LOANED.
FOR 1894 HOMES
U. S. Building and Loan
Unit Reports for October,
1885, Peak Month.

At least 1894 families financed
their homes or repairs on their pTup-
erty through savings, building and
loan associations to a total amount
Of $20.l37.o0o during the 1885 peak
month of lending, October. This report
was made public today by the United
States Building and Loan League,
which says that these figures represent
the lending activities Of one-eighth
of all the associations in existence,
having one-sixth Of the total resources
of all savings and loan institutions.
Using the sample as base, the loans
for the Nation as whole are probably
$1,000. totaling around SOS. .00o. 900 in
the one month. OF course, this Is
an estimate.
Morton Bodfsh, executive vice pres
ident of the league, emphasized that
one-fourth Of the home loans reported
by the 1889 associations were for
construction of homes, and another
10 per cent Of the disbursements were
for modernization and repairs, SO that
at least one-third of the credit being
extended by these community lending
institutions today Is helping make
jobs.
Compared with two years ago, this
breakdown Of the landing is especially
At that time scarcely or 9 per cent
OF current lending activity was for
new construction and home moderni-
zation combined.
The loans we're reported by associ-
ations having total assets of 81 ,090,-
061 ,341, and were grouped in five diff
ferent claSsifications according to
purpose Of the advance. While re-
financing continues as the leading
purpose among the five segregated, new
construction and home purchase loans
are steadily increasing in Importance.
Repair and modernization commit
ments accounted for one-fifth of the
number Of october borrowers from the
associations. Financing for other
purposes. such as the pledging of a
debt-free home In order to raise
money, accounted for the remainder
Of the loans.
The average size Of the various
type of loan reported is significant be-
cause it shows where the small and
middle income group of citizens are
getting perhaps the largest part of
their home financing" said Mr.. Bod
hsh. THE average construction loan
reported was about $2,s25; for the
repair and modernization loans 1t
was 1895: for rehnancing OF loans

on his head added to his troubles.
He found it difficult to think. Un-
able to make more than two yards on
two plunges, when he had the team
on Coke's ls-yard line. he dropped
back 10 yards and prepared to try q
drop kick.
Coke had been told of the trick
with which Chuck had beaten Malbern
and Immediately called time out to
talk the situation over. When play
was resumed the Coke forwards and
ends, instead Of rushing in madly to
block the kick. hesitated and then
came in slowly, expecting him to either
pass or run. Chuck bent over, dropped
the ball on its nose and lifted beauti-
full drop kick cleanly over the bar.
Colburn's rooters took hope. A
drop kick, even though it netted but 8
points, was something to cling to, to
cheer and TO stimulate faith in the
team. The period ended and the team
logged to the shower room.
Bertwell, usually very reserved and
dignified, was a wreck He stood out
side the door of the locker room as
the players filed in. Spike Immediately
busted himself wiping the faces of the
fatigued and begrimed players with a
towel dipped in ice water. It felt re-
freshfng to their wearied heads. Doc
Overtcn moved about with Pop Buk-
ley. tending the medical needs Of the
injured, and assistant managers
brought tea In paper cups to the play
ers.
After about 10 minutes, the door
to the room opened slowly. Bertwell
walked in. There was fire in his eyes.
He looked like man possessed. Be-
hind him was a man whose face
bore the marks Of lifelong suffering.
He was gaunt and his eyes looked
like holes in mask. A deadly still
ness fell over the group as Bertwell
and his companion stood in the CEN
ter Of the room looking into space.
Spike, sensing the tension, eased
out of the room with his towel and
his bucket Of ice water. The assist
ant managers followed his example.
They had never seen Bertwell look
so terribly bothered. If there were
going to be any fireworks, they didn't
want to be around to get the sparks.
Even Pop Bukley and Doc Overton
nodded understandingly to each other,
and quietly left the room.
II don't think there's a man here
who knows who this gentleman at
my side is," said Bertwell with evident
emotion. you're all too young.
Twenty-Five years ago his name was
famous throughout the country. Fa-
nous for foot ball. For the greatest
end play Colburn or any other coll
lege ever saw. His name is written
deeper into Colburn's history than
any other man I know Of. Deeper
than that Of Pierce, Rankin and
Marshall. This, gentlemen, is RIP"

FEDERAL HOUSING
PROJECT IS BEGUN
rs Homes viii Be Built for
U. S. Employees in
Braddock Heights.

