RY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated HreSS.
CHICAGO, October six persons
were known to be dead and % injured
in an explosion at the Glidden Soya
Products Co. on Chicago's West Side
today
A Surging sheet of flame enveloped
the structure. puffed out the walls
reduced most of the building to pile
of smoking ashes.
The probable death list was given
first as 25, as it was not known how
many employees were in the building.
Later it was established that prob
ably 40 were in the building at the
time.
The Glidden Co. is located at 1840
North Laramie avenue. Adjoining it
are buildings housing the Nubian Paint
& Varnish Co. and the Holland Paint
q Varnish Co, subsidiaries. 1t was
first reported the explosion occurred
in those plants.
Confusion Envelopes Scene.
Screaming ambulance and police
sirens, the shouts of panic-stricken
mothers and the means of the hurt
caused a scene Of indescribable con-
fusion.
William F. Dozier, a laundry truck
driver. said he was knocked to the
ground three blocks away by the force
of the explosion.
Il was stepping out of the truck" ="
he said, when there was a terrific
explosion and I found myself on the
pavement. I looked up and saw hugh
clouds of smoke coming from build
ing three blocks away. The sky was
covered with flying wreckage. 1t
looked to me as though a gigantic
flock of ducks were flying by. I got
up off the pavement and ran to the
scene"
Mile-Square Area Rocked.
The blast rocked a territory almost
a mile square. Freight cars on a
siding adjoining the building were
blown apart, several dozen automobiles
parked in a lot nearby were f1attened
out, an aerial passageway leading
from that building to several others
and at least three small nearby brick
buildings were destroyed.
Richard Bourgerie, working on the
second floor of an adjoining building,
was knocked down and dazed by the
blast. As he clambered to his feet,
he said, screaming, blood-covered were
staggering from the building. He said
he saw one man lying on the ground
with a one-ton flywheel on top of him.
A chaplain from a nearby fire sta
ton administered last rites to the
dying.

LOAN INSURANCE

Deputy Head Of r. H. A.
Holds Guarantee Profit.
able for Lender.

Insured mortgages, as provided by
the national housing act, are becom-
ing a permanent addition to the bank
ing practice of the Nation, according
to J. Howard Ardrey. deputy admins
traitor, Federal Housing Administra-
tion.
The superiority Of such mortgages
over the usual type of residential
financing includes many benefits TO
both the borrower and the lender, he
observed.
Profitable for Lender.
From the lenders point of view,"
Mr. Ardrey said, "he has not only a
profitable investment, but one which
will always remain profitable invest
ment. An insured mortgage can be
granted with the certainty that the
lender will not need to depend upon
the sale of the collateral in case of
default. In other words, bank whose
mortgage investment portfolio includes
only insured mortgages will never be
in the real estate business"
There Is a measure of safety for
insured mortgages found in few other
forms of investment, according to Mr.
Ardrey. When an insured mortgage
defaults. the lender simply transfers
all claims under the mortgage on the
property to the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration. Thereupon he receives
payment for that part of the loan
that remains outstanding.
Lender Saves Self Bother.
Through this practice the lending
institution saves itself a large amount
OF bother, expense and the uncer-
tainty of attempting to safeguard its
investment by selling the property.
Mr.. Ardrey also considers the Ma
tion-wide standards of practice in the
mortgage lending set-up under the
mutual mortgage insurance plan to be
an outstanding feature of the ma
tional housing act. He maintains that
the greater possibility for liquidity
and the ease with which the type and
value of this investment may be
judged by bank examiners to be mill
tant factors in the eventual creation
OF sound mortgage market.

Construction in Maryland
Is Reported Best Since 1880

by Mr.. williams as the reason for the
upturn.
The improvement in construction
figures. which, for May, showed large
gains over March and April, centers
in residential and industrial building,
with huge sums also being spent on
improvement and modernization, Mr..
Williams said He added:
Every classification of building is
taking part in the upturn, and it must
be noted that improvement in these
lines was the first to be shown after
the economic slump of 1920-2l.
I'm the Baltimore area, with suburbs
showing great activity, building is way
on the upturn. with a trend toward
the country territory surrounding the
city being shown. Many businesses
are improving their plants and are
ready to take care OF general business
betterment.
We believe the building figures show
that the country is in better shape
than generally thought. Banks and
building associations report greater
activity and real estate is showing
great vigor."
