Most Insured Loans Found
in Repositories, FIem-
ing Reveals.

The banks of the Nation account
for considerably more of the mort.
cages and modernization loans that
the Federal Housing Administration
is insuring than all other classes Of
institutions combined" it is stated in
a letter which Robert v. Fleming,
first vice president of the American
Bankers Association and president Of
Riggs National Bank of Washington,
has addressed to all members of the
association. At the time the Housing
Administration began operations a
year ago the association, which de-
clared its sympath. with the detectives
of the national housing act. designated
Mr.. Fleming to act as its liaison repre-
sentative to cooperate with the Fed
eral Housing Administration.
Il am advised that in this short
space of time the volume of credit
extended for modernization OF prop
etry and mortgages selected for APP
praisal to be insured on dwellings has
reached the total of 1921 1904. 1897, and
the daily volume is steadily increas-
ing" Mr.. Fleming's letter says in part.
"A very substantial part of the resi-
dental construction, the property re-
pairs and the manufacture of build
ing materials, equipment and ma
chinery, etc. thus stimulated is due
directly to the active participation Of
our members in the insured mortgage
plan and the modernization credit
plan of the F. H. A. In fact, the banks
of the country to date account for
considerably more of the mortgages
and modernization loans that the
F. H. A. is insuring than all other
classes of institutions combined.
In view of the fact that we be-
lieve the provisions of the national
housing act afford a medium whereby
the banks of the country can mate
rally assist in economic recovery and
render a further useful service to
their communities, as we'll as obtain
safe and sound earning asset, I
feel it is desirable to call to the atten-
ton of our members that certain adj
ditional measures recently adopted by
Congress are designed to make the
original law more workable and broad

one thing most of all needed to
strengthen the mortgage structure is
provision to give the mortgage market
ability.
Study Fletcher Bill.
To give this important needed ele-

Association in urging the passage OF
the Fletcher bill now before Congress.
The bill, introduced by Duncan u.
Fletcher of Florida, chairman Of the
Banking and Currency Committee OF

every important group concerned with
the future of long-term credit flow. 1t

the Federal Government contingent on

bank would be empowered to buy sound

Cherry Stain Effective.

In Colonial house it may be found
effective to stain floors a dull CHEEKY
color. Varnish or wax over the color
to preserve it. This color makes an
appropriate background for bright
hooked rugs and light maple furnish
ings. A proper tone of blue green used
as a floor border and recalled in the
other furnishings will contrast pleas
ingly with the dull cherry color.

Our Native Wild Flowers

Shy little wild flowers! They
are twice-charming today, for
besides making a fairyland of
their native hauntS, they're
bringing the woods into home
gardens.
Clumps of blue woodland
violetS. The beautiful trillium
that comes in white (as pic
tured at upper left) or streaked
with almost every color of the
rainbow. And the beloved
jack-in-the-pulpit, known from
childhood days. These are the
great favorites.
Where They Are Planted
It's enchanting to study such
flowers in their natural setting.
And then to see how they will
fit into the hooks and corners
of your own garden.
A carpet of violetS? Yes, you
can have it! Plant this living
carpet under a Towering fruit
tree-and you'll have a picture
to remember all your days. Or
set the violets in the wide
spaces that are so necessary
between peony plants. Their
clear blue flowers against the
rich reddish growth of the
peonies will make another pic
ture your friends will envy.
The handsome trillium (whose
blossoms are from one-half
inch to three inches across)
blooms at the same time as
the tulip. It does especially
we'll in shady spots under trees
or along the north side of the
house. Planted in great num-
bers, along with hardy ferns, it
brings you the very breath of
the woods.

vidual in their pattern, or they
must be used in an individual
way. The years of rather stand
ardized printed frocks seem to
be past. True we wear stripes,
checks, plaidS and small con-
ventional patterns, but we
atone for their regularity of
design by insisting that they
be made up in some manner
that gives them distinction.
Daytime prints are often in
sprightly patterns, Spriggy flow
ers that fairly stand out from
their material, sometimes in ma
tural flower colors, often i'll pas
tells, and even when they are in
two colors, white on navy, or on
black or brown, they have a
look of reality and of great chic.
Accent of Color
Other trimming needn't be
added to make a dress look diff
ferent. usual necklines,
sleeves, cut-outs of the print
that border neckline or sleeves,
and often little punches of flow
ers that repeat the colors in
the print are the only extra
touch. White is used with great
effect. Pique, organdie, batiste,
plain or embroidered are just a
few of the trimmings. There
are many new ideas, too many
to describe.
Another good trick is to add
a touch of one of the bright
colors in the print, if they are
bright. A small groSgrain band
that ties at the throat and
wrists is smart, and small bows
Of ribbon are seen.
Printed dresses with plain
coats or jackets, printed blouses,
whole costumes of a good print
testify to the popularity of pat
termed materials, and to their
variety. Even Paris is going
for them in a big way this year,
though they usually use them
less than we do in America.
Evening Prints
Many of the same themes
are used in printed evening
gowns that you find in daytime
dresses. Flowers repeat the
colorS in the print, a touch of
color such as a chiffon scarf
is added with great effect, gir-
dies and belts lend the neces-
sary accent color, and again
you'll find a touch of white.
Filmy chiffonS seem to be
most popular now for evening,
though some crepes are useG,
too. There are the vibrant,
vivid colors, and odd patterns
in one school, the pastels in
sweet effect in another.

