devised
to take care Of this point. Only
the rich builder can build today.
as loans made for new buildings
are not liberal enough. There is
too large a margin between the
present cost of building and the
amount of. loans offered for any
body but a rich builder to, under
take to build. Give the builder with
limited capital a chance and YOU
will soon see a change in the hous-
ing problem. ...

Imports Greek Temple.

On the grounds OF a large estate
in Pittsburgh, Pa. there stand the
ruins OF an ancient Greek temple,
which the owner had brought over
from Greece and set up exactly as
they were found in their original
location. To the ruins has been
shrubbery. and a lake dotted with
pond lilies, such as might have been
the setting in ancient days. The
owner employed an architect to
make. plans. of the temple before Il
was taken down and shipped, and
Ito sketch out a setting for it on his
estate. The effect is very striking
and draws thousands Of visitors.

supervision the location could be
passed on as to the kind OF i'm
provement contemplated before the
loan was made. In the hands of
competent men a larger percentage
of the cost Of building could be
safely loaned, providing the loca-
tion and the kind Of Improvement
was carefully selected. A commit
tee of experienced real estate men
to pass on the class of Improvement
and the location would be an ad-
ditional safeguard.
The idea is to get the small
builder building again. which he
cannot do under the inadequate
loans offered by the loaning insti-
tutions at the present time. Make
the mortgage liberal and let the
State guarantee or underwrite the
mortgage. Under proper safe
guards this can be done without
loss to the State and it will start
