CREDIT FOR HOMES

DREsIDENT ROOSEvELTS appeal to the
Il Governors is a tacit admission that the
private mortgage business in many states is
not yet ready to take over the job Of pro-
viding credit for present and prospective home
owners.
II that is true the doors Of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation should be reopened
to distressed loan applicants. Senator Wagner
Of New York will ask Congress to increase
the Holes lending capacity by an addition
al one billion dollars. Other congressman sug-
gest increases Of two and three billions. Since
the Government does not want to get any
deeper into the home financing business than
it has to. Senator Wagner's proposal seems
wiser.
Home building and financing can be ham
died adequately by private agencies when the
Federal Housing Administrations plan, to
eliminate second trusts and insure first mort
cages up to so per cent Of the appraised value,
becomes effective throughout the country. But
in many states, existing laws will not per-
nit the operation of this system. President
Roosevelt nov asks the governors to have
these state barriers removed.
The depression wrecked the 21billion-
dollar home mortgage market. If the Hole
had not stepped in, hundreds of thousands
of nome owners would have been turned into
the streets. and thousands of others would
have lost savings tied up in banks and in
building and loan organizations. In many
states. moratoria laws ended the willingness
OF lenders to risk mortgage investments.
To restore this valuable mortgage market
and encourage more ownership, the FILA in
auguated a program to insure mortgages,
reduce and standardze interest charges. SIM
pity foreclosures. stop forced sales and there
by give needed stability to the general real
estate market. It is a plan to protect both
lenders and Borrowers and should in time pro-
mote a steady increase in home building.
But until state laws are revamped as the
Pr dent suggests, the HOLC should remain
a place of last resort for those whose home
fnalcing difficulties can not be solved through
private agencies.

FOOD, HEALTH OF
TRANSMITS IMPORTANT.

By a Reader.
A study of the history of medicine
reveals that people who travel and
slaves who are moved from one dis
tant place to another, are dangerous
disease carriers. Powerful nations
have been weakened, if not ruined,
by the diseases of their slaves.
Our staff of social workers. who
are responsible for the care of our
indianapolis transientS are to be
commended for their efforts to pro-
vide warm clothing, nourishing
food, an atmosphere Of peace and
quietness which aid rest and diges-
ton, cleanliness and all the cther
blessings which increase resistance
to disease.
The transients are receiving an
abundance of food. Considerable
bulky foods, which correspond to
roughness in the feeding of cattle,
are provided. This is a splendid
thing because it makes for clean
digestive tracts, thus giving the boys
change to recover from their
colds.
In green vegetables, such as let
tuce, the boys receive vitamin A,
which makes their resistance to dis
ease possible. True, not very large
amounts of vitamin A are required;
but that small amount which may
be found in two eggs or a quart Of
whole milk is needed every day. Ex-
perience with cod liver oil indicates
that there is little danger Of any one
being injured by eating super
abundance Of these food qualities.

Irish VS.. Pe.gler

Dutchmen. I disagree with him.
1 believe that the Irish could lick
their weight should it be possible
to include the whole world
The champions, Willard,
Schmeling, and the so-called Jack
Sharkey, can say to themselves
that "tis better to be born lucky
than rich" because they didn't
have any Irish to meet. Jack
Johnson was pugilist, but he
wasn't Irish.
Fair enough" for McTigue. Note
he won from Sikh in Dublin on ST..
Patrick's Day and it would seem
he should thank James A. Farley
for his second victory
Mr.. Pegler also reminds that
Joe Lynch lis an American out of
that section of New York City
known as Hell's Kitchen" Thanks.
1t seems, according to Mr.. Peg
Ter, also that McTigue will sell his
saloon in New York if he is as
sured sufficient remuneration to
go back to Ireland. Many of the
Irish had to settle in New York
City because they lacked fare to
come farther west, and many also
joined the police force and ran
saloons because they were denied
the chance Of a literary or tech
nical education in their native
land by the form of government
under which they had to exist.
Mr. Pegler writes we'll if he
would only try to identify himself
with little more reason, truth
and common sense argument.

SCIENCE PAYS

A FTER more than year Of study Presi-
A dent h 7osoveits Science Advisory Board,
headed by DR.. Karl T. Compton of MaSsa
chu-etts Institute Of Technology. recommends
a 16-m.llicn-do six-year program covering
all phases of scientific research.
We know of no better public investment
The research men of some 40 bureaus are the
spending of public money will not bring dy
manic recovery. But a few millions spent on
science can bring back billions in wealth and
wcn-bcing. Inventions like the automobile
end new processes like rayon manufacture
have CHARGED and vitalizcd our whole indus
trial system Behind these is the patient and
underpaid toll of nameless men of science.
This report shows the damage done to re-
search by short sighted economy. The plight
OF scientists who are essential to the future
life OF the country. is pathetic we learn. I'm
less this class of Americans is encouraged two
unhappy results will follow:
First. these men will drift down into the
more unskilled labor class or the competitive
business class. increasing the distress in these
classes; second. ambitious and able young men
will be discouraged from entering a career in
science or engineering. thus paving the way
for great economic and intellectual loss in the
near future"
We now spend only one-half of one per cent
OF the federal budget on scientific research.
In an age of science this is an Indictment of
our intelligence.

1t Is important to remember that
the extremes to which some faddish

an excess of vitamins should not
blind the public to the needs of

Too, complete diets will lessen

services of the medical department

The fact all of the boys who need

BY John ID. Danaher.
With a wealth of sarcasm and
insinuation Westbrook Pegler seeks
to establish the inaccuracy of the
tradition concerning the superior
ity of the Irish as pugilists.
I glory in the accomplishments
of the Celt in boxing and athletics
and after subtracting all his short
comings he still has big balance
of glory to his credit.
Mr.. Pegler tries to show that
John l." wasn't Irish. Why he
may as we'll seek to assert that
DR.. Hallahan or T. K. Kiely is
not Irish. The latter we're not
pugilists, but they we're about the
most renowned athletes the world
ever knew. John L., Corbett, Fitz,
Tom Sharkey, Dempsey, Tunney,
Loughran, Walker, ct cetera, were
and are all as Irish as "Paddy's
Pig" for the simple reason that
because a man is born in a stable,
he is not a horse.
All credit to Jimmy McLarnin,
but he is not an Irishman. He is
no more than a Celt.
We had as many pugilists in this
country who were Irish as those
with Irish names, because, like
Lindbergh and hosts of others, their
maternal sides we're Irish. The
most and best comes from the
mother.

Capital Capers

DIPLOMATS are mumbling and grumblng
~ about the publicity which little Finland is
getting out of the payment OF her debt to the
United States.
When retiring Finnish Minister Astrom
marched into the State Department to present
the check of his government to Undersecretary
Phillips, he was eagerly snapped by photogra-
piers. His broad, sheep-ike face was wreatheo
in smiles

camera man.

Mr.. Phillips with outstretched hand reached
for the bit of paper. Snap went the cameras
More smiles. More handshakes.

foreign nation pays her debt to the United
States-thats first page news" sighed an envoy
who wistfully watched the scene.

worth more to Finland than the few thousands
she paid to Uncle Sam. And the other diplo-
