HOME LOAN BANKS
TO CUT INTEREST.
II Regional Units to Make
Advances at Lower
Rates.

AS a significant step in reducing in
terest rates on home mortgage loans
and in developing long-term mortgage
credit, the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board today announced it has passed
resolution permitting the IL regional
Federal Home Loan Banks to make
advances to their 2484 member f1nan-
cial institutions at interest rates rang
ing as low as per cent, with maxi
mum of 5 per cent. The previous
rate had been per cent on all ad-
vanceS.
The actual rates to be charged
under the new resolution are to be
fixed by the Board of Directors of each
regional bank. Decision in this re-
gard has not yet been made by all IL
banks, but it is likely that most of
the banks from now on will make
long-term loans between and Az
per cent, and short-term loans be-
tween Ak and per cent.
Commenting on the permissive reso-
luton by the board, John H. Fahey,
chairman, states: This important
step has been under consideration for
several weeks. Member institutions,
particularly in the East, were not in
clined to borrow at per cent from
the regional Home Loan Banks, in
spite of the convenient long-term
loans thus obtainable, because they
were able to borrow elsewhere at lower
rates, although only on short-term
credit. BY reducing the minimum
bank rate to 4 per cent, it is expected
that marked stimulus will be given to
long-term lending activity by the Fed
eral Home Loan Banks. These banks
do not lend to individuals, but only to
home-finarcing institutions which
have become members of such banks.
These member institutions are be-
| ginning to receive an increasing de-
mand for loans from home owners
who contemplate building or modern
ization programs. BY reducing the
minimum rate on bank advances from
per cent to per cent, it is expected
that member institutions in turn will
be able not only to expand their loan
able resources but, in many sections
of the country, to lower the mort
gage interest rates charged to their
home-owner borrowers. These steps
will permit long-needed repair and
rehabilitation expenditure by a con-
siderable number of home owners who
have been prevented from making
such improvements on their properties
in the past four years by the scarcity
and high cost of mortgage facilities. u

Wheat Crop Is Greater.

A wheat crop of about 100000
bushels is indicated in Maryland this
year, according to reports made to
Richard c. Ross, agricultural statis-
tician for the Maryland crop report
ing service. If this production is
reached, the 1884 crop will be about
a fifth larger than last years pro-
duction, but nearly a fifth smaller
than the average production during
the years 1927 to 1881.

ASSOCIATION ASKS
MORTGAGE PLAN
TO SPUR BUILDING
Senate Committee Hears
Request for Amendment
to Housing Bill.
THREE BILLIONS SOUGHT
FOR PROPOSED AGENCY
Government Would Buy for Dis

Homes.

Incorporation in the administra-
tion's housing bill of complete ma
tional mortgage discount system as an
aid to revivifying the building con-
struction industry and consequently
to the complete economic recovery of
the Nation, was recommended to the
Senate Banking Committee this week
by the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards.
If adopted the proposed amend
ment would set up a $4,000 ,00O, 900
Federal corporation for discounting
mortgages. 1t would be capitalized
by the Government at 5000 600, 900
and would purchase for discount
mortgages on newly-built tenant
occupied homes, housing projects and
business structures at a discount up
to per cent and bearing an interest
up to 6 per cent.

Gives Impression Of Chic in Midsummer
Dress Is Cut With Advantages
in Suitability for Many
Warm-Weather Days.
Conservation Gives Background
Desired to Combine With
Well Chosen Accessories.
BY BARBARA BELL.

" EXPERIENCED stylists admit
l. that more ingenuity is required
to put across an impression OF
IL chic in Midsummer than in
the Winter, when subdued
lights and rich fabrics conspire with
furs to fiatter us and bring our best
points to the fore.
When we plan our Summer ward
robes, we must give thought to our
individuality. While there are many
women who have a gift for pictur-
esquely whiting on hot day in delec-
table clothes Of exotic origin, the ma
jority of us appear to better advan-
tage when we do not indulge in warm
weather informalities.
The dress sketched is specially de-
signed for Summer wear. 1t is cut
with certain. cool advantages that
carry tremendous chic, without that
let-down to dignity that is SO often
seen in frocks of this type. Its con-
servatism makes it suitable for an all
occasion dress with which well chosen
accessories should be worn to give it
the stamp of individuality.
1t is hard to get through the sea-
son without at least one indefina BILE
frock to wear on hot day in town,
morning of shopping, or an informal
country-club luncheon. The right hat,
good looking gloves. and smart bag
are among the necessary articles that
can be depended upon to complete the
picture and add the final touches that
suggest good form and perfect taste.

