CREDIT BASED
 ON CHARACTER
 SEEN GROWING
Loans for Modernization Develop New Ave-
 nues for Banks

ne m0dernlzatlOn creulC pro- gram of the Federal Housing Ad- ministration, which will continue in operation throughout 1855, is laying the foundation of a perma- nent system of consumer credit which will see the banks and other financial institutions of the cohn- try doing business in strictly char- acter loans long after the mod-- ernization provisions of the Na- tional Housing Act expire.
 This is the opinion of Federal Housing Administrator James A. Moffett, who in recent address pointed out that this Government agency is educating thousands of banks in a special kind of financ- ing in which few of them pre- vicusly had engaged. Tt would be a great misfortune to the country and a great loss to industry if this character lending came to 8 stop the last day of 1885" MT. Moffett asserted. That it will not come to a stop, we are convinced"
 Good Business
 The Housing Administrator said he believes the bankers will have learned that it is good business to lend money on character credit, regardless of whether the borrow CT wants to spend it on modern izing his home, or for anything else. He stressed the significance e4 these developments from the stand point of private industry which he said will have an opportunity to Go far more business than in the past due to the development of this lending policy. Heretofore, he esti- mated, only about $50 lending in stitutions had ever advanced money on character credit.
 Under the modernizStion creGit plan, property owners are enabled to borrow funds up to $2,00O for making repairs and improvements to their homes or business places. The funds are advanced by lending institutions approved by the Fed eral Housing Administration and all funds advanced by each insti- tuition are fully insured against loss up to 20 percent.
 Borrowers are given up to five years to repay these loans in reg ular periodic installments.
 Records Consulted
 Before offering to insure these loans,' MT. Moffett points out, l Uncle Sam consulted the country's records cn installment buying. He asked what had been the experi- ence of the few banks which up to last spring had made character loans, from the banks and from commercial organizations selling on the installment plans he learned that the average American is hon. est.
 @He learned that, when an Amer ican with a steady job promises to pay 50 much month until cer- tain debt is satisfied, it is perfectly safe to assume that the promise will be kept. Getting down to the bed rock of figures, the banks re- ported that their loss from char acter loans was just a little more than T of l percent. That per centage is handsome tribute to our national honesty.
 Now we believe that by Decem- Der 31, 1885, the date of expiration of the modernization campaign, or even earlier, American citizens will have proved over and over again that they are honest in buying re- pairs for their homes on the in stallment plan as they have been in buying sewing machines and radios on the inStallment plan.'

Tulip, the Wonder Flower

For centuries the tulip has been
looked upon as a wonder flower In
many countries, but 1t has long been
associated especially with the famous
tulip fields of Holland. 1t has often
been called "the flower that set ma
ton mad" because of the craze for
these gay but simple blossoms which
began In the Netherlands in 1891 and
reached its highest point in 1857. Dur
ing this period, when only two bulbs
of the September Augustus were to be
had, one was purchased for 1000
forms, a new carriage, two horses and
q complete set of harness, while the
other was sold for II acres of land.
This tulip mania reached such proper
lions that hundreds of families had
become impoverished and the govern
ment was forced to interfere and put
an end to the gambling in tulip bulbs.
