COUNTY HOME
IS SAVED BY
j. s. LOAN
HyattsviIIe Office ForestaIIS
Foreclosure on Residence
in Silver Spring

There is a happy family living
in Silver Spring, Md, today, all
because of the work Of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation at
Hyattsville.
Aweek ago Mr.. and Mrs. Clin-
ton Allard were faced with the
loss of their home by fore
closure. The home is in the 800
block of Richmond Ave.
Sale Cancelled
Mr.. Allard appealed to Thomas
L. Peyton, regional manager Of
the loan corporation. and pro-
ceedings were started which end
ed in the cancellation of the
homes sale.
A three-year mortgage of $4,000
was held against the Allard resi-
dence by a Washington firm which
refused to accept the loan corpora
tion's bonds in lieu of the mort
gage.
Mr.. Peyton, acting as inter-
mediary, negotiated with the
Hyattsville Building and Loan AS
sociation to see if that concern
would buy the mortgage. This
was agreed upon.
First Home Saved
1t is the first home that has
been saved from foreclosure after
proceedings had reached a dead.
line limit, Mr.. Peyton said.
The manager Of the Hyattsville
office pointed out that where the
loan corporation could not
negogiate with mortgage holding
companies to exchange the bonds
for mortgages and where they
could not refinance up to 40 per
cent Of the principal with cash
themselves, they could act as an
agent for the home owner and
help him obtain financial back
ing from some other institution.

GR0CERS NEE 7
IN COUNTY

The Independent Retail Grocers
Association, of Montgoery and
Prince Georges County will meet
in the municipal building at
Silver Spring tomorrow night.
The association, formed. a week
ago, will adopt a code at tomor-
rows meeting, it is believed.
At present it is undecided
whether the grocers of the two
counties will remain a single unit,
or whether the Prince Georgians
will sever their connection and
form an association of their own.
The two main objects of the as
sociation is to adopt a code under
the NRA, and to bring their pur-
chasing power to such strength as
to secure discounts allowed chain
stores.

Major General Bishops Invention Seen
Due for Wide Use Following Amazing
Demonstration Of Miniature Weapons

each shell used in the field 75S
is $18. ,
Cost of firing the four-gun bat
terry of. midget 75s is less than l
cent. They use a commercial ball
bearing for a projectile. They -.re
propelled by 20 caliber cartridges
The ballbearings can be retrieved
and used many times.
Wide Use Seen
1t is predicted that the baby
guns will be widely used by regu-
lar field artillery detachments
and distributed to National Guard
units.
AS the principals of range find
ing and firing are substantially
the same in using the little guns
and the big ones, it is believed
the war babies" will prove of per
manent value in training artillery
men from military school to the
regular army.

j. s. ENGINEERS
To AID WORKS

Although Maj. Gen. Paul B.
Malone and certain other Army
officers in Baltimore have been
assisting in NRA work, it was
said at NRA headquarters today
that this has not been the rule
in other cities, and that the Bal
timore officers were participant
ing as citizens rather than in a
military capacity. They will quit
their NRA duties at the end of the
month.
It was anticipated that a num-
ber of engineer officers would be
assigned to public works jobs.
A few military and naval Off
GERS who we're available have been
transferred to temporary jobs in
NRA headquarters here, it was
explained, because they happened
to be familiar with the duties.

partment of education, presided.
In regard to the problems of
classes and promotions, it was
pointed out that the schools should
try to fit the curriculum to the
child, not the child to the curri-
culum. A growing tendency to do
away with report cards and five
point grading scales was observed,
as was the substitution of indivi-
dual notes to parents written by
teachers on the. progress of the
childs work.
Allen Mains of Calexico was ap-
pointed member of the publicity
committee for the southern section
of the association.

New York Stocks
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM
United Press Financial Writer

NEW YORk. OcU. 80. Wall
street today had difficulty in an
alyzing the latest administration
monetary plan-purchase of gold
in the world market-and as a
result prices wound up consider
ably easier than on Saturday.
The opening was strong and
quiet, gains running almost to 4
points.
The monetary situation was the
chief factor before the market.
Announcement of the gold pur-
chase plan resulted in a weakened
United States dollar, dropping to
around 66 cents in relation to the
franc.
The dollar continued weak all
day but toWarGs ) o'clock, foreign
exchange dealers reported a re-
versal in trading had come in with
European currencies being offered.
With conflicting points before it,
the stock market was extremely
nervous. United States Steel was an
example. 1t opened above 40, NOV
ed to almost Al and then in the
final selling drive, much of which
came from eastern interests, moved
around 81.
One of the widest declines came
in Union Pacific which showed 5
points less near the close after an
earlier gain.
Even the gold mining stocks could
not maintain the strength they
had shown in the earlier part of
! the session. Homestake near the
close was down points to 357
Alaska Juneau showed fractional
! decline after an earlier gain of
more than a point.
Stock sales today totalled 1,470,-
600 shares as againstf 1,110,OOO
! shares last Friday. Curb sales were
10000 shares as against $4,000
shares Friday.
Dow Jones preliminary averages
showed, Industrial 8843, off 3.58,
