GLASS MAKERS
DELAY BALLOT
IN DISPUTE

PITTSBURGH, July 20 Q.N.SO.
Reversing a previous vote, the reg
ular convention of the Federation
of Flat Glass workers today tabled
a proposal to submit its inferno
cine dispute to John L. Lewis for
arbitration.
The rift grew out of ownership
Of the unions magazine which
was claimed by both President
Glen w. McCabe, whom the regu-
lar convention seeks to GUST, and
the executive board. The trump"
convention of unSeated delegates
who favor retention Of McCabe
had already agreed to adhere to
Lewis ruling.
The regular convention tabled
the proposal for another vote
later, either today or tomorrow.
McCabe Stalked out of today'S
meeting of the regular conven-
ton when delegates INTERRUPTED
him frequently during a Seech he
was invited to make. He shouted:
81 do not intend to sit here
and be crOss-examined. I'm not
on the witness stand. I'll retire.
This fight Is the most high
handed and unprincipIed method
ever practiced in a labor union.
There has been no courtesy or
decency shown me as president.
The ownership of the newspaper
was established in the Ohio
courts and 1 do not intend to
70 on trial again."
McCabe recently won referen-
dunn vote after a suit in the Ohio
courts for the magazines funds
ended in compromise and the ex-
ecutive board sought to GUST him.

SAVANT TELLS
OF LOST RACE

Here to interest the Smithso-
MAN Institution in an ancient
"lost" burial ground he discovered
in Northwest Mexico five years
ago, Paxson C. Hayes, California
ethnologist, performed a double
mission yesterday when he de-
livered 40 snakes to the Zoo.
The snakes, California red rat
tiers, Mexico terrificuS and Ari-
iona bull snakes, were brought
from Prescott, Ariz., where the
Smoki, a tribe of white men who
each year conform to the ancient
Indian snake dance rites, offered
them as present to President
Roosevelt.
MummieS in Cave
The story that Hayes, and his
companion, Gerald C. Barnes,
have to tell is interesting.
Five years ago while hunting
for a lost city in the state of
Sonora, Hayes ran across a cave.
Examining it he found deep in its
winding pathways, weird burial
ground with "a bodies, nine Of
which were mummified, near the
ashes of a great fire.
The mummified bodies were
wrapped in a fiber cloth which
scientists have been unable to
identify as the product of any
known Indian tribe. The mummies
retained their features. The others
were just a mass of bones.
Removal Forbidden
When Hayes attempted to pre-
serve the bodies and bones and
bring them to the United States,
the Mexican government objected.
The examination must be held
in Mexico and by a recognized
organization, so Hayes has de-
cided to interest the officials OF
the Smithsonian Institution.
Hayes hopes to conduct an ex-
petition into Mexico within the
next year. But so far, the bodies
remain a "loSt race"

and the beautiful black eyes with
golden bands scan eagerly every leaf
that may harbor likely insect or two.
The large roundish head makes the
traveller look bit top-heavy, and the
short, stubby legs seem rather made
quate for the body, which often
reaches a length Of 6 inches. There
are four toes on the front feet and
five on the hind ones. Spread apart,
they are capable of carrying the owner
swiftly over the ground.
Be not fooled when the salamander
stops in his tracks to give you a
searching look Satisfied he is gone
in flash. Upon reaching the pool,
Spotty joins his friends and neighbors
who have arrived before him. There
we lose sight of him. He finds his
mate If all goes well, though his an
cestral pool is place filled with ag-
gressive foes, intent upon feasting on
such a plump salamander.
A visit to the pool later may reward
you with sight Of the pretty little
egges, about the size of small pea,
anchored to the stem of water plant,
growing close to the waters edge. II

hundreds Of similar ones. They take
longer to hatch than do those Of the
frogs or toads, and also the sala-
mander youngsters are not in so great

vorable, the tiny little salamander will
emerge from the tough egg envelope.
He Is rather festive-appearing. He
has gray stripes running along the
sides Of his body and three wee
punches of bright red gills on each
side Of his broad head. His tail is
very thin and long, and is used as a
rudder. This natal attire is soon
changed to a greenish coat with a
buff below. BY August he has ac-
quired legs, and discarded his gills.
Once more he dons new garments,
this time handsome black velvet
mantle with golden splashes upon it.
1t is time to leave his birthplace. He
sallies forth. Moss and leaves are
inspected for his home now. His
breathing apparatus having changed
completely, he will live upon the
ground, stalking earthwormS and such
creatures that abound near his home
lands.
During his life he will shed his tight
clothes in the same fashion his neigh
Dor snakes do, but he has this most
unusual habit-he swallows them!
Salamanders really make charming
pets. 1t is great fun to see them
stalk aphids, the little beasts that
consume your priced plants The
eagerness of the little hunter and
his willingness to stay with you make
the friendship a happy one for both.
You know, of course, that salamanders
must be given very moist spots to live
in-an aquarium will be acceptable.

tat situation for your pet.