1HE opposite of the overbidder is
the underbidder. Men are more
prone to overbid-women to
i underbid. I know a dear,
sweet old lady-a lovely person
In every other respect-but you simply
cannot get her to bid slam. I've
forced her with two primary tricks;
I've given cue bids on hands that dis
tinctly didn't warrant it; I've made
all sorts of gambling jump raises, but
the bidding inexorably comes to a
wheeling stop at the five level. About
that time I begin to think: Perhaps
I was wrong. Perhaps there isn't
slam in the hand. There's no sense
going on in the face of my partners
repeated sign-offs.'' And then she
lays down a hand with five trumps
and three outside aces. Once the
game is reached, she loses all further
interest in the hand. Many times I've
said to myself, This time I'm going
to bid a slam, come what may" But
something always holds me back; the
fear of double; reluctance SO dras-
tically to overbid my holdings. I've
not yet given UP hope, however.
The underbidder makes overbidders
of us all He is more of a thorn in
the side Of his partner than the over
bidder. After all, though 1,40O-
point set may prove more damaging
to your temper and your pocketbook,
there is nothing that equals the sick
futility of falling to bid perfectly
good game or slam. The underbidder
is usually poorer card player than
the overbidder, too. Since he always
signs off at a safe level, he doesn't
have to work out triple squeezes or
grand coups. Moreover, it all boils
down to the fact that we prefer cour-
age to cowardice-at the bridge table
and in life. However much it may
hurt us, there is some faint glory
about going down three redoubled-
none whatsoever about playing
hand at two clubs when you have
five.
It's easier to deal with the over
bidder than the underbidder. The
underbidder merely gazes at you with
a calf-like expression and says, But
couldn't tell that you had the king
of spades There we're lot of losers
in my hand" Finally you below, ex-
asperatedly, Didn't you ever hear OF
taking a chance?"
There are two ways Of dealing with

Biscuit Shortcake.

Use a standard biscuit recipe,
doubling the amount of shortening.
Mix as directed, divide into two por-
tions, roll about half an inch thick,
brush the surface of each with melted
shortening, place one round on the
other, and bake for about 20 min
utes. Split, butter the inside sur
faces, and fill with prepared sweet
ened fruit If for dessert, or with
creamed fish or meat as a savory
dish. This makes one large, or six
individual shortcakes.

Conquering Contract
By p. HAL SIMS.

the underbidder. One is to let the
bidding drop with a dull and sicken-
ing thud at his first unnecessary
signoff. After a few such experiences
he will be forced to bid more strongly.
The other is to take control of the
bidding yourself and force him up
ward. Both are dangerous. You
either end up in a disastrous overbid
or a futile underbid. The best policy
is to cut into another game and after
ward shun him as you would a leper
A certain hand was magnificently
and incredibly underbid by South.
He opened the bidding with a club,
a heart overcall was made by West,
his partner passed and East bid a
spade. He passed, West passed, and
now his partner took another look at
his hand:

With this worthless holding, it
seemed slightly suspicious to North
that the bidding should be passed out
at one spade. Knowing his partner
to be an underbidder, he tentative bid
one no trump. Three no triumph"
instantly responded South. He then
laid down the following hand:
Sp. K @ Di. AK
HIT. CT. K @
With almost an original forcing
bid in the hand. he passed East's
one-spade overcall. North, glaring
savagely at South, made four no
trump. He hasn't quite got over the
effects of the hand yet, but he has
made one resolution-never to play
with South again.

The Old Gardener Says:

Few trees are more interesting
than the smoke tree" and the
fact that its chief beauty comes
near the end of the Summer
adds to it's value. It is really
more of a bush than a tree. as
it grows only about IL feet high,
and as it spreads widely at the
top, it requires considerable room.
Its blooms are of little conse-
quence, but the fruiting panicles
which follow them produce a Gu
rious, mistlike appearance which
is unusual and delightful. The
smoky effect accounts for the
common name Of smoke tree"
and also for the name Of purple
fringe tree" which is sometimes
used. It will be found catalogued
as Thus cotinus. It has been
known in gardens for a great
many years, although commonly
overlooked by gardenmakers.

appetite comes with eating" is a
thought which we very frequently hear
expressed.
Little do we imagine. however, that
the words have a literary origin!
They have been credited to the six

In his essay "Of Vanity: MY appe-
tite comes to me while eating" How
ever, it was a slightly earlier French
man, the great Rabelais, who was the
author of the saying, or. as we find 1t
