Tinies," said wee Scouty, with a grin.
 i've heard such dances are a treat, Cause Indians have such nimble feet. Come on, let's take the drum back, so the big dance can begin.
 The kindly Indian said, "All right. Be sure and thump with all your might" And then he showed wee Scouty how. The lad was quick to learn.
 "Oh, this is lots of fun," said he. And when the Tinymites see me, I know they'll get excited. Then they all will want a turn"
 The whole thing proved a splendid hunch, cause when wee Scouty joined the bunch, and started playing on the drum, the Tinies cheer aloud.
 Some Indians did fine war dance. It was a thrill to see them prance. Once more the Tinies proved quite appreciative crowd. Copyright 1895, NEA Service, Inc.

The Indians and the Tinymites just sat and talked about the sights that they had seen in trav- els every place around the world.
 Of course wee Duncy talked fthe, most. Through hours and hours the lad could boast, and by the time that he was through, some strange tales were unfurled.
 An Indian. in the meantime, had joined Scouty, who was very glad to walk around and see the tents all lined up in a row.
 The Indian said, "You'll sleep in one of these tonight. It will be- fun, and you will all get lots of very comfy sleep, I know"
 Not one thing did wee Scouty miss. He suddenly said, What is this?" The Indian answered, That's a drum. You thump it with your hand.
 While it is being played, you see. the Indians dance quite mer- rily. Some folks call it a war dance, but it's really very grand"
 "Oh, my let's have d war dance, now. I'll thump, if you'll just show me how. We'll stage it for the

GOOD MATERIALS
REQU|REDBYF.H.A.
Usefulness of House Must
Be Proved Before Aid
Is Given.

The use Of good quality materials,
both in actual construction and in
equipment, will be insisted upon by
the FEDERAL Housing Administration
before it insures home mortgages sub
mitted to 1t under the terms Of title 2
of the national housing act.
In keeping with its policy Of en-
couraging the development Of hous-
ing on a high plane, the administra-
tino has set forth minimum construc-
ton standards which must be main
tanned by builders of new homes. and
must be met by owners Of existing
homes, before long-term mortgage in
surance will be given approval.
Good Paint Needed.
Among stipulations set forth in the
regulations are these: That "aN ex-
terror metal work which Is subject to
corrosion shall be adequately pro-
tected by rust-inhibiting paint" and
that all exterior wood surfaces shall
be similarly protected. The require
ments also cover adequate plumbing,
roofing, foundations, construction, etc.
In taking this action the admins
tration emphasizes that it must, OF
necessity, take all precautions to see
that the security for the loan Is
properly protected. The mortgage IA
cilities may be made available, 1t is
pointed out, only to those properties
whose prospects Of continued utility
are sufficiently good to give assurance
of their enduring as sound invest
ments throughout the life of the mort
gage.
Stronger Investment.
In insisting upon the proper appE-
cation of durable paint as a protec-
ton against the deterioration Of the
properties on which it insures mort
cages, the F. H. A. gives emphasis
once more to the importance Of
strengthening investments by safe
guarding exposed surfaces with high
grade paint.
In similar fashion the Home Own
ers' Loan Corporation prescribes pro-
lection for the homes on which it has
loaned money. In the master speci-
f1cations" booklet of the recondition-
ing division Of the H. o. L. c., the
following requirement appears:
'All painting materials and all
varnish products used for either exte-
rior or interior work shall be the best
brands of the product available"

Cannon Ball House
In Winchester Sold
To Frank Mccormick
Special Dispatch to The Star.

~ q AS SboAs
WINCHESTER, Va, January
26.-Winchester's famous can
non-ban house." homeplace of
the late Patrick Conner, has been
sold by Miss Emma Conner to
her nephew. Frank Mccormick.
The two-story brick dwelling at
the northwest corner Of Loudoun
and Clifford streets has been an
object Of tourist interest ever
since the Civil War, when an g.
inch cannon ball ripped a great
hole in the north wall and came
out on the opposite side. The
house was badly damaged, but
repaired, and the cannon ball
was imbedded In mortar In the
south wall.
The American Legion has in
recent years erected a marker
nearby, stating that the missile
was fired from a Federal gun on
one Of the several forts north
west Of the city.

BUILDING ANDLOAN
GAINS REVEALED
New Commitments Rise
While Volume of Repur-
chase SIumps.

Thousands Of annual shareholders
meetings Of building and loan associ-
ations this month are learning about
the $500, ,0oo. 900 which the associa-
tons supplied to their savings and
borrowing members in 1884.
The figures were compiled by their
national organization, the United
States Building and Loan League, and
show the disbursals made by all asso-
Citations in the country for new mort
gage loans, cash loans on security of
shares held, dividends and maturing
and repurchase of shares. I. Fried
lander, Houston, Tex, president of the
league, points out that the volume Of
repurchase from shareholders has
gone down, while the volume Of new
loan commitments has gone up, thus
giving the average report at annual
meetings a more encouraging outlook
than has been shown at any time
since 1880.
Most Loans Late In Year.
Mr.. Friedlander allocates the 81, ,500,-
100000 disburssl in 1884 approx
mately as follows: New mortgage
loans, $3.50, 100000; dividends, $780,
100000; maturing and repurchase of
shares, $650,000 900; cash loans on
share security. $110,00O,OOO The lat
ter half Of the year accounts for 81
per cent of the mortgage loans made,
demonstrating the accelerated pace of
the associations lending since the
middle Of the Summer.
"The decrease in direct outgo to
savings investors Is the result of the
fall of in demand for these repur-
chases," said the league president.
Building and loan associations have
paid out to their savings shareholders
in need Of funds an average Of about
81, ,0O0, 100000 a year up to 1884, CIV
ing them the benefits Of their fore
sight and frugality. The slowing up
of applications is encouraging, not
only as an index to better business
conditions, but also as a promise that
whatever Stringency Of mortgage
money existed because of heavy de-
mands for share repurchase is now
at an end.
1884 Maturities Larger.
"The maturity of building and loan
shares in 1884 was somewhat larger
than it had been in the two years
before, because of the predominance
of the 11-and-a-fraction-y ma
turity among so many Of the associ-
alton shares. Our figures show that
between 1928 and 1924 about $780,
000, 900 was added to the total amount
Of building and loan assets, thus start
ing larger number of these 11-year
maturity shares than had been started
for many years previous. The fact
that we were not called upon to pay
out as many matured shares in 1884
as in 1888, in spite of the actual in
crease in share accounts reaching their
goal, means that a much larger per-
centage Of our shareholders this year
were willing. and in many cases anx-
ious. to leave their funds invested in
the association after maturity. where
the State law permits this. That is
one more encouraging factor to be
observed in the building and loan sit
uation as the shareholders learn about
it from the different association man.

System, all members of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp, and all
members Of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System. There are more than
1900 institutions in these classes.
All these institutions will be approved
upon submission Of an application for
approval. In addition, all non-mem-
ber State banks may apply for such
approval, and II found responsible
and able to service the mortgage

Any other institution may apply
for such approval to the office Of the

having succession,
(b) it is subject to supervision
satisfactory to the admins
tration, Of some governmental
agency,
(c) it has capital andior reserve
funds properly proportionate to
its liabilities and to the char
acter and extent of its opera
tions,
(d) its principal activity in the
mortgage field consists in lend
ing funds which are under its
own control, on mortgages
primarily intended for its own

It was pointed out by the admins
tration that under the revised regu-
