 The local firms which announced their entry into this financing field are qualified as agents to make loans on both types of properties and have full information regard ing them,' MT. Pegues said.
 Loans on Class A properties are insurable not only for improve ment, alterations and conversion of buildings, but also for machinery and equipment, it was pointed out.
 Handle Mortgage Loans
 The local group, in addition to its modernization credit plan oper- tions, is also in the market to do business under Title II of the Ma tional Housing Act which provides for a single mortgage for long terms at per cent interest on outstanding balances on residential properties. Loans up to $l6,000 for periods as long as 20 years cover ing the construction, purchase or refinancing of loans on single fam 1 fly or up to four-family multiple dwellings are insurable.
 Loans can be made for 80 per cent of the total value of the property To illustrate, a person owing a lot worth $1 900 could bor- row as much as $4,000 for as long as 20 years to construct a new house. Or, if he desired to purchase a residence worth $5,OOO he woulC be required to pay only S1000 tC be eligible to borrow $4,000 to com. lplete the payment. The loan il either case would be paid off il equal monthly payments, th' amount varying according to tn, Sloan neriod

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson


IFE must be rather dreadful to those con-
- cerned mainly with it's details as, for instance,

at the luncheon table, or go into panic wondering
whether to lower or elevate the little finger when
scoopng up soup. Dear Mrs Post" cried one
puzzled soul to the well-known social arbiter, ga

carnations are being worn by fashionable BRIDE
grooms. could hardly believe such a deviation
from the conventional possible, but then, stranger
things are happening"
Yes, indeed Dear Heart, stranger things are
happening. Riots, revolutions, floods, famines and
wars.
But we must not depart from the main issue.
Mrs. Post, always quick to detect the false note
diSapproves too, of red carnations for the bride
groom.
Now I am going right back at her to ask why?
1t seems to me little touch of red at weddings
ought to be the vogue. We have had too much
of the pallid as it is. Stiff, conventional ceremonies
have taken all the JOY and most of the meaning
out of such rites to say nothing of putting father
and the guests into the bankrupt courts.
Weddings ought to be lively events The Euro
pean peasants who put on their bright-colored
clothes, who dance laugh and sing with no worry
about etiquette have the right idea. AS conse-
quence, while most of affairs are pain in the
neck theirs emerge from everyday life like gay
blossoms which brighten drab room.
White, signifying innocence and purity is o. K.
for the bride, maybe, but why not adorn the groom
with spot of red, which denotes courage? Mar
rage being physical as well as spiritual union.
1t should be gay celebration Our pale iy-of-the-
valley flavor is quite out of keeping with manner
of behavior afterward when destroy illusions

HUNGER, THE RED

A ND 1t shall come to pass said the prophet
Isaiah about 500 years before Christ that
when man is hungry he shall fret himself, and
when he frets himself he shall curse his King and
his Cod"
This sound psychology apparently has been
adopted by the United States Communists In a re-
port to Gen. Hugh Johnson, when he was New York
WPA Administrator, an investigator of Communists
activities said that WPA had been potent factor
in checking growth of the Reds" and much Com
munist agitation had been directed against this
work relief program.
I'm conclusion" this investigator wrote, at may
be well to state that contented labor is not part
of the Red program but labor that is disheartened
and hungry is the only good material for Com
munists, and this probably explains the savage at
tack on the Administration and Gen. Johnson"
Extremists trying to curtal abandon work

the best kind of revolution insurance.

CENSUS OF JOBLESS

THE long CONTROVERSY as to how many men and
= women are unemployed will be ended this fall
by an official government census
Secretary of Commerce Roper has made this
promise to the U. s. Chamber of Commerce
The census will be TAKEN he said as soon as the
census of business and the of manufacturers
now in progress completed This probably will
be in the late fall
The tabulations of business and manufactures
are yielding valuable material on employment and
unemployment, according to Mr.. Roper, and when
they are completed the government will know what
additional data required ito give an adequate
and ineligible picture"
Mr.. Roper designated the new tabulation he pro-
poses as an occupatonal and unemployment census
Chamber OF Commerce speakers referred sharply
several times to conflicting figures on the total num-
Der of unemployed and the consequent difficulty Of
dealing with the problem.
However, when the Roosevelt Administration
proposed such census, two years ago. its
opposition accused it Of seeking chance to create
numerous political jobs. The project was dropped
ana an attempt-unsuccessful-w made to get at
the nglres in some other way.
This years count apparently will be taken after
the election, when the cry of politics can not be
raised

SCIENCE AND SOCIOLOGY

students of world politics discuss the possibility
n of another world war over ownership of oil
reserves savant at the Carnegie Institution of
Washington offers the design of an atom smashing
device of such deadly powers that he proposes it be
tried out in subterranean laboratory 40 feet under
ground
IT. as many scientists suspect this proves the
first important step in releasing the energy of the
atom there will be no need of war for oil reserves
Nobody will care who owns the oil when power is
as abundant as air
Science given much blame during the depression
for the creation of chronological unemployment and
other problems should be given credit also for sov-
ing many problems by the process of elimination.
While political theorists and economists are
arguing the solution of problems that seem unsolv-
able science by its advances changes the environ
ment OF the world that the old problems disappear
and new ones arise.
What were the problems of agricultural Europe
before the industrial revolution? Nobody cares much
today because the invention of the steam engine the
cotton mill and other machinery so changed the
world that many of those problems no longer exist
Science has created world for the twentieth
century, world of electric power, long distance
communication and aerial transportation.

Perhaps most of ALL however, Mr.. Patten will be

I am well aware that the parents
are allowed to see and be with the
quins any time of the day, but it is
the same as going to show and
seeing another's children. Their
wishes are carried out only if they
satisfy a few.
AS an illustration I am using a
child II days younger. than the
quins. The doctor will say the quins
were not like other babies when
born. The child I mention could re-
tain no food from the date of birth
until seven weeks later-after an
operation performed at the Riley
Hospital. At no time was her food
mashed. She chewed it, which the
doctors agreed would help develop
her muscles. She is neither fat nor
thin. She is very well developed and
nuscled.
That is why say: Give the quins
back to their parents, as this child
has developed more rapidly being
among it's family than it would have
otherwise.

GIVE GUMS TO PARENTS,
WOMAN URGES

BY Mrs. b. E. Hollingsworth
Reading the paper recently I ran
across an article in which the Di-
onne's expressed their dissatisfac-
ton in the way the quins are fed
agree with Mrs. Dionne in this
respect. For one thing they should
be allowed tc chew their food in
preference to having. it mashed;
they are now old enough to have
vegetables cooked in meat broth,
which is very nourisf1ing. I never
have read that DR.. Dafoe allowed
butter, which is one of the most
essential foods.
AS far as their vocabulary is con-
cerned, think they are very slow
in learning. A child years old
should use at least three words.
While the quintuplets were in
fants, the hospital was the best
place in the world for them, but DR.
Dafoe himself says, "They are not
infants any more, they are chill
dren.' Therefore I believe they
should be given back to their par
ents and reared as children. There
is no reason why they should not
get along, they have been innocu-
lated and vaccinated against chill
dren's disease. If reared away from
their family they will always feel
alocf from them and they are not
one bit better than their mother, IA
| ther, brothers and sisters.
