Since the establishment of the

type in the country as a whole, &C

Washington by the Federal Home
Loan Bank board

tional figure is 74.8 per cent.
March figures indicate that the
monthly volume of loans negotiated
in Indiana and Michigan is only
slightly below three million dollars
month.
Can Handle More Loans
Funds are available to increase
this monthly total, according to
Fred T. Greene, president of the
indianapolis Federal Home Loan
Bank, who says:
1here is no longer any need to
delay in borrowing adequate funds
to restore neglected homes, or to buy
needed homes for families crowded
together during the depression.
Funds are available in the local as
sociations and in their reserve funds
in this bank to meet the borrowing
needs of home owners in Marion
County"
Money already borrowed through
member associations, Mr.. Greene ex-
plains, have been used as follows:
3o.5 per cent for refinancing; 21.8
per cent for home purchase; 1877
per cent for new construction; 11.2
per cent for repairs and recondi-
tioning, and 1913 per cent for other
but kindred purposes.

Indiana's Old : Age
Payments Draw
Comment.
by JOHN T. FLYNN.

MTASHINGTON. May ia
~ Many states are adopting
old-age assistance laws in accord
snce with the new Federal Social
Security Act. To date 80 states
have passed such laws. This looks
like a good record. But when you
examine it you are a little taken
aback by the old-age benefits which
some states propose to pay.

Mississippi presents its aged with
an even more insoluble problem by
proposing to grant them an aver
age of $3.50 a month.
Of course the states will not pay
all Of this. The Federal govern
ment will put up half of it under
the new act. Hence Mississippi
proposes to contribute to it's aged
citizens the magnificent grant of
$1.75 a month. l am not certain
about the figures but believe most
places, including Mississippi, do
far better for their prisoners. After
providing them with shelter and
clothing there is usually an allow
ance Of not lesc than 30 cents a day
or SO a month for food alone,
bought and prepared upon a mass
basis.
nNE explanation of these mea-
~ ger grants by states is that
the states simply have not got
the money. The comment on
that must be that it is both true
and false.
The states have the money, but
not for social insurance. Of course
this does not apply to all states.
But most Of them are so heavily
in debt that their resources are be-
ing consumed by the payment of
interest
Credit is the wings upon which
communities fly upward But in
mid-air the wings of credit become
dead weights of debt. The states
In the years after 1921 went in for
all sorts of expansion and improve
ment on vast scale But they
cid not pay for those improve
ments. They borrowed huge sums.
Now they owe those sums. One
state which had a debt of $13,-
100000 in 1920 has a debt of more
than $200,000000 now. That state
has to pay out every year $8,000,0 900
in interest at the very least.
Therefore, it can afford to pay only
81 a month to its INDECENT old peo-

TN answer to every demand upon
L states in the future the de-
mand for schools, for public serv-
ices, for roads, for health and cul-
tural and welfare activities-this
cry of mo money" will be heard.
1t means no money for anything
because the money must go to
service old debts-debts incurred to
pay for the prosperity of 1923 to
1929-that fatal prosperity whose
debts hang around our necks now
like millstones.
1t is about time we turned our
thoughts TO this question of our
state and county and city debts.
We must sooner or later face them
or halt all progress in :he develop
ment of the social services.

CHAPTER XVII

Mrs. Sardoni's apartment house
was built of brick. It stood on a
semibusinesS street on a corner
lot, d situation which gave it an
airy, sunny advantage. It was
small, containing only four apart
ments, and had garages at the
rear. Bright red geraniums rioted
all over the small front lawn dur
ing the summer. At this time of
year, there was only d green glim-
mer, as it were, to the yard. We
assembled two flat stone steps to
the outer door, entered that and
were facing the vestibule door,
which was thanked by four mail
boxes and four speaking tubes.
AS the inspector rang the bell of
Mrs. Sardoni'S apartment, I tried
the inner door. It was unlocked,
as usual. The inspector gave his

"And at what hour did he
leave?"
Really! 1t is not my habit to
sit in the hall with stop watch
and time my neighbours visits!
Your questions are more extraor-
binary. I have never seen him
leave later than $3.50, and that is
all I can say about it."
The Inspector decided it was
time to close the interview.
THAT is all quite helpful.
Thank you very much, Miss Sass, !"
he murmured, ushering her out
of the door most hurriedly and
skillfully. 'Whew!" he said once
she had gone, "a pleasant guide
and friend for our young boys
and girls!"
He let me out Of my closet,
picked up another paper on his
desk, and considered it for a mo-

At 1880 we went to lunch at the

coffee or tea from elephant pots.

Greenland dish (fat pork and cab
bage) for Capt. Bob and elegant pie
for lunch. Only four phone calls
came for DR.. Mann during that time.
After luncheon we met Head
Keeper Blackburn and went back with
Capt. Bob to look at the elephants, the
snakes again, and other animals. We
went to see the big cats fed and found
the whole troupe from local theater's
stage show there to watch and to talk
to DR.. Mann. They were still In make
up-had i've shows and no time to
