CHICAGO. January 20-A check-up
on the disbursements of building and
loan associations to their shareholders
during 1888 estimates that $780,
100000 was distributed in the form of
maturing shares, loans on security of
shares held, for repurchase of shares
from those who could no longer afford
to keep their savings invested, and for
dividends. according to the United
States Building and Loan League.
Philip Lieber of Shreveport, La,
president Of the league, cited the lib
eralization of State laws in many in
stances to permit the repurchase Of
building and loan shares by the asso-
Citations in small amounts where the
shareholder was actually in need, even
though his application for the repur-
chase was not first on the list. This
wisdom on the part of the State Leg
islatures, he said, had made it possible
for the associations to serve even
more adequately than before those
who had put their savings aside for
a rainy day.
The shares in these home-f1nancing
institutions are by nature long-term
investments. since the funds are rein
vested in long-term, monthly repay
ment loans on small homes" said Mr.
Lieber. But the associations are or
ganized primarily for the welfare of
all the people in the community who
pool their savings in this cooperative
enterprise. Therefore, in cases of
emergency needs they provide for re-
purchase of a portion or all of the
shares, depending upon the size of the
shareholders need.
I'm many instances the members
prefer to borrow the needed cash on
the security of their shares in the as
sociation, SO that they may still re-
main members of the association, par
ticipating in its dividend payments.
That is why the share loan is pro-
vided
1T is difficult to estimate the assist
ance which was rendered by the keep
ing Of this sl,25O, 100000 in circulation
in the past year. During the time of
the bank moratorium last March, the
associations were permitted to dispense
funds for the immediate necessities of
people, and enabled the community
financial transactions to proceed in
many localities where the banks were
not permitted to open for several days
or weeks after the ban on financial
institutions was lifted"
Dividends for the year, included in
the total. amounted to some S3l5 ,00O,-
000 Mr.. Lieber said.

optCldI DISpdJCH 10 i ne quar-.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, January 20-The
sale of the Annapolis Roads property
at mortgage foreclosure Monday was
confirmed by the action of the Circuit
Court OF Anne Arundel County when
Judge Nicholas H. Green sustained a
demurrer to the petition filed by the
Armstrong Co. to restrain the sale ad-
vertised by the Equitable Co. of Wash
ington, which holds a $250,000 mort
gage on this property.
The whole project at Annapolis
Roads Is now involved in litigation, as
the Armstrong Co. several weeks ago
filed suit against the Munsey Trust Co.
Of Washington and others, asking for
an accounting and alleging a large
amount due that would wipe out the
present mortgage Indebtedness. This
suit is still pending.
Shortly after this suit was filed the
affiliated corporation of the Munsey
Trust the holder of big mortgage on
the Annapolis Roads real estate. in
stituted proceedings to foreclose its
mortgage, claiming the principal OF
S250,000 and large amount of inter-
est to be overdue. The Armstrong Co.
interviewed in these foreclosure proceed
ingS with a petition for an injunction to
stop the sale. which is set for next
Monday at 1890 o'clock at the court
house door in Annapolis.
To this petition the mortgage filed
a demurrer, claiming the petitioner had
no standing in court to restrain the
sale, as it had not shown a compliance
with the law in satisfaction of the
mortgage debt which was in default.
After hearing argument from both
sides. the court sustained this demurrer,
which means that the sale will proceed.

a reconsideration of the significance
Of the architecture of the ediflce to the
Nation and the Nations Capital
Obviously the design of the monu-
mental house Of prayer on Mount st.
Alban is reaSsertion of Gothic. In
that regard it may be said to be unique.
Nothing like it exists or ever has ex-
listed in America. When it is finished
it will be the most important ecclesi-
astical example of revived Gothic ideal
ism in the whole world.
But such a claim, necessarily, re-

toward an adequate understanding of
the distinguishing characteristics ana
values of the Gothic concept of linear
beauty.
Of course. no one knows positively
how or where the pointed arch. which
Is the styles central theme, was in
vented. Some authorities have thought
of it as having been developed in
France; others believed 1t came from
Persia or some neighboring section of
the Near East; still others imagined
India brought it forth. All that may
be claimed with confidence is the the
ory, supported by incontrovertible evi-
dence. that the arch was used in West
ern Europe in the twelfth century.
Church structures in which it appeared
at that time are still extant.
Popularity Grows
The idea spread with great rapidity.
BY the middle of the hundred years
following its Inauguration in the West.
scores Of Sanctuaries had been raised
in harmony with the pattern. Further,
the Gothic manner had been adopted
for civic, trade and residence purposes.
Town halls, guild houses and private
homes had been designed after the
model indorsed by the clergy for sacred
use. 1t was the Gothic age Even

1ected the prevailing mode.
