ADVERTISERS Join
IN HOUSING DRIVE
Forty Leading Agencies of
Country Pledge Support
to Federal Program.

Another step in the vast national
sales campaign designed to drive away
unemployment through home mod
ernization was taken yesterday when
executives of 40 leading advertising
agencies throughout the country
pledged their support to the Federal
Housing Administrators program.
The advertising men met with Off
cials of the F. H. A. at the Willard
Hotel, discussing campaigns to sell
building material and other supplies
needed in the housing drive.
Declared Worthy Effort.
After the meeting James A. Moi
fett, housing administrator, said the
plans of the F. H. A. were outlined to
the advertisers, who agreed to do all
in their power to carry out their end
of what many of them described as
the greatest of all the present Ad-
ministration's efforts to annihilate
the depression.
They said the possibilities of busi-
ness for them, for their. clients and
for new clients we're unlimited, and
expressed enthusiasm at the F. H. A.
set-up, which allows home owners to
borrow money ION the installment
plan" to improve their property.
At similar meeting last week a
group of the nations leading indus
trialists pledged their cooperation in
the F. H. A. campaign.
Regulations Interpreted.
The housing agency yesterday in
terpreted its regulations to allow mu-
inequalities to take advantage of the
Federal Housing Act to make NUM-
cipal improvements. A statement
said:

extension of bank credits by too rigid
an attitude toward "slow" loans that
are fundamentally sound.
1T stands to reason Law said,
"that as long as examiners believe it
to be their duty constantly to hammer
on loans that are admittedly good
only because they are slow, 1t will
have the effect not only of forcing
banks to exert unnecessary pressure
on such loans, but will prevent them
from making any new loans except
those that are extremely liquid and
of short duration"

HOUSING EXPERTS
TO TOUR DISTRICT.
Group of Three Coming Here
on Inspection Trip to
36 U. S. Cities.

Thirty-six American cities, includ-
ing Washington, engaged in working
out public housing programs will
learn how experienced European hous-
ing leaders would handle problems
confronting them when three Of these
experts start six weeks tour of this
country, beginning Monday.
The tour has been arranged by the
National Association Of Housing OFF,
cials, to bring to American housing
leaders definite suggestions and spe-
cific proposals made in the light Of
the extensive housing experience Of
Western European countries.
Sir Raymond Unwin, technical ad-
wiser to the Greater London Regional
Planning Committee, who has long
been active in British housing affairs,
heads the group. The other members
will be Ernest Kahn, formerly man
ager of the municipal housing enter
prises of Main, Ger
many, and Miss A. Samuel, member
of the Council of the Society Of
Women Housing Estate Managers Of
Great Britain.
Twelve of the 36 cities have been
selected as observation stops on the
tour. In addition to Washington
they include Boston, Cleveland, De-
troit, Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Louis,
New Orleans, Atlanta, Knoxville, Gin
cinnati and Philadelphia Officials
and representatives of the other cities
will attend group conferences in these
key cities and submit their local hous-
ing problems to the housing experts.
The purpose of the tour is not
more speeches about European hous-
ing" says Coleman Woodbury., execu-
tive director of the National Associa-
ton of Housing Of1icials. Rather, we

Committee May Be Named
to Handle Federal Drive
Here.
MISS M'CRUM TO TRY
FOR REMODELING PRIZE
Improvement Council to Conduct
Survey of City to Determine
Needs.

