Altitude Mark
Made By Goebel

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 6. U.P)-Art
Goebel today held the altitude rec
ord for flight in a Diesel motored
airplane, at 1925 feet. The pre-.
vious record, and the one that will
remain officially, is 17,503.
Goebel made the flight while
testing new Diesel motor for the
GuiberSon corporation.
The United States weather bu-
reau approved Goebels record after
checking his instruments. The
mark will not be recognized Off
cially, however, it was said, be-
cause Goebel did not begin the
flight with sealed instruments.

EMPHASIS PLACED

Still Room for Improvement De-
spite Recent Gains, Says
Fellow of Institute.

Although Ine interior architecture
and the furnishing of the typical
American home have advanced rapidly
within the past few years, there still is
room for improvement, according to N.
Max Dunning, fellow of the American
Institute Of Architects, and member of
the National Committee on Wood Util-
ization of the Department of Com
merce
Increasing Importance is now being
attached to the arrangement of rooms
to provide suitable and sufficient space
for the furnishings" Mr. Dunning
pointed out. People now desire a
maximum return on their investment,
and the future tendency will be toward
greater convenience
Two booklets. recently issued by the
Department of Commerce through its
National Committee on Wood Utiliza-
tion. were cited by Mr.. Dunning as
playing a part in the reawakening of
public interest in attractive, service

BRITISH REALTY'S
. STRENGTH UPHELD
Consistent Disregard of In
flation Results in Safety
in Face of "CyCIone."

Consistent disregard of real estate
Imitation in Great Britain has resulted
in a performance of this investment
which made its safety more apparent
in the face of the recent economic "cy-
clone than ever before. This was the
repeated declaration of Sir Harold Bell
man Of London, managing director of a
building society which plans to lend
S40,000,000 on homes this year in con-
ference with officials of the United
States Building and Loan League this
week in Chicago.
Mr. Bellman's institution is the $780,,
100000 building society whose president

Stamp. He conferred with building and

country similar to his own home

about the international congress sched-
nled for England next year.
Building Societies Active.
Every building society throughout
the length and breath of the United
Kingdom kept its doors open and did
normal business throughout the finan-
cial and economic crisis" pointed out
MIR. Bellman. There was never any
signs of shaken belief in the type OF
residential real estate loans made by
Rhese associations. The societies have
emerged from the crisis stronger than
ever in public esteem and confidence.
Il believe you can insure that same
Faith in real estate here in America by
the record of your building and loan
associations.
THE building societies make their
aoans chiefly to the middle and skilled
artisan classes. Naturally, these were
groups we would expect to be hard hit
by cuts in wages and salaries. But our
society, even at the peak of economic
and financial crisis, never had as many
as per cent of them so much as one
nonth in arrears, either in interest or
tnstallment payments on principal Of
the loan
Determining Lending Policies.
BY a cooperative group movement
The societies this year are determining
their lending policies in such a way
that the conservative financing of real
estate will continue to furnish grounds
for belief in its safety. To the physical
security of the property we are adding
the moral security which comes from
Fequir1ng the people who are living in
the home to make down payment of 10
per cent Of the value, no matter what
the collateral security put up, in addi-
tion to the real estate
There is still a very great demand
for houses in Great Britain Those
which sell under SIS 900 constitute a
greater part of the market, with those
valued higher very small part of the
demand. The sober-minded British
Ropulace does not load itself down with
prStallment purchases of luxuries until
the home is first paid for This attitude
is thoroughly known by his fellow citi-
Eens who invest money in home loans.
pU is one more reason why they have
yever lost faith in home mortgages. no
matter what the conditions in busi-
ness"

the decade which ended in 1880, unless

ceived.
Out of these rather imperceptible
processes q new structural conception
likely will arise which will give greater
economic utilization of land. New York
City has already produced combination
structures such as church office and
church-apartment buildings. Now that
our population Is growing older and
that in a few years 40 per cent or more
of our people will be in middle life or
above, it is not unreasonable to suppose
that economic pressure Will force our
churches to turn to revenue producing
buildings for a new means of support
Pretentiousness of exterior design will

On the same date 1t was made com pulsory for the Bank of Italy to keep q reserve in gold or Tn for elgn bills not below 40 per cent demand. The financial storms of 1881 were followed in Italy by the determined effort of the govern ment to kep the lira at It's stabi- liZed value. The storms were weathered with a success which leaves & path to quick recovery open in years ahead. Moreover after years of striving, Italy ar- rived at q favorable trade balance by the end of 1931.
 The paper circulation of Italy gradually diminished by virture of vigorous budget policy, continues the statement of the Italy America society. At the end of 1929, 1t was t6.774 million lire; at the end of 1890 1t was 15.688 millions and at the end of July 1881 1t had fallen to 14.678.3 millions and at the end of January 1892. 13.76S millions.