Cause of Chapping

Chapping of the baby's skin
may occur if his diapers are
not changed often enough, or
are improperly sterilized, or IT,
after his bath, all the infinitely
delicate little creaSes and wrln-
kles are not properly oiled.
Exposing the skin of the face
to severe weather may chap the
sensitive surface, but that is no
reason for keeping the baby in
doors.
A thin coating of olive oil,
with camphorated oil on top,
preserves perfectly the complex
ions of our little girls even when
they go out with the thermom-
eter well below zero.
The scab on top Of the head
-"cradle cap" as it is called
often comes because the scalp
is not clean. Sometimes on the
other hand, too much soap is
used: olive oil may be better.
A mother should ask her doctor
for advice.

Cause of Babu Rash and Other Skin Troubles Mav Be Inte

Beauty.0f
Eyes
By JULIET SHELBY

Very little truth is known
about Garbo, the quiet,
Swedish girl who invaded
Hollywood and upset the
apple cart. AS her door is
closed to interviewers, the
favorite pastime of the film
colony is to guess about
Garbo-how she lives, who
and what she likes, how she
manages to retain her incom-
parable position in the mo-
tion picture world.
So, elusive as she is, there
was little chance of my getting
to her to discuss beauty. I did
not see her, but I did enter into
the favorite pastime Of Holly
wood: I discussed her at great
length.
Those on the M.G.!M. lot
who know her-the camera
men, stylist, makeup chief and
others-all agree that Garbo's
immobile face is made dramatic
by her compelling eyes. And
this much we do know about
this glamorous star: she most
certainly concentrates on her
eyes when she is making up!
Her light lashes are darkened,
and artificial lasheS are added
to create that heavy, fringed
look which fascinates you as
you watch her.
Her calm features can stand
this almost eccentric lash en-
phasis; it gives her the magni-
tude of expression which only
properly made-up eyes can show.
And that is the art you
should master. Study your eyes
and the arch of your eyebrows.
Touch up your lashes lightly
or make them heavy, according
to which effect is most attrac-
tive. If your eyebrow is too
light or too indefinite, draw
one, delicately, carefully.
Experiment to find whether
your lower lashes should be
emphasized or left untouched.
Or whether only the outer
fringe of your upper 1ashes
should be darkened.
But do try all expedients to
bring new loveliness to your
eyes. Make them express your
inner thoughts, your type, your
personality. Do as Garbo does.
Let me give you the name of
a new eyelaSh stick that serves
both as an eyebrow pencil and
as a mascara which requires
no brush for application.
1t is new, it is convenient to
use and carry, and it is very
effective. You will get excel
lent results!

Certain foods a baby himself
takes may disagree and cause a
rash. The doctor will be the
Judge of that. Sometimes a
baby's food is too rich for him.
If he is fatter than the aver
age for his age, and his gain is
above average, his mother may
be advised to use less cream in
the milk from which his for
mula is understanding that
he takes milk from a bottle.
Or perhaps different variety
of milk, or longer boiling Of it,
will cure the difficulty.
Another form of rash is
caused by letting the baby get
overheated. On hot summer
days when it is difficult to keep
q baby cool however light -
even non.existent-his clothing,
he may break out with this
red, itching rash. Mothers call
it "prickly heat"
It can occur in winter, too,
if a child is SWathed in too
many garments, or if his bed
covering is heavier than he needs
to keep him warm. If a baby
perspires he is too hot, and his
mothers hand should detect
and correct the difficulty.

Consult Doctor a

One way is to watch the diet
carefully, since skin eruptions,
with babies as with adults,
often are caused by indigestion
or some slight food poisoning.
About anything of the sort, a
mothers doctor Is the first one
to consult-she should never
temporize by applying to the
skin surface some ointment or
complexion ere a m when the
trouble may be caused by in
ternal conditions, which ought
to be removed instead OF treat"
ing a symptom.
In such cases, q doctor often
questions the mother to lind
out if she, or the baby'S father
or the family on either side,
is inclined to develop eczema,
hives or any other form OF
rash as the result Of sensitive
ness to some particular KIND
Of food.
Eggs, crabmeat, strawberries
and other foods act as a more
or less mild poison to certain
individuals.
These foods are not a part OF
a little baby's diet, in most
cases, but if the mother eats one
or more of them and the baby
nurses, he may be poisoned
slightly through her.
The doctor will tell her how
to find out about this, and then
she can discontinue the trouble
some food while she is feeding
