people who gave me lovely gifts, but
how can / when / can't even in
clude my own relations. outside OF
our Immediate families? How does
one draw the line In making up such
n list?
Answer: | don't think that you
can very well accept the shower

ers-let alone the friends who give
the shower parties-to the wedding.
You would better have said, Thank
you, Mary, but don't have a shower
for me because ! can't ask any
one but the family TO my wedding"
It is quite possible TO cut your list
as you please so long as you are
consistent. Ask aunts and uncles
and stop at first cousins. Or ask
cousins you know well and omit
those you never see. Ask really
intimate friends, and no others.

NEW YORK. april 25. - Smart

Silver Futures recovered losses
ranging to more than 100 points.

the loss. Rubber future recovered
only small portion of losses that
ranged to 80 points.
Meanwhile, the dollar rose sharp

Business news was featured by
sharp gains in steel operations and
electricity output. The latter was
the highest of any week since Dec
ember II, 1881, while steel output
was expected TO cross the 1888
high next week.
There were a few weak spots.
Industrial Rayon at one time was
down 334 points to 80 1t later rail-
lied Celanese also was weak. The
selling followed a reduction in ray
on prices by Industrial. Other
companies may follow.
Higher steel operations failed to

ing but rallied. Mining shares
were mixed. Silvers recovered when

HOME BUILDERS ABLE TO GET
LOANS FROM ASSOCIATIONS

IS bringing about reversal Of the
doubling up process with the con-
seouent increase in residential rem
tails and a noticeable increase in
real estate activities. -
Investors and borrowers in build
ing and loan should be interested
in assistance being given those in
Stitutions by two federal organiza-
tions. The Home Owners Loan
Corporation has exchanged hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in its
bonds for distressed mortgages held
by building and loan. This re-
funding process has substantially
improved the building and loan
picture. A large proportion OF the
associations Of this state are now
members of the Federal Home Loan
Bank system. which is not TO be
confused with the Home Owners
Loan Corporation. The Federal
Home Loan Bank advances funds
to its member institutions, placing
these member associations in pos
ition to make conservative residen-
tial loans.
Homes for more than half a mil
lion families were financed by
building and loan associations of
the nation between January l. 1890
and January l, 1884, or one out OF
every 80, according to the United
States Building and Loan League
The total volume of home lend
ing was three billion dollars, or a
seventh of the entire home mort
gage debt of the United States
There are definite indications that
this year will see the total exist
ing mortgage debt probably take its
first forward step since 1880. A
larger percentage of associations
funds this year can be supplied TO
borrowers wishing to buy. remodel

6. were discussed at meeting OF
interested businessmen in tn e

merce.
In addition to Hetzel, w. A. Ton

sociation. These three plan to at
tend the convention and it was
proposed at last nights meeting

ships in the association so as TO
increase the voting strength of this
area.
The meeting favored an active
campaign up to the time the dele
CATION leaves, to make 1t as large
as possible.