This gigantic structure, out of All proportion to other departmental buildings, covers five ordinary city blocks, equal to three Washington "squares," and occupies space as great in area az the Capitol bulld- ing, the White House and the Con- grcssional Library combined. It's weight is given as equivalent to Six Leviathans loaded to capacity. It's actual working floor space Is stated to be 1,092,000 square feet. It houses approximately 5000 em- ployes, and. according to published reports. the number fS expected to be increased to 1000. The building has 1000 windows which aid ven- tilatlon and afford choice views or other government buildings and spacious grounds of tho depart mental center.

Richly color ed Levanot columns support the ceiling, IL glowing canopy gildcd and painted to produce q glowing textural effect, and cast arab- esques of shadow in the polished mirror of the marble floor. The classic decoration of the frlcze around the ceiling adds to the impression of magnificence and the whole impression is one of wealth and power. of endless resources and great expectations.
 After describing the conference room on the first floor as "unques- the most richly decorative" and like the lobby two stories high" with the walls "wainScoted with deep brown walnut and tho ceiling coffercd and bcamed." the writer, gives this glimpse of ono of the spacious rooms:
 The spirit of the Italian Renaissance which the architects invoked in drawing their plans Is nowhere more in evidence, how ever, on the interior of the build ing than in the public search room adjacent to the Patent office. In this majestic apartment Lorenzo de'Medici himself well might feel perfectly at home, though so per- fectly balanced are it's proportions that he probably would be amazed to learn that 1t Is 67 feet across and 221 feet from one end to the other"
 The aquarium in tho basement. "the finest and largest non-com- mercial thing of It's kind east of the Mississippi," gets this notice:
 Like the stage setting for some under-sea extravaganza Is this place, with It's green terrazzo walls, it's grained ceiling. with coral bandings meeting in star fish in the center. No lights what ever are provided, except those concealed behind the fish tanks built into the walls. which give an effect of sunlight playing on the translucent water and colorful fish"

exclusive use of the secretary Of commerce, according to a report In the Washington Star, which says:
 Department officials in dcscrib- ing the great temple of fact-find- ing when 1t was completed on January 1, failed to say any thing about the private lift. It ls manned by woman opera tor, who draws $90 in pay a month, and protected from the prying eyes of the public by a heavy bronze door, which, in turn, ig watched over by building guard whose salary a month vate elevator leads to the fifth floor of the seyen-story building. where the secrctary's walnut-pan- clcd and air-conditloned suite is located. This lift has no connec- ton with tho two other elevators assigned to this suite. It Is under stood they are to be used only by special guests"
 Concerning tho air-coolcd system in the suite of the secretary of commerce, another writer says:
 "It is significant to note that the new department of agriculture ad- minIstrative building and the in- ternaI revenue building. both re- cently completed under the gov ernment's new building program. do not have provision for air con- ditIoning."
 While the exterior of the build ing is impressive by reason of It's colossal size 1t has like and added interior attraction. Katherine Scar borough. in the Baltimore Sun, thus describes the main lobby:
 "For sheer impressIveness of proportion and elegance of mate rials the entrance lobby on the Fourteenth street side of this $17.500.000 building well can af- ford comparison with any other government building in the world.

 None of the descriptions of the building, so far seen, give any esti- mates of the costs of maintenance of this huge pile of masonary and interior elegance. The only avail- able figures of the cost of running the department are contained In the appropriations for 1t during the incumbency of MT Hoover as scc- retary. When he took charge of the department. after the expansion due to the war, the appropriations were approximately 316,00O.000 a year. When MT Hoover left, the annual cost was approximately $40,000.000. Last year the appro- priation was $54,775,000.

 The predominating sources of supply arc from lakes, ponds and streams, although several water works receive their supply from wells and springs. The number of supplies falling into the former class is 73; while 19 are from wells and springs and ten are from surface and ground water supplies. The larger companies depend al- most entirely upon the surface wa ter of lakes and streams for for their supplies.
