MOTHERS PRAISED
FOR HOME PLANS
Understanding of Necessary
Building Features Found
Same as Long Ago.

Prevailing styles of architecture and
curtains and rugs may have changed
in the past quarter century, but the
principles of home owning that make
a house livable are adhered to still by
the mothers of the country, according
to the United States Building and Loan
League
Praise for the understanding that the
mothers have of the features of house
that makes a real home Is sontained in
a statement of the Home Building and
Home Owning Committee Of the league,
issued today in observance of Mother s
day.
The committee finds, in studying
representative houses of the 100000
homes financed through the loan as
sociations, three important ideas reveal
ing the influence of the wife and mother
in home selection and development.
"In the first place. mother is not bent
upon having a palace so much as upon
owning a home with space enough for
the youngsters at all times, without
their being showed into a dining room
closet or apartment back porch with
their toys" says the committee chair
man. In other words the house, as
mother picks it out. is designed for the
family to breathe freer and more
happily than any place else, and that
rule is to hold true from dad on down
to the 2-year-olds.
Secondly, you will find few mothers
Evening star., 1932-05-07

willing to buy a home that costs more
than or 21z times the family's annual
income. This is the second bit OF wis
dom which the younger family today
would do we'll to take out Of mothers
book. With the future welfare Of her
family as much on her mind as their
present enjoyment she weighs the
budget carefully, and insists that they
shall keep within cost limits which Will
permit them a reasonable certainty OF
paying of the mortgage in eight or ten
years. Then she gets to work and makes
the most home possible out of the
dollars they have. 1t has been found
that mothers can teach designers and
architects something about the little
details which make a home livable.
Thirdly, mothers always insist that
the home must be something more than
a dormitory and breakfast nook for
the people who live there. The home

Of 10 cents for the identification of each
additional note secured under the deed
Of trust. In the presentation of notes
for release the additional fee is so cents
for the first note presented and cents
for each additional note presented.
"As the law specifically provides that
the recorder of deeds shall not accept
for record nor record any deed of trust
or release except in compliance with the
terms of the law there is no impair
ment or involvement of title procedure.
All requirements of the law must be
complied with before the papers are
recorded.
THE Blaine release bill is not retro
active and its provisions become effec-
tive 80 days after passage. 1t Is believed
that this period will give sufficient time
to the recorder of deeds to become
equipped to perform his new duties and
to readjust the Technology of deed OF
trust forms and release forms so that
the supply can be replenished and a
new form of note developed designed to
accommodate the Identification of the
recorder which can be imprinted on the
note with sufficient blank spaces to
insert in writing the identifying in
formation and signature Of the recorder" ."

corporate trustee is used it must ac-
cept the trusteeship by its signature and
seal to the deed of trust before
recording.
THE three basic. principles of this
legislation deal with the matter Of
fraudulent releasing. 1t is designed to
prevent fraudulent releasing of deeds
Of trust in cases where the money cover
ing the payment of the notes has been
deposited with the house issuing the
notes, although not actually remitted to
the holders of the notes. Any clause in
deed of trust permitting a release
when the funds are so deposited is de-
clared invalid unless a banking institu-
ton, under the supervision Of the con-
troller of the currency, is named as the
depository and where such banking in
stitution accep pts as such depository by
its signature and seal to the deed Of
trust before it is actually recorded.
Fees Described.
In addition to the customary fees
now charged for the recording Of deeds
OF trust and releases this legislation
provides a minimum fee of 81 for
identifying notes in cases where there
is only one note, with a further fee

mother would want would have invari-
ably some place to extend fashioned
fireside hospitality to the friends Of the
generation growing up. With such a
home as early in life as possible, the
growing-ups will not be eager to move
to a newer section of town, because
their attachment for the home will be
stronger than a fashionable whirn.
Mothers influence toward home
ownership should be one of the chief
grounds on which the Nation honors
her. Hundreds and hundreds of cases
show her saving here and there in her
household expenditures until there was
enough there for sizable down pay
ment on the home. 1t can safely be
said that the urge to home ownership
which when realized makes better
citizens and more desirable communi-
ties is a national contribution on the
part of the mothers of the land"

TRUST REGULATIONS
ARE DECLARED 0. K.
Proposed Law Is Given Ap.
provaI by the Washing
ton ReaItor.

