amusingly, "It's beautiful-llke some

Shining in the sun, the building was
both very tall and very wide. Its door
and window frames seemed made OF

surrounding lawns stretched miles
away to the edge of wood of stately
cedar trees, and were scattered here
and there with clusters of lilies and
roses and of poisoning growths
which the youngsters had not known

Behind the physical beauty of the

usher Springtime into Washington is
IAN idea that ranks as mans most
beautiful conception-friendship. The
trees symbolic Japan's desire for

the expression of that desire, Mrs.

CHESAPEAKE ISLAND
RELIEVED OF ISOLATION

The isolation such as gripped Tan
gier and Smiths Islands during last
winters freeze, when no communica-
ton between the lower Chesapeake
Bay points and the mainland was pos
sible for weeks at time may be avoid
ed in the future.
c. r. Payne, radio engineer, said
last week he was working on a plan
to establish two-way wireless COM
munication between the islands and
Crisfield for use in such emergencies.
Payne explained that the plans call
ed for the residents Of each commun-
ity to defray the expenses Of INSTALL
ing its own radio-telelphone sets.
Residents of the Islands and authori-
ties at Crisfield were said to be in
favor of the proposition.
The communication system, as out
lined by Payne, would have radius
of thirty miles or more. Sending and
receiving telephones would be set up
at Tangier and Smiths Islands and in
Crisfield.
Approximately 5000 islanders
would benefit from the arrangements.
For nearly two months last year a
heavy sheet of ice forming on the bay
cut them off from all touch with the
mainland.
During that time fuel and medicine
supplies nearly were exhausted and
hardship was threatened, though the
ice broke up before any serious suffer-
ing resulted.

travel all the time?" Before he could
get away, we had discovered that he
wrote adventure stories.
This fellow had left home when a
boy and had never returned, although,
he had circled the globe two or three
times within the past fifteen years.
Now he continues to travel in the Uni
ted States, taking whatever direction
he prefers, and stopping here and
there in the lovely spots of America.
Staying for days or weeks; then NOV
ing on to some other enchanted place
of delight and beauty.
An addition: This specific day is
seven years passed. Such vehicles are
seen almost daily from this point of
observation, at present.

VARIOUS VIEWS
By Arthur Van Define
A TRAVELLING MAN

Late this afternoon, while having
my car filled with gasoline, peculiar
vehicle drove up to the service station
and refilled a tire from the compress
ed-air tank. Hundreds and probably
thousands Of automobiles pass or stop
at this junction daily without attract
ing special attention, but this one
could not get away until it had been
observed from all angles by those of
us who happened to be at the filling
station.
The chassis of this automobile was
exceptionally large and heavy. In
the distance, this vehicle had the ap-
pearance of big truck. AS it drew
nearer it seemed to resemble house
on wheels, and that is really what it
was. One of the neatest little houses
you ever saw, with it's tiny windows
and little curtains drawn halfway
down. There stood two bright eyed
children peering through the window
as the car stopped.
Of course, we could not see cur
iosity of this kind get away before
we knew more about it, so one in
quired in an apologize tone, 81 sup
pose you have been over much road,
this trip" No sooner had the gen.
tleman answered that question, than
another spoke up and said, "Do you

sandwich together. How's about it?"
"S-sure," Jan said family. "That1l
be swell, Mr.. Gray"
They strode in silence to q nearby
lunch counter, and Gary ordered ham
and egg sandwiches and coffee. They
sat on stools. and Gary munched
dismally.
"I needed a little excitement to-
night" He turned to Jan once. TOO
bad your sister wasn't here"
Shed have liked to CO." Jan was
making a terrific effort not to eat
daintily. "She's a swell dancer"
THAT so?"> Gary reached for a
doughnut in covered dish. Have

When they finished the director
paid the bill and walked to the cor
ner with Jan.

gets back" He slapped her on the
back again. Just between ourselves,
I'd like to know her better. She's a
charming girl"
ISIS is oke." Jan turned away to
hide her confusion. BE seein' you
tomorrow night"
Jan almost ran back to the apart
ment. She threw off her coat and
hat and flung herself on the couch
tearfully. Since she was featured
member Of the cast she had a dressing
room to herself and changed before
going home. But she always made
up and got into her costume at home.
Angrily, she got up and tore off her
trousers and shirt and threw them
over chair. Then she crawled into
bed to cry like little girl who hadn't
been invited to the birthday party.
Down in her heart she knew she was
being very selfish. Patience was en-
titled to a little happiness from life.
But why should it be impossible
for her to be friends with Gary Gray?
She made up her mind that little
Nell was coming back from Boston
very soon. Enough was enough! She
wasn't going to be left out of every
thing.

owning and building. While no actual
figure is available, it seems reasonable
on the basis of results to figure that
the majority Of borrowers on insured
mortgages are those individuals who
could not have afforded home owning
on q single mortgage under the old
State laws. The alternative, OF course,
would have been two mortgages, and
the high cost Of this means of hnanc.
ing long ago proved one Of the great.
est hazards to home owning
The recently issued annual report
Of the Federal Housing Administration
shows that 70 per cent of all in
sured mortgages during 1885 were for
more than 66 per cent Of the ap-
praised value Of the property. In the
case Of new. construction alone, 81 per
cent of all insured mortgages were for
more than 66 per cent of the ap-
praised value Of the property.
Thus on the face of it a great ma
jority Of the insured mortgages could
not have been written into single
mortgages under old State laws. This
has substantial significance, Housing
Administration oficials say, even il
all Of. these home owners had pur-
chased homes without the added bene-
fit of the provisions Of the national
housing act. A majority would have
been compelled to resort to two mort
cages and, in this eventuality, would
have paid exorbitant rates of interest
for short-ter1n mortgages, with the
continual threat of loss Of the home
as consequence. Obviously, in this
case, the national housing act has
resulted in widespread saving to the
individual builder of a home.

. STATES LAWS
NOW HELP F. H. A.
Enabling Legislation Gave
Homes to Many, Says
Administration.

Enabling legislation in A States
contributes largely to the successful
operation of the national housing act,
according to Federal Housing Admin
istration officials, while helping to
bring into Americas growing group of
home owners many who could not
have afforded this luxury under the
old order Of mortgage lending.
Passage of the national housing act
was but the first step toward loosen
ing home-mortgage credit and max
ing such loans secure for both lender
and borrower. Most State laws pro-
hibited mortgage loans in excess Of so
to 66 per cent Of the appraised value
Of the property, while the housing act
allowed 80 per cent mortgage loans.
Thus before any widespread use could
be made of the new Federal law, State
laws had to be amended to conform.
Thousands Bought Homes.
Actually these amended laws brought
thousands Of individuals into home
