 "The purpose of these loans has been served in many instances. Fol example, the auctioneer was send- ing thousands of homes under the hammer when the HOLC stepped in."
 The Reconstruction Finance Cor poration, Byrns continued, also saved important industries from bankruptcy through government loans.
 Byrns reiterated that he did not believe the house would pass new taxes unless 1t was absolutely nec- essary to safeguard the credit of the nation.
 He seemed confident that the highly infiationary Frazicr-Lemke farm mortgage bill would not be passed in the lower chamber.

 The allied war debts to the United States are now in default and $1 COG, 100000 in arrears.

BUSINESS UPTREND

Boston, Feb. 5.-(UP)-Business indices in the New England area point to continuation of the up- trend, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, said in its weekly review today.
 During the past week retail trade improved and wholesale lines kept up well, reflecting optimism of the retailers. Electricity output gained 5.7 per cent over year ago and was up 0.6 per cent as compared with the preceding week. Clothing business which set new peak of activity in 1885 progressed further. Vol prices continued firm.
 On the adverse side, the shoe fac- tories were somewhat spotty as sev- eral companies awaited definite in- dication of the demand for various styled lines. Weather conditions were unfavorable to building and that line fell under the average for the two preceding months. Uncer- tainties continued in cotton goods with mill activity below last years level. Sales of finished rayon goods was reported slower but rayon yarns were active with prices steady.

and rubbed his hands over his face.
Where will We hide him?" Gertie
asked.

and while he huddled down they

They were hardly done when there

Gertie. He don't mean no wrong.

Then why does he drink?" asked
Anna.

This morning he couldn't do enough

'He tries"
The last piece of clothing was on
the lines and the two women sat on
the steps and wiped their faces with
their aprons. A sparrow flew toward
the clothes and Anna jumped up and
tapped her hands at it.

Gertie turned and looked at Anna
and smiled.
