Modernization
Loans Praised
By Fiinancier

Small loans, as an outlet for
surplus bank funds. have earned
the applause Of one OF the first
hanks TO make a determination
Credit Loan under the operation
Of the National Housing Act.
In making his Tooth such loan In
Just under a years time. the First
National Bank Of Concord. N. H.,
through its president. Burns =.
Hcdgman, finds this method of
credit a benefit In providing an
outlet for a portion OF loanabie
funds on a profitable basis"
While this bank" he said has
never conducted q small loan de-
partment as that term Is generally
understood. we have for years made
so-called character loans to people
Of limited means. Our experience
was so good that when Moderniza-
ton Credit loans were made pos
sible. We welcomed the opportunity
TO accept as many good loans as
would come to M doors.
~ believe we we're the first bank
In New Hampshire 10 make a loan
i-sured by the FLA. and I have
been told we were among the first
In the United States.
I'VE have very few instances
where for one reason or another
payments temporarily lapsed. IN

workman Is injured on the job, he
receives stipulated amount OF mon
ey to cover disqualification and other
losses. The amount and type OF pay
ment vary in different states.
In addition. the contractor usually
carries insurance to cover injuries
which may occur to other persons
than workers. called public liability
insurance. For example, someone
walking by construction job may be
injured by falling lumber. This
insurance protects the owner and
contractor from possible lawsuits
arising from these accidents.
The owner should carry fire in
surance. and should increase the
amount as the work progresses. in
accordance with the value Of the
work done. so that 1t will cover the
total amount Of work which has
been completed at all times. In
some localities. hurricane, cyclone,
earthquake and other types OF insur-
ance are necessary.
The owner must check all these
items. in order that he will be pro-
tected against unavoidable losses
during the building process.

Expert Advice
Necessary For
Home Builders

In planning construction Of q
home, q prospective owner should
obtain competent advice concern
ing the thousand-and-one details
which have to be taken into con-
sideration. Much helpful informa-
ton al be given by an architect or
a competent construction firm such
as Blythe a. Stats, well-kncwn
company which operates in the low
er Valley.
You probably would not give much
consideration to the location OF
trenches for pipes. sewers and drain
tile. but this Is @ relatively impor-
tant item in planning a home. All
pipes should be located below the
frost line. This will vary in differ
ent sections of the country and
should be determined before the ex-
cavation Is begun.
Considerable savings may be real
lied II in digging a trench in which
pipes are to be laid, the trench is
dug no wiler than necessary for
the size OF the pipe to be laid. In
general, Is inches Is about as mar
row as a shallow trench can be
dug by a man. IL deeper than
four feet, "a inches is usually a
minimum width.
Sewer, water, and gas lines must
have trenches provided. Heretofore
electric wires have usually been
brought in above ground. Today
many electric lines are placed in
trenches and the wires enclosed IN
conduitS. This removes the I'M
slightly network OF wires.
Drain tile for footings require a
trench alonv the outside Of the foot
ing, parallel to the footing and
never below II, and sufficient space
provided tor broken stones or gravel
to be placed about the drain tile.
Leader drains must either have
trenches to a dry well located at
least ten feet from the house, or TO
a storm sewer. The former should
have a pitch Of one inch TO ten feet,
and the latter one-quarter inch TO
the foot. II sewer to septic tanks,
special care should be exercised IN
their location and pitch.
To backfill a trench Solidly. the
earth should be deposited in layers
Of four to six inches aud rammed
with iron hammers or compacted by
flooding thoroughly with water.
The latter method Is particularly
effective with sandy earths. Special
care should be taken to have al
backfill solidly compacted where
the trench passes below roadways OF
walks. .
Here Is another important point
in home construction: As a protec-
ton from lawsuits. losses from fire
or other difficulties which may arise
during the building process, the
owner should carry insurance ano
check with his contractor to see that
he is thoroughly protected by insur-
ance.
The contractor should carry en-
ployees' liability insurance COM
monty known as workmen's COM
penSation. AS a rule, state laws
make this type Of insurance obliga-
tory. The premiums are usually
based on the amount Of the week
" pay roll. 9Shis Is both a bene-
fit to the employee and a protection
to the owner and contractor. II q

