Mrs. Donaldson admitted that

Once he made Mrs. Donaldson
rehearSe a scene from 2 o'clock in
the afternoon until 8 o'clock that
night. He didn't like the way she
screamed. He goaded her until in
a rage of WEAKNESS and ragged
nerves she screamed at the top
of her lungs and tainted. BelaSco
came around later and oatted her
hand:
"YOu did beautifully, my dear.
I made you live 20 years tonight.
That last scream was just what
wanted"
Mrs. Donaldson paused in her
narrative, looked apologetically at
her watch:
I'm so sorry, / have a lunch

any story? We had so much to
talk about. I don't see how you
could! Thank you so much for

LAW ISURGED
BY WOMEN

Complete failure of Congress to
pass regulatory food, drugs and
cosmetic legislation, or any half
way" measure enacted by that
body during this session, will only
add impetus to the fight now beng
waged by women for consumer

chairman of the National League
of Women Voters, told members
of the general council meeting in
executive session at the Hotel
Washington today. She said:
"The rising cost of foods has
given impetus to the widespread
interest among women in food
and drug legislation. In order
to be certain they are getting
full value for their money they
are insisting on informative la
beIing on canned and packaged
foods and the establishment Of
standards Of quality.
'If women will continue to in

The Washington times., 1937-01-18

President last November, predicted
riots and bloodshed unless the rate
of Federal foreclosures was slowed.
He is asking for moratorium on
mortgages. In his criticism of the
present program he put the Hole
foreclosure rate at 1,400 a week,
which is about right, and the FCA
foreclosure rate at 1000 a week,
which is away above the actual
figure of 1000 a month at its
peak, or hardly more than 200
week.
Whatever the final outcome of
events which now point to greater
consideration of every sort for the
home buyer, it is still evident and
undoubtedly will continue to hold
true that distress can come to
those who can't rehabilitate them
selves when a cyclone strikes, even
though they may find temporary
shelter in the cyclone cellar of the
Hole, the FILA or some other
Federal agency,
The Washington times., 1937-01-18
Moratorium Expires

1t is explained by Hole off
cials that many of the mortgages
foreclosed by that agency were on
properties covered by the mort
gage moratorium expiring last
June. An adjustment was reached
in about 7 per cent of the cases
where foreclosures were begun
in 1896, resulting in withdrawal
of 4,377 foreclosures after ti,ey
were started. Even so, the num-
ber remaining is Startlingly
high, with one mortgage in every
II being foreclosed during a sin
gle calendar year. The answer is,
obviously, that liquidation of dis
tressed property owners has not
been completed by any means,
and that there are heartaches
ahead for many a family which
until now has been able to hang
on to pre-panic acquisitions in the
form of real estate. =

Opposition Apparent

The banker-artist soliloquized:
"Of course. that would be the
ideal solution. But imagine the
reaction Of the aristocratic New
York banker If that were to be
proposed! 'What!' he would say.
We are trying to do a banking
business. and you want to give
us lot Of mortgages? My, oh,
my! We don't want that!'"
And yet, this authority re-
marked. there is no essential diff
ference in the substance of the
security, and there is every Simil-
arity of need and function be-
tween commercial banking and
home mortgage finance, in so far
as both call for the maintenance
of an adequate, sound and elastic
reserve system. The commercial
banks argue that they must keep
liquid. But when cotton and wheat

comes crashing about their
ears, and when the bond market
hits the toboggan and winds up
with the rest at the bottom of
panic prices-well, maybe a sound

ing real estate market during
this two-year interval, accom-
panied by a general improvement
in business conditions.
Somewhere along the line
Washington hopes to see a
changed conception of home
mortgages as an investment. In
the old days the first mortgage
was considered pretty sound. The
widows and orphans and the old
men with a little money to in
vest put it into a first mortgage
in the reasonable assumption that
they were thereby getting safety
and per cent" That time
seems to have returned-and will
stay awhile, at least. The increaS-
ing investment of life insurance
funds in first mortgages is seen
as one indication of the reStora-
ton of the mortgage to invest
ment favor. Government authori-
ties say five times as much life
insurance money went into urban
mortgages in 1886 as in 1884.
But beyond all this Federal Of
ficials specializing in this subject
would like to make the mortgage
so sound and so secure that it
will again be entitled to an AAA-1
rating. Too much of the money
that has gone into real estate in
vestments in the United States
has been speculative. Too much
of it has been invested at usurious
rates. Too much of it has been
lost,
Uncle Sam has tackled the job
of Strengthening all this out.
