caddies, and one day the secretary
explained his ideas to a group of
members.

Mrs. Nyland faces a problem of
parental responsibility, but the more
she ponders it the less possible of
solution it appears.
For years she had read to her
daughter, Nancy, from juvenile
books BETTING her years, but one
day, when the girl had reached the
age of FIVE, she suddenly interrupted
the reading with:
I'm tired of those books, mumsy.
All the girls in 1t are so goody-
goody."
Mrs. Nyland was too shocked to
make a suitable retort. But she ad-
mits that the younger generation Is
getting new ideas, whether from
their elders, the movies, or what not

VA. WHOLESALE
JOBS GAIN

Full-time as well as part-time
employment in the wholesale
business in Virginia was higher
at the end of 1888 than at the
beginning, according to figures
released today by the Bureau of
the Census.
1t is shown that if the average
number of full-time employees in
the wholesale business be ex.
pressed as 100, December of last
year showed an improvement
over the beginning of the year of
nine points. The peak in part
time employment was reached in
November, AZ points above the
low of March.
The largest increases in employ
ment in the wholesale business
were reported in the following
lines OF CTaue: Farm prOductS-raW
materials; farm products con-
sumner goods; groceries and foods
Except farm products; hard.
ware; petroleum and it's products.
While the number of establish.
ments in 1888 was larger by is
per cent than in 1929, business
volume was 45.5 per cent smaller.
The largest decreases in net
sales of all wholesalers were re-
ported by manufacturers sales
branches, due in part, the report
said, to changes of methods of
operation.
Operating expenses were higher
in all types of wholesaling estab-
lishments.

vided the improvements will be
considered a permanent part of

While no check may be made
on the property owner in many
cases, the use of money secured
under the rules of the Federal
Housing Administration for an
unauthorized purpose constitutes
a Federal offense.
The fact that a loan has been
misapplied will not, however, in
validate it as far as the insurance
provided by the Government is
concerned. If such a loan is de-
faulted, the private financial in
stitution that made it available
can make good its loss by apply

istration for repayment.

itself, it does insure against loss
on the loans granted by private
financial institutions.
The rule is that 20 per cent Of
the aggregate amount Of loans
granted is insurable. This does
not mean that if one particular
loan is defaulted the bank can
receive only 20 per cent of it from
the Government. This particular
loan would be repaid in full by
the Government, and so would all
other defaulting loans up to 20
per cent of the total loans granted
by the institution.
Thus, if the institution grants
so loans totaling $4,000, it is in
sured against loss up to $4,000.
