new BOARD TO
HELP PREVENT
LOSS OF HOMES
Rescue of Man Whose
Property DeteriOrateS for
Repairs Lack Also Aim.

BIZ nifcd Press
WASHINGTON. Aug 1.-THE
home loan bank board has set out
TO slash its way through red tape,
and bring swift relief 10 the small
home owner, staggering under the
burden Of his mortgages.
Chairman Franklin w. Fort Of
the board, in his first formal enun-
citation OF policy, made it clear that
he and his colleagues hold as their
ideal the rescuing Of the man whose
property Is detcriorating because he
has no money for repairs, and can
not raise funds because banks have
restricted loans in order to keep
cash on hand
How II Will Work
He explained the technical set
up OF the board, pointing out that
all the facilities OF building and
loan associations, insurance COM
panies and savings banks would CO.
operate in the work. And then he
reduced the whole problem to the
viewpoint of the average man:
We'll, let us suppose YOU have a
mortgage he said, held by saw
ings bank in your city which is due
or coming due in the next few
months.
AS matters are today that saw
ings bank feels that it must realize
fc IL
in order to get cash if its depositors
demand it. Consequently, it is not
inclined to renew your mortgage,
and is demanding payment.
Must Keep Funds Liquid
"At the same time all the other
banks and building and loan asSo-
Citations in your town are likewise
anxious to keep their funds as
liquid as possible to meet the al
ways uncertain demands of de-
preston times.
You can find no one else who
can make you new mortgage.
Therefore, you are threatened with
the foreclosure on your home and
perhaps the wiping out of your
lifetime savings.
'As soon, however, as the home
loan bank board is in operation this
whole situation should change.
In the first place, the bank which
now holds your mortgage can be-
come a part of our system.
Immediately upon its becoming
member, not only your mortgage
but II per cent of all the mortgages
it holds become rediScountable at
the home loan bank.
Eases Pressure on You.
Consequently, it does not need to
put pressure on you for repayment
since, in the event it has need for
substantial funds quickly, it can
secure them from the home loan
bank by a loan at low interest
against your mortgage and others.
Finally, the home loan bank, as
long as any governmental capital
is in the system, will have the
power to make direct loans on first
mortgages up to the same percen-
tage of the value of the property
that they may loan to institutions"

BUSINESS TRENDS
Nothing Spreads Prosperity
More, Says Automotive
Leader.
BY ]. T. WILSON,
Vice President, Nash Motors Company.

Vice President, Nash MotorS company.
None of the worlds enterprises spread
prosperity faster than major automo-
bile manufacturing organization when
it starts the gigantic industrial wheels
rolling on the production Of new
product.
The first expenditures to be felt in
the bringing out of new cars are those
in connection with the experimental
work This activity is vital to the sue
cess of the new cars and Is carried on
over years of time and hundreds OF
thousands of miles of actual tests.
Labor Shares in Benefits.
Labor and machinery manufactur-
ers share the bulk of the substantial
capital investments in plant machinery,
tools and equipment for new car pro-
duction; an investment which runs into
millions when major changes are made
in the production of the cars. Multiply
this investment in both the development
of new design and in new plant equip
ment by two and you will realize the
totals spent for both new chassis and
new bodies.
The next big distribution of money
goes to the basic resources OF the coun-
try to the producers OF coal and iron
and steel and glass and rubber and
the many other materials used IN au-
tomobile construction and to the labor
which produces those materials. Addi-
tional big investments are made
throughout the trades allied to auto

MARKET FEATURES
OF AUTO PROMINENT
Industry Must Cope With Immense
Replacement Potential,
Says Sales Head.
BY c. w. CHURCHILL,

