PR0FITING
. EARLY GAINS
IN STOCKS
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, May 81 0.N.SO .
Light profit-taking made it's ap-
pearance in the stock market
today after yesterdays recovery
had been extended in earlier
trading, with gains in the gen.
eral list being pared to a mini
mum.
Utilities had first-hour gains
running to more than a point
cut in half. A fairly firm tone,
however, was retained by Amer
lean Water Works, Electr C
Power and Light issues, North
American, and Consolidated Edi-
son.
All gains in the motor section
we're wiped out, with General
Motors and Chrysler dropping
back to their previous closingS.
Steels were only slightly i'm
proved, Bethlehem and U. S.
Steel showing minimum frac-
tional gains.
Although AtchiSon spurted about
a point in the rails, some irregu-
larity was apparent. Great North
ern and Southern Pacific dipped
under last nights final quotations,
while New York Central and Bal
timore and Ohio ruled slightly
higher.
Coppers, oils and aviations were
quiet and little changed. Build
ing stocks were buoyant under the
lead of JohnS-Manville and United
States Gypsum, each of which
climbed two points.
Bonds maintained an irregular
front.

GUEST HOUSE NEAR
WARDMAN:
Surroundings add much to the
plaSure of living, so when you are
considering a place to live, it is
always best to give this much
thought. Near Wardman Park
on fashionable Garfield Street, is
a guest house that will answer all
the requirements. At this writing
there Is a large, cool room that
overlooks Wardman Park Hotel
that would be suitable for one or
two persons. The meals, which
are served under the personal
supervision of the owner, are re
puted to be the best in town.
CONN. AVENUE
UNFURNISHED APT:
Turning around the corner and
continuing away up Connecticut
Avenue, I discovered a vacancy
that will be available June /. It
is exceptionally well worth look
ing into two lovely big rooms
dinette, kitchen and bath that
rents for only $62.50. Imagine
the value here; all the rooms face
Connecticut Avenue and are well
proportioned. If you are inter
ested, I suggest your immediate
inspection.
ROOM AND BOARD:
Another very nice place to live
is over on upper Eighth Street
N. w. You can reach here by the
Petworth bus. The room is very
pleasant and from the windows
one has a view of the lovely sur.
rounding gardens. There is a
recreation room and porch half
way around the house that are at
the disposal of the guests. There
are no other roomerS; this is
strictly a private home, so you
will get the benefit of home
cooked meals. Price is $75 a
month for two.

Of this year the Class 1 carriers
increased their maintenance Of
way expenses by nearly 20 per
cent over the same quarter of
1885, and by nearly so per cent
over the corresponding quarter

was due to higher wages, a part
to increases In material costs,

building and buying more definitely in
the future than its refinancing loans,
since the primary purpose of the
agency's establishment was the re-
lease of funds for home building. The
Home Owners Loan Corp, of course,
ceased operations on June u, so that
the great bulk of distress financing
will now be removed from current
mortgage refinancing activities"
Mr. Pellet said that the building
and loan associations refinancing
loans have averaged about 81, 500 each,
all of them debts which would have
been carried along indefinitely by the
families incurring them under the
once popular straight mortgage sys-
tenn with its demand for periodic re-
newals Of the principal by the lending
agency. Now that they have been
transferred to the new basis the ma
jority of these borrowers can reason
ably be expected to own debt-free
homes inside of 8 to IL years, al

HOME EQUITIES
BEING INCREASED
Building and Loan League
Cites Refinancing by
Private Funds.

Refinancing of home mortgages TAX
ing place since last october has paved
the way for some 10000 families to
increase their equity in the property
each month, the United States Build
ing and Loan League points out A
definite sign of the return to more
normal conditions in the field is seen
in the fact that majority of the
transfers of existing debts were to
privately financed lending agencies
rather than to emergency Government
lending bodies.
The figures, given date from Octo-
Der because the savings, building and
loan associations began to keep
month -to-month records of their lend
ing at this point, and these associa-
tions did the largest block Of the
october. to May refinancing among
the non distress agencies. They wrote
some 78,500 loans, formerly held by
other lenders, on their monthly re-
payment plan which kills off the debt
Systematically. During the same pc
riod the financing institutions using

Borrowers Gain.
In the case of all three types of
ref1nancing arrangements the bor-
rowers gain an increasing interest in

L. w. Pellet, Newburgh, president
of the league. says that a most impor-
tant influence of the increasing per-
centage of monthly repayment loans
in the entire mortgage structure will
be the reviving concern Of the owners
for their property. once they begin to
see their increasing participation in
its ownership. The psychology as well

Servative estimate of the population

Drive Encircles Area.
At Langston the traffic problem is
met by driveway encircling the de-
veloped area. This would lead into
Benning road, one of the main eastern
entrances to Washington and crowded
always with motor vehicles. There
will be no cross streets or alleys, as
in neighboring sections south of Ben
ming road, to create traffic problems.
Langston Courts will be an entity to

prestige behind them, the so odd hous-

There is another aspect to the pic

equally important. The cost of main

an onerous burden on the taxpayer.

area is croSscI by streets laid of like

Safety Is Consideration.
The Cincinnati project, as planned,
is intended to demonstrate how a sub
division within a crowded district can
be made comparatively safe for ten
ants.
In the first place, it contains no
through streets. There are no alleys
to complicate traffic conditions within
the area. 1t is served by well-guarded
trade entrances and pedestrian walks.
Large Fairgrounds provide maximum
of safety and freedom for children.
The Concinnati project, as well as
Langston Courts and others, are as
adequately protected against traffic
hazards as it is possible to provide in
a city.
AS these housing projects are de-
signed for families of low income, it
stands to reason that children largely
predominant, for the children OF the
tenements, as statistics show, greatly
outnumber the children of well-to-do
families. The Government experts
had this problem in mind when they
planned the housing projects with
view to recreational convenienceS as
well as the regulation Of traffic.

Mr.. Pellet predicted that the past
few months will probably be recorded
as the peak period for shifts in the
status of existing mortgage debts, be-
cause of the growing need from now
on for all types of mortgage funds
for new home financing and for the
