paying construction costs are set
forth as the two most imminent
needs
Profteering i'm Mortgages.
Senator King has declared that
profiteering in mortgages on new
homes mad done more to prevent re-
sumption Of building than any one
other thing
There are real estate companies
i'm which the directorships are the
same as i'm affiliated construction
companies. said King The mort
gage given by the real estate com
pany TO cover the construction COM
pany's costs is many times as much
as 100 per cent more than its true
value These inflated mort cages are
discounted. the contractors and pro-
meters split their profits and the
man who gets the mortgage Is
caught He can never realize on the
paper nc holds. In many Instances |
have personally found that the inter
est and discount on these mort cages
amount toe 80 per cent of the physi-
cal cost OF construction. In other
words, a building which can be
erected for $4,000 has mortgages
on it for $1,000. Eventually the
man holding the second mortgage
finds his paper wort only half as
much as its face value"
King declared that q movement
was under way to organize second
mortgage companies for handing
building paper for people desiring TO
build their own homes. Such COM
panies, he adds, would need fed
eral laws TO protect them. 1t is for
this purpose the tenants bloc" is

HERE'S A HUGE STATUE

in "Above All Law"

A statue of Buddha so huge that a
man can safely walk to and fro upon
its eyclid, and which is set in n niche
in a wall built to corresponding pro-
portions, should give one a fair idea
of the immensely of the settings of
the Paramount picture, above All
Law" which comes to the Strand
Theatre today. This statue is so
constructed that a. first it produces
an odd effect. When first seen, it ap-
pears to be a tiny mode! filmed as
closeup. Then moved closer to re-
veal this as a man. and thus is re-
vealed the magnitude of the statue.
There are many other settings
quite in keeping with this; temples
mosques. a reproduction of the
famous Tai Mahal, vast animal pits
packed with hunger crazcd tigers,
and scores Of other bewildcring
scenes. The picture. which was
woven into it a dramatic story of an
Indian princes vengeance and Of how
1T rcbounded and wrcakcd its fury
upon him. is said to he one of the
most massive productions of the
