assistant instructor Of swimming at
Northwestern University, who had
done social work in Chicago, who had
been a dramatic reader, q director of
physical education at Shorter College,
Rome, Ga, and who had iust I'm
ished a three-year term as director
OF recreation in United States Gov
ernment hotels, turned her thoughts
to school which might blend many
varying trades and talents into a
harmonious whole.
Miss Webster started with what
she considered . an advantage-she
held no degrees. She created, SO to
speak, from the ground up. holding
the mirror up to education without
benefit OF scrolls or the drone of
university valedictorians. She began
with school for physical education.
From that she progressed TO a school
OF speech and dramatic art: from
that to a school for secretaries and
ended-or rather began it all as a
complete unit with her junior college.
Today these four schools stand side
oy side on the hills of the Rock
Greek Park Estates. Miss Webster's
nome Is there, and the grounds con-
tain tennis courts. outside swimming
pools and an outside theater where
Shakespeare is spoken when Miss
McCracken thinks it should be spoken.
In February Miss Webster will re-
ceive her M. A. degree from Amer
ican University. She is also working
tor her doctors degree, and while
doing all Of this has modelled an i'm
portant school into something OF
oeflnlte value to a community. She
has published a book of verse.

LITTLEPAGE CITES
LOW LOAN CHARGE
Rate Is Held Up as Reason for
Increase in Modernization
Financing.

A great increase in the number of
"modernization" loans in Washington
recently is attributed to the unusually
low rates available here by Thomas
F. Littlepage, general chairman of the
Washington better housing campaign,
assisting local participation in the
national housing program.
The maximum charge for these
loans, as laid down by the Federal
Housing Administration, is an annual
discount of IS on each 500 borrowed.
This charge includes all interest, serv-
ice fees, etc.
The maximum is being followed by
most banks in the country, but in the
District the banks have lowered the
rate to an annual discount Of SAILS
on each S100 borrowed.
The "modernization" loans, which
must be applied to the repair and
Improvement of buildings, range from
500 to $4,000. They must be repaid
within from one to five years. Hun
dreds of property owners in Washing
ton have already secured loans to
improve homes, churches. apartment
houses, stores, etc, Mr.. Littlepage said.

cal study. We may confidently look
forward five or six years when the
total requirements Of our citizens for
foods and raiment will readily be sup
piled through intensive cultivation OF
mere 50,000,000 acres Of properly
fertilized land.
What then is the future of the
four out of five farmers who even
now need work no more? What is to
be done with the two or three hun
dred million acres Of land we need
no longer cultivate?"
The answer as seen by DR.. Hale
is the gradual growth of ''agricenters. II

be taken for degradation" into valu-
able chemicals.

corn as one already practicable ex-
ample. Corn contains 80 pounds OF
starch a bushel.
Would Not Miss Starch.
With the starch extracted, the
farmer, he says, still can use the corn
in form Of gluten and oil press-cake
for feeding live stock. He estimates
that the farmer at present prices OF
starch would get about 80 cents a
bushel for corn and still have the
bulk Of it for feed.
