Mortgage Rate Changes

In making the survey, the statis-
tics department of the Housing Ad-
used figures which are
believed to be average and typical

cent WAS found to be fair average
interest rate on first mortgage; 10
per cent somewhat less than aver

cent of outstanding principal was
found to be TYPICAL of the charge
made fer refinancing a first mort
gage. and second mortgages were

First mortgages. it was found,
usually ran from three to five
years. second from three to four.
First mortgages usually covered
from 50 TO go per cent of the APP
praised value of the property,
while second mortgages covered

basis the statistics department sell
ected a three year first mortgage,
four year second mortgage, with
SIS per cent of the appraised value
covered by a first mortgage and
30 per cent on the second,
Therefore, on this basis, house
which cost $4,000 would have first
mortgage for $4,400, and a second
mortgage for S2,400. The first would
carry 7 per cent interest, with a

Home Light
Methods Go
Thru Change

Artificial lighting has undergone
and is still undergoing, a radical
change, noticeable in many Ell Cen
tro homes. The tendency has been
first from wall and ceiling fixture
to lamps and now. with the in
fluencc c. modern designs, indirect
lighting is coming into greater
prominence.
1t is difficult TO say what the ul-
innate solution will be. All have
their uses ana it is probable that
a combination of the three will be
the idea arrangement. In the pure
ly utilitarian rooms. such as the
kitchen. laundry, utility room, etc,
ceiling lights for general illumina-
ticn will stay In special places,
like ever the kitchen sink. possibly
some indirect, or semi-indirect
lighting may ultimately become
standard, but where work is to be
done a strong direct light Sill be
wanted.
In the living room library. and
ether rooms CT general social uses
a combination of lamps and indirect
lighting will be used. Some gen.
eral illumination will be needed
and the sOftness of indirect light
will best serve this purpose. For
reading and for ordinary home use
lamps are preferable.
The dining room will also be
lighted indirectly for general illu-
mination, but the use OF candies on
the table will doubtless continue
as nothing is so flattering as their
soft light. Bed rooms, too, may
go to indirect lighting for general
illuminating purposes, with strOng
direct Hght-either III the form of
ceiling fixture or a lamp-at the
dressing table, or a single bulb
rosette center ceiling light for gen
eral purposes.
Multiplicity of wall receptacles
for attaching lamps and other de-
vices is certainty. The do inward
tendency Of electric rates, which is
likely To continue for some time.
and the reduction in the cost of
equipment that its increasing use
will bring about, will tend to null
tiply the number of lights used
in the average home.

1y the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO. January IA
fudge who complimented Ann Cooper
Hewitt on her bearing as q witness
pondered today whether to issue GRIM
1nal complaints against her mother
and Two doctors, accused by the 21-
year-old heiress Of duping her into a
sterilization operation.
She testified she thought it was an
appendectomy.
Asked II she would have consented
tQ be sterilized had she been con-
suited, she retorted:
Most certainly not!"
The girl, rated at II years men,
tally by q psychiatrist, testified for
almost an hour concerning the opera
ton in 1884, the basis of her $500,000
damage suit against her mother, Mrs.
Maryon Hewitt McCarter: the psy-
chiatrist, Mrs. Mary Scally; the dag
nostician, Dr.. Tilton E. Tillman, and
the surgeon, DR.. Samuel q. Boyd.
Declared "Wonderful Witness"
At the close of the hearing, Munich
pal Judge Sylvan j. Lazarus told Miss
Hewitt:
"You are a wonderful witness. It
isn't often we have people here who
testify as clearly and intelligently as
you have"
He said he would announce his de-
cision next Tuesday
Miss Hewitt, q tiny figure In the
witness chair, told Of suffering severe
abdominal pains and Of being ex-
amined by DR.. Tillman, "who looked
at me and said he guessed should
have my appendix removed" and by
Mrs. Scally. who asked Jasmine ques-
1tions."
She said Mrs. Scally represented
herself as q nurse and did not tell her
she was giving q mental test.
Miss Hewitt, who speaks French
duently, told of correcting Mrs.
Scally's pronunciation of French
word.
Never dispute a psychiatrist," re-
marked Judge Lazarus. She probably
marked you down couple of points
for that"
Miss Hewitt testified "at no time
did DR.. Tillman or DR.. Boyd take my
temperature, feel my pulse or take
q blood count"
Anne B. Lindsay, nurse who at
tended Miss Hewitt, said DR.. Boyd
told her:
Il have q case that DR.. Tillman
sent me-a 1s-year-old girl with the
mentality Of a child of II, who has
. sex complex I've got to do some
thing to protect her and her family"
Miss Lindsay described her surprise
at seeing Miss Hewitt, 'an entirely
normal girl-a grownup young woman.
I had expected a moron. I was alb
solutely taken off my feet"
Z She said DR.. Boyd later said he did
not think Miss Hewitt was a moron
but that he had accepted DR.. Till
mans findings.
Judge Lazarus said to Miss Lind
say:
II agree with you that Ann is a
most attractive girl. She has q fine
sense Of humor, too. That's going
to save you q lot Of trouble, Ann.
