ARCHITECTS AIDING
ON HOME SCHEMES
Old Houses Transformed in Many
Communities Through
Cooperation.

Architects throughout the country
are cooperating with the local Better
Housing Committee to demonstrate
Just what can be done in the way Of
home oetterment.
Old houses, usually the most un-
slightly and unhabitable, have been
moved from the slunns, or outskirts,
to the heart OF the community, and
there under the supervision of archi-
tects and under the watchful eyes Of
thousands transformed into modern
and attractive dwellings. Contractors,
the various units of the building in
dustry and laborers have contributed
their services or wares
One of the outstanding instances
is in Grand Rapids, Mich, where there
is a striking exhibition Of the Half
Painted House" An old building has
been moved to the center of the city.
One half of it is painted and the other
left as it was. The idea is carried
throughout. One half of the floors,
walls and ceilings have been refinished
and the remainder left in its original
condition.
The furniture Is one-half finished.
One side of the lawn has blossomed
under the care of a landscape archi-
tect, while the other is a tangle of
weeds.
Over $4,000 have visited and in
spected the house, and as a result
there has been a marked stimulation
Of modernization. The company orig
mating the idea has determined to
have a similar exhibition in the many
cities where is has branches.

FARM LOANS REACH
TOTAL OF 1,057,0OO
Direct Advances for Past Is
Months Pass Million Mark
by September /.

W. Forbes Morgan. deputy governor
of the Farm Credit Administration,
said yesterday that more than 1857
900 direct loans were made to farmers
under the agricultural credit recovery
program in the IS months to Septem-
ber l, 1884.
In addition to the new extensions
Of credit, approximately 100000 Fed
eral land bank borrowers who had
loans outstanding when the Farm
Credit Administration was organized
have obtained direct benefits through
reductions of interest rates and post
ponement OF principal payments for
the next few years as provided under
the farm credit recovery program.
The direct loans, which in all ex-
cept a few instances were made to
individual farmers, include the long
term Federal Land Bank loans made
only on first mortgage security and
the first mortgage loans of the land
bank commissioner The commission
er also lends on second mortgage Sc
curity up to rs per cent of the ap-
praised normal value of farm prop
erty, including all prior Indebtedness
not secured by other assets; but only
a relatively small percentage Of the
second mortgage loans are included
in the count, since large number OF
them were made to supplement land
bank loans.
The greatest amount of short-term
production and marketing credit ex-
tended this year In direct loans to in
dividual farmers was advanced by the
newly organized Farmers Production
Credit Associations. The total count
also includes loans by the regional ag-
ricultural credit corporations, which

RADIATOR SHIELDS GAIN
Improvement in Efficiency Over
Old Types Noted.

Attractive radiator shields, and
even concealed radiators that hide
modestly behind decorative grilles,
are growing in use in commercial
and residential worlds.
These types of modern radiation
can be more eficient than the old
type, as well as more attractive. Their
covers direct the heat to the lower
part of the room, where it increases
the comfort of the occupants and
prevents wasteful high-ceiling tenn
peratures that cause excess fuel con-
sumption. With the appearance OF
effective radiator shields and con-
cealed heating, the radiation system
has stepped out of a role Of mere
utility and become a factor in the
interior decorations in many homes.

The Frazier-Lemke farm mort

al. He added, however, that he
believed 1t unfair and unwise and
that he upheld its constitutional
ity with regret"
Judge Dawson said he ap-
preached consideration Of the

viction Of its unconstitutional
ity." He said when the case was
argued he did not see how the
legislation could be sustained.
Frankly" his opinion said,
Il regret that on more mature
deliberation I cannot conscient-
iously adhere to that view. I
consider the legislation, in some
Of its provisions, unfair to cred
itors and unwise even as to
farmer debtors, for 1t inevitably
closes to them all private sources
Of longtime credit"
These matters" he concluded,
however, involve questions Of
policy, which address themselves
to congressman the courts"
