Referees More Confusing.

competition then and there, as five
guardsmen are qualified for the finals
which are scheduled for Turner's
Arena next Wednesday night. Three
finalists are from the Jewish Com
munity Center, the guardsmen's closest
contender for team laurels
Last nights rumpus occurred in the
third round of the Saugstad-Kous-
tenas bout when hard right to the
chin sent KOustenas half way through
the ropes. He arose glassy-eyed. with
out count, however. Referee Morris
stepped between the fighters and
waved Saugstad to his corner. This
seemingly indicated that the bout
had been stopped apparently to save
koustenas from further punishment.
Coaches Protest.
X OUSTENAS, though, dsapproved
of Morris action and signified
he wished to continue fighting and
Morris waved them together again.
Instantly, Coach Twomey Jumped into
the ring, protesting that the bout had
been stopped, to which Morris agreed
Thereupon, Sidney Fischel, coach of
the Washington Boys Club team of
which Koustenas is a member, pro-
tested that since Morris had ordered
the men to continue, Twomey auto
matically had disqualified his fighter
by entering the ring.
The contrasting opinions. "kous-
tenas was too badly injured to pro-
ceed, but Saugstad was disqualified
because of his coach entering the
ring" present the question for the
commissioners to decide.

STEWART MCDONALD.

lapse of the real estate and mortgage
markets during the late panic.
Ten years ago almost anybody could
sell house and almost every one
could buy one. All that was needed
was 5 or 10 per cent Of the purchase
price in cash. They could get a second
and even third mortgage 70 cover
the rest, if necessary But a few
years later many of these snoastring
sales bounced back on the mortgage
lenders, and buyers lost both the home
and the money that had been paid in.
Furthermore, most of the houses then
bought were showing the newt able
results of haphazard building and
risky financing
Now, however, an F. H. A. appraisal
protects the buyers interests, We
have developed an entirely new
method Of appraising home properties.
This system does not reflect the
prejudices and ambitions OF any one
man, but depends upon the judgments
Of several different men. Each one is
an expert and especially trained in his
own particular phase of the appraising
job. None has an interest In either
undertaking the value of the property
or jacking it up beyond what is justi-
fed. These men are absolutely i'm
partial and dsinterested because they
are employed by the United States
Government, and buying = house
subject to their inspections is exactly
as though you took a ton Of coal to
the city scales to find out If 1t had
been properly weighed
Check on Careless Building.
In addition, the protection offered
the buyer or builder through the
F. H. A. inspection system is a definite
check against careless building.
Through these inspections the average
person, who is unfamiliar with good
building practices, is prevented from
investing in house which is an un-
sound proposition.
And, above all, If his purchase Is
financed through the F. H. A. the
buyer knows he has every reasonable
chance of eventually owning his home,
for the system is primarily fnanc-
ing one, requiring payment in cash,
or equivalent, of at least one-fifth
OF the appraised value. The balance,

ministration and ask them to submit
all plans and specifications, along
with your application to the nearest
p. H. A. insuring ONCE. Here the
plans and specifications will be thor
oughly checked, and furthermore In
spectors sent out to the property dur
ing the process Of construction TO see
that everything Is carried out ~
agreed.
What does all this mean 70 you as
. home buyer or builder? And Is 4
home owner? 1t means that your in
terests are safeguarded In . way never
before known In this country. It means
home ownership Of the right kind. 1t
means that instead Of renting a home
owned by some one else, you are buying
your own home with the same or less
outlay each month. And it means
you are buying a better home-one
that has been properly inspected dur
ing construction.
1t Is pretty generally agreed that
the property and construction stand
ards established by the Federal Hous-
ing Administration have had = far
reaching influence over the general
real estate market-particularly those
homes costing from three to six or
seven thousands dollars.
And the fact remains the small
houses on today's market offer far
more for = lower price than they ever
did before, because through the F.
H. A. they are better designed, better
built and better suited to the needs
OF the families who will live In them
Subdivisions Stabilized.
And as for the neighborhoods in
which they are located, our record.
show a tremendous number OF SUBJ
divisions where We have been able to
contribute to the stabilization Of land
and property values We have worked
with developers and helped them dis
cover and eliminate conditions caus-
Ing the blighting Of the neighbor-
hoods and unsound suburban develop
ments. So-if you buy home in q
nelghborhood acceptable to the Fed
eral Housing Administration you are
assured OF a better stabilized value.
What we have accomplished then
through this system Of insurance OF
home mortgages can be summed ur
from your point Of view in this way:
First. you have only one mortgage
and you know before you start all
OF its terms and conditions. None
OF them can be changed without your
knowledge and consent, and the con-
sent OF the r. H. A. Furthermore
you are assured that your house Il
soundly constructed and is in q sta
bilized neighborhood. And besides