SPECULATION CUT
BYF. H. A. SYSTEM
Activities Create Field for
Good Real Estate
Investments.

Development of national home
construction program, financed by pri-
vate capital under terms of the Fed
eral Housing Administration insured
mortgage system, creates a condition
in the real estate market where good
real estate investments, rather than
good real estate speculations, are
available to the public, Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald said today.
While the widespread adoption of
the insured mortgage system has given
further impetus to the factor of
neighborhood control, thereby creating
better environments and decreasing
occupancy costs and removing to a
great degree investment hazard from
home ownership and mortgage invest
ment, any ideas on the part Of the
public that such operations open a
field for speculation are misguided, ac-
cording to the administrator.
Reasonable Return.
Successful operation and owner
ship of real estate, financed under
the insured mortgage SYSTEM he said,
is predicated entirely upon an ex-
pectation of reasonable return from
the direct services Of the property,
rather than from any form of real
estate manipulation. The insured
mortgage system makes such proper
ties successful investment, rather
than speculation, as 1t assures sta
bility and a minimum of mortgage
risk. These factors represent security.
On the other hand speculation does
not require security but is inevitably
related to the presence of risk
Elements of uncertainty which ex-
listed in out-moded forms of mortgage
practice have been eliminated he said,
and have been replaced by definite
system of amortized mortgage pay
ment-payable like rent, covering in
terest, principal, taxes and fire and
other insurance. No longer, under the
insured mortgage system, has the
home purchaser any worry concern
ing payments on second mortgages.
1t is also unlikely for home pur-
chaser to find himself in an embar-
RAISING financial predicament under
the plan, as the limitations of the in
sured mortgage system tend to pre-
vent a person buying home beyond
his means.
Stability Sought.
TT should be thoroughly under
stood that while the Federal Housing
Administration has promoted marked
increase in the real estate market, it
has in no way encouraged specula-
ton. Every factor in the govern
mental insurance of mortgages has
been evolved with the express purpose
of increasing stability. In SO doing,
speculative factors have been discour-
aged to a great degree, if not COM
pletely eliminated.
1.-The requirement Of 20 per cent
down payment and the long-term
equal monthly plan OF mortgage pay
ment is further evidence Of the check
rein placed upon speculative and IN
sound mortgage practice. This, cou-
pied with minimum property stand
ards with which a home must con-
form to be eligible for mortgage in
surance adds to this general stability.
Therefore, sound building, financed
through a stable system of mortgage
financing, produces large field for
investment, but scarcely can be con-
sidered a desirable field for specula-
tive enterprise"

Moisture, gases and chemicals hasten
corrosion, and electrolysis is a large
factor. Buried pipes show largest de-
terioration, especially where covered
by soil. Protective methods are yalu-

Home Plan Extended to
Hundreds of Towns
Throughout States,

The widespread distribution Of
home mortgages insured by the Fed
eral Housing Administration is shown
by survey just completed by the
Division Of Economics and Statistics
This survey shows that the Federal
Housing Administration system has
been extended throughout the 48
States, penetrating to hundreds Of
small communities outside of metro
politan areas
More than Is per cent of the mort
cages insured by the Federal Housing
Administration have been on proper
ties located in towns of less than $500

To Be Available to All.
The insured mortgage program was
established with view to making its
benefits available in every nook and
corner of the Nation. Prior to passage
of the national housing act, thou
sands of small communities in the
country, isolated from the money cen
ters, suffered from lack of mortgage
money for the construction of homes.
In such communities, the potential
home builder was dependent wholly
on the local bankers supply of funds
for mortgage lending, and, further
more, when such money was available,
the interest rates generally were far
above those permitted by the Federal
Housing Administration. Not only
was the mortgage money inadequate
