Coolidge Is Vaccinated
As Smallpox
Precaution

President Coolidge has sub
mitted to vaccination against
smallpox because of the prev
alence of the disease in Wash
ington, it was learned today.
At first White House physi-
clans declined to comment on
the vaccination report, but later
they admitted it was true.
Physicians at the White
House also have inoculated a
number of employees in the ex-
ecutive offices because President
Coolidge comes in contact with
so many people daily it is
understood the doctors advised
him to be vaccinated as a pre-
cautionary measure.

LOAN
PLANS BY
HOOVER
Proposes Corporation Here to
Help U. s. Employees Con-
struct Their Homes

Secretary of Commerce Hoover
today proposed the formation of
second mortgage finance cor
poration in Washington which
will loan money to Government
employees at reasonable interest
rates to build their own homes.
Public spirited citizens in the
District should take the initiative
in forming such a company, ne
believes.
Relief from high rentals could
be obtained by this method of
meeting the local situation.
Favored By Coolidge.
Following conference with
President Coolidge today, Secretary
Hoover, although not planning to
take any active part in solving the
local rent problem, said he was
strongly in favor of reducing inter.
est rates on second mortgage loans
for the benefit of Government EN-
ployes who want to own their own
homes.
A second mortgage company
planned along this line has been
operating in Detroit for the past
five years, Secretary Hoover said,
and has been very successful
He believes that public spirited
bankers and business men in Wash
ington could go far toward solving
the local rent problem by furnish
ing the capital for such a corpora
tion.
$2,OO0,OO0 is Needed
The capital for the company
would not have to be more than
81 900, 900, Secretary Hoover point
ed out.
1t could issue securities which
would make the money available for
second mrotgage loans many times
the amount of it's original capital.
This plan is similar to that sug
gested by former Senator Ball, and
has the support of President Cool
idge as one method of meeting the
local housing issue.
Secretary Hoover probably will
confer with former Senator Ball in
the near future, but no definite
engagement has yet been made
The initiative in further develop
ment in respect to the plan will be
left to Rent Commiss Toner Ball and
it is understood that local business
and banking interests will be called
upon in the near future to make
suggestions and to offer their help.
There is an opinion in official
circles that some of the rates now
being charged are too high.
