A Joke on Two.

we all like to excel in something. So,
as he few on his broad, silent wings,
he was thinking of Lightfoot's chagrin
and was not playing as close attention
to things as he should have been. He
wasn't using his eyes as well as he
could have and should have done.
Ahead of him was little clearing.
In the middle of it was a black stump
of a tree; at least that is what it
looked like. Some years before the
Red Terror, that we call fire, had
burned that part of the Green Forest
and had left the blackened Stumps Of
trees. If Hooty had not been think
ing of other things it might have oc-
Cured to HIM that never before had
he noticed a stump in that particular
spot But he was thinking of other
things, as you know.
Without thinking anything about
it he headed for that black stump. He
would sit on it for while and see If
by hooting he could frighten some one
near by into giving himself away by
movement of fear.
Now you know that Hooty flies
without sound. In the dusk he 1eems
like merely a moving shadow. So he
seemed to drift over to that black
stump. He dropped his feathered legs
with the great curved claws of the
feet widespread to alight on the top
of the stump. 1t was perfectly still
there in the Green Forest. 1t was as
quiet and peaceful as a place could
be. Then in an instant all was
changed 1t wasn't quiet and peace
full there at all. Such a racket as
broke loose There was a Shrek from
Hooty and mingled with it was an
other entirely different Shrek, fol-
lowed by whimpering sound and the
crash Of brush and dried sticks.
Meanwhile, Hooty was beating his
big wings frantically. getting away
from there as quietly as possible. For
the moment he was a badly scared
Owl, but no worse scared than was
that runaway stump. What is that?
Why, that stump was Buster Bear.
Yes, sir, it was Buster Bear. He had
reached that clearing just a moment
before the arrival of Hooty. He had
stood up, as he often does. and he
was standing there perfectly still lis
tening and testing the air with hA
nose. His back was toward Hooty, and
so he had been mistaken for the black
ened stump of tree. 1t was a joke
on Hooty and joke on Buster, but
neither could see the joke at the time.

Having first assured himself that
Harmon was indeed a serious rival in
the lists of love, he set in motion the
train which would once and for all
prove to Judy his own physical
prowess and intrepidity. He an
nounced one day to her that he was
starting a species of training at the
gymnasium. Judy was surprised, and
at once began to regard him in a new
light.
A MUSED reports soon began to
reach Judy that on three nights
week the said professor could be
viewed at the gymnasium going
through motions with dumbbells, work.
ing the rowing machine and trotting
about the track on the balcony. Judy,
too, was amused. But it also made
her think, which is just what the pro-
fessor wished.
After a month of this unusual be-
havior he judged the time to be ripe
for the elimination of his little plot.
1t must be said in his favor that the
scheme was simplicity itself. He hired
a husky baggage smasher from the
| depot to accost him and Judy on one
of their nocturnal rambles along the
dark, tree-shaded walks on the campus.
He, the professor, would give battle
and drive the rufian away, thus very
simply demonstrating his worth in
Judy's eyes.
The night he had selected for the
little drama was perfect, the moon
being hidden by clouds. Hawkins set
out with Judy down the campus, regu-
lating their pace to meet his accom-
plice at a specified spot.
ITO HIS surprise, he saw him ap-
preaching through the darkness
before they had reached the place
agreed upon. But genius Is seldom
bothered by small irregularities. AS
his hireling approached and started to
speak, Hawkins lashed out with his
fist.
He felt pain in his knuckles as
they connected with hard, firm flesh,
and then a below of surprised rage,
just before lights began to swim before
his eyes and a black cloud seemed to
envelop him When he opened his
eyes, he was lying prone, and his jaw
ached terribly.
He opened them just in time to
see Judy, her powerful frame lighter
blur in the darkness, lift her arm
and strike once and again. The other
blur sank gently to the walk sound
leSsly. AS she bent and stroked his
aching head, the professor heard her
say: THAT brute Of Harmon, pick
ing on a little man like you! I can
see that you need some one to take
care of you'll"
The professor. still the logician,
thought fast. It panied his Jaw to
move it, but he smiled weakly and
took her hand. "You can set the
date, Judy" He arose painfully. and
they walked of, leaving behind the
rival for the hand of Punchin' Judy.

STANDARD REPORT.
PROGRAM ADOPTED.
Home Loan Bank Board
Agrees on Form for
Making Returns.

Uniform standard reports of finan-
cial condition from savings and loan
associations have been agreed upon
by the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, State banking supervisors and
the United States Building and Loan
League, it is announced in the current
issue Of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Review.
BY this long needed step, affecting
some 10000 institutions and all of
the States, the associations and public
regulating authorities expect to elm
mate the confusion and the waste of
time and expense that have been in
separable from the use Of 40 different
forms Of reports previously employed
in the various States and the District
Of Columbia.
The standard form consists of four
basic elements-the balance sheet, the
profit and loss statement, the distri-
button of earnings statement and sup
porting schedules. They are designed
to present the required information in
concise form. They have been unan-
imously approved by the National AS
sociation of Building and Loan Super
visors for adoption by all State
supervisors and have already been
adopted by the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board for use by the II Federal
Home Loan Banks, the Federal Saw
ings and Loan Insurance Corp. and
the savings and loan division in re-
quiring periodic reports from the asSo-
Citations concerned and for applications
for bank membership, insurance ap-
proval or conversion to Federal
charter. State-chartered associations
which are members of the Federal
Home Loan Bank System or whose
investors accounts are insured with
the Federal Savings and Loan Insur-
ance Corp. will now be able to meet
the requirements Of those agencies and
of their respective State authorities
with an identical form Of report.
Copies of the revised forms are repro
duced in the December issue Of the
review.

