lions which are financing more than
half of the mortgaged homes in

The first two States giving complete

larger volume of mortgage lending in
the three months of March, April and
May 1893, than for like months last
year. Texas, the only one to turn in
its June report thus far, records $685.
756 advanced by building and loan as
sociations to home owners that month,
as compared with s398,421 in June,
1892. This is an increase Of 50 per cent.
For March, April and May Of this year
Texas associations increased their
volume of home lending SO per cent
over a similar period last year.

Missouri, reporting for these three
months, registers per cent increase
IN volume Of home lending over like
period last year. This years loans by
the associations for the period totaled
$l,3l8,l04, while last years stood at
$ll46,8O0.
Morton Bodhsh. executive manager
Of the league, pointed out that these
two States may be taken as good in
dicators Of what is happening else
where Together they have $685., 000, 900
in building and loan assets, and are thus
representative States. He also said that
preliminary reports from some OF the
other States show the volume of home
mortgage lending equaling or out
stripping that Of last year.
The national official, who was one
of the original members OF the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board at Washington,
sees the influence Of this widening home
owner credit in the records OF new
that the association loans were made
not only for home building, but to
finance the purchase of existing homes
and to assume sound mortgages former

now unable to carry them.
Began About April.
The real increase of this years
hcme owner credit over last years be-
gan about April" said Mr. Bodnsh.
1--WE would expect to see this reflected
in the building figures for May. and
chat is exactly what the leading con-
stiuction statistical service shows to be
Che case. Out Of total contracts for
building let in May, 49.5 per cent Of
those to be financed privately, as con-
trasted to public works, were for resi-
dence building. Out of the June con-
tracts let, 1873 per cent of those to be
privately financed were for homes.
This is the first time since 1928 that
as much as 40 per cent of the construc-
tion has been devoted to residential
building In 1923. it was 42.1 per cent !;
IN 1929, only 1913 per cent; in 1880,
24.3 per cent; in 1881. 1852 per cent,
and in 1882, 81 per cent. Thus We see
residential building coming back toward
its normal proportion of the total build
ing going on. even though the actual
volume is still far below what 1t was

A new type Of kitchen sink, made Of

Of its strength. resistance to corrosion,

has been placed on the market In .

A (tinctive feature of the sink is
its one-piece construction, achieved by
stamping from sheet metal on huge
presses used in the manufacture Of au-
tomobile bodies. 1t has flowing curves
at all corners that eliminate cracks
and crevices in which dirt could &C.
cumulate.
Another construction feature Of the
new type sink Is its saving Of space
over those Of the older type. In most
sinks there is a roll around the apron
usually up to 2A inches in diameter
A curved edge Is used between the
drainboards and the sink bowl In
the metal sink the diameter OF these
rolls is reduced to half an inch and
results in 81 per cent increased working

The new sink has . silvery satin
