en- the influence of the American
home constitutes not only the great
est service to our country, but also
our own most important patriotic duty
and responsibility. II we can sufi-
GENTLY improve and strengthen the
influence Of the American home, we
need not worry about the future OF
our country or its institutions, but If
we are remiss we must sooner or later
find that these institutions will perish
from the earth
May we then not plead with all
who represent these two great foun-
dations Of government, the home and
the school. to join with the Federal
Housing Administration in doing
everything possible that the American
people may take full advantage Of the
national housing act. This is the
surest and safest road to a general
and permanent return OF prosperity.
Recently an amendment has in
creased the insurable amount obtain
able under Title I of the national
housing act from $4,000 to $50, 900,
which is applicable mostly to busi-
ness, industrial, educational . and
apartment buildings. A borrower with
a satisfactory income can obtain cash
and pay the money back over a period
not to exceed five years. BY paying
1t back in monthly intsallments he
is enabled to pay 1t back out Of his
regular earnings and the entire dis
count cost cannot in any event ex-
coed S. per hundred for one year.
Under this act a person with an
average income can buy. build or re-
finance a home with one-half Of the
initial investment now required. He
can start with only 20 per cent. which
must be in cash or IN a well-located
lot, or both, and borrow the remain
ing amount from an authorized lend
ing institution, paying it back in
monthly inStallments over a period
not to exceed 20 years. Taxes and
fire insurance must also be included
in these installments. He pays per
cent interest on the mortgage, one
half of / per cent service charge to
the bank and one-half Of l per cent
insurance cost, making a total Of 6
per cent"

business transacted. Bearings office
Is exceeded in valuat on OF mortgage
insurance applications only py the
Newark district, Which includes por-
ton of New Jersey aud the State Of
PENNSYLVANIA, and the Los Angeles
district, including all Of California.
Speculative builders and land de-
velopers, bearing stated, have been
offering unusually fine cooperation
In recent weeks. He Said a large per-
centage of the leading home builders
in Washington had either applied for
or received preliminary Endorsement of
their homes for mo, tgage insurance.
New Policy Instituted.
bearing has instituted a new policy
of cooperation with speculative build
ers which he believes will prove bene-
fetal to all persons concerned. When
q builder has completed house he
may obtain preliminary approval for
mortgage insurance from F. H. A. so
that when a purchaser is found, If he
wishes to finance through the F. H. A.
plan, he will be saved the trouble and
delay attendant to fling application
for such insurance.
bearing believes that this system of
issuing preliminary approval OF a
house before it is sole will prove a
valuable selling argument for the
builder, as before the preliminary ap-
prevail is granted the structure must
pass the comparatively rigid require
ments as to neighborhood and con-
struction imposed bJ the Housing Ad-
ministration. So, Dearing points out,
the preliminary approval slip from
his Office will be regarded as a badge
of merit for the builder and will insure
the buyer against contracting for a
poorly built home.

over such O period Of time as his in
come Will warrant
ITO the community the advantages
are equally important. The lending
institutions are fully protected by
Government insurance, enabling them
to use their surplus funds practically
without any risk or loss, thus increas-
ing their earning power with perfect
safety. Under the Government plan
the lending institutions are no longer
forced into the real estate business
and consequently not compelled to
unload real estate holdings when
there Is no available market. Every
dealer In building materials and sup
plies Is paid in cash and does not
have to incur any credit losses.
Benefits 10 All.
There is not q single business or
professional institution in the COM
munity which is not directly and In
directly benefited by the increased
earning and buying power OF the
workers. Real estate sales and rental
values are increased. The whole COM
munity takes on more attractive
and inviting appearance, thus in
creasing the demand for homes.
In short, the Government housing
plan segregates the profits in the
building industry from practically all
the risk, gives to business its neces-
sary profit and protects against losses
by a sound and practical plan OF
insurance. Under the modernization
credit plan the cost Of this insurance
has been less than / per cent and
under the mortgage plan the entire
cost is paid by the borrower. Another
very important result Is the con-
version Of relief rolls into pay rolls,
thus reducing the burden Of the tax
payers to that extent.
ITO the Nation as q whole the ad-
vantages Of the national housing act
are necessarily similar to those OF
its separate communities. In re-
pairing and undermining approx
mately 1900, 900 homes and the build
ing Of 100000 new homes, which
constitute a most conservative esti-
mate of Americas needs, at least
one-third of the entire unemployed
population, or about 100000 men
and women, are taken out Of the bread
line and put back to work in prodta-
BILE employment, with practically no
cost to the taxpayers.
AT least 80 per cent Of young
criminals come from neglected homes.
do not mean poor homes. I mean
homes in which the children have
no interest and from which they stray
at an early age only to drift into
crime.
when we consider that crime costs
the American taxpayers $4,000 million
dollars annually-almoSt one-half Of
the entire national debt of the United
States, then we should have no hest
tation to determine where duty calls
us. We cannot escape the RESPONSE
bilities Of leading the youth Of Amer
lea in proper channels and few should
therefore consider It q great priv
ilege to help in the cause Of Kidding
our country of this unbearable crime
stigma and its consequent tax bur-
dens.

Tip on Sticking Doors.

The binding or sticking Of a door
against the door frame may be caused
by loose hinges, settlement of the
frame of the house, swelling of the
door or frame. or warping IF the
door. Plane the edges, preferably
along the hinge side, since these are
easier to remove than the lock. Var
nish or paint the freshly planned edges
Immediately.

Three million new and four million
modernized homes are conservative
estimate of Americas needs, former
Gov. A. o. Eberhart of Minnesota
declared in an address this week at
the Columbia University Summer
session.
Discussing THE School as a Ma
tional Home Builder" Eberhart char
acterized the national housing act as
the surest and safest road to a gen.
eral and permanent return of pros
perity." A third of the entire I'M
employed population could be absorbed
in rebuilding America with practically
no cost to taxpayers, he said, adding
that housing, vital to everybody, is
the one outstanding field today which
is not overcrowded.
Linking rehousing to the prevention
of crime costing almost one-half of
the national debt, Eberhart called the
movement Intelligent self1shness,"
which would better the whole Nation
while aiding the individual in his
struggle for success and happiness.
1.-THE building industry, next to
agriculture, is the most important of
our industries, employing approx
mately 100000 workers, including
those engaged In the manufacture of
durable goods" Eberhart asserted.
THE restoration Of the building in
dustry Is therefore essential to our
national recovery. 1t is the Nations
one great opportunity as well as duty
and responsibility.
100000 Jobs Undertaken.
Through direct and indirect re-
suits of the national housing act l.
100000 homes have already been
placed under repair or modernization.
Over 225 900 loans have been made by
about $500 lending institutions, which,
under this act, are insured by the
Government. These loans average
about $430 each, and up to this time
less than 80 of them have defaulted,
showing first that the 20 per cent
insurance furnished by the Govern
ment is more than adequate: and,
secondly, that the people are not in
duced to borrow beyond their ability
to pay.
For every dollar borrowed the rec
ords show S. in cash actually used
for similar purposes by owners who
are able to provide for their own
credit.
