mary purpose for which they were
first organized over hundred years
ago." declared Mr.. Quinter. Unlike
other organizations which finance the
buying or building of homes along
with other activities, building and loan
associations have consistently main
taned their character as cooperative
enterprises. where the savings Of one
group of thrifty persons are collected
to be loaned out to others of small
or moderate means to build or buy
homes upon terms arranged to suit
their earning capacity. This record
holds good not only for the associa-
tions in the District of Columbia, but,
in a very real sense, for the associa-
tionS all over the United States, as
the figures released every year by
the national organization. the United
States Building and Loan League, show
that the average percentage Of assets
invested in home mortgages in the
various States runs between 80 and
80 per cent, in some States going as
high .as SO and "a per cent.
"The building and loan associations
Of the District have every reason to
feel that this record of service to the
home owners here, coupled with the
fact that no investor has ever lost
a penny Of savings intrusted to them,
entities them to the continued con-
fidence and support Of the public, and
this we confidently expect"

Building trades and kindred lines

In addition to q general up

should be lacked up to a level and
then reinforced. This may be done by
spiking a two-inch plank to the side
of the girder. In general, the lower
edge Of the plank should be on the
same level as the lower edge Of the
girder. Greater strength can be OBJ
tanned by spiking planks on both sides
of the girder. If necessary, bearing

N. B. c. Refusal of Credit
to Author of "Roses and
Drums" Criticized.
RY PETER DIXON.

RY PETER DIXON.
THE policies Of an organization
as great and as successful as
the National Broadcasting Co.
are probably sound ones, but
once in q while one hears Of
rulings that are inexplicable.
am puzzled over a recent ruling
concerning the program Roses and
Drums" and its author, James Glover.
A few weeks ago the sponsor de-
cided the ability of Mr.. Glover. as
author of the script, rated recognition
on the air. So "by James Glover"
was written into the opening an
nouncement. But N. B. c. refused to
permit the authors name to be men
toned on the air. The reason given
was that If credit were given to an
author, 1t would open the way to air
credits for production men and even
engineers.
I think N. B. c. Is very short sighted
II 1t retains such a policy. The listen
ing public has as much right to know
who writes q script as it has to know
who writes songs and who sings them.
Certainly, the name Of an author is
important to. play and is steadily
becoming more important to motion
pictures. N. B. c. probably realizes
that the policy of giving authors air
credit In time will develop important
regulations for some Of the authors
and said authors will be able to de-
mand and get larger checks for their