Walled Courtyard
Gives New Privacy

Many house owners in large cities
are utilizing the small rear-yard
space for a walled garden. This per-
mits a greater degree Of privacy In
outdoor living than would be pos
Sible otherwise.
Many different materials may be
used for these wallS-concrete,
brick, tile block, or other material
which will not require expensive
maintenance.
The top Of a wall may be made
more attractive II the wall is wide
enougL to hold a trough which nay
be filled with earth. Hedges or vines
planted here will make the garden
seem more separated from the sur
rounding buildings.

high fidelity instrument with vastly
extended musical range, bringing
you the overtoneE which identify

Report card time rolls around and the young Americas bring home the result of their first quarter in school Fathers and mothers look over the caros and if they are of more mature years, they will find that education along with other things has changed considerably this fast changing age. No more the old fashioned marks up to 100 the latter of which only few especially brilliant ever attained No 70 in arithmetic 30 in spelling and so on, including ola fashioned department which used to have more to do with the outcome at home than anything else

 Then we learn that a pupil prepares all assign ments carefully; is conscientious and dependable; requires no urging have work done on time; shows consistent interest responds readily when called on; makes practice of doing all the work assigned and makes some use of suggestions for supplementary work has good study habits of routine assignments; is loyal dependable and helpful in class assignments; uses good English or attempts to do in class. This means a grade of 87 to 92.

 In introducing Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York who has made attempt to conceal his aspiration in hectic tour of the Midwest, the North west the Southwest and the South, White said "As for the Presidential candidates Kansas has an ab- solutely open mind"
 Looking straight into the eye of Governor Ali Landon of the Sunfower State who is accredited with being the most furtive of those who have been men, toned and who declined invitation to visit MT. Hoover at Pao Alto White said with what the press associations reported "a certain solemnity:

Although astrologers read this as an unimportant day it is ruled py benefic aspects It is time for tax ing stock of oneself.
 This is read as an suspicious sway under which to seek political pref erment. Both men and women should benefit. for those who dispense pa tronage are supposed to seek effic- iency instead of political sagacity.
 Labor is again under an ill omen that seems to bode trouble for fed eral policies. The winter is likely to be marked by serious difficulties, if Saturn's influence is rightly con- strued.
 This is a fortunate rule for buyers and sellers of staple merchandise. Merchants and manufacturers cer- tainly should profit.
 New fortunes are to be made in the coming year when scientists will profit and bankers benefit.
 All signs appear to emphasize the fact that men will assume leader ship subordinating women. Again there will be rivalries for recognition in business and politics.
 Great enterprises in nursing and in hospital expansion are forecast for the next few years. Philanthro- pists will have special reason to provide for the ill and disabled.
 Astrologers place special stress up- on the importance of feeding the young and salvaging human life as the year draws to close, for the winter is to be severe.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the auguary of a year of fairly good fortune. Small troubles may be ir- but patience is obligatory.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be devoted to serious stu dies. Subjects of this sign usually are gifted in the arts and able to express their ideals in acting or through the written word.
 E. L. Davenport, actor, was born on this day 1918. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include William Herschel, astronomer, 1738; Richard Henry Dunn, poet and nov elist, 1787; Thurlow Weed, journal ist and politician, 1797.

 This strange notion again shows modern Ethiopia tracing back to old biblical days.

 T will disguise myself and enter into the batte but put thou on thy robes" This sounds at first as il Ahab were putting Jehoshaphat on the spot; but actually it meant that Ahab, like King Josiah much later was a brave man who wanted to take on common soldiers risks: The Syrian charioteers made a drive for Jehoshaphat. whom they mistook fol Ahab but turned off when Jehoshaphat "cried out and identified himself having instructions from the King of Syria to fight neither with small nor great save only with the King of Israel" Ahab met his fatt when a Syrian archer drew his bow at a venture and smote the King of Israel between the joints o his harness
