It held first place among some OF the

with the high priests in decorating

loved the agate for finger-ring sets.
In some places the "cat's-eye" was
used in the place of money. In China
It held second place to jade. and the
Chinese believed that the red In agate

Most Of the agate stones known to-
DAY were also known in ancient times
and under the same name. Today
there are many places where they can
be picked up, and almost all of the
varieties can be purchased for small
amount. There have been exquisite
ones found along the streams which
intersected the great lava fields Of the
Western United States and on the
sand beaches Of Oregon and Califor-
mia, as well as in Uruguay and Brazil.
The agate must pass through long,
long period before it is found by the
questing mineralogist or semi-precious
stone collector. The best ones have
been found in volcanic rock. At the
time the melted lava flowed, 1t con-

HOME MORTGAGE
LOANS ON UPSW|NG
Three of Every Four Agen.
cies Under F. H. A. Rules
Is Extending Credit.

Insured home mortgage loans for
between rs and 80 per cent Of the
appraised value of the property are
being made today by three out of
every four private financial institu-
tions actively making such loans un-
der regulations of the Federal Housing
Administration. The institutions max
ing such loans have originated 81
per cent Of all mortgages accepted for
insurance.
At the present time 4,132 separate
institutions approved as mortgages
by the Housing Administration are
actively making insured mortgage
loans. Many Of these institutions have
branch ofhces, varying in pumber all
the way from / up to 1872
1t was further announced that the
largest proportion of insured mort
gage loans are being made by COM
mercial banks, 36.3 per cent by ma
tional banks and 80 per cent by
State banks.
Predictions Not Carried Out.
When the national housing act
was passed with its provisions for
insIring mortgages made up to 80
per cent Of the property appraisal,
predictions were freely made that
conservative banks and other private
financial institutions would not write
such high percentage mortgages, even
though they were insured by Gov
ernmental agency.
While more than 5000 separate in
stitutions have actually written such
mortgages, it was pointed out, it
cannot be inferred that the others
would not write such mortgages also.
Many of the others have not yet had
the opportunity to make 80 per cent
mortgages as in many cases the bor-
rover does not need the full 80 per
cent loan.
Very significant is the fact that
such q large number of commercial
banks that heretofore have fought
shy OF mortgage loans are now writ
ing mortgages under the Housing
Administrators insured mortgage
