Continuing, he stated that materialisfn in the world has become so assertive that 1t has drowned out the voice of the spirit. It is because of this grow ing materialism, he explained, that Judaism and Christianity now both stand at a crisis.
 Christianity and Judaism both stand on the belief that man is basically spiritual being, the speaker said. Therefore, the growth of materialisn is serving to weaken the voice of the spirit and creating the present crisis.

dominant color of the wall is picked

The actual hanging OF the pic

background has been provided.
Their suitability for their surround
ings must of course be taken into
consideration. You could not ex-
pect dear little Cooley lady to be
happy in one of our modernistic
interiors. And pictures must har-
monize with each other as well as
with the furnishings and spirit OF
the room. Oils and water colors,
prints and photographs, and etch-

combined il they are similar III
treatment and subject matter. but
it is better to use only one medium
in room. In any case too many
pictures should not be iised--a few,
well placed, give the best results.
They should be hung so that their

vision OF the person OF average

in line and size with the space in
which. they are hung.

"HE choice of pictures to
hang in room is generally
i dictated by the wall finish.
Needless to say, wall covered
with laS Sge, bright colored figures

and white pictures are the most
suitable ones for such wall The
plain, light toned wall, however,
offers an ideal background for

colored picture seem TO belong, as
it did originally when all decora-
tions were painted right on the sur

sizes the fine details OF an etching
or a drawing. Cracked, faded, in
correctly colored walls, hung with
poorly chosen pictures, mean fail
ure to any room, while a beautiful
wall with few pictures artistically
placed, means good start towards

For the plain painted wall either
a fiat or semi-fat finish makes the
best background for pictures, as too

COST OF HOME
DETERMINED BY
MANY FACTORS

Considering home building from
an investment point of view, 1t is
easy to see that if the owner of the
house in which you live makes
money on the rent he charges you
for the privilege of living in his
house. you certainly should be able
to make money on a home OF your
own, provided you build economical
ly and finance wisely.
Perhaps, like thousands of other
people, you are trying to decide how
expensive a home you can afford
Your finances may be limited, and
you may be trying to determine how
much you are justified in spending
for a home.
Perhaps the easiest way Of deter
mining how expensive a home you
can afford to build is to consider the
rent you are paying. Budget au-
thorities say you are justified in
paying from one-fourth TO one-fifth
of your income in rent. If you are
thrifty, it is possible you can lay
aside a larger percentage for pay
nnents on a new home. for which
you would sometime have warran-
ty deed and complete ownership.
The amount of money, however.
that you can lay aside from your
income for home building depends
upon two things.
First, the size of your income.
Second, your ability TO have mon
ey each month after deducting liv-
ing expenses.
Home financing experts say you
are justified in building home for
which you can complete payments
in about Is years. IF. perchance.
you have saved one-fifth the value
Of your proposed home, you should
be able to pay the balance in II
years.
For example, the cost of the lot
should represent not to exceed 20
per cent, or one-fifth the total con-
templated investment. If the total
investment is 10 be s250o, the lot

OBTAINING LOAN
FOR BUILDING IS
GOOD BUSINESS

Most agencies that loan money
for home building are entrusted
with the responsibility of investing
other people s money. They must
be careful. They must investigate
the character and reputation of
those who ask for loans. A person
whose record is good. who has a
reputation for meeting obligations
promptly experience no difficulty In
Obtaining a reasonable loan.
Factors that influence the amount
of money you can borrow are the
lot you select, the home plan you
propose to build and the quality OF
material you expect to use in the
house. The available cash you have
on hand will 60 long way in de-
ternlining how much money you can
borrow. If the cost of your pro-
posed home is either too high or too
low in proportion to the cost of your
lot, your proposition may be con-
slider too great a risk.
You will see, therefore. that you
must be extremely careful in select
ing the type, size and kind Of house
YOU want to build It's cost must
not be out of proportion to the value
of the lot on which you propose to
build.
If you decide to finance your
home don't get the notion that the
house is not yours. 1t is. If you
need to borrow money for home
building purposes. don't get the idea
that borrowing money is a dis
grace 1t is not A large proper
ton of all the homes built in this
country are built with borrowed
money. Keep in mind that the

money considers your home build
