FARM CRED|TL0AN
TOTAL IS BILLION
Average of Three Million
Daily Spent by Recov-
cry Agency.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Farm Credit Administration
closed its books on the first year Of
business yesterday, with q record Of
having lent s1,27s 900 .ooo-an aver
age Of $3,490,000 during each and
every day of its existence.
A year ago President Roosevelt
signed the act consolidating all farm
lending activities of the Federal Gov
ernment in one organization. giving it
power to halt farm mortgage fore
closures and establish a reasonable
low-cost credit system for farmers on
Q business basis.
In reviewing the years work. Gov.
William I. Myers expressed his con-
viction the first objective had been
accomplished and achievement Of the
second was well under way.
$4,000 Loans Closed.
Federal land banks and the land
bank commissioner closed $4,000
farm mortgage loans aggregating
$791 100000, of which about 80 per
cent was used by farmers. to pay old
dootS OWGo W tOCdl ..
THE performance Of the land banks
has successfully stemmed the tide of
form mortgage foreclosures which
threatened agriculture at this time
last year, while the lower interest
rates. temporary poStponement of
principal payments and longer terms
of amortization made possible by land
bank and commissioners loans have
enabled thousands of farmers to re-
sumo normal farming operations, "
Myers said.
While carrying out this stop-gap
work, the administration also began
setting up its present plan for provid-
ing credit to farm groups at lower
rates of interest than was possible
under previous Government or COM
mercial arrangements. This program
included.
Establishment of $50 production
credit associations which have made
short-term. low interest rate loans
totaling S27,000,000 to farmers and
stockmen.
Loans to Banks.
Establishment of regional agricul-
tural credit corporations, later sue
ceeded by production credit associa-
tions, which lent s209 900, 900.
Lending of s34,000,0 900 to central
and regional banks for cooperative
farming enterprises.
Granting of s32,500, 900 in emer-
gency crop loans.
Lending of s8000,000 from the ag-
ricultural marketing act fund before
the banks for co-operatives were es-
tablished.
Lending of $500, 900 to joint stock
land banks.
In addition, the administration
achieved a total scale-down Of farm
ers' debts amounting to $46 ,000, 900.
Such voluntary lowered adjustments
of creditors claims were made in
cases where claims against heavily
indebted farmers made scale-downs
imperative prior to making loans.
On March 26 the administration
stopped making loans in cash and
switched to bond basis, making all
. ayments of loans in bonds of the
Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation,
which are guaranteed as to principal
and interest by the Government. !;
Since that time the bonds have been
consistently quoted above par and in
dicate. Myers said. an increasing con-
fidence in the eventual settlement Of
farm debt problems.

by the university administration.
Joseph B. Eastman, Federal co-or-

jority of cases.
We saw, however, across
the ring Commissioner Mel
vim Hazen in gray flannel.
It was too far to determine
the color of shirt or tie, but
a safe guess would be white
for the former and gray for
the latter. He usually wears
that combination.
Nearer us was Col. G. L.
Scott, who recently has been
made secretary Of the Rid
ing and Hunt Club. Colonel
Scott had DOTTED his uniform
for the evening and was
wearing a brown P a m
Beach with a white shirt and
tan tie.
Mrs. Scott, who was with
her husband, was also in
brown-a sport suit in some
light woolen material. Her
hat was Of brown rough
straw.
Comdr. and Mrs. A. B.
Courts were there, the former
in white linen and the latter
. in a white sport suit and
white hat.
Mrs. Ahearn, in a blue
crepe (very good looking)
and blue and white hat,
showed us before Dempsey
went into the ring, the gift
she later presented him.
It was an infinitesimal
sweater in blue and white
wool with tiny rosebuds and
knots of pink.
We gather that little Miss
Joan Dempsey, age three (or
is it four?) days will shortly
be wearing that most attrac-
tive little garment. 1t should
become her.