ton, or 10 1t of an inferior quality?
And above oil. have the purchase terms
been made 20 easy because the price
has been padded beyond what IS fair
to you a. . buyer2 OF course, none
Of these conditions may exist. But
If they do. then some day are you
going to be saying to yourself. What
Z fool was to get into this! Why
did not get an F. H. A. appraisal"
The time to find out is now-not later,
when you are tied down by 4 binding
legal contract.
The average man knows little about
building. He may know how to nail
two pieces Of wood together, but that
isn't building house in these times.
Todays house must have plumbing,
heating. electric wiring, insulation,
solid foundations-literally hundreds
Of things-each a very specialized
field requiring expert workmanship
and knowledge. Furthermore, most OF
these things are hidden In the nm
1shed house so that the average man,
even II he has some knowledge Of
them and although the house may
appear to be Just what he wants, is
unable to determine its real quality.
Therefore, he should have expert ad-
vice.
Every Detail Looked Into.
Because the F. H. A. appraisal sys-
tenn goes 30 thoroughly into every de-
tall Of the entire transaction, I want
to explain to you each step in our in
vestigations and tell you what they
mean.
First Of all your application for a
mortgage loan, either to buy house
already built or to build a new one.
Is made to any financial institution
already approved by the Federal
Housing Administration for that pur-
pose. This in itself should give you
a sense of oonfidence-to know that
the transaction which will be con-
tinued through so many years Is in
the hands of an able and reliable
financing institution, for only the
thoroughly trustworthy may be ap-
proved under the national housing
act. This may be q State or national
bank, savings bank, a mortgage
company, a building and loan asso-
ciation, or life insurance company,
or its agent.
II the approved financial institution
believes you to be a desirable mort
gage customer, they will send your
application to the nearest one of our
SO insuring Offices.
There it will be given a preliminary
review. But if it is disapproved imme-
diately, you should be very careful
about the entire proposition and alb
solutely certain to correct whatever
may be criticized. This preliminary
examination instantly reveals any,
thing that is obviously wrong on the
face OF it. Either the house is over
valued, or the neighborhood is Slip
ping, or the method of payment may
be unsatisfactory. But when appli-
cations pass this preliminary test,
they are then submitted to a search
ing analysis.
Architectural Inspection.
First, an architectural inspection
covers every detail Of constitution and
determines whether or not the prem
lses measure up to At least what has
been established as the minimum
standard for sound constitution in this
type Of house. For instance, the 6rchi-
tectural examiner investigates the
mixture OF the cement used in the
foundations. II it isn't Of the proper

Government Does Not Lend.
First of all, though, let me make
it perfectly clear that, through the
Federal Housing Administration, the
Government neither lends nor ad-
vances any money. It co-operates with
private capital and becomes the Gus
todian Of mortgage insurance fund,
which 1t holds for the benefit Of the
home buyer.
Thus, by providing a safe means Of
financing better homes and assuring
better home values, the plan encour-
ages home ownership among large
group Of people who really should own
their own homes. Heretofore, these
same people could not afford to take
chance. for there was no really sound
appraisal and inspection service
available to them. Today, however,
although home properties appraised
at as much as $4,000 are eligible,
more than half the homes now being
purchased under the F. H. A. plan
are valued at two, three on six thou
sand dollars. These homes are care
fully designed and efficiently con-
structed. With F. H. A-insured mort
gage financing they are not slapped
together or jerry-built.
Furthermore, through the wide
spread use Of this plan, cities and
towns are enabled to extend their
growth under the healthy influence
of far-sighted planning, and sub
stantially laid-out subdivisions are re-
placing developments where the pur-
chase of home would otherwise be
a risky proposition.
Risks Of Past Avoided.
The single long term mortgage in
sured by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration aids home buyers to
avoid the risks of the past. It has
doomed the second-mortgage racket.
1t obviates any necessity for use OF
unregulated second mortgages. There
are no high renewal fees, unlimited
interest rates, concealed charges and
commissions. The plan protects the
buyer against these evils of the past,
which largely caused tho terrific COL

Don't Let Sentiment Rule" "
! F. n. A. Head Advises
: in Forum.

i A warning to home buyers to be
practical and not to "let sentiment
run away with you" was given by
Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator, in radio address last
night during which he outlined the
methods OF purchasing a home with
the Governments aid.
I The address was made during the
National Radio Forum. arranged by
The Washington Star, and broadcast
over coast-to-co coast network of the
National Broadcasting Co.
For the average man, Mcdonald
declared. the national housing act
makes buying home one of the
safest soundest and most satisfactory
forms OF investment ever devised.
Mortgages Insured.
He emphasized. however, that the
Government neither lends nor ad-
vances money to home-buyers, but
merely co-operates with private capital
and becomes custodian of mortgage
Insurance fund, which it holds for the
benefit Of the home buyer.
The administrator also stressed the
fact that through inspections by
Government agents the buyer or
builder is protected against careless
building and saved from investing in
Z house which is an unsound PROPOSE
ton.
McDonald's address, in full, follows:
On this, the third anniversary of
the Inauguration Of the national
housing act, 1 am glad that The
Washington Star has given me the
opportunity to tell the audience of the
National Radio Forum something
about the act-What it has accom-
plished-how it Works-whom it bene-
Ats.
Home Building Stopped.
Three years ago, when the Federal
Housing Administration was estab-
hshed, home building was virtually at
a standstill and there was practically
no mortgage money.
Now an entirely different situation
exists, for, during the three years OF
r. H. A. operations, nearly one billion
seven hundred and nifty million dollars
Of gross business has been cleared
through us-and all private capital
to be directly applied to the Nations
homes. Today the 68 F. H. A. under
writing Offices throughout the country
are appraising homes for mortgage
insurance at the rate of over two and
= half million dollars day. And
through our efforts there are now
more than 100000 families well on
the way to owning their own homes
through the F. H. A. plan. Further
more, about $500 more are being
added each week. Over one-half Of
these people have incomes of S2,500 a
year or less, and the homes they are
buying are better than they would
have been able to obtain without the
aid of the F. H. A.
Based upon this experience and our
observations thus far, my advice to
every home buyer is, first and fore
most, to be practical. Don't let senti-
ment and emotion run away with you.
Certainly every man wants to own
his own home. But home ownership
cannot be satisfactory unless 1t is
looked upon as plain business
proposition. Home ownership should
be the ideal for every family and ]
am convinced that, for the average
man, the national housing act makes
