ture than has been attempted here
tofore In the housing field
The real property survey recently
conducted by the Department Of
Commerce In q number OF representa-
tive cities throughout the country
disclosed some valuable facts Of Q
general nature, according TO Wroe
Anderson, the councils research d.
rector, but the Government survey Of
housing conditions did not cover large
metropolitan centers, which comprise
q more complex series Of differing
types Of residence, and did not at
tempt to secure highly specific infcr-
nation which would serve as q basis
for measuring the market for par
ticular types Of repair and modern
izing service and equipment.
The councils survey plan does not
contemplate covering an entire area,
Mr.. Anderson states, but will select
sections Of typical residence classes
and make q rather intensive study
along carefully laid lines of research,
to establish the approximate need for
additional homes due TO doubling
UP" Of families, the market for new
equipment due to obsolescence, and
the desire on the part of the resi-
dents for additions TO their home or
q change Of location.

RENOv|z|NG PLAN
GAINS HEADWAY
r. H. A. Officials Hope for
Greater Expansion as Pub.
lie Understands Scope.
ARLINGTON COUNTY RES,

A reawakened chorus Of hammers
and saws was sounding across the land
today as reports poured into WASH
ington from all parts of the country
indicating that the Better Homes Pro-
gram, sponsored by r. A. A., was
swinging into action with q rapidly
mounting momentum.
It is expected by. F. H. A. officials
that as a more widespread under
standing of the plan and scope of the
program is gained by the public, the
amount of actual improvements on
real property will continue to gain.
According to reports reaching r. H.
A. in Washington, some confusion
exists as to the functions Of various
governmental agencies that are active
on the housing situation. In order
further to clarity the matter, the
r. II. A. has just made public the
following explanation of the scope and
functions of the four leading govern
mental agencies that are endeavoring
to assist in the housing situation.
Only Insures Loans.
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton makes no loans to the public and
cannot deal with distressed conditions.
1t insures loans made by private lend
ing agencies for purposes OF modern
izations of all types of buildings, and
later will insure mortgages made by
such institutions upon new and exist
ing one-to-four family residential
buildings, and under special condi-
tions, upon low-cost housing projects.
No such loan may exceed $4,000 nor
be for less amount than 500. Bor-
rowers are not required to furnish col
lateral. The notes require no CO.
maker or indorser. The borrower
must show his ability to pay the note,
and his annual income must be at
least five times the amount of the
payments required in year.
Makes Loans for Repairs.
The Home Owners Loan Corp. is
authorized to refinance mortgages on
distressed homes, that is, upon homes
where mortgages and other obliga-
tions are in serious default. This
corporation has established recon-
ditioning division and makes direct
loans for modernization and repair,
but only to owners upon whose homes
it has already financed mortgages, or
to owners who would be eligible for
distress loans, or to owners Of unin-
numbered property meeting the eligi-
bility requirements Of the corporation
and who cannot receive financing
from private lending agencies.
The Federal Home Loan Bank Sys-
tenn does not lend to individuals Its
essential function is to lend to mu-
tual savings and building and loan
associations from whom the 2,500
institutions, now members Of 1t, may
borrow up to so per cent on mort
cages held by them.
Develops SIum Program.
Federal Emergency Administration
of Public Works-Housing Division:
Housing Corp. The housing division
is the unit of the Public Works Ad-
ministration charged with the devel-
opment of program OF low-coSt
housing or slum clearance projects,
and correction of acute housing short
age not necessarily involving slum
clearance. The Emergency Housing
Corp. is an auxiliary of the housing
division, established to expedite the
housing program. Neither OF these
agencies deals with individual own
| ership needs.

Fund Only Nucleus.

"Our $500, 600 900 fund, which may
be used to insure up to $1,000, 900 900
of advances, should furnish the ker-
mel for an even larger volume of
work. We believe that to be the case,
for in some cities modernization CAM
paigns have been conducted and ex-
perience has shown that in addition
to work that requires financing, an
even larger amount is undertaken on
a cash basis. Hence the amount of
modernization credits insured will be
only partial measure of the efforts
Of ourselves and cooperating groups" :"
James A. Moffett said.
Evening star., 1934-08-25
Built-Ins Encouraged.

An attractive built-in breakfast
nook is something one can install
through loan under the Housing Ad-
ministration program. Compared to
the convenience and pleasure to be
derived, the cost will be slight.
Evening star., 1934-08-25
Regular Payments Required.

Regular. equal, monthly payments
seasonal payments for farmersl are
required until the note is paid In
full.

