To all this the bond-hOlder

"My good friend, answer me this:
If | borrowed a thousand dollars
from you and you gave me n
mortgage on your home worth
two thousand dollars at the tirAe
of the loan and at the time the
interest on the thousand dollars
became due, you found that your
home had shrunk in value to the
point where it was worth only one
thousand dollars, you came to me
and said. Here, l have been un-
lucky. | should not have borrowed
that thousand dollars from you;
I was a fool. Now my house is
not worth more than one thousand
dollars and l can not even pay
this interest. But I'll tell you
what I'll do. I'll agree to pay
you five hundred dollars and leave
the mortgage as security and also,

me three times as long in which

~Inasmuch as the cost of work at

The movement, 1T was pointed out,
not only will aid employment and busi-
hess of the community, but will have
direct influence on the value of prop
critics and the security of first trust or
mortgage notes. and will generally act
as tonic on the whole economic stu
alton of the communication the homes
which now have loans on them will
have higher value and protection if
these properties are improved"
Perhaps the largest source of unem-
ployment in the District of Columbia, 4"
the board said, "is to be found in the
building industry, and the alienation
of this one factor alone will add tre-
mendously toward the accumulation of

Wide Benefit Seen.
ut is needless to say that the giving
OF employment, the expenditure of
money, will create a beneficial effect in
every line of business endeavor, from
those who sell goods and materials to
employees and financial institutions.
1T should be borne in mind that not
single penny is being raised to ac-
complish this purpose. The board has
received the whole-hearted cooperation
of almost every field of endeavor, with
the result that this movement has been
made possible without the aid of
money-raising campaign"
Somewhat similar campaigns Of lesser
extent, the board stated, have been
highly successful in other cities and,
altogether, have reclaimed for circu-
iation nearly $70,000,0O0
Appropriate ceremonies are planned
for the opening of the remodeling en-
terprise in front of the Department of
Commerce Building, and for the con-
cluSion of the campaign.
Competitive Designs.
The old house to be publicly remod-
eled will be the subject of competitive
ter of the American Institute of Archi-
tects. The remodeling design will be
chosen by jury.
Through the generous cooperation of
the various agencies joining in the cam
paign, all labor, materials and services
involved in the improvement of the ex-
hibition dwelling will be contributed
free of cost. This includes architec-
tural services, construction work. lum-
Der, paint, electrical equipment and the
like
There will be an exhibition, also, of
sketches and photographs showing what
can be accomplished in the way of
home improvement at reasonable cost.
The campaign in Washington is an
enlargement of a movement to ''ren-
ovize" Philadelphia, where thousands of
unemployed have been given jobs and
millions of dollars spent in similar i'm
provernent work. The word "renovize"
was coined in the Philadelphia cam
paign to denote the general renovating,
repairing and remodeling activities fos-
tered under the plan.

OHIO PLANS TO UNITE

Anti-Saloon League and Prohibi-

COLUMBUS, Ohio, February ia
new party movement designed to unite
the forces Of the Anti-Saloon League
and the Prohibition party was launched
here today by the National Voters
Union, an organization headed by F. M.
Mccartney of Columbus.
Mccartney was the Prohibition party S
candidate Tor United States Senator
from Ohio last Fall. He said he had
addressed an open letter to the Anti
Saloon League asking it to join forces
with the Prohibitionists.
The union issued declaration of
principle, stating that I'VE declare 1t
our Judgment that no political party
has a right to expect or receive the
support of a patriotic citizen as long as
it advocates the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment or refuses to put itself on
record in open hostility to the beverage
liquor traffic"
The organization proposes to hold a.
State convention here as soon as 10000
persons have signed petitions sub

been prepared for and used by the
public.
"A complete renovize exposition has
been set up on the third floor of the
Architects Building for TIE specific
beneht OF home owners, to show them
what can be done practically to repair,
remodel and restore the individual
home.
The basic economic facts on which
the renovize Philadelphia campaign
rests are, first, mass movement tine
tured, leavened and electrified by mass
psychology, and second, a concentrated
business organization personifed in the
administrative staff which has planned
and carried out the entire program ac-
cording to the well established prin-
ciples of mass selling.
Today there is no doubt that many
business leaders fail to appreciate that
the stage is set as never before in the
history Of this Nation to take the step
and do the things which will overcome
the inertia under which business has
been struggling vainly, forlornly and
without heart, but also will inspire con-
hdence In the future. without which no
real revival OF business can proceed"

were intimations today that the Gov

j. c. Shaffer sought and obtained a
second pcstponement of the commits
sioner's hearing for woman and two
men accused of plotting to extort $780,
900 from Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
The hearing for Joe Bryant and
Norman Harvey and his wife, Elsie. was
set over until next Friday morning by
United States Commissioner Charles D.
Fox, jr. The commissioner warned that
further delay could not be expected I'M
less the Government is able to give
some specific" reason for such a re-
quest.
1--WE want to be fair to the defendants
as well as the Government" Shaffer
told the commissioner He answered
defense differences that the Govern
ment was without adequate evidence By
citing certain undisputed facts, which
he said would make it "the duty" of
the commissioner to hold the trio for
grand jury action.
Defense counsel opposed, without sue
cess, the Governments motion and also
failed to secure release of the de-
PENDANTS on their own recognizance or
at least a lowering of their bonds.
Commissioner Fox ordered that Harvey's
bond remain $500 and Bryant'S
$5,000
Continuance of the case was ex-
pected in the light OF statements COM
ing from the district attorneys Office
prior to the arraignment of the trio
this afternoon Except for general
statements to the effect that further
time was necessary to delve into GER
tain angles" of the case the request
for delay went unexplained. Assistant
District Attorney T. x. Parsons added
that there were other leads" un-
earthed by the exhaustive investigation
which required more study.
