Reiterated warning that

Wallace today in his annual

which he termed essential to per-
manent farm relief.
OF the administrations gold

not have a great effect for some

At present, however, none of
these reports is given any con-

Princess Maria probably will
relish this coming winter, since
she has hitherto been kept strictly
at home. The Italian girl of good
family does not go out until she is
married, and Maria is no excep-
ton.
Outside Visits Barred
But unlike other Italian girls,
she is not even permitted to visit
her girl friends at their homes.
They may come to see her, but
she may not go to see them.
Dark-eyed Maria seldom has
been seen in public, except at the
opera or a concert, when her
mother or sister Mafalda accom-
panied her. She likes music.
& She has learned to dance, but
does not dance outside the royal

Dear MIR. Trevor:
Referring to your letter of De-

follows:
"l.-Workers who were origin
ally on relief rolls and were plac-
ed by the Civil Works Administra.
tion on Civil Works projects may
be transferred from one project to
another by the Civil Works Admin
istration without reference to
your files. The Civil Works Ad-
ministration has charge Of all Civil
Works projects, and if they desire
to transfer their workers from
one project to another it is en-
tirely within their province to do
so.
PIT is not necessary to reg
ister persons already registered at
the Relief Council. Only those
should be registered who have
mot received permanent assign
ments on Civil Works protests or
who are otherwise unemployed.
"a many may change his
occuPational classification on the
registration card If he desires, al
though this should not be allowed
promiscuously and only in cases
where there has been an error in
classification. This should be done
by crossing out the old classifica-
tion and inserting the new. and
then filing the card under the new
occupational classification.
"4.-Persons holding positions
with city, county or state, should
not be registered, as they would
be considered as employed, and we
can only register the unemployed.
5.-You should only make as
signments on Civil Works projects
on the request of your local Civil
Works Administrators. The selec-
tion should be done by the mama
ger. and not by the Civil Works
officers. as we have certain pref
erence rulings TO observe in maxi
ing these placements. In special
cases, however, where q very pas-
ticular type of skill is required, it
might be well TO 90 over the list
of available registrsnts with the
Civil Works officers so they can
make selection of the man they
think best qualified to fill their

must bear in mind that Il 10 not

Explains Method
OF Making Home
Loan Appraisals
Manager For Maryland Says
Procedure Is Exacting-Out-
side Experts Called In

The procedure of the Federal Home
Owners Loan Corporation in apprais-
ing properties it lends money on is
most exacting, David Stiefel, manager
of the institution in Maryland, said
recently in his offices in the local Post
office Building.
The corporation, he said, not only
relied upon the appraisals of it's own
experts, but also employed experience
ed appraisers at fee to come to a
fair estimate Of the properties worth.
How They Work
"Here," said Mr.. Stiefel, "is the way
we go about it:
"The object of appraisals is to ar
rive at fair worth of the property.
This fair value is not necessarily the
technical market value. Appraisers are
instructed to give equal weight to ~
the market value at the time of the
appraisal; ~ the cost of a similar lot
at the time of the appraisal, plus the
Reproduction cost of the building, less
depreciation, and (3) the value of the
premises as arrived at by capitalizing
the monthly reasonable rental value Of
the premises over a period of the last
ten years.
ITO illustrate, let us suppose that a
typical American home was soundly
worth, in 1928 $4,000, and therefore
at that time, when there was a fair
market for homes, had market value
of $4,000. Assume today that this
home has a market value of $500
The present cost of such lot, plus q
reproduction of the house, less depre-
citation, gives us a value of, let US
assume, $4,000.
1--WE assume that the house mad 6
rental value of $1OO month ten years
ago and now has rental value of So
a month, and that the average renta
value has been $75 a month, and cap
italizing these rentals on the basi:
prevailing in the community, arrive a
a value of $500.
ave add $500, plus $500, plul
$500 and have $19,5O0, and divide b!
8 and have an appraisal of $4,000. o.
this property at this value, the cor
poration can advance as high as 81
per cent, or $500 in bonds; or tn
manager, after consideration of all tn
facts can fix the final appraisal, whicl
shall not exceed the appraisal of tn
corporation appraisers by more thar
10 per cent. Then, the final Appraisal
may be readjusted by the corporation
in Washington"
