Scientists Claim Brain

The theory that brains and Drawn

by a group Of scientists who had
assembled to discuss the worlds ills
and how to cure them. A large chest
expansion is a symbol of mental
breadth, 1t was said, while a narrow
chest denotes compressed intelli-
gence. Children who are the best
students, surveys have shown, are
those with the biggest chests. Stats
ties were called in to show that more
successful persons, as a rule, have
more generous height and girth meas
urements than their less fortunate
neighbors. Thus the idea of brain
power being associated with Drawn
has been elevated somewhat from

CURED. Thousands Of banks have
taken on a new type Of loan and
placed at the disposal of the home
owners borrowing facilities which were
not in existence ':ss than a year ago. "
Speaking of the mutual mortgage
insurance phase Of F. H. A. activities,
Mr.. Dearing continued
THE Federal Housing Administra-
ton is developing Nationwide sys-
tenn for home financing to bring order
out of chaos, which has existed in
the mortgage markets. We have been
accustomed to mortgages which con-
tanned no provision for amortization
of the principal. The necessity of re-
newal has caused endless trouble and
grief. The system of mutual mort
gage insurance was not established
long ago to solve these difficulties be-
cause never before did both borrowers
and lenders realize at the same time
the faults of the old system. This was
a national need and Congress then
acted to solve this situation by passing

LUMBER SHIPPING

Production.

Shipments and new business at the
lumber mills during the week ended
May IS, 1895, as well as production,
dropped to January levels, the Ma

facturers reported. New business, how
ever, was SO per cent above produc-

Compared with corresponding week
of last year. production of reporting
identical mills shows IS per cent de-
cline; shipments, gain of IL per cent
over those Of last year; orders, gain

These comparisons are based upon
telegraphic reports to the national as

StockhOlm's SmalLHousing
Scheme Explained in Booklet

The forest products division Of the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce has published booklet by
its retiri.lg chief, Axel Oxholm, en-
titled THE Small Housing Scheme Of
the City of Stockholm" The Sig
nificance of this booklet to the hous-
ing industry is that following the
general custom of Northern Europe,
these suburban houses are OF wood
construction, and since the Winters
are somewhat severe this type OF con-
struction offers advantages on account
of the heat insulating properties OF
wood"
Another feature Of interest regard
ing this housing project is that the
structural parts of Lhe houses are
standardized and the wall sections,
prefabricated at the mill, arrive on
the building site ready for erection.
Thus the City of Stockholm seems to
be somewhat ahead Of the American
advocates Of the manufactured house.
The project Is located on 10000
acre tract of land within a radius Of
nine miles from the center of the
City of Stockholm. Purchasers of the
houses are not required to buy the
Evening star., 1935-05-25

lots on which the individual houses
stand, but they are leased to them on
a 60-year basis with the option of
renewing the lease under certain con-
dftlons. On the other hand, II the
leases Is terminated, the city must
pay for the buildings and other i'm
provementS at a fair valuation. The
rental averages about IL cents per
square foot year. The customary
size of lot is about $500 square feet.
The typical house contains a base
ment where are the garage and work
shop, a FIRST floor which includes a
living room, kitchen and hall, and a
second floor with two bed rooms.
The purchaser works on the erec-
ton of his own home and owing to
the system OF prefabrication and
Standardization he can do most Of the
work not requiring special skill. The
estimated labor cost, outside skilled
labor, provided by the city. is about
$500 and the prospective owner con-
tributes so per cent. The down pay
ment is $50 and installments extended
over 80 years. The houses vary in
cost. according to type, from $2,550
to $3,025. The total annual charges,
Evening star., 1935-05-25

including instellments. ground rent,
taxes, fire insurance, etc, are $3.50 so
for the largest house and s2OO.50 for
the smallest.

been brought to the attention Of the
several Federal authorities interested
