Suggests Region
Is Nudist Colony

An uniformed outsider, taking a
look at the kangaroo Kourt blotter,
would suspect that this whole COM
munity was made up of nudists.
Virtually every one of the arrests
made by the special officers just be-
fore the Fourth celebration was on
a charge of indecent exposure.
OF course the gag was that the
victim was not clad in the loud
shirt, the ten gallon hat or rodeo
button, and the stunt was to make
the victim pungle up a dollar to
help defray expenses.
On the whole, however, the en-
tire community entered into the
spirit of the occasion and many and
varied were the brilliant costumes
worn by men, women and children
during the two weeks prior to the
celebration. It was a good adver-
Using stunt and the people had a
lot of fun doing it.
The Kourt blotter, not complete
by any means, as the so-called clerk
of the Kourt and the judge and Of
ficers themselves were too busy
most of the time, to list names. But
those who did get their names list
ed were:
Elton Thomson, Kenny Hudson,
Meryl Walsh, Elmer Aman, M. M.
Moulton, Mr.. Mitchner, Frank Maui
pin, Martin CARRIER, j. Mowery.
B. F. Gerber, James Babcorn, Fred
Curel, Chuck Broder, Art France,

Many were travelling men who
enjoyed the LARK anu whose fines
will undoubtedly show up as some
thing entirely different in the ex-
pense accounts turned in at their
head offices.

booth and the display of old time

Of . commitment on new construction
and the recording Of q premium-pay-
ing mortgage may run as long as one
year, although the average period Is
about five and one-half months.
On existing construction, however.
applications for mortgage insurance
are handled in less time under pro-
cedure that has been considerably
siinplified since the Federal Housing
Administration began operations.
Mortgages selected for appraisal on
existing construction are frequently
made premium paying within two
weeks
The expansion of the insured mort
gage system Is illustrated by the fact
that premium paying mortgages year
ago amounted to around 500, ,000, 900.
The rate at which premium paying
mortgages are now being entered upon
the books Of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration Is more than double that
Of year ago.
From these premium-paying mort
cages and appraisal fees. the Federal
Housing Administration now has an
income of approximately $500.000 a
month. This income goes into the
mutual mortgage insurance fund In
the Treasury. At the present time
this fund amounts to over SIS 900, ,000

cient reserves to meet any losses which

Total of Premium-Paying
instruments Insured Near
ing Half Billion.

Premium-paying mortgages insured
by the Federal Housing Administra-
tion are being recorded at the rate Of
about 100000 q week. and by April
l should reach close to the half
billion-dollar mark. On February %
they amounted to $463 3.135.00.
These figures, however, do not ade-
quately describe the volume Of busi-
ness transacted under the insured
mortgage system. Mortgages accepted
for insurance which provide a more
accurate measure of Federal Housing
Administration transactions under
title II of the national housing act
totaled $667 .467. .957 on February 28.
1897 The difference Is accounted for
chiefly by the fact that under the law
mortgages accepted for insurance on
new construction cannot be converted
into premium paying mortgages until
the construction has been completed
and finally approved by the Federal
Housing Administration inspectors.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. Ill, March 6.-Decora-
tors are beginning to draw a distinct
line between early American furnish
ings of the rugged New England type
and the more elegant decorative style
typif1ed by Colonial Williamsburg. In
clarifying American periods decorators
point out that the furniture of these
two backgrounds should not be ex-
pected to dwell peaceably in the same
room any more than you could expect
New England frontiersman and a
Virginia plantation owner to feel
equally at home in the same room.
In studying these two distinct Amer
lean periods home makers are learn
ing color schemes that serve as fitting
foils for each. One decorator, with a
fondness for Williamsburg. reveals how
the richness of Colonial America can
be adapted to modern-day tastes in a
living room that has white painted
walls around a fireplace enameled
grayed blue green. Other walls in
the room are painted blue green. The
molding also has been given a coat of
blue green, while the Dashboard is
painted taupe to match the carpet.
Around the effectively high-spotted
fireplace are grouped a pair of ma
hogany Chippendale love seats uphol-
stored in green and rose linen, but
Ter tray" an candle stands. Nearby
are gold upholstered mahogany chairs,
also some mulberry red and gray ones,

tables.
