BUILDING LOAN
PRAISED BY
FORBES
BY B. c. FORBES

OMAHA. Neb.. March 2O.-
Bankers in many parts of the
country are paying the penalty
for having held themselves rather
aioof from the ordinary folks.
The ordinary folks have re-
taliated by getting together and
doing their own banking--hand-
ling their own savings and max
ing their own investments, through
building and loan associations.
The three largest associations
In Omaha have assets equal to
the combined deposits OF the
three largest national banks. And
the city hasn't one savings bank.
Building Loans
In the suburb where | live near
New York, and in the neighboring
suburbs, have been hearing lately
far more than IN former years
about building and loan associa'
bankiI1g-and that Is what 1t is
will grow and grow among the
people and that 1t will effect the
growth of other banking?
What is happening here. and
what it Is doing in the way of
multiplying home ownership de-
serves thoughtful attention as a
phase of Americas social, finan.
cial. economic evolution.
In Omaha So of every 100
homes are owned by those living
in them. This is claimed to be "a
record for any city Of comparable
size-the population is approx
mately 225.00O.
Few Failures
In 1900. when these cooperative
associations were negligible, the
Federal census gave home owner
ship as under IS per cent. Dur
ing the next 10 years the asso,
Citations grew and so did home
ownership, to 40 per cent. BY
1920 the. percentage of homes
owned exceeded 4S. giving Omaha
fourth place for the whole cOun-
try among cities of its class. And
since the building and loan asso.
Citations have waXed stronger and
SO has home owning.
OF the mortgage money placed
In the city during the last 80
years. over 40 per cent has been
building and loan funds. Think of
this in these recent days of in.
Vulnerable bank failures. In their
so years of operation. only two

ANTARCTIC HEALTH
RESORTS WS|ONED
Sir Douglas MaWsen Hopes
to CoIonize ICebound
Region.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. June lift Sir Douglas
Mawson has his way in the Antarctic,
the South Pole one day will be a
health resort
Sir Douglas, who was on the scien-
tific staff of the Shackleton expedition
in 1907 and led the Australasian Ant
London to make final preparations in
Australia for a new exploration of
the Southernmost continent which he
hopes will prove the practicability of
coloniZing that ice-bound region.
The government has loaned him
Scots old ship, the Discovery, and
officially the purpose of the expedition
is to continue the charting of the Ant
arctic coast line and to study the life
and habits of the whale.
Sure Colonists Will Follow.
However. Sir Douglas looks beyond
the immediate objective and regards his
task as the first step in the develop
ment of new land. He is confident
that colonists will follow the explorer
Gas they did in the development OF
America, and that in a few years the
polar continent will be dotted with fish
ing and mining settlements.
1t may be far cry from such ruoe
settlements TO the sort OF tnlng one eh-
poets to see in health resorts, but Sir
Douglas sees nothing illogical in the
thought of health resorts of the future
being built there. The atmosphere OF
the Pole, he points out, is totally devoid
of dust and innocent of any kind OF
germs (Which do much of their travel
ing on dust PARTICLES. The climate,
in fact, he asserts, is "the healthiest
in the world" and the polar world a
region of gorgeous beauty.
Scores Seek to Make Trip.
Apparently the explorers enthusiasm
for South Polar climate and scenery is
the contagious sort, for before he left
here he received scores of applications
for posts with his Xpedition-several
of them from women. His reply to the
feminine aspirants was:
Not this trip. What we need on this
expedition is men who have been on
similar expeditions before. Capt. Davis
wants sailors; want scientific experts. "
Capt. j. K. Davis, Sir Douglas Sec
ond in command, will remain here with
the Discovery until she is ready to sail
in August. Sir Douglas will join the
ship at Capetown.

HOOKING BIRDS LOVE Baked
BY BLINDNESS, DUE TO BULLET
Frances Lou, Gagged Near
Window, Attracts Unseen
Mate in Tree.
Tad, Boy Owner, to Go to
England Soon, Adding to
Her Sorrow.

Riyaling the tales Of tragedy and
hopeless love which are told Of fair
ladies in the age Of chivalry is the life
story Of Frances Lou, a blind mock
ing bird owned by 11-year-old Tad
Egan Of 1889 Newton street.
More than two years ago q careless
boy permanently blinded the bird with
a pellet from an air rife.
Frances Lou had nearly starved to
death when an elderly woman CHANGED
to see her lying under an evergreen
bush in Cleveland Park. She carried
the wounded creature to q bird store
and arranged to pay for her lodging
so long as she might live.
For nearly two years, then. Frances
Lou lived in the bird store, perched in
cage high up on q wall. Finally Tad
Egan, youthful member Of the Audu-
bon Society, and lover Of all birds,
learned the story Of Frances Lou. He
prevailed upon the store owner to give