General Sales Manager, Buick Motor Co.
Two features of the 1882 automobile
market stand out prominently. One is
the immense replacement potential
with which the industry will eventually
have to cope The other Is the pres
ence in growing numbers Of buyers of
keen discrimination, whose demands
for engineering excellence, mechanical
advancements and refinementS to body
design and appointments exceed those
of any previous year.
The automobile market has benefited
somewhat by the improvement shown
in general business conditions during
the past few months. 1t has enjoyed
further stimulation through the intro
duction Of new models during a period
of the year in which sales are ordinarily
at a low ebb There still remains
however. a tremendous future demand
which the industry will feel with in
creaSing intensity as business condi-
tions continue on the upgrade.
The extent of this coming demand
can be realized when it is understood
that 100000 more cars were added tC
the replacement potential during 1881
This brought the total estimated re-
placement figures up to approximately
4.5OO.OOO based on the average length
of time an automobile is used before
being replaced with a new one.
The fact that this replacement
market has grown to such proportions
cannot be taken as an indication OF
any lessening use of automobile trans
portation. For one thing, gasoline
consumption, which is one of the best
guides to the extent to which auto
mobiles are used, has increased
steadily
For another, reports from the ield
show that the millions of persons who
have delayed buying new cars during
the past year or two have done so for
reasons of economy, and not because
they have any less desire now thar
formerly to own a new car. 1t Is en-
tirely a question of gaining renewed
confidence in the stability Of business
affairs and the certainty Of continued
employment to bring the buying de-
mand back to normal.

A Distinctive Tag

Why not a distinctive automo-
bile tag for the District OF Co.
lumbia?
Why not q combination OF the
three colors-red, white and
blue-as permanent color
scheme for automobiles carrying
District of Columbia numbers?
Why not allow these three COL
ors in combination to display the
first distinctive automobile tag
in the country?
If such a tag were adopted the
three colors could be changed
about each year-red numbers,
blue background and white bor-
der for one year; red ground,
white numbers and blue border
the next year; blue numbers,
white ground and red border for
third year-but the District OF
Columbia would always have It's
distinctive red, white and blue
tag.
Why not?

He will weigh the costs of keeping his
old car in condition for another year
against the down payment that will
give him the comforts and trouble free
service Of new car during this year.
Final Result
The result will be that in addition to
the thousands Of cars that must this
year go to the junk heap, there will be
thousands of old cars still in running
condition turned in on new car pur-
chases. Americans are too shrewd and
far sighted not to see the cash advan-
tage and actual economy of buying a
new car with money that would other
wise go into the old car without in
creasing its resale value in the slightest
degree.

AMERICANS HELD
SHREWD BUYERS
Real Values at Low Prices
Seldom ignored, Says
Auto Official.
BY l.. A. MILLER,

PreslOent WlIyS-OVerland 20.
Events Of the past six months have
proyen that Americans have not lost
their time -honored shreWdness as buy
ers. When we have stopped listening to
the phrases of boom times we still have
an open ear to facts and figures.
Few Americans ignore real values at
low prices. Such revival Of buying as
we have had in the past six months has
been stimulated largely by the lower
prices placed on good merchandise.
Keenly Appreciative.
Most Americans are also keenly ap-
preciative of figures that show the
straight and simple way to savings not
quite so obvious That is why l be-
lieve that even before we see a rapid
upswing of general business we shall
note a marked increase in new car
purchases. There are a great number
Of cars that have done far more than
the mileage normally used in the hands
Of first owners. They still have lot Of
travel in them. They still go. But
every experienced automobile owner
knows that cars Of a certain age are
approaching the period when natural
wear will call for repairs and replace
ment of parts
He will listen to few plain figures.

HONEY NO ANTI-FREEZE
Held Too Viscous to Circulate
Readily at Low Temperatures.

Honey, according to the Department
of Agriculture, is one Of the choicest
and most valuable of foods and 1t IS
very doubtful if the production will
ever reach such proportions as to ne
cessitate the surplus being used as an
automobile anti-freeze.
This decision was probably hastened
by recent Bureau of Standards tests
showing that the mixture Of two parts
honey and one part water needed to
prevent freezing in zero weather is too
Viscous to circulate readily at low tenn
peratures in automobile radiators. The
bureau has found that in addition to
flowing at low temperatures the ideal
anti-freeze must give complete pro-
lection without boiling away over
heating the motor, affecting the cars
