KELLoGG'S EARLY HOURS
HARDSHIP TO HIS STAFF

LONDON. Feb. 16.-Ambassador
Kellogg has smashed at least one
precedent since he arrived in Lon.
don. He has broken all rules for
diplomatic office hours and there
by caused some grief.
The ambassador is at his desk
at 9 o'clock each morning; and, of
course, when he is at work the
rest Of the staff is expected to be
also. This is, indeed, blow, be-
cause 9 o'clock in the morning is
practically the middle Of the night
for London, where only factory
workers and manual laborers are
expected to be at their work before
10 o'clock.
Adding to the grief is the fact
that the ambassador takes only an
hour for lunch, thereby setting an.
other example. It is the general
practice for diplomats and their
suites to take from two to four
hours for luncheon and tetes.a-tete
and perhaps quiet snooze.

1T is estimated that January out

THE sales outlook is distinctly

effect on sales and has kept de-

Increased operations are ap-

In all real estate financing the
initial process is identical. The
mortgage is executed for the amount
Of the loan, and the underwriting
company either holds the mortgage
to maturity or deposits it as secur.
ity for a bond issue. The bond
holder, therefore, has not direct
interest in the property, but in the
mortgage of which 1t represents a
fractional part.

There has been some criticism Of
the liberal valuations placed or
buildings by underwriters of mort
gage bonds, and the large percentage
of valuation represented by the
mortgage. Should building values
take a slump, It Is contended, the
bonds will have an unstable stand

largely obviated by the heavy
amortization features of real estate
bond issues, which require the pay

quarters in the New Masonic TEN.
ple late yesterday afternoon declared
themselves in favor OF holding the

However, inasmuch as Washing

expense several months ago as a
result of a banquet held by the

was deemed advisable by the coun'
cil TO leave the matter entirely up
to the institutions. Therefore no
action was taken in the matter. The
council itself favors holding the
function, but wishes to take no ac'
ton until the desires of the various
members Of the association can be
Ascertained.
