The door of the hotel room was opened by a tall individual whose gray eyes peered in eager expec- tation at Dan Blocker. "You brought him." the man said, and there was unmistakable relief ir his voice.
 Blocker nodded, followed Mrs Cathay into the room, turned to face the big man who was clos ing and locking the door.
 ''Well?" he asked.
 "It was very nice of you to come" said the man in a boom- ing voice, which had apparently been carefully cultivated to con vey an atmosphere of impressive dignity.
 He was a ponderous figure, somewhat in the forties. He was heavily fleshed and his shoulders sagged forward, as though most of his work had been done over a desk.

Mutual Mortgage Plan
Success Assured

charges on mortgages are con-
cerned.
In the first place, it is obvious
that there will be more mortgage
business than ever before. Total
profits to mortgage institutions
may be increased, in spite Of the
fact that the profit on an in
dividual mortgage may be de-
creased.
Deposits will bound upward,
because of new money pouring
into the hands of manufacturers
and distributors in the home
building world, and because Of
the millions of dollars put into
circulation through unemployment
of jobless workers.
SOunder Appraisals Used
Another point is the fact that,
in all probability, the new mort
cages will be based on a sounder
valuation of property. This can
not help but assist mortgage in
situations.
One of the most important Of
the possible effects Of the national
housing program will be it's re-
vivification of the durable goods
industries. Among the last to
feel any upswing in business, the
durable goods industries will
find treir wheels turning once
more when the housing campaign
is under way.
1t is more than a Campaign"
however. It is likely to be a
permanent portion of the New
Deal.
