Free Rein for AL Smith

JAMES ]. FARLEY, chairman of the

1t be known that the party chieftains
would make no effort to keep AL Smith
out Of the national convention in Phila-'
delphla If he is elected delegate and
presents proper credentials. And once
he is seated, there will be no attempt
to keep him from speaking his mind.
Administration leaders, 1t was repre-
scented, believe Mr.. Roosevelt will
dominate the convention so completely
that no attack by Smith or anyone
else on the New Deal can have any
considerable effect.

new Development
APPEARS IN FAIRFAX
Guilford Subdivision Is Laid Out

In a setting strictly rural, yet To-

a new subdivision, Guilford, is being
developed in Fairfax County, Va. on
the Franconia road leading from Alex

Developers Of the Guilford plan ex-

exceed the ordinary rent.
The Guilford tract, which comprises
more than 300 acres of rolling land,

P. W. A. BUILDING SHOWS
BIG INCREASE OVER 1885
Publicly Financed Construction
Last Month Doubles Period
Year Ago.

Publicly financed construction (the
class of building and employment
financed by P. w. A. last month was
more than double that of year ago
last month.
This great increase, rejecting
throughout the country in the field
the execution of the P. w. A. program.
was revealed in the regular monthly
report of the F. w. Dodge Corp. to
Public Works Administrator Ickes.
The summary of the report as writ
ten by the Dodge Corp. follows:
"Publicly-financed construction jobs
undertaken during February in the
81 States east of the Rocky Mountains
was somewhat more than twice the
total reported during February, 1885.
The February, 1886, total amounted
to $78,987,50 and compares with
$37 1928, 400 for February, 1885. The
January, 1896, total was $l39, 19l 900.
For the first two months of 1886
publicly financed construction in this
area amounted to $218, 179, 400 as
against only $92,384,OO0 for the cor
responding two months of 1885,"

A man who knows as much about
home financing under the national
housing act probably as any one in
Observation-Disclosures w. Berens,
mortgage loan rrespondent-be-
lieves the mutual mortgage insurance
plan could be made doubly effective
by q change in the law which, he
contends, would in no way diminish
the lofty purposes undertaken by
the Government in elimination OF
past evils of home purchase.
Berens' suggestion is that pros
pective purchaser of residential prop
erty be permitted to give back
second trust to the seller, not ex-
ceeding 10 per cent of the actual
valuation. This would lower to 10
per cent the cash payment the pur-
chaser has to make in buying home
under Title II, of the housing act.
Under prevailing regulations 20 per
cent cash or down payment has to
be made, which prevents large per-
centage of home buyers from receiving
benefits offered by F. H. A.
He points out that in so-called
'boom" years, when money was prob
ably as plentiful as it ever has
been, we found few purchasers OF
homes in a position to pay 20 per cent
cash, even though in other ways
they we're qualified to accept the
burden of home buying. Under current
conditions there are even less people
with so much ready cash.
Hasn't Proved Failure.
The amendment suggested by Berens
would change the status OF the F. H. A.
mortgage from a ''single-mortgage"
system of home financing However,
he believes it would not cause re-
turn of the evils prevalent in many
instances of home purchase under
the old double mortgage system.
Berens does not mean to give the
impression that Title II, of the hous-
ing act has proved failure. On
the contrary, he thinks the F. H. A.
has been highly successful" in edu-
eating prospective home buyers, Specu-
latiye builders, and others affected,
in their revolutionary and highly bene-
fetal financing plan. To illustrate
this point, he shows that he negotiated
the first loan in the entire country
that was insured by F. H. A., and
since that day in early 1885 has
handled in excess of 100000 in
these loans.
But, like other persons who are
familiar with the home financing
situation, he knows that the F. H. A.
Is losing millions of dollars in good

Contours of Bust
By IDA JEAN KAHN

Vitality and weight are the two
factors which determine the con-
tour of the bust. This area is
especially susceptible either to
fatty deposits with excessive
weight, or to a scarcity of normal
tissue with asthenic underweight.
Framework does not always con-
troll the size of the bust, and the
large-framed girl may have a small
or a large bust, while the slim,
wiry girl with high vitality is likely
to be well developed. Glandular
functioning has nothing to do with
skeletal proportions.
Measurements of 100 girls and
women of varying ages indicated
that the lovely normal bust mea-
Surement can exceed the chest by
one inch to two and one-half
inches, depending on structure.
The bust that was less than one
inch larger than the chest ap-
peared small, and the bust which
exceeded the chest by more than
two and one-half inches was too
large for beauty.
The bust measurement is some
times far from perfect. In figure
