HOME LOAN BANKS
LEND 16 MILLIONS
ReIoaning Operations in %
States in Three-Month
Period Reported.

I CHICAGO, Ill, April 8.-Buildine
hnd loan associations reporting to the
United States Building and Loan
League today told of the retailing of
nearly S16O000 600 of Federal Home
Loan Bank funds to home owners in
% States during the last three months.
This is the first summary available
of the reloaning operations carried on
by these member institutions of the
Federal Home Loan Banks-the opera
tions by which the money reaches the
home owners Figures given out by
the Federal board from time to time,
cover, in the nature of the case, the
advances made to member institutions
by the system. The league announce
ment today shows where the money
goes from there.
Total Not Covered.
Ward B. Whitlock, president of the
league, points out that this figure does
not cover the entire total of such re-
loaning operations, since all of the as
sociations which have obtained Home
Loan Bank funds have not yet reported
on their distribution of the money, but
he emphasizes that the figures reported
do give a valuable picture of the prog
fess being made in extending home
owner credit.
The new mortgage credit was ex-
tended to the home owners for the fol-
lowing purposes, according to informa-
tion from reporting associations:
For remodeling and repairs, S5,4l6,-
D00, or "a per cent of the total; for
loans to pay taxes on homes, $685.
900, or % per cent of the total. and
for refinancing of mortgages where the
home owner was being pressed for pay
anent and for the making of new mort
cages where the home owner could find
no other source of mortgage money,
S6,875, 900, or 43 per cent of the total.
Effect of Loans.
significant comment from one of
the reporting associations told of the
effect of the Home Loan Bank funds
in the community.
I'VE advertised our membership in
the Federal Home Loan Bank system
and the fact that We had money to
1oan," said the association. "Imme-
diately man came to the Office and
said that he had been wanting to build
a house. He had all but 1000 Of the
$500 he wished to put into the struc-
ture, and if he could obtain the loan of
81 200 he would start the house at |
once. This loan was granted, and it
meant quite bit to this town for the
merchants to be able to sell the ma
terial for this house and for the
aaborers to have even this initial in
crease in employment"

NEW YORK, April IL (NAN.A).--
Otto Praeger, who in 1915 reorganized
the railway mail service and two years
| later launched the United States air
mail. has just returned from Siam,
where for five years he has been ao-
wiser to the posts and telegraph depart
ment, and says he intends to stay IN
this country for o while and get back
into aviation.
II believe that aviation can be made
self f-sustaining without Government
subsidies" says Mr.. Praeger, Il
know it can. We made it self sustain
ing In Siam. We took mail contracts
for IS, 900 ticals less than the army was
able to do 1t for and at the end Of seven
months showed q handsome profit.
After the start. commercial aviation in
Siam never was in the red"
Built on Utility
A tical. Mr. Praeger explained, i
worth about 40 cents. He went on to
saw that the air freight and passenger
business had been built up with strict
attention to necessity and utility and
without any fancy trimmings. That
was why it paid. He described aviation
a q costly specialized form Of straIls-
portation with certain definite limits.
It was necessary to keep within these
limits, he said, to make 1t q profitable
business. He will again open oMces as
an aviation consultant, although he
doesn't q yet know exactly where.
Mr.. Praeger, once Washington cor
respondent Of the Dallas News and later
postmaster Of the City Of Washington
and Second Assistant Postmaster Gen.

scribes Siam as a very pleasant country
to live in, with the exception. OF the

and MAY. The rains begin In June and
cool the atmosphere. The wet season
lasts six months.

Siam as q good deal Of q paradise.
They can have almost any number OF

The houses, Of European type adapted
to the East, with more area in win
dows and doors than anything else,
have every modern convenience. The
people are kind, pleasant, courteous and

preston there is confined to the mer-

Hard times come only with crop
failures The biggest crop Is rice, and
Siam has been affected financially by
the trouble in China, its biggest rice
customer. Moreover. there is no market
for the products Of Its tin mines and
rubber plantations. The fish industry
Is very large. but has been carried on
for home consumption. During the last
two years plans have been made for
