side property lines; fianking the porch

walks and driveways, and sometimes
to screen outbuildings and other un-
desirable views. Group paintings are
better than scattered individuals; let
the bushes be from one to five feet
apart, center to center, according TO
size.
Use several of one kind rather than
one or two each of different sorts,
thus avoiding hit-or-miss effects
Place the taller ones toward the back
and grade down toward the front
Work for a suggestion of privacy
rather than a complete shutting off
OF the house from the street Unob-
structed lawn space in front of the
house Is almost always to be desired.
Hydrangeas, bays and other orna-
mental shrubs in dark green painted
tubs are good at either side, of the
entrance. For edging walks and
drive, very small cedars, privet or
lockwood, If available. are excellent.
Set them from four 10 six inches
apart. Broken or unsightly limbs on
existing trees or shrubs may be
safely cut off in the fall, and their
stumpS painted.
Flower beds should be kept chiefly
at the sides and rear of property
avoid a mass of blossoms in the mid
die of the front lawn. Because they
do not give a year round effect, flow
ers are less desirable than shrubs for

Glaring reds should be avoided; blues,

advice you can and watch every step
First of ali what you buy is the site
and the improvements on it. If d
building and loan association or d
bank loans you money on the prop
efty at has direct financial interest
Id hsfping you guard yourself on GER
tain points, such as making sure
there are no old mortgages, no un-
paid taxes or bills for building ma
terial or other claims upon the prop
erty.
Be certain your title is clear or
have it insured or guaranteed. Learn
of any easements. such as the right
OF a telephone company to place its
poles upon your lot.
If you make a purchase offer with
cash deposit include a statement
as to whether window shades, stoves

Your offer should he dependent
upon your obtaining a satisfactory
loan to finance the proposition and
the ability of the owners to furnish
papers to show good marke table
title, free from liens or other en-
cumbrances. In other words do not
bind yourself to the purchase until
you are sure of what you are paying
for and that you can finance it,
Payments TO BE Made.
You must be prepared to pay taxes
upon your property and special as
seSSments for installation of water
sewage, electric light, gas. or other
public utilities, or street paving or
sidewalks. Note what improvements
are already made and what additional
ones you may have to pay for
In buying Il house and lot you must

borrow what YOU cannot pay in cash.
Remember that the more risks you
assume the fewer the lender will
have to charge you for. Your
promise to pay back will be secured
by a mortgage or trust on the prop
erty. A first mortgage loan on not
over one-half or two-thirds the value
OF the property Is a very safe invest
ment and the rates of interest should
be low. The lender on a second mort
gage takes more risk and rates of
interest and discounts are higher. If
you, agree to buy a home without the
title passing to you at once, the seller
takes less risk and you may save
money.
Associations for People.
There are building and loan asso-
Citations throughout the country,
usually organized to serve the needs
of people like yourself who wish to
finance home. Their plan or weekly
or monthly payments, both on princi-
pal and for interest, has proved sound
from the experience of millions of
people as an aid to systematic saw
ing. Loans may often be obtained
from savings banks, trust companies,
state banks, individuals and trustees
for estates.
Obtaining money on a second mort
gage is usually not SO easy. Re-
member that when the owner of a
house takes a second mortgage in
payment he may plan to sell 1t for
four fifths or less of it's face value
and that he probably charges you ac-
cordingly.
Above all, when you start to save
for a home do not throw your money
into glittering schemes that promise
big dividends and the chance to bor-
row money at 3 per cent or less. The
concerns behind such schemes cannot
be trusted.

HOOVER PLAN TO HOLD
UP BUILDING BACKED

Herbert Hoover's advice in regard
to deferment of public construction
as one way to hold on to prosperity
bears on a matter of public policy of
interest to members of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
This deferment of public construc-
tion Is more important now than
ever" the Secretary of Commerce
says, "for we need the full use of
labor and material for long overdue
private construction"
Deferment of all new building
construction and curtailment of
financing of all speculative building
until after the close of summer were
recommended at conference of rep
resentatives of every branch of the
building industry called in New York
this week by the American Construc-
tion Council.
