LEAGUE DISCUSSES
MORTGAGE LENDING
Lender Often Less Wealthy
Than Man Whose Home
He Finances.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 8.-The average
lender of home mortgage money IN the
United States is less wealthy than the
man whose home he is financing, 1t IS
pointed out by the United States
Building and Loan League in a bulle-
tin issued today, entitled who Is the

The usual type of home borrower mas

his property, while the man VINO loans
the money has an average investment
of only s742, the league says.
Paradox Explaining.
Explaining this paradox. the league
recalls that most of the home flnanc-
ing in the country is done by savings
institutions, which really are Lending
the money of their investors to nome
borrowers, thus making the investors
the actual mortgage lenders in the long
run. Building and loan associations
hold more than half of the mortgages
on small homes in the country ana
nearly one-half of the home mortgages

average builder and loan shareholder
has S742 in the association.
It takes five investors of this type 70
get together enough money to flnance
one moderate sized home, with mort
gage. for example, of $500. Further
Statistics show that the average building
and loan shareholder makes the asso-
ciation his chief form of investment, SO
that he cannot be counted upon to
have other forms of wealth to back up
his savings.
Other Agencies Considered.
The league bulletin also takes up the
case of other agencies which make some
of the small home loans in the coun-
try, savings banks and insurance COM
panies. The average savings bank de-
positor who is the mortgage lender in
the case of every savings bank nome
mortgage loan, has only S81l on de-
posit. The 65,000,000 insurance COM
pany policy holders have a maximum
share of the companies assets averag-
ing little over $500. ;,
"It is apparent from these figures,
saws Ward B. Whitlock, president OF the
league. who Is author CT the bulletin
that the real mortgage lender is the
man who is putting the best bet OF his
life. his savings, into the home mort
gage. He is far removed from the gold
laden Shylock Of dramatic personinca-
tions"
A list of typical shareholders in build
ing and loan associations was drawn
up by the league, showing railroad
workers, clerks in financial institutions
mechanics, school teachers, industrial
employees of many trades. farmers

workers and young people just getting
their start in the business world, in

CHANGES FAVORED
I. IN DESIGN COURSES
Architects Report Recon-
mends Broadening of Edu-
cationaI Training.

Revision of instruction in American
architectural schools to enable build
ing design to keep pace with scientific
advance is advocated in a report to the
American Institute of Architects by
George Herbert Gray of New Haven,
Conn, director of the New England
division of the institute, according to
an announcement at the local chapter.
Broadening of educational training,
less emphasis on drafting room tech
nique, and greater application to the
study Of design in terms OF building
materials and methods are foremost
among the curricular changes listed by
Mr. Gray. American schools, he asserts,
have made rapid progress to high
level of achievement" but much higher
levels" are destined to be reached.
Science has developed new building
materials and new building methods,
and has radically changed the daily
life of man within his habitations and
in his entire environment" Mr.. Gray
points out. by many it is claimed
that this development in all other fields
of science calls for parallel develop
ment in the habitations Of men, de-
velopment more radical than has Sc
far been made.
Many efforts are being made to pro-
duce buildings which will be expressive
Of our age Of new developments in
building and Of new independence in
thought.
"Of these efforts only a few are sue
cessful, and the many are, by common
consent, failures. These haphaZard ef-
forts, traced to their source, seem to

Is Years Ago
Local Real Estate

"To some extent there are signs of
a return to the practice which used
to be so general in this city of individ-
uals building houses which they want
for their own, instead of buying those
built for the market" says news item
in the real estate section of The Star
of April 18, 1908.
There are, of course, advantages as
well as disadvantages about doing ones
own building, but the chief one, per-
haps, and what is mainly responsible
for the change, was the uncertainty
about the cost It is said that build
ing in some particulars is cheaper than
it was formerly, and while there has
been no change in the cost OF labor,
the price of materials has fallen.
Then some of those who built to
sell have not been as careful as they
might have been in their methods OF
construction, and the result is that
purchasers of their houses have in some
Instances cause of dissatisfaction when
they see them begin to disintegrate
long before times decaying finger has
begun to operate.