Work has heen started on Is ssruc-
lures Of the cooperative housing prof.
ect for Government employees in Brad
dock, Heights, Alexandria, and 1t Is
expected that some of the dwellings
will be completed this month, 1t was
announced today by the Housing Com
mittee of the Department Of Agrtcul-
ture, which is sponsoring the project.
Collective bargaining, landscaping,
purchasing and collective social ac-
tivities promise to be among the ad-
vantages Of the residents of the Sec
ton. A committee of five, including
the present Executive Committee Of
the Community Planning Association,
will study the feasibility of cooper
Ntive action Of all sorts.
Lower Monthly Payments.
Members Of this group, largely COM
posed Of employees of the Agriculture
Department, are finding that monthly
payments will run about 35 per cent
less than rentals for the same house
value. There are to be about 40 houses
built in all.
The homes, situated above Jeffer-
son Park, constitute pleasant vii
lage largely of Colonial design. Co.
operative action of the group is in
suring the safest guarantee in financ-
ing, low payments, architectural in
spection, title and other matters of
vital importance.
Over IS contracts have already been
signed and construction and conven-
fences are rapidly progressing. A few
more very desirable lots In the project
are now available, and If they are Sc
lected before December Is it will mean
o saving of $3.50 to the builder, in
addition to the valuable savings of
about 90 per cent which is realized in
collective building buying and the
avoidance of all selling costs.
Voluntary Committee.
A voluntary committee Of three
members in the Department of Agri-
culture Is answering all questions
about the project, and since the plan
is in no way a sales plan, all Govern
ment employees are invited to inquire
about it from Roger Matteson, H. z.
Bradburn and Robert Bonnar, all of
the Agriculture Department.
It is planned that when this project
has been completed other provisions
of homes and apartments will be
pushed by the Housing Committee of
the Department Of Agriculture In an
attempt to adequately house all en-
ployes.

vance into scoring territory. Coke,
with lead Of z to was playing care
fully, taking no chances and using
good Judgment.
Chuck tried to build up his sequence
OF plays, but always something would
happen to ruin everything. Hoff-
meister fumbled once when everything
was going along in grand style. Coke
intercepted Colburn pass that was
certain to go for touchdown. And
when a Crimson back got past the line
of scrimmage he was either tackled or
stumbled over his 1wn feet.
Early In the third period Chuck.
seeing an easy chance for q field goal,
stepped back and booted the ball over
the bar. It was q 3e-yard boot from
q slight angle, and the crowd roared
its pleasure at the feat. Colburn
rooters were hoping and praying for
another kick or touchdown. Either
would win the ball game. It didn't
matter which.
Throughout the entire game Chuck
used good strategy. It happened that
Coke was too strong to allow Colburn
to score by way Of the land or air
routes. But his judgment was un-
questionable. He felt that lie was
playing about as good game as he
was capable Of playing, even though
Colburn was still on the wrong end Of
the score.
When the final whistle blew Colburn
gathered their forces on the field, and
weary and heartSick as they we're,
gave Coke lusty cheer. The Colburn
student body stood in the east stand
and sang with loud voices, but sad
dened hearts, "Old Colburn, Dear
Colburn."
1t was terrific blow to the players.
They had hoped for an undefeated
season, and now that Coke had taken
them there was not much to look
forward to. When the team got to the
dressing room Coach Bertwell was
there. Starting with Capt. Minton, he
shook hands with every player on the
team, and in a way that convinced
them that, even in defeat, he was with
them.
AS soon as Chuck showered and
dressed he hastened over to the en-
trance of the stadium to see Nancy.
The team was to leave on the o'clock
train, so he felt there was plenty Of
time. Hello. Chuck darling" screamed
Nancy when she saw him lmping to-
ward her. what In the name Of
heaven happened to you? Is your leg
hurt badly?"
"No, it's nothing. Just q little
sprain or a twist. How are you.
Nancy. dear? So good to see you
again"
I'm so sorry you lost, Chuck, ]
could cry. Really could"
"Oh, you have to expect that once
In a while, guess"
"I think I'll be running along to
see the boys" said Barkley. "I'll
meet you wherever you say, Chuck,
later on, and take Nancy to the sta
ton for you"
Thanks, Sam. I think III have
time to take her there"
