A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR SERVICE.

The republican national convention
got under way in Cleveland Tuesday
1t is expected that balloting for the
presidential nominee will be started to-
day. The convention faces an oppor-
tunity to perform great service to the
nation. It will help to write history.
What comes out of that gathering may
exert a tremendous influence on the
future of the United States. on whether
or not this government shall remain a
government of personal liberty or
whether it shall take on some form of
dictatorship similar to what is being
tried out in Europe
There is a magnificent opportunity
for the party of Lincoln to take forth
right and unquestioned stand in be-
half of human rights, of justice be-
tween man and man, of more of the
good things of life for everyone, and

How Old Can We Get?

reached the age of 100, and that
no case of life exceeding 100
years has occurred in the expert
ence of insurance companies.
Investigated Centenarians
Mr.. Thoms began investigating
his alleged centenarians with as
tonishing results. He didn't find
any. He easily demolished the
claims of Thomas Parr and Henry
Jenkins. There was no proof that
the Henry Jenkins who appeared
in Chancery Court was the Henry
Jenkins alleged to be 169 when he
died.
In running down living cases Of
alleged ce1tenarians he found this
story repeated indefinitely:
Mary Unterworth died in Liver
pool in 1863 at the alleged age of
112. years, six months. In going
back to the register Of the parish
where she was born, it was easy
to establish that her parents were
Charles and Margaret Unterworth.
They had several, children-one
Mary, sure enough, born in 1851,
which would have made her 112
if she died in 1868. But she
actually died in 1766-aged 10
recorded in the parish register.
When two years later the marriage
was blessed with another daughter,
they named her Mary in memory
Of her dead sister, but failed to
have her baptized; this was elected
by evidence from collateral MEM
bers of the family. So that Mary
was actually 95 when she died,
not 112.
When careful studies are made,
the conclusion is that it is wildly
improbable that any human being
has ever lived more than 10 years.
One hundred is about the outside
| limit.
Now as to how to do this, the
one factor centenarians have in
common is long lived parents. So
Oliver Wendell Holmes advice is
best:
"The first thing to be done is,
some years before birth, to adver-
tise for a couple of parents both
belonging to long-lived families.
Especially let the mother come of
a race in which octogenarians and
nonagenarians ere very common
phenomena. There are practical
difficulties in following out this
suggestion, but possibly the fore
thought Of your progenitors, or
that concurrence of circumstances
which we call accident, may have
arranged this for you"

For Civic Improvement

February this year totaled S3O,92O
in value. Permits through March
last year totaled only $12,023,
while permits this month have
brought the season total to more
than $4,000.
The comparison 10 1884, in the
matter of figures, is not SO favor
able, but becomes brighter when
it is considered that one $4,000
permit, to the Bank of America,
helped pile up a total of $38,920
through February, as against this
years figure of S30920 for the
same period. Through March the
1884 total was $44,877, a figure
which probably will be surpassed
by this years total for the first
three months if several expected
permits are issued.

The Federal Housing Admins
tration, NARROW pointed cut. has
set up certain standards as one
Cf its requirements for mortgage
insurance One condition fer
mortgage insurance is that no
materials of an inferior quality be
used.
The average person is unfami-
liar with construction problems
and therefore may be an easy
victim when he gets bid much
lower than others submitted to
him and lower than he had ex-
peCted,' the Federal Housing Ad
ministration official said.
1--WE warn all persons TO be care
full in signing contracts for either
repairs or new homes. If they
go ahead with an incompetent )r
dishonest builder they may expect
poor materials and workmanship
from which they will suffer mat
erial loss within a few years.
Among the properties thrown
back on mortgages during the de-
preston have been hundreds which
were not worth the price of the
mortgage because the work had
been shoddily and dishonesty
done. This has borne heavily on
the owners, preventing them from

Early indications this week point
ed to one Of the greatest building
years in the history of Ell Centro,
according to figures made avail
able at the office of Philip w.

Permits issued already this year
exceed in value those issued dur
ing the first three months of 1885
by more than $4,000. Most en-
couraging feature of this years
building, however, is that most of
the permits issued by the city en-
gineer are forl medium priced
dwellings, for business improve
ments, or for new business struc-
lures. The indication is one of
community growth, rather than
concentrated individual spending.
The largest permit issued so far
this year was to M. o. Simms for
a $4,000 residence building.
In comparison TO last year, the
building picture in Ell Centro is
especially bright. Permits issued

The most modern home in Amer

Sixth and Sandalwood streets in Ell
Centre.
This structure called the New

a competition conducted by the
General Electric company last year
in which over 1000 architects from
all over the nation submitted the
best designs from their drawing
boards. Sitting as judges were ar
chitectural authorities of world re-
noWn.
This competition was promoted by
the General Electric company as a
move to stimulate the building of
better and more livable homes in
line with the detectives of the Fed
eral Housing Administration.
For weeks past now curious Ell
Centrans have been watching the
construction of this unique house.
1t seems to have stimulated the
imagination of all who have wit

FHA to Maintain
Strict Practice
For Collections

A reasonable, yet rigid policy
will be maintained by the Federal
Housing Administration in regard
to collecting of claims on indiVid-
uals defaulting under the modern"
izatiCn credit plan, w. G. Bing-
ham, associate director, for south
ern California announced Satur-
day.
The housing administrations
collection policy, Bingham said,
will be enforced with the same
insistence followed by the treas
ury department in its tax collec-
tions, and the general public
should be acquainted with this
fact.
THE procedure is we'll defined.
When a borrower under the mod
ernization credit plan defaults on
a loan, the lending institution files
claim with the administration for
the insurance on the loan. The
matter Of collecting the defaulted
obligations then is turned over to
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton.
I'm such cases it will be the
Federal Housing Administration s
policy tC be as rigid as the treas
ury department in making collec-
tions. 1t is to be understood, how
ever, that borrowers in default
will net be treated as tax evaders
are treated, but rather along the
same lines as an individual default
Of tax payments. The collection
machinery is well organized and,
every reasonable consideration will
be given borrowers in default, the
public must not get the impression
that the Housing Administration
will be lax in its duty"
