Mobilization of Banking Machinery
To Draw Out Peoples Money Would
SS Help Alleviate Housing Shortage

duty. Just as they put them to win
the war in Liberty bonds.
The machinery for turning the
peoples savings in home-loan bonds
consists of the State Land Bank.
the savings and loan associations
and the private bond and mortgage
companies organized and In opera
tion under direction OF bankers of
the first class, usually connected
with title insurance or banking or
ganizations. while some parts of
this machinery have been conducted
entirely as private Investment in
stitutions, they all could be united
for the new patriotic home-loan and
bond drive by means of a general
public committee established under
the auspices Of city. county or State
to take charge of the drive to call
on the masses for the purchase of
home-1oan bonds. to indorse or
vouch for the substantial and re-
liable character of the movement,
and to apportion subscriptions for
the home-loan bonds among the
concerns or organizations best
adapted for handling the money
The main force of this central
committee would be to coordinate
the movement and to convince in
vestors of it's responsible, public
spirited character.
The savings banks would not be
barred from participation. but they
do not want to pay depositors more
than per cent. although they
charge per cent or more for their
mortgage loans. This would seem
to bar them OF their own choice un-
less they could lay aside their
profits temporarily on such loans
for the sake of the patriotic effort
to restore housing to normal.
Would start Big Boom.
This great home-loan bond drive
naturally would start an immense
boom in the construction of small
suburban dwellings-the very best
development possible from the view
point of better homes for city
masses. But it would not shut out
builders of big apartment struc-
lures. The home-loan bond drive
could be directed also at those in
vestors who could see a patriotic
duty in promoting the building of
such city homes and the subscrip-
tions for such investments could be
have been making a specially Of
such operations. 4
From conversations among inter-
ested parties 1t is evident that the
newspapers, the private lending
concerns. the loan associations, the
State banking department officers,
the builders. the material men, the
land syndicates, the suburban pro-
noting companies and almost every
one else would join enthusiastically
to help such home-loan bond drive
Perhaps the labor unions might try
to block real building by a deter
mination to exact the highest war
union wages, but a survey seems to
show plenty of outside idle labor
which could be found to do the
work.
With this means for ending the
housing crisis waiting in such sim
pie and ready fern. the only ques-
tion Is: Do the people really want
more homes and will they make the
small exertion required to secure
them?

Drain the Vacuum Tank.

At fixed intervals open the drsin
cock at the bottom OF the vacuum
tank. Usually a few drops OF water
and rust flow before the gasoline
starts running. The fact that IL
often will not flow until a wire g.
run through the drain cock. shows
there is foreign matter which MAY
cause carburetion trouble.

Watch the Headlight Glasses.

Some of the light diffusers or de-
vices designed to re-direct the rays
of light. are designed to be effective
only when in a certain fixed posi-
tion. Vibration may so loosen the
glass in the rim that the glass will
be permitted to creep around in
which case the whole scheme fails.
Not all headlights have means for
anchoring the glass permanently, so
1t is matter for the owners atten-
tion to see that the glasses are prop
erly fastened in place. II screws
are used. it might do to insert a
lock washer under each one.

called latch or tripper, to which a
short spring is attached. When the
latch becomes worn to an extent the
system may fail. 1t is suggested
that owners carry along q spare

move and replace a latch and since

Solder in the Gas Tank.

If you should have fuel feed
trouble which you cannot locate. re-
move the gasoline tank and Shake
it. In four out of five cars fitted
with cheap tanks there always arc
a few pieces of solder on the in
side of the tank. These pieces
work their way to the place over
the feed line and prevent the proper
flow OF fuel. There is only one
way and that is to shake them out.

Ammonia and the Finish.

some car owners are using am
monia solution to brighten up the
hood when the latter had become
dull. This is bad practice, though
the immediate results seem to be
good. Ammonia destroys the finish
and should not be used. in fact body
makers, and varnish concerns, give
strict instructions to keep the car
away from stables and barns so that
the ammonia from the manure will
not injure the body finish.

various other organisations. Argu-
ment in favor Of the appropriation
centralized on the plea. that forty
three legislatures were in session.
and that unless the Federal govern
ment supplied additional money at
once the road program in many
States would be retarded.
Information presented to the Sem
ate indicated that on December 81,
1920, only s1I7.00o.0o0 of Federal
aid money remained unallotted, but
that by July next this amount
would be entirely covered by the
States. Those opposing dwelt upon
the fact that of the s275.000, 900
total nearly s22o.000,00o still re-
mained in the United States Treas
ury November 30. 1920. The facts
also disclosed that only $47.0o0.000
had been paid out. although other
contracts had been completed and
not paid for.
Many Senator'S took the stand
that as long as the bulk of the
money still remained in the Treas
ury that the road building program
of the country would not be Sc
riously interfered with by delay
ing consideration of good roads un-
til the next Congress convenes.
Summarizes situation.
Commenting upon the situation,
Chairman George c. Diehl Of the
A. A. A. good roads board. thus
summarizes the matter:
Apparently instead OF the States
waiting to see what Congress is 60
ing to do, Congress now proposes
to wait and see what the States are
going to do, especially the seven
teen States which are depending
largely upon their counties to raise
money to enable them to cooperate
with the Federal government in
building roads. 1t Is high time that
these States which have failed to
function as States should wipe out
their paper highway departments
and provide some real money with
which to build real roads, utilizing
advantageously whatever aid may
come from the Federal government,
either in the form of entire cost
and subsequent maintenance of in-
terstate highways. or an amplify-
ing of the present half and half ar
rangement."
