AREAS ARE NEEDED
FOR SMALL HOMES
Subdivisions for Specific
Purpose Lacking,
Babcock States.

Critical need at the present time for
new subdivisions established expressly
for small homes was cited here today
by Frederick M. Babcock, chief of the
underwriting section Of the Federal
Housing Administration. The Housing
Administration, he said, has made def
mite studies in number Of large cities
which reveal that there are relatively
few subdivisions which provide sites
for housing Of this character.
Babcock believes that the problem
may be solved in two ways. The frst
solution involves the utilization of un-
subdivided areas and the establishment
Of these as sites for small home de-
velopments. The second Is to utilize
undeveloped existing subdivisions
which have failed to succeed as loca-
tions for higher priced properties and
provide them with protection In the
form OF deed restrictions and suitable
utilities for the specific purpose Of US
ing them as locations for houses Of
very low cost. The low-priced home
represents desirable mortgage security
when it is a part Of q rather extensive
development Of similar priced homes.
There is a definite need for suitable
low-cost housing" Babcock said. "The
principle obstacle to overcome In sup
plying such housing is the discovery of
suitable locations and the establish
ment OF such locations on a residential
basis which will enjoy the permanence
and stability characteristic of the bet
ter residential areas for higher priced
housing.
Many locations which would not
qualify for higher income groups will
be acceptable for mortgage insurance
by the Federal Housing Administration
If properly surrounded with restrictions
and coming Sites for the lower income
groups may be closer to adverse in
fluences without impairing their po-
tential utility for development Of this
character"

One thing Is certain, and that is that
we can't hope to keep them supplied
with enough Mice to keep them from
being hungry. We've got to look for
bigger game whenever we can"
Mrs. Reddy nodded. "A fat Hen or
a fat Duck would help lot now and
then," said she. I'VE must make the
most of every possible chance to get
one"
1t was Reddy's turn to nod. Il
know 1t, my dear" said he. I'VE Just
must have some fat Hens and Ducks,
but 1t isn't going to be easy to catch
them. I've been watching the hen
yards in all the farms around and
there isn't much chance Of catching
Hen or q Duck unless we do it in
broad daylight"
And that's dangerous" spoke UP
Mrs. Reddy.
Yes, my dear, that's dangerous"
said Reddy. That is why haven't
tried 1t. There's too much risk Of
being seen and perhaps followed. We
don't want these babies Of ours to be
dug out by an angry farmer. 1t is
not for myself that I am afraid. but
for the babies. However, II worst
comes TO worst, we'll have to try 1t.
In the meantime we might try for that
big Chuck who Is living down in the
lower part Of the Green Meadows this
year.
IF we work together we may be
able to catch him. I've tried for him
two or three times alone, but never
have been able to get near enough TO
spring on him.
Perhaps it is just as WELL" said
Mrs. Reddy. He looks to me as II he
would prove to be a tough fighter.
Anyway, he has shown himself to
be fairly smart
Right, my dear, he has been smart
enough not to give me a chance, but
I think that two of us working to-
gether, as only you and can work,
may be able TO get that fellow. What
do you say, my dear?"
1T is worth trying" replied Mrs.
Reddy. That Chuck is big, but he's
young Chuck at that. A young
Chuck is always good eating. That
fellow would furnish a meal for the
family"
SO Reddy and Mrs Reddy put their
heads together and planned how they
would catch that big Chuck. You
know they work together as good
partners should.
