gains. Construction mortgages were
about twice as great in total volume
during the second quarter. Advances
to complete the purchase cost OF
existing homes increased 10 per cent
in volume during April, May and June,
While loans for modernization and re-
pairs were about twice as great In
volume during the later three months.
While seasonal factors may partially
account for the expansion charac-
terizing the April, May, June period
they are only part of the story, he
holds. The more feasible explanation
of what is taking place must be based
on the rapid improvement in senti-
ment for real estate, which makes
people not only anxious to acquire
new properties even If they have to
build them at today's high costs, but
also to make over and maintain those
properties which they were too dis
couraged to bother about as recently
as two years ago.
Reviewing the six months Of lend
ing activity, the league official says
that the average purchase loan has
peen consistently around S2,400, and
the construction loan around $4,000.
This would indicate that the majority
of borrowers from the associations
are today investing in properties
worth between S3,700 and $4,000
among the existing ones and are
building houses worth between $4,000
and $1,000. They thus remain the
major source of financing for the
comparatively unpretentious home, a
role which has been characteristically
building and loans for more than a
century.
Some months show freak upturns
in the average size of loans granted
for construction or for home pur-
chase" said Mr.. Bodfish. These in
point to the inclusion in that
months reporting Of some more
costly home, demonstrating that the
savings and loan institutions are
gaining influence in the field of
financing higher-priced homes along
with the more characteristic small
homes, Diversification, always one of
the strong points in the savings and
loan financial set-up, is thus being de-
veloped in another direction.

the figures for the corresponding
period of 1885. During the past six
months 1887 single home permits
were issued. The estimated cost of
those homes was fixed at Sll,09l 1896.

year, the building and loan leaders
predict, since there are no signs of
abatement in the home-building re-
vival and there are definite signs of
continued quickening Of the real estate
market. Greater emphasis upon con-
struction and purchase loans during
the coming months, with moderniza-
ton loans remaining about at their

pated makeup of the lending pattern

One
Eccentriicity


l. farmer who lived on the out
skirts of Andre, knew that he was
under surveillance. He knew that
curious eyes watched his every
move from the moment he went to
his fields in the early morning until
his return at dark.
The fact of his being watched did
not brighten or alarm Lameraux.
He knew that some resident OF the
town or the vicinity was contrivlng
secretly to communicate important
information to the German artillery.
Lameraux was amused at the
French authorities obvious stu
pidity. He was amused at the vari-
Gus subterfuges to which they re-
sorted to learn more about him
without arousing his suspicious.
Sitting before his fire that night,
smoking his pipe and polishing his
crude implements, he mentally
checked each detail of his daily
routine and laughed aloud.
Amused, deriving no small
amount of satisfaction from the
knowledge that he was an object OF
such vast importance-and an I'M
satisfactory object - Lameraux
scrubbed vigorously on the spade
he was at the moment polishing.
This was the old mans most con-
scientious employment, his only
hobby. He took a 2rodi. ious pride
1 in keeping his tools in first-class
repair, keeping them clean and
shiny and always in order. 1t was,
perhaps, his one eccentricity.
Another week passed and the citl-
zens Of Andre as well as the mill
tary occupants were once more
made depressingly aware of the fact
that valuable information was leak
ing through their lines and being
received by the enemy. A German
barrage, accurately directed, raised
havoc with a certain ally munition
depot.
M. Lameraux sympathized with
those neighbors who mentioned the
disaster to him. But for the most
part he was uncommunic alive,
maintaining his habitual reticence'
The day after the barrage driz'
cling rain set in and M. Lamerauz

sconced before his open fire.

satisfactory. Many who had at
tended the inquisition were inclined
to let the old man go. He was aged
and harmless. He had lived IN his
present home since before the war.
His activities had been checked.
How could he possibly be providing
information to the enemy?
But the young officer who had
made the arrest asked that Lame
raux be kept in custody for a time
and his request was granted.
The rain continued for three days.
On the fourth day the sun shone
brightly. The young officer went out
to the Lameraux farm. In the eve
ming he returned and there was an
excited CLEAN in his eyes. That
night the Germans began another
barrage. But its effect was harm
less, for the majority Of exploding
shells landed in a vacant field. The
next morning the young officer re-
ported to his superiors.
.'Lameraux is our man." he said.
II have the proof!"
"Indeed? Will you kindly explain
how he has been communicating
his information to the enemy?"
The young officer smiled. La
meraux has been in the employ OF
the German intelligence for many
years. Five years before the war he
was ordered to come here and make
his home. Even then they were look
ing ahead. For long period his
assistance was not needed-not un-
til the front lines were moved back
near the village of Andre. Then it
was that he was asked for informa-
ton regarding the French military
activities. How did he provide this
information? The answer is hello
graph. On sunny days while work
ing in his fields he signalled the in
| formation to confederate located
in an observation balloon behind the
German lines by the simple expedi-
ent of flashing the suns rays from
his farm tools, which he was always
so careful to keep highly polished.
"Two days ago I searched his
home and eventually came upon the
code he used. I deciphered the code
and yesterday when the sun shone
brightly flashed message to the
confederate, which resulted in last
nights harmless barrage. Do you
need further proof?"
The superior officer regarded the
young man with frank admiration
"No," he said. 1T is enough. We
cannot help adnniring the shrewd
ness of Monsieur Lameraux. Thanh

of course, the black shirts in Italy,
which seems the most practical Of
all because you don't need to wash
black shirt for months and
months.
So maybe we're too quick. The
a1arnists among us are predicting
an early dictatorship here. At the
rate all the standard shares are
being snapped up. we'll have to
think up new color in shirts, and,
unless we hurry, there may not be
any new colors to think up, and
you can't have dictatorship with
out shirt to match - that's the
rule. Lavender hasn't been taken
