COMMUNITY SERVICE
CONSIDERED A FACTOR
Contributions to Revival of Build.
ing Industry Termed Important
Element.

Home mortgage loans, insured un-
der the terms of the national housing
act, constitute today a particularly
desirable form Of investment for COM
mercial banks, according to Robert v.
Fleming, president of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank and the American Bank
ers' Association, writing in the current
issue of the Insured Mortgage Port
folio. published by the Federal Housing
Administration.
Fleming believes that forward
looking bankers must seek other
sources of earnings than those re-
sulting from strictly commercial
loans. He declares that one of these
other sources is found in home mort
gage loans assured by the Federal
Housing Administration.
Bankers who make such loans, in
his opinion, find new and desirable
investments. At the same time they
contribute to the revival of the build
ing industry while enabling fellow
citizens to obtain material stakes in
their country in the form of their
own homes. His own bank has about
sl,000,000 Of insured mortgages in its
portfolio.
I'VE, as bankers, are faced with
the very real necessity for discovering
new, and at the same time sound,
employment for our customers funds,

ming, thoroughly inspected the

The fifth Silver Star Home of

Secondhand Brick
Only Half as Safe,
Test Demonstrates

That walls Of secondhand
brick will stand only half as well
and half as safely-as those
built of new and unused bricks
has just been demonstrated by
researches Of the engineering eX-
pertinent station Of the Univer-
sity of New Hampshire at Dur
ham, N. H. Exhaustive and
highly practical laboratory tests
on more than 10000 bricks dur
ing a period of two years reveal
that mortar clings only half as
we'll to secondhand brick as to
the virgin product of the kiln.
According to station authori-
ties, brick have pores. and it is
into these pores that the mortar
penetrates to make perfect
bond" or joint between them.
Brick once used has had these
pores filled and they cannot be
filled again nor can the pores be
cleansed. Some pores may not
have been filled at the first lay
ing of the brick, and these, unless
otherwise filled by dust. SCOT or
weathering. may take some NOR
tar the second time. but COM
pared to new brick, there is only
a fifty-fifty chance of a good
bond.
