Stabler Also Warned.


| Walter Stabler, controller of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co,
| which is one Of the leading lenders on
| real estate, issued a similar warning
| year ago.
And Richard Hurd, conservative
resident of the Lawyers Mortgage
/ 60, began to urge caution as early
as 1922.
Until recently there have been
great inducements to build at an alb
normally active pace. Leaders of the
industry, feeling that the war time
shortages have been made up, are
now seeking to prevent overproduc-
ion. Talking win have only a SEN
tlnental effect, but the accompanying
leclslon Of the lenders to tighten IN in
| the matter Of making loans can keen
the situation under control.
Secretary Mellon does not believe
that the country as a whole has
caught up on its building program.

titles have. MIR. Straus urges the
continuance of the construction of
small homes, and forecasts considera-
bic construction activity by public

plaintiffs assert that Hiram r. Mallin-
son, president, and Z. Irving Hanson,
vice president, who get annual sal
aries of $125,0 and $85, 900 a year,
respectively, are overpaid and sug-
gest that their compensation be cut
to $4,000 and $40 600, respectively
It is difficult to fix salaries for execu-
tiyes. Sometimes a new busiess lead
er can by good management turn a
corporation from a failure to an over
whelning success. Walter Chrysler re-
Gently perc,rmed that feat in rebuild
ing the emaciated Maxwell and ChaI-
ners companies into the Chrysler Mo
tor Car Co. The newer method Of
compromising chief executives is to
give them a share in the profits which
they help to create.
Perhaps one question which the po-
litical economists of the country have
not worried about is whether gold
diggers are thrifty. Apparently they
are. J. j. Roberts, controller Of the
Chelsea Exchange Bank Of New York

Alongside Of current record-break

greater saving than ever before. For

was written than ever before in the
history Of the cOuntry-6 per cent
more than the 1925 peak. Life insur-