The proposed law providing new
regulations concerning the releasing OF
deeds of trust, introduced in the Senate
by Senator Blaine, Republican, of Wis
consin, lis right in principle, workable
in practice and will afford adequate
protection to the public 1t is declared
in the current issue of tie washington
Realtor, official publication of the
Washington Real Estate Board.
In an explanation of the provisions
and purposes of the proposed law the
boards statement continues:
Its provisions go direct to the source
of two evils-namely, fraudulent re-
leasing of deeds of trust and the issu-
ance of duplicate notes In practice 1t
increases slightly the cost CT recording
deeds of trust and releases thereof,
places some burden of inconvenience on
those handling real estate transactions
and will require generally a greater
measure Of care in the preparation OF
real estate conveyances.
With certain exemptions and eX-
cept upon order of the court this leg
1Slation will require all real estate notes
TO be identified by the recorder of deeds
at the time the deed of trust is re-
corded. This requirement applies to
both first deeds of trust and subsequent
deeds of trust and whether they secure
borrowed money or deferred purchase
payments. The Identification must
follow a. form specifically set out in the
bill and must be signed by the recorder
or one authorized by law to sign for
him.
Provision Made.
Except upon order of court and in
certain other exempted cases the re-
Corder cannot record any deed OF re-
lease of any deed of trust until all of
the notes secured thereby have been
presented to him marked paid and
duly Cancelled. Provision mas been made
for cases wherein the note has been
lost or is otherwise unavailable. In
corded when a proper bond is filed
with the recorder or a sufficient sum
of money has peen deposited in the
registry of the court. The detail meth
cd to be pursued is specifically outlined.
Partial releases presented the most
difficult phase of the drafting of this
legislation, yet the sections covering
this type of release provide definite
means for handling any partial release
with both facility and ample safeguards.
Where partial releases are based on the
actual payment of part Of the debt the
recorder may record the release upon
presentation to him of satisfactory evi-
dence of the payment. In all other
instances the recording Of partial re-
leases must be by order Of court.
Both the Identification Of notes and
the presentation of cancelled notes, as
well as the procedure for partial re-
leasing, may be avoided by using as
trustee a banking institution coming
under the supervision of the controller
of the currency. These three require
ments Of the law also do not apply to
deeds of trust of public utility corpora
tions nor to any release thereof. When

Hollywood Will
Economize on
Costumes

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Feb. 4.
Every day Hollywood is becoming
more practical. The latest re-
form is aimed against designing
special gowns for pictures.
Mrs. Brock Pemberton, newly
appointed head of the R.-K.-O.
wardrobe department, is the
leader of the movement. Instead
of having creations made up from
sketches, she plans to buy origi-
nal models from the New York
and local shops.
Some of the most fashionable
establishments in the country
have agreed to submit gowns on
approval and to hold them ex-
elusive until the studio has had
first call. New York shops will
send their richest creations air
mail to Hollywood.
For four years a coStumer for
New York department store,
Mrs. Pemberton already has tried
out this plan at the Eastern
studios. She says:
II shall have designer, of
course; but, in most cases, it
is highly unsatisfactory to
choose gowns from sketches.
They look so different when
they are made up. Under my
plan, the star will have the
finished garment and will re-
quire only one fitting. This
will save them a lot Of incon-
venience, and the gowns will be
just as smart as if we had
made them up ourselves"
The new system will be tried
out on Ann Harding'S picture,

had a secret fear that was

fear that would transform him

man was afraid of lightning.
II cannot describe that fear
in mere words. Enough to tell
you that the dreaded lightning
with all the intensity that he
expended on his heroic deeds.
And, as always, there was
reason for that fear.
Afraid Of Lightning
In his early youth-he was
little more than a baby, when it
happened-George saw his older
brother killed by shaft of,
lightning. The impression of
that terrible sight had never
left his mind. AS he grew the
dread of lightning grew with
him. He could never surmount
the fear of that one thing.

with the obsession that he. too,