AN IMPORTANT IoTA

Sometimes the expression mot one
iota Of difference" is heard, meaning that
the difference between the things men
toned is negligible or of no Importance.
Few probably know, however, that the diff
ference of zone iota" materially changed
the significance of the Christian religion.
The word "iota" is the name of the
Greek letter corresponding to the English
81" In formulating Christian creed, diff
ferences arose as to whether the Greek
word "homoiousion'' or 'shomeousion,
should be used in describing the relation
ship of Christ to the Father, the former in
dicating that Christ was of like" sub
stance, while the latter denoted "one" SUBJ
stance with the Father
This difference of only one letter
caused a serious division in the early
church, which led to decision of the first
ecumenical council at Nicea in the year
1876, adopting the version lone substance
with the Father as part of the Nicene
Creed. Thus the dropping of one letter
1900 years ago changed one of the i'm
portant dogmas of the Christian faith.
Since that time numerous changes in
the creed have been made by general
councils of the Catholic Church. The
original Nicene Creed adopted in 325 is
translated into English as follows: B.
I'VE believe in one God, the Father
Almighty, Maker of all things, visible and
invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, begotten of the Father,
His only begotten, that is, of the substance
Of the Father; God of God, Light of Light,
Very God of Very God; Begotten, not
made, being of one substance with the.
Father, by Whom all things were made,
both the things in heaven and the things on
earth: Who for the sake of us men, and
for our salvation, came down from heaven
and was incarnate, and was made man:
Who suffered, and rose again the third
day, and assembled into the heavens, and is
to come again to judge the quick and the
dead. And in the Holy Ghost"
The so-called Apostles Greed in its
present form appears to have been UNI
known until 700 or 800 years after Christ.

a NEW ANEsTHETIC
-.


Baltimore surgeons were delighted a
few days ago with the results obtained
through the use of new anesthetic called
evipan. 1t is administered by means of a
hypodernic needle.
According to the report, a patient
about to undergo serious operation was
given an injection Of evipan introduced in
to vein in the bend of his elbow. He was
entirely unconscious in 90 seconds. Six
minutes after the operation was COM
pleted he regained consciousness and got
off the operating table by himself: After
drinking glass of water he called for "a
good big breakfast
The new anesthetic seems highly de-
sirable to use. because of its speedy effects
and the fact that it does not cause nausea
when the patient revives, as ether usually
does.
!. Evipan is German invention. and
will be manufactured BY. New York
chemical company. Extensive tests Wilisbe
made. however. before it is placed ON the
market. II it proves as efficacious as the
Baltimore report indicates it to be. it will
be great boon to millions of sufferers.

HIGH
SPEED TIRES ARE
GIVEN REAL TEST
FIVE HuNDRED-MILE RACE
RECORD SHOWN AS LARGE
LY DUE TO TIRES OF SAFER
GRADE

I Is z s.
When you consider that tire:
fare made largely OF vegetable
compounds namely. rubber and
cotton-it seems almost beyond
belief that for all of the 33 en-.
tries in the indianapolis 50O-Inile
race there was not a SINCE tire
failure.
Although many of the thou
sands Of spectators noticed that
the tires looked unusually large
as the cars hurtled past the grand
! stands, few would have thought
that centrifugal force at such
speeds increases the size of the
tire at least ten per cent. This
action of the tires is an indica-
ton of the terrific forces that are
straining and pulling at them, and
it was only the advanced en-
|gineering by Firestone--that pro-
|,vided the necessary strength and
safety for such a tire ordeal. All
the cars that qualified were equip
ped with Firestone tires. -
Hour after hour the powerful
lmaehines roared down the straight
6Hays, and pounded around the
curves on the blistering brick
ltlaek, while the thermometer
threatened to set new records for
race day temperatures. Record
speeds combined with the sun to
impose the ultimate of gruelling
tire tests-for heat and speed are
the greatest enemies Of tire life.
The first ten laps over the hot
bricks averaged more than lie
miles per hour. The new world
record of 1O4.865 miles per hour
for the 500 miles meant 15O mile!
per hour on the straightaways.
Cars made fewer pit stops thar
ever before and tires showed 81
per cent less wear in spite of tn,
high speeds and intense heat. Onl,
8 Of the SO drivers made even /.
precautionary tire change, al
though such changes can be mad,
at the pits without any lost tim,
while the car is being refueled.
In racing and motoring, the tw,
chief causes of premature tir,
failure and tread separation an,
internal friction. These two diff
i ficulties are overcome by TIL
firestone patented process O
Gum-Dipping by which the higl
stretch cords are saturated an,
coated with liquid rubber so tina
the tread and body of the tire car
be welded into one cohesive unit
This meals that the cords ana
fibers of the tire are insulated
against the heat of internal fric
ton.
Tires must bear the brunt OF
this supreme contest of auto
mobile and tire endurance ovel
those 500 miles-and from thi.
rigorous testing on the track have
come the forward steps in tire:
for the highway. The drivers OF
owners of the cars bought tho
tires they knew were safest a.
they staked lives for the chance
of victory and fortune.
