NEW MARKET, Va, July 13,-
Mrs. Rebecca Colvin, mountaineer
woman, had big surprise and felt
herself honored Friday of last week,
when Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, with
her companion, Miss l.. A. Hickok,
stopped at the Colvin farm house
several miles south of here.
From there Mrs. Roosevelt came
across the mountain to Luray, spend
ing the night there. Little publicity
was given her Luray visit, and no men
ton of her stop at the farm home was
made until Mrs. Colvin came to New
Market for some groceries yesterday.
According to Mrs. Colvin, Mrs.
Roosevelt had been asked by Mrs.

Democrats in House Con-
slider Placing Majority on
Record Behind Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
House Democrats backing the
Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage ref
nancing bill yesterday considered fore
ing Democratic caucus with view
to putting the majority on record
behind the administration opposed
measure.
The bill calls for Government ref
nancing of the mortgages over a long
period through 100000 900 new
money issue.
A leader of the caucus idea, who de-
clared he did not wish to be identified
pending more definite decision, said
all that was delaying the move was
some uncertainty whether the majority
leaders might be able to pack the
caucus against the legislation.
IncenSed over Fridays Democratic
Steering Committee meeting to map
campaign to take signatures off the
petition to force the bill out Of the
Rules Committee to House vote, the
hackers Of the measure held an lin
dignation meeting" yesterday.
Representative Lemke, Republican,
Of North Dakota, co-author Of the
measure, told newspaper men after the
meeting. which he said was attended
mostly by Democrats:
1.-THE farmers Of this Nation are
again about to be betrayed and cheated
out of a vote on the Frazier-Lemke
refinance bill"
Explaining how the signers on the
petition had gone up and down close
to the needed ZIG mark, until it now
stands at 206, the North Dakotan said
the whips of the majority were called
together and requested to have names
taken of the petition.
These unfair tactics cannot, and
will not, succeed" ne said.
The great majority of Democratic
members as well as Republicans re-
sent this procedure, and feel that I'M
der the rules of ordinary fair play
and decency, we are entitled to a vote
on this bill, and we are going to get
it,"
Representative Binderup, Democrat,
of Nebraska, one of those interested
in the caucus move, expressed his favor
for the step and aSSailed the leaders
for campaigning against the petition.

Recovery of Private Fin ;
ing Likely to Lift Bur- =.
From Agency.

Scarcely two years after its Nation
wide organization first began function
ing and its first loans were closed for
the relief Of home mortgage distress,
the Home Owners Loan Corp. today
reports that up to September IL it
had refunded mortgages on 914,44s
urban homes. located in every State
and in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and
Alaska. The total dollar volume Of
the mortgages assumed amounts to
$2,761 ,999, 500, secured by properties
valued at about $4,026, 5000
Borrowers were given 15-year loans,
payable monthly in small installments
and bearing interest at only per
cent.
Applications for loans, numbering
1885, 1892, were received by the COR
poration. A large proportion Of these
proved ineligible under the law, which
confines assistance to small home
owners genuinely unable to repay their
original mortgage obligations, unable
to obtain refinancing elsewhere and
thus faced with loss Of their homes
by foreclosure. Approximately 220,-
900 applications are still pending with
the corporation. many of which may
be ineligible, while others may be re-
financed privately, in view Of recent
improvement in home finance.
The declining number Of new re-
quests for loans, during the recent
30-day period when Congress per-
mitted the filing of additional appli-
cations, indicates that the bulk Of
all necessitous cases has been taken
care Of. For the last year there has
been a progressive revival Of lending
by banks, building and loan associa-
tions, life insurance companies and
other private interests. Mortgage
money is again becoming plentiful and
at reasonable rates. These factors in
dicate that the emergency task Of the
corporation has now been practically
completed and that it may now con-
centrate attention on the servicing of
the loans which 1t has already made.

Neu Lawns Can Be Started

Attention Of home owners is called
at this time Of the year to the posi-
bilities for starting a new lawn or i'm
proving the quality and growth of an
old one, according to Walter r. Bal
lard, horticulturist for the University
of Maryland Extension Service. With
the coming of Fall rains, he points out,
lawn grasses resume active growth,
and for this reason home owners
should avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to reseed or thicken up the sod
of an old lawn through appropriate
feeding.
Lawns may be fed by means Of
chemical or organic fertilizers, &C
cording to Mr.. Ballard. Chemical fer
tilizers, such as sulfate of ammonia
or nitrate of soda, may be applied
as top dressing at the rate of or 3
pounds Of fertilizer for every 1000
square feet Of lawn. Danger OF burn
ing the lawn can be obviated by mix
ing the fertilizer with three to four
times the quantity of compost, sand
or gravel. Well-rotted manure may

been killed by composing.
Those preferting organic fertilizers
should use a mixture of equal parts

Of fertilizer to every 1000 square

she cried. I'm comparison with
O business like this, $4,000 is
nothing. Madame Hubert can
sell that diamond dog-collar Of
hers and the rest Of her jewels
can borrow on them"
Something like a sneer came
to O'Hara's face.
THAT diamond dog g-collar," he
said, "has been paste for the
last two years. The old lady is
a dead game sport, and she
threw everything she had into
the pot. No, the plain fact is
that we bit off too much. We
are over-built. You didn't know,
did you, that we have three
floors that aren't even furnished.
This plant has a capacity Of
four times the business we are
doing, and we've got to pay for
the excess. If Hubert has to
die, I hope it happens before she
realizes the crash has come"
It dawned upon Juliet that
O'Hara had not for an instant
thought about himself in This
dehacle. His despair was all for
the InStitute-for Madame HUI
bert.
A curious thing about this
place was that it had absorbed
her, too. She scarcely remem-
bered self. There was nothing
particularly admirable about
the busineSs-Juliet was smart
enough to know that a lot Of it
was pure charlatanry. Nor was
Madame Hubert a heroic figure.
Indeed, the harsh rusty crea-
ture showed little loveliness of
character and less Of personal
1ty, yet somehow she had ere
ated an atmosphere that had
worth and fascination.

"I don't know-pr bly,

none at all. Who knows? I'm
supposed to be general manager,
yet I know scarcely anything.
This whole business isn't made
up of cold creams and bricks
and real estate and people like
us. The whole thing is just an
idea that exists in the old lady's
skull. It's all there and when
she dies it dies with her."
The telephone rang. O'Hara
spoke into it briefly and then
listened. When he hung UP he
turned his back to Juliet and
looked silently out the window.
"Well?"
"1t looks like the last cur.
tain," he said despondently,
without turning. "Get on your
hat and coat, we're going to the
hospital. Won Guerdon is with
her and she has sent for us,
too. He says her condition
looks hlacker than ever. :"
Juliet went and stood behind
him. One Of her hands rested
on his shoulder. He reached
UP and took it in a tight clasp.