"She looks like both Han
nah and me. More like Han

me - especially about the

The Teal truth of the matter
is that all three have a place
right now. Paris is always the
originator in certain things, es-
pecially in color and a fineneSs
of workmanship that is hard to
copy or achieve in this country.
Paris Clothes Adapted
New York copies Paris clothes,
adapts them, and goes further,
creates many things that are
just about as lovely. New York
clothes are naturally better
suited to our needs and our fig
ures than Paris things, for
Parisiennes are quite different
in every way from American
women. Line, good fit, swing,
those are the things you can
look to New York for.
But Hollywood has "distribu-
ton" Every costume designed
for the films is shown to mil
lions of women. all over the
country. They are copied, imi-
tated, adapted the whole
world sees them. Many coat
styles or hat ideas have swept
the country after their release
in a good picture, worn by a
popular actress.
Created in Advance
But there are difficulties in
the Hollywood clothes too. They
must be created far in advance
of their showing. Often they
must be a year ahead. For that
reason they are often too con-
servative, just as often too ex-
treme, for it is the ultra con-
servative and the ultra extreme
that lasts longest, or that looks
less strange after a few months.
For that reason, few clothes
designed for the actual pictures
are Wearable or adaptable for
the general populace. But the
clothes that are important are
those that the Hollywood design
ers make for the personal ward
robes of the screen people.
Like all of us, those people
must have their own "at home"
clothes, and they are often as
lovely as the screen clothes, but
more wearable, more generally
usable. And those clothes de-
serve copying, are often the in

Jack is we'll tailored and
knows how to wear his
clothes. But it takes more
than a tailor to make a man
look like that. He has the
happy faculty, too, of ap-
pearing to be unconscious OF
what he is wearing. 1t Is a
safe bet that Jack, once he
has ordered a suit, never
gives it a second thought.
He has that air whether he
does or not. Either his wife
or his valet, if he has one,
must attend to the business
of brushing and pressing
Arriving at the Union Sta
ton Monday for the fight
scheduled for the Riding and
Hunt Club, Jack was wear
ing a light gray flannel,
white shirt and lavender tie
in a conservative figured pat
tern. Later, before going on
to the club for the matches,
he changed the tie to a dark
blue taffeta bow knot. Prob
ably his shirt, too, but it was
still a white one.
His clothes are pleasantly
conservative. 1t would be
hard to imagine Jack in one
of the checks or plaids that
delight the heart of his sue
cessor, Max Baer. Maybe it
is his wife's influence. Mrs.
Dempsey, we gather from
talking to Jack, is a deter
mined little person. If she
said conservative" it is a
safe bet that Jack would
shun loud plaids, etc., even
if his heart desired them.
He was met at the station
by "Goldie" Ahearn, who
staged the recent very sue
cessful matches at the club.
For his trip to the station
and later for the matches
MIR. Ahearn wore a small
brown check in tropical
worsted, blue shirt, blue and
white tie and white eyelet
sport shoes.
The Dempsey party's host
at dinner was Fred Buch-
holz, the well-known restau-
rauteur. Fred wore at din
ner and to the club the Gus
tomary blue flannel coat,
striped (very fine), black
and white flannel trousers,
blue shirt and blue and
white tie.

Sooner or later, the American
public will realize this, and will
be demanding Hollywood fash
ions. Then there will arise a
manufacturing center some
where near Hollywood where
those clothes will be made for us
all. Or designs will be sent to
New York, the present American
center, there to be copied for us.
So it is in the future that the
real competition will exist be-
tween Paris, New York and

or mellowed maple tables for
a song at country auctions are
over. But there are still bar
gains among the less sought
after pieces of furniture, and
good examples of glass. china
and pewter, and amusing old
prints to be found. And there
remains the excitement of out
bidding someone else to get
them. The August issue of
House Beautiful gives this gen.
eral auction advice:
Look for things by native
craftsmen. Buy pine and
maple furniture. This was the
wood of the farm. 1t was beau
tifully handled, with an eye to
utility. If you are addictsd to
mahogany, face the fact that
to be good it must be expensive.
But if it's the lure of the bar
gain, stick to the simpler things.
Be on the lookout for cam
phor wood chests. They are
American history. Seventy-five
years ago every sea captain
came back from China with his
sea kit slowed in one. While
he was in China he was likely
to buy Lowestoft. He gave the
native motto or a picture to
put on his tea set. You will
find washington, accurately re-
produced, but with almond

The blown has become so
scarce that little souvenirs they
used to blow for you while you
waited and which cost you a
dime now bring in several
dollars. It is fun to settle on
one pattern and collect it piece
by piece. Or collect one thing.

A final and obvious reminder
in thiS-the pleasure will be