and chuckled. Lightfoot began to be
little annoyed. What is all this
chuckling about?" he asked very
sharply.
These are not my ears that you
see," replied Hooty. Those are just
a couple of tufts Of feathers. They
have nothing to do with my ears. a
lot of people think they are ears, but
that is where they get fooled. My
ears are on the sides of my head and
not up on top. They say that have
the biggest openings to my ears in the
Green Forest, and that is why have
such wonderful hearing. You can't see
those openings because they are COW
cred with feathers.
"Oh!" said Lightfoot rather lamely.
He felt little chagrined. for he was
very proud of his hearing and he
didn't like to admit that any one else
had better hearing. Presently he went
on about his business and Hooty flew
to another part of the Green Forest.
Perhaps it was natural that Hooty
should be rather tickled over the sue
cess of his test of hearing. You know,

ACT HELD BOOST
TO HOME OWNING
Missouri Banker Declares
Realty Financing Has
Been ReVoIutiOnized.

The national housing act has
succeeded in revolutionizing the prin-
ciples and methods of real estate
financing while making the Nations
economic structure more sound, in
the opinion of Dale M. Thompson,
vice president of the City National
Bank g. Trust Co. and City Bond &
Mortgage Co. Of Kansas City, Mo.
1T is our conviction, based on our
experience as mortgages under the
national housing act" he said,
that home ownership is made more
attractive and secure and that home
owning is greatly stimulated as a
consequence.
1--WE recognize the fact that the
housing act offers us an opportu-
nifty to make a reasonable profit, and.
while the lenders compensation is
not large, the opportunity for profit
exists because the plan meets the
needs of so many borrowers that it
results in substantial volume.
Our further experience leads US
to believe this plan Of financing is
fundamentally sound, for the bor-
rover and thus unavoidably so for
the lender.
Fortunately, not only those who
wish to purchase homes can avail
themselves of this sound, single
monthly payment plan Of home
financing These same advantages
are offered to those who wish to re-
finance their present homes.
I'm conclusion, is it not reason
able to assume that the availability
Of this plan will increase the urge
to home ownership. will lessen the
number of foreclosures. and will make
better credit risks Of those who take
advantage of it? We are convinced
that this is a far-sighted program
and that as long as it continues to
be administered, as at present, by
capable, fair minded, intelligent men
it will do much to make home owner
ship more secure and thus to stabil-
ize our social and economic struc-
ture."

BLIGHT PREVENTED
IN NE|GHBORHOODS
Subdividing Cities Into Units,
Largely SeIf-SuStaining,
Is Plan.

Factors that have caused the de-
terioration Of home neighborhoods
are no longer beyond control, ac-
cording to an article in the current
number of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Review, the fifth of a series
on neighborhood standards necessary
to safety of mortgage investment.
New neighborhoods may be pro-
tected from decay and rundown
districts may be measurably restored
through a gradual subdivision Of our
cities into neighborhood units, largely
self-contained, the article asserts.
Through traffic arteries automatically
constitute the boundaries of such
units, since freedom from trafflc
hazards is essential to successful de-
veIopment Of home area.
The size of the neighborhood area
is determined chiefly by the popula-
ton necessary to support an ele-
mentary school. usually 1000 to 5000,
and by the proximity of the school.
It's radius may vary from one-quar-
ter to one-half of a mile. depending
on the distance from the center of
the city, the one mile square dimen-
sion being feasible in the suburbs.
Shopping districts along the boun-
Diary streets would thus be within
convenient walking distance from
any part of the area.
Another requirement of the neigh
borhood is that it possess an identity
of its own in which the occupants
may take pride. The article empha-
sizes the great value of voluntary
neighborhood associations, organized
to improve the public services and
to prevent undesirable encroach-
ments, pointing out that such groups
rarely develop in areas occupied by
more than 5000 people.
can area measuring from one-half
to one mile on a side, depending on
its location, is ideal for community
of medium-coSt single-family homes
because it encourages efficient neigh
borhood services, traffic safety and
neighborhood character" the article
concludes. The home financing in
stitution therefore should keep this
standard in mind when considering
investment in a new subdivision. Its
establishment as an ideal will en-
courage both city authorities and
realtors to work toward such stand

lead the yirile life of a herman. He
could and did, with some amount OF
pride, trace his ancestry back to that
famous Capt. Hawkins, whom history
has hallowed for certain swashbuckling
exploits in strange lands to the ad-
vantage of fair lady.
Prof. Hawkins accepted this agree
able history as an admirable precedent,
for at last romance had come to him,
along with its sometimes annoying ac-
compartment of dificulty-a rival in
the field.
The object of his romantic resolve
was Judy, the proprietress Of a small
tea shop near the campus. A woman

charming reticence of a much younger

attaining his ends. Judy went away
upon a vacation, and her successor
failed to accord to the professor the

a card. IT am usually at home every

And that was the prosaic beginning
Of their affair. Before many weeks

Three places for the initial settlement are under consideration-the Matanus- ka Valley will probably be chosen for this settlement. If the settle ment is as successful as the Delegate believe es it will be, it appears that eventually at least 500 families will be established in the Territory. The Delegate believes, upon advice re- ceived from official quarters, that this plan for the initial settlement is certain to be carried out.
