The bathroom is considerably larger
than one generally finds in small houses
and has tile floor and wainscoting
four feet high. The attic is reached

"The savings and loan mortgage can.
not be called. 1t runs until 1t is paid
up, and the borrower can sell at a
profit any time, safeguarding the obli.
cations he has incurred to the associa-
tion. In the case of the plumber, he
first pays his interest on the $3,50O
Sl75o each month, Then he pays $17.5C
on account of his. mortgage and as
much more as he desires. This money
that he pays on account of principal
earns dividends at the rate of 5 per
cent. He can cut down his principal
whenever, he has 500 accumulated on
it,. which, of course, reduces the inter

Savings andLoan
Helps Mac to Get
Out OF Tenth Ave,
Left Railroad" Flat i'm Re-
pressive Section for Own
House ON Staten Island
veral Weeks Ago

"Many interesting and true stories
can be written around the majority Of
the mortgage loans made to home
owners by savings and loan associa-
tions," said Archibald w. McEwan, sec
retary of the leagues Of these associa-
tons, yesterday. 'The sacrifices, the
final achievement, are often remark
able, showing q spirit of indomitable
courage and persistency. There Is
Mac to give one example that came
under my observation the other day.
He is plumber with wife and four
west Of Tenth Avenue, in the forties.
"A little more than two years ago
he was directed TO savings and loan
association and began saving his money
there. Buying home was furthes st
from his thoughts. AS he expressed it,
he believed none but moneyed people
could buy homes. Through his visits
TO the association he became acquainted
with the officers, and the drift natural
iy turned to homecoming, where all
the savings of the depositors is lent.
Gets Lots at Bargain
ut happened that he was offered two
lots, on Staten Island by friend who
ths,i NEEDED M money s9go urgently, and bought
the association and inquired whether
there was any prospect of getting a
mouse built. He was told, unoffciaily,
to 60 ahead, spend his own money
| S1,20O-and that in some manner the
door. would be opened so that he could
finally put the key in his own door.
Well, Mac went to work. He and
ms brether-in-law took the Staten
Island boat every afternoon after
WORKING. hours and built cellar, stay
ing until darkness set in. The cellar
was dug out, even some of the frame
work set up. Finally, he could go no
further. He applied to the ASSOCIATE dn
for money to finish his home. The
usual investigation was, made as to
values and also an appraisement made
of the man himself. A good character
counts for at least 10 per cent in the
average association, and he was lent
$4,000 on first mortgage to complete
the house. The last payment of $3.50
was made the other day.
"The plulaber is now living in his
own home. He moved in September /
to escape another months rent, al
though there were several little things
TO finish up before Jack Frost arrives.
Thus the wife and children are now out

them moving from the sidewalk in

something serious might happen to
them on the street.
Has House for Normal Figure
"The >point / wish to emphasize ia
| this: This man, like thousands of
others, would not have been able to
get his real home in any other manner.
Even If he had had little more money

paid for his loan. In this case he paid
