l have heard other critics say
that baseball customers relish a

fight, but how many honest to

OF all athletes, baseball players are
the worst fighters. Their bark is
terrific, but when it comes right
down to throwing punches-punch-

poodlish. They scream home runs
and throw bunts.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Substan-
tial progress toward the fulfillment
of one Of the principal aims Of the
Insured Mortgage SyStem-increas-
ing the marketability of mortgage
investments held by lending agen-
cies-is reported by the Federal
Housing Administration in its third
annual report.
Ready saleability of this new
type of investment security is DEM
Cnstrated by the fact that approxi-
mately Is per cent of all insured
loans have been sold by the origi-
mating institutions to other ap-
proved agencies. Transactions total
more than S60,00000O.
Another new development which
increases the availability of home
mortgage money is the growing
of mortgage-lending in

Following no particular ar
chitectural period, this house
derives its chief charm from
painted brick walls and low
roof. The plan is adapted TO
a climate where one must seek
shelter from the SUMS rays.
The dark GOODNESS of the liv-
ing room is welcome here, but
would hardly be suitable in a
northern setting where for
many months of the year
direct sunshine is desired in all
rooms at least part of the day.
The kitchen is a little larger
than most modern houses of
this size require. The bed
rooms are of adequate size and
the inclusion of the garage in
the body of the house follows
the modern trend. The house,
located in Tulsa, Okla, cost
$500 and the lot an additional
$3.50. The Federal Housing
Administration has insured
mortgage for $4,000 on the

QUESTIONS
AND
ANSWERS

O. / have a very narrow lot and
want to build a one-story house.
How can l get proper light in all
my rooms?
A. If the distractions to your
natural light and ventilation on the
sides are close, It is advisable to re-
plan your house to have the same
amount of space on two floors, with
the rooms arranged so that your
light comes from the front, and
back.
@. l have q lot which drops
abruptly down from the street level.
Is it practical to build home here?
A. Sloping lots often lend them
selves to attractive variations from
conventional room arrangements by
the use of different levels adapted
to the natural slope of the ground.
Scch a house is often complicated
in plan and expensive to build; it
is therefore advisable that you con-
suit a competent architect.
90
@. want to build and have two
lots in mind: One is on a major
thoroughfare and the other on a
side street. Which should l choose?
A. Your choice should be the
property on the side street rather
than the one on a major thorough
fare where there is heavy traffic,
more noise and danger, and less
privacy.
Q. | am going to build and want
my living room to be just right,
what are the main elements to be
considered in its design?
A. The living room. as the meet
ing place of the family group,
should be the largest room in the
house. It's size will vary with the
size of the house, the size and cir
cumstances of the family group,
and the contemplated use OF the
room. The living room should be
given a favored location as to eX-
posura to sunlight and attractive
views, and it should be conven-
iently accessible to other rooms.

BILL PROVIDES
DC. ROAD AID

Approximately 100000 in Fed
eral road funds would be allotted
the District each year under the
terms of a bill introduced by Sena-
tor William H. King CDD of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, to make this city eligi-
BILE for Federal aid in the same
manner as the States and Hawaii.
Washington I. Cleveland, man
ager of the local branch of the
American Automobile Association,
today declared that his organiza-
tion favored the bill. He said:
"While Federal aid is appOr-
toned to the States on the basis
of area, population and road
mileage, provision is made for
the smaller States to get q of
l per cent of the total. Thus
States like Delaware, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and Rhode Island
and the Territory of Hawaii now
receive about $6O9,0O0 annually.
The District of Columbia, if the
King bill is passed, would receive
approximately the same amount"
