Ted Shawn. who has improved his
art remarkably in the last five years,
interpreted dances with a finesse
and understanding which caused
the audience to insist on an encore

The two great dancers reached
the peak of their performance in
some duet numbers, particularly In
Toilers Of the Soil, in which the
slow, tragic meaning was conveyed
with great understanding.
A symphonic quartet. headed by

THINK FERGUSON WILL BACK
EARLE MAYFIELD CANDIDACY

Is at work on his platform and
that when he turns loose his an
nouncement he will release the
planks on which he will base his
candidacy.
There are many in political
circles. who recalling former Gov.
Ferguson'S advocacy OF the re-
election of Senator Mayfield in
the run-off last year believe that
Ferguson Is planning to espouse
Mayfield'S candidacy.
They believe that Ferguson's
statement OF recent release in
which he gave out a tentative
platform for use -l the event he
should become a candidate (strong-
" limiting that he might make
the race) was for the purpose Of
working up interest among his
followers so he could more easily
deliver them TO someone Of his
choosing.
Hints Dark Horse"
Ferguson h repeatedly said
that the next governor of Texas"

eight who are avowed candidates:

Senter, Dallas; Thomas b. Love,
Dallas; Miss Katie Daffan, Ennis:
Barry Miller, Dallas; r. ~. Maur-
liz, Ganado; VI. Gregory Hatcher.

In the event Gov. Moody does
not definitely decide to become a
candidate for q third term, either
r. S. Sterling Of Houston, chair
man Of the state Highway Com
mission, or Attorney General r.
L. Boboitt, is certain to get into
the field.

I'VE ask y-u to vote for Earle

the card which has been pretty
generally disseminated.
Continuing, 1t reads:
He is the ablest and best in

any man in the race.
He knows more about economics
and transportation and their rel

public.
He never advocated or voted for
anything that was not for the

He is a gentleman, a worthy

He is the only logical solution
for taking the taxes off our homes,

VARIED MORTGAGE
LAWS ARE COSTLY
Diversity Delays Rapid Mar.
keting of Negotiable Paper,
Counsel Says.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. August 81. - Diverse
mortgage laws that delay the rapid
marketing of mortgages in interstate
transactions cost large investors mil
lions OF dollars a year, according to
Gen. F NJ. Bass of Nashville, Tenn,
counsel of the Mortgage Bankers Asso-
citation of America, who will urge ad-
vantages Of uniform law before the
coming convention of the association
in New Orleans, october 90 to 81.
With mortgage laws different in
every State in the Union, from the
actual wording Of the documents to
the methods of foreclosure, organiza-
tons such as large insurance companies
that buys mortgages amounting to a
million dollars a day must maintain
legal STATS to examine the papers in
each transaction and see that they
check with the laws in the State from
which they emanatc, Gen. Bass points
out.
Work Is Tremendous.
With probably $50 insurance COM
panies buying mortgages in block lots
in 46 States every day in the year
not counting other large investors that
purchase mortgage paper daily, the
work of complying with the provisions
OF 48 State laws has assumed tremen-
duous proportions, says the association
attorney. Insurance companies alone
now hold over $4,000, 100000 in mort
cages.
In other words, a mortgage in Ari-
IONA Is made and handled under
entirely different circumstances than
a mortgage in New York and the two
when brought together would hardly
recognize themselves as cousins, he
declares.
THE work done by large mortgage
buyers In preparing, copying. examin-
ing and transferring alone is figured
at an estimated $1,000 900 a year which
could be saved to purchasers If a uni
form law existed and If shorter and
less cumbersome forms were adopted
in the various States" says Gen. Bass
I'm the matter of foreclosure clauses
alone the State laws provide for re-
demptions in case OF default at from
few days to several years.
These items may seem small in
the case of one mortgage, but, multi
piled hundreds of thousands of times.
are running into the salaries of at
torneyS, accountants and clerks that
might be saved to a large extent
through greater uniformity.
The present situation stems the easy
flow of money between States which
is necessary II mortgages are to COM,
pete with other readily negotiable
securities. We know the present
variations in the mortgage laws are
costing large investors millions of dol
lars year: but we have no record of
what this situation is costing the mort
gage banker in business he does not
get"
The bankers convention will discuss
uniform mortgage law which has
already been drafted by the American
Bar Association and will consider
whether this or any other uniform
draft is feasible for adoption by the
various States.

IS LATEST MOTIF
Buildings Must Contain Every
Adequate Facility, Says
Chicagoan.

major improvements in the future
are going to be larger and larger and
taller and taller" says j. Soule Water
field of Chicago. But in not many
years no major improvement will be
profitable that has not been made so
as to take care Of traffic and garage
problems"
THE adequate building of the years
now coming will have to provide COM
plete service within the improvement
itself, taking into consideration the So
cial and recreational as we'll as busi-
ness requirements of the tenants and
their clients" he declared recently in
an address at the annual convention OF
the National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
In the great cities and even in cities
Of the $4,000 population class the task
OF putting up an adequate improvement
on downtown real estate is so huge an
undertaking that the majority of major
Improvements must be promoted, A.
nanced and built largely by syndicated
building corporations rather than by
individual owners. Mr.. Waterf1eld held.
In the past IS years only II sky
scraperS In the Chicago Loop have been
built by estates and private individuals.
which is an average Of less than one
every two years. In this same time
ana territory only IL have been built by
banks, 10 by clubs and IA. other than
department and retail stores, by cor
porations for their own or partially
their own occupancy.
I'm New York City and other metro
politan centers these comparisons are
even more startlingly true. Unim-
proved and inadequately improved
properties in a great majority of cases
are owned by private individuals or by
estates. The average private individ-
ual. even If he has the cash or Dor
rowing power. hesitates to put all his
eggs in one basket for an improvement
Of such magnitude as present conditions
make necessary"
