most cities the usual practice, in maxi

Rate Policy Outlined.
Local representatives of insurance
companies are instructed as rule to
charge the local rate Of interest on
first mortgages. In addition to the in
terest charge, most insurance COM
panieS permit their correspondents to
charge a commission or service fee,
which covers their appraisal of the
property offered as security for the
loan as we'll as the administrative work
of approving the loan. advancing the
funds, and collecting interest payments,
which are generally required semi-an-
nually. This service charge usually
amounts to about per cent or per
cent of the loan. and since insurance
company loans run from to Is years
this is a comparatively small item. Such
service charges are made by correspond
ents for their services and on their own
responsibility and such charges yield
no return to the insurance companies.

an insurance company loan is the

Carried in Year 1928.

q Fifty-six life insurance companies,
l0Cated in cities throughout the coun-

i dissertation of Real Estate Boards. In

citation declares that the man who really

u II money were tight" it might be
j difficult for the average man to become
n home owner, but money for this pur-
, pose is called plentiful and the sources
fare many. Life insurance companies
have turned part of their tremendous
assets into the home field only since the
great war, and of the Sc companies

Average Mortgage Estimated.
: Assuming the average home mortgage
J 10 be $500, this would mean that a
group of Sc life insurance companies

i last year and that "a of these companies
/ have set up 380,063 establishments in

The so insurance companies whose
flgures are quoted have combined assets
OF $9,438,956,86l, and are among the
100 largest companies in this country.
They are located in cities from coast to
coast.
The association points out that the
reason for the release of these vast
amounts to the home buyer lies in the
TACT that the home buyer is such
good risk" Experience has shown
financial institutions that the man
buying his home under mortgage or
1nstallment payments rarely defaults.

charge for title examination. As rule
insurance companies require title
guaranty policy or certificate, though
some of them will accept an abstract or
attorneys opinion of title.
Few insurance companies make
straight mortgages but require install
ment payments on the principal, averag-
ing from to per cent year. Many
companies defer these installment
periods for a period of two or three
years after the loan is placed. This
practice affords an opportunity for the
borrower, who may have to place a Sec
ond mortgage against his property, to
pay this off before he is required to
make principal payments on his first
mortgage.

 Substance Gland Secretion
 This hormone is an internal gland secretion, the existence of which has been recognized for years as an es- santial principle of small bodies called corpora lutea. The experi r,ents were described by Dr, Reg nald G. Harris, director of the lab 2ratory,
 Two extracts,' he said both made from corpora lutea have been discovered recently. The first was made by Dr. George w, Corner, head of the department of anatomy if the University of Rochester school of Medicine and Dentistry. The other extract was obtained by slightly different method by Dr. J. ]. Pfffner. a permanent member ot he laboratory staff.
 Both extracts are made from ,otpora lutea of animals.
 "Dr. Corners extract has been in tacted hypodermicaIly into rats and .abhits, whose ovaries were removed after pregnancy. Ordinarily this oper- 4tion would have meant death to inc lnhorn young. But use of the extract -esulted in normal birth Of healthy ,oung rats and rabbits.
 This result bears out bellei which many of us have held, that ,2rpora lutea are essential for nor nal births. and their lack an eXpla- aa;ion of serious ills, both physical md psychological. For years various .sencies have sought to make an ef- ctive extract. Now apparently We have it.
 "Furthcr experiments are under way. Our goal is 10 learn its appll- cations and then to make an extract suitable for human use. It is hoped t2csc uses may extend beyond the feld of reproductions.

Court Lenient in Contempt
Case Following Liquor
Law Violation.

BIZ Times SDecidI
MUNCIE, Ind, Dec. 2. Mrs.
Grace Hopping, who took up her
husbands bootlegging duties when
he left to serve a term on the state
penal farm, is free on probation
today, because she is the mother of
a little girl.
Had it not been for the child,
Judge L. A. Guthrie in Delaware
circuit court, said, Mrs. Hopping
would have been sentenced to Jail
or woman's prison for contempt of
court.
When her husband, Louis Hop
ping, was found guilty by a jury of
violating the liquor law, Judge
Guthrie ordered their house pad
locked, giving Mrs. Hopping ten
days to find another place to live.
During that time, Mrs. Hopping was
ordered not to keep or sell any
liquor at the place.
But Mrs. Hopping lived in the
country and she had a party tele-
phone. Neighbors listened in on
conversations and were impressed
by the number of calls for a half
red chicken" or "a half white one
They knew Mrs, Hopping had about
300 chickens, but they had never
seen any of half and half coloring.
The neighbors notified Prosecutor
Joe H. Davis and he headed a raid
ing party at the home, which found
evidence that liquor was being kept
on the premises and notified Judge
Guthrie.