The machinery constructed in the
many civic organizations and COM
munity groups of the city for carrying
out The Stars $1,000 Better Homes
contest is regarded as invaluable as
sistance by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration in preaching the doctrine
of modernization to home owners
throughout Washington.
Citizens associations, Better Homes
committees, similar committees and
members in other organizations who
have been helping residents Of their
sections understand and enter The
Stars contest are expected to carry on
for F. H. A., as the two are closely
associated locally. They will furnish
the means to perpetuate the Govern
ment's ambitious housing campaign
when the competition for prizes has
been closed.
Housing officials point out that
"there is no better way for an organ
iZation to demonstrate real civic inter-
est" than by helping spread informa-
ton about Government-insure loans
for home and commercial property
renovation or enlargement in the re-
spective communities. BY getting the
property owner to improve his home
or store, the administration adds, the
citizen is also helping to improve the
appearance of his section, thereby
enhancing real estate values.
May Name Committee.
1t was held likely in reliable
sources, though no official announce
ment was forthcoming from either
F. H. A. or the bankers, that COM
mittee would be appointed in the near
future to administer and direct the
housing campaign in Washington. At
the present time no local set-up has
been organized and one is believed
vital to the greatest success of the
campaign.
The committee, if definitely decided
upon, will be composed Of possibly one
representative Of F. H. A., two bankers
and a like number of delegates" to
represent the borrower.
Meanwhile, The Stars contest swings
into its final stages with the prospect
that the last month of its duration
will be the most popular. The first
Washingtonian to obtain an F. H. A.
secured loan, Miss Alma McCrum,
1862 Thirty-third street, signified her
intention during the past week Of en-
tering the contest. Since that loan
was consummated Tuesday there has
been q lull in modernization activi-
ties, although a goodly number Of ap-
plications have been filed at the 10
District banks and other financial in
stitutions that have been given loan
insurance certificates. 1t is antici-
pated that the next two weeks will be
busy ones for the banks as well as for
the contest.
Survey Planned Here.
The recently formed Home Improve
ment Council announced today that
it would conduct a survey of the Dis
trict to determine fair estimate of
the city's needs for modernization and
renovation and the attitude of the
people toward F. H A and its loans,
which are made without collateral.

Plaids in Shower Curtains.

The vogue for plaids is carried into
shower curtains. A smart new design
in a cotton, vat-dyed so that the
colors are fast, shows a fine multiple
pencil line plaid in white against a
background of blue or other color, a
reversal of the usual scheme for
shower curtains. This design comes
with the new valance feature which
conceals unsightly hooks Another
plaid of similar type in black and
white is shown in a rubberized fabric.

Paint Warped Doors.

When doors begin to twist and warp,
examine the top and bottom edges.
Paint, varnish or enamel or other
protective coating should be applied
to keep moisture out. If this is done
in the beginning doors are less liable
to cause trouble later on.

CENTRAL BANK
PLAN FEARED

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Strong
opposition to proposals calling for
creation Of a governmentally con-
trolled central bank is expressed
by the Guaranty Trust Company
in the current issue of the Guar
anty Survey" The bank declares
the plan to be highly initiation.
ary in its aspects and extremely
dangerous in it's effect of altering
"the nature of the banking process
in such a way as to place the
entire economic life of the coun-
try under the regulation of pub
lie officials"
With central bank completely
under the control of the Govern
ment, the Survey fears the opera
tions of the institution would
be merely an instrumentality of
roundabout initiation"
Discussing the plan further, the
Survey continues:
The central bank plan in
stead of removing the banking
system further from pOlitic"'
control and restoring a greater
measure Of seIf.regulatiOn to
the bankers of the country,
would put the entire banking
structure into politics to an ex-
tent never before contemplated
In the United States.

COTTON PRICES
TURN HIGHER
High Low 1915

NEW YORK, Sept. "a 0.N.SD.
The cotton market turned upward
today as traders were spurred by
the favorable turn of events in the
textile strike and the better tone
displayed in the Liverpool-market.
There was considerable commits
sion house liquidation in october,
but this was offset by fairly good
demand from Wall Street sources
and the trade. Houses with far
eastern connections were buyers of
the distant positions. Locals and
the south were moderate sellers.
Hedge selling. chiefly responsible
for Saturdays setback, was con.
Siderably lighter.
Midday prices were up 4 to 5
points, with October up 4 at 1856,
December up 4 at 1919, March up
S at 1921, and May up 4 at 1895.

Knock Out
that COLD!
Give IL No Chance To
Get GoinGg

A cold once underwa. is a cold
hard to drive away! Let no cold
endanger you. At the first chill or
sneeze, take Groves Laxative
Bromo Quinine. It usually makes
short work of a cold because it is
expressly a cold remedy and be-
cause it gets at a cold from the in.
side. A cold, you know, is an in
ternal infection and calls for in
ternal treatment.
Groves Laxative Bromo Quinine
means COMPLETE relief because
it is COMPLETE treatment. 1t
does all the four things necessary.
It opens the bowels. combats the
cold germs and fever in the sys-
tenn, relieves the headache and
grippy feeling and tones and forti-
fies the entire system. That's the
action you want and anything less
is taking chances. Get Groves
Laxative Bromo Quinine at any
druggist, SOC and SOC. Ask for it
by the full name and accept no
substitute.
