Nightmare of Foreclosure
Almost Entirely Lost by
New Set-Up.
EXPENSIVE PROCEEDINGS
FOR DEFAULTS SLASHED
Redemption Period Given, With
Chances of Greater Return
in Event of Sale.

The Federal Housing Administra-
ton explained today that it has Moth
ing to do with the foreclosure of the
debt relationship between borrower
and lender but merely insures the
lender against default by the bor-
rover, in answer to many inquiries
concerning the administrations policy
on foreclosure of mortgages insured
under provision of Title II of the ma
tional housing act.
When default occurs, F. H. A. point
ed out, foreclosure proceedings are
instituted only by the mortgage
(holder Of the mortgage), which in
every case is a bank or other mort
gage-lending institution, although a
method of procedure has been devised
whereby the lending institution can
collect the insurance without formal
foreclosure, thus saving the borrower
great deal of trouble and expense.
Redemption Period Given.
The act provides means which the
administrator has elaborated in the
registration for liquidating insured
mortgages, which should almost en-
tirely Danish the nightmare Of FORE
closure. Not only will the high costs
be eliminated, but the mortgagor will
actually have period in which he
can redeem his property equivalent
to that which he presently enjoys,
with all the advantages Of realizing a

SMALL HOME GAIN
IS SBE[|[VED NEAR
Building and Loan League
President Says Boom
Due This Year.

The owners, flnancers and sellers of
small homes will have their inning in
1885 as result of revitalized real
estate market, rising rents, and the
increasing ability of private capital
mortgage sources to function nor
mally.
This is what l. Friedlander of Hous-
ton, president of the United States
Building and Loan League. finds clear
est among the new years prospects.
In addition. he declared today, the
stemmed-up tide of home construction
should be released by the middle of
the year to reach at least the 1881
status of home building permits, and
there is every reason to think that
the decrease in foreclosures which has
been noticeable in the past year will
continue and possibly be more marked
this year. A growing realization that
private sources of home mortgage
money, encourag ged by the Govern
ment, can do the job more soundly,
more economically and with the best
long-run benefits to the community
also will come to the fore in public
action and utterance, he holds.
Rents Continue Rise.
Mr.. Friedlander indicated that the
beginnings of many of these trends
were noticeable on the last minute
1884 horizon. Rents have Just reg
istered their eleventh successive
monthly rise after gradual decline
OF 10 years, and are now 6.1 per cent
above their year-ago level The past
years sustained upturn has had no
parallel in the history of rents since
1916, and from that period the rise
was continual for Is years before there
was any drop. In many communities
an increase in the market price of
small homes has shown up in late Fall
property transfers, and there is now
more mortgage money available in
building and loan associations than
there has been for the past three
years
The stiffening market price for
small homes should be pretty uni
versal before the year is out and def
nitely noticeable by Summer" said
the league president. Several factors
point in this direction, particularly
the absorption of vacancies in many
localities by the moving of families,
huddled for the past two or three
years, into separate establishments.
The rise in rents will itself influence
the market in homes favorably, and
the general increase in the price level
to which administration leaders re-
main committed will not fail to bring
better prices on existing real estate.
Summer Gain Expected.
THE greater demand for existing
properties must come before we have
such volume of home construction as
to cause a stir in business circles. but
1t is most probable that the effects of
the increasing price of homes will be
seen beginning with the Summer
months in about three or perhaps

For example, painting can be done
any place when the temperature is 40
degrees or above. This means that
interior painting can be done at any
time, and exterior work accomplished
in the majority of States under nor
NAL conditions.
Owners of homes and of business
properties are being urged by housing
authorities and building contractors
to take advantage of the Winter
months to complete painting and
other improvements, while efficient
labor is available and materials lower
in cost than in peak activity periods.

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E. MKENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

Secretary American Bridge League
TODAY'S hand has one of those
Il problems that confront you
every day at the bridge table Which
way to play the hand? It's the type
of hand that, if you take time to
study. will teach you lot about
bridge.
You have to make your decision
on the first round and. before do
ing so. you have to take into con-
sideration why you got the opening
lead you did and what the distribu-
ton is.
Before discussing the play, how
ever, I just want to remind you
that North's Jump to four spades
is III no way a slam try. His part
ner made an original bid. North

head? East has opened a spade
instead Of his own suit.
Well, maybe he has both the
king of hearts and the ace Of dia-
monds, or the act of clubs. So,
rather than lead away from one Of
those cards, he played a trump.
Now, you can see that, if you at
tempt to run the diamonds, as soon
as the opponents get in with the ace
they are going to return another
trump. I believe the safest way to
play the hand is as follows:
There are two and possibly three
losing diamonds and one sure losing
heart. Not to lose more than one
heart, I have to guess the hearts or
possibly get a good break. AS long
as I have this heart play to make
in any case, how can I eliminate
losing more than two diamonds?
BY making a safety play in clubs.
Win the first trick with the ace
of spades in dummy, Immediately
play the king of clubs and discard a
losing diamond. East will win with
the ace and naturally return an
other spade, which declarer will win
with the ten.
Now, pick up the outstanding
trumps and, when East discards a
club, a club will be discarded from
dummy.
Declarer's next play should be the
ace of hearts and then small
heart, hoping that he can make the
proper guess or that East will have
to play a heart honor, which will
eliminate the guess.
When the three of hearts is
played. East has to win the trick
with The king. and now there is
not much to the hand.
East, hoping to find mis- partner
with both the ace and queen Of dia-
monds. leads a small diamond, de-
clarer plays low from dummy and
all West can do is to win with the
ace. and all the remaining tricks are
declarer's.
