FIJI. A. NOW PAYS
MOST EXPENSES
Mcdonald Says That All In.
suring Offices Will Be
Self f-Sustaining.

The Federal Housing Administra-
ton is now paying the major portion
Of its own expenses.
Eventually 1t will be entirely on a
self-sustaining basis and will operate
as the national housing act originally
contemplated, without any cost to the
Government
Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator, announced today that
during the current fiscal year, which
began on July /. all expenses of the
administrator 81 insuring Offices in
the field will be paid from income. This
income is derived chiefly from ap-
praisal fees and premium payments on
home mortgages insured under title
II Of the national housing act.
The expenses of the Federal Housing
Administration field service for the
current fiscal year will be approxi-
mately $5000,000, it is estimated The
revenue of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration now amounts to some
thing over S6,000,000 annually, and
will increase substantially as the
volume of mortgage insurance expands.
Premium paying mortgages as of July
II total s6lS,753,432, and are being
recorded in Washington at the rate of
100000 a week.
Thus after the payment of the ex-
penses OF the insuring Offices there will
be substantial surplus which will be
credited to the mutual mortgage in
surance fund now held by the Treas
ury. When originally established. this
fund was sl0000,0o0, but now exceeds
S19,000,000 and outstanding against it
less than 100000 debentures issued
for foreclosed mortgages. 1t should
be remembered, however. that as
contra-asset against these debentures
are the IA properties which are held
by the administration and 1t has been
the practice to call debentures as these
are disposed Of
The low foreclosure record of the
Federal Housing Administration is at
tested by the fact that only 80 prop
critics on which mortgages have been
issued have been foreclosed and turned
over to the administration by lending
institutions.
With this experience the adequacy
OF the mutual mortgage insurance fund
has been deerled sufficient for present
operating purposes plus the normal
rate Of increase which will accrue over
and above the operating expenses Of
the insurlng Offices.

these blades and you will notice that
they tend to dig into the air in back

forward with a wide area Of metal.
This action results in larger volume
OF air being pushed out than was

You will also notice that the blades
are made to overlap one another and
present smooth, unbroken area so
there is no chance for rapidly re-

Is Reunited with Eric Lin- den and Cecilia Parker
 Romantic Team

Millions of readers roared at "Old Hutch" when the story appeared in a national magazine. They and ad- ditional millions will laugh when they see Wallace Beery in the title role of the film version opening Sum day at the Capitol Theatre.
 The "laziest man in the world" finds $100,000 in stolen bills-and he cant find way to spend it.
 That's the predicament in which Wallace Beery finds himself in Met TO- Goldwyn- Mayors "Old Hutch"
 Eric Linden and Cecilia Parker, the lovable romantic team of An, supply the heart in- terest for the production, which was directed by J. Walter Ruben, of "Riffraff' and Trouble for Two" fame.

Daniel BO0ne'S
 Noted Exploits
 Shown, Coliseum
Conquest of Kentucky Is Theme of First Photo
 play of Series

A renowned episode of the Amer ican colonial period is unreeled in the historic adventure picture, "Daniel Boone" which comes to the screen of the Coliseum Sunday.
 George O'Brien is cast in the title role, this being the first in series of films of frontier heroes in which George A. Hirliman. will present this well-known star of out-door melodrama. In Daniel Boone the purpose is to bring the theatre goers in authentic form the condi- tions which surrounded the settlers of this country when they were pushing forward the pathway of civilization.
 This episode in the life of Boone, greatest of 'frontiersmen, revolves about the period of TITS, when the settlers in the eastern colonies were looking toward the western horizon. They wanted newer and more fertile lands, and had visions of founding a new empire in which they would be the dominant factors. Boone had but recently returned to the frontier town of Yadkin, in North Carolina, where the story opens, and his description of the fertile lands beyond the Cumberland mountains in the then unknown territory which later became Kentucky aroused the spirit of adventure in the Yadkin settlers.
 They urged Boone to lead them to this new land, and he finally agreed.

EXPOSITION IN PARIS TO OPEN
 ON NEXT MONDAY
Various Troubles, Especial ly Labor, Have Beset
 International Fair
By HENRY CASSIDY

PARIS, May 22-The Paris ex- position rising along the Seine has been praised by the Peoples Front government as a symbol of political truce-but criticized by the opposi- tion as a foyer of revolution"
 Strikes and demonstrations, ac- cidents and floods, have marked the laborious growth of the 190 pavil- ions of France and 42 visiting na- ltionS.
 Originally planned for May 1, inauguration of the show, which will run to November 25, has been de- layed until next Monday, May "A.
 Never on Time
 The government has indicated its defense will be that the show far surpassed that originally planned, and in any case, it is tradition of Paris expositions that they never are on time.
 The Seine flooded some of the grounds during the winter, and the rains and winds of the wet spring caused minor accidents.
 Laborers took part in several or ganized stoppages of work, once, on Feb. II, to hear Premier Blum ex- hort them to greater efforts, and again March Is in the general strike |of protest against the Clichy riot.
 Many foreign buildings were start ed late. Work on the American pa- vilion, on the left bank near the Eiffel tower, began only in mid April
 Red Flags Stir Rumpus
 The cabinet had it's most serious exposition disputes with it's own supporters among the working class.
 Carpenters, erecting the two mon- umental towers of wood at the Place de fAlma entrance, floated a giant tri-color, adorned with decorations of their own making, over each of the columns.
 The flags bore the three parallel arrows of the Socialist party on the field of blue, the liberty bonnet of the radical-socialists on the white and the hammer and sickle of the Communists on the red
 Police took down the emblems, because it is an offense to disfigure the national flag, and the next day a whole army of red banners ap- peared.
 The incident, petty at the start, became test of the governments power to control extremists in it's own camp.
 Bases Hope on Visitors
 A new quarrel loomed over re- lease of the workers upon comple- tion of the exposition. To prevent unemployment among the 22,00O men working on the payilions, the Building Trades union demanded a 10 billion franc public works pro- gram, financed by new loan, de- spite a government stand against either further expenses or increased borrowing.
 The government has pressed on with the work, hoping that once the visitors arrive, political passions will subside.
 It counts too. upon 100000 Amer jeans and millions of Europeans bringing to France vast supply of the foreign exchange needed to help make up the deficit in the country's trade balance.

w. C. ST. placed an applica-
ton for a job several months ago
and I want to know if I will get
on?
Ans.-It is not likely that you
will get the job before FALL. At
this season of the year this par
ticular company does not put on
any employees, but are forced to
cut down on the help. Keep in
touch with them and see them
again in the early fall.
E. F. T.-Am I adopted? Why
do my people act so funny around
with me? 1 am very unsettled in
mind.
Ans.-Of course not and
you don't have a thing to worry
about. Your parents realize that
you are no longer a CHILD
and are trying to treat you as a
young lady should be treated.
Their aim is to make you happy
and prepare you for your future
life.
F. C. WIN 1 be able to sup
port my wife and child? / read
and enjoy your column.
Ans.-Yes although things
look a little dull for you at this
particular time. Try to arrange
to get a BETTER PAYING JOB.
Hold on to the one that you have,
but just as soon as possible make
a change. The summer months
will find you better situated finan-
cially.
S. NJ am very much in love
with a young lady and I want to
know just what her attitude is
towards me?
Ans.-She believes that you are
KIDDING HER and is determined
not to take you very seriously.
Just as soon as you give her rea-
son to believe that you are sincere
she will return the affection
that you show her.

A. M. Rs my boy friend tell
ing me the truth about what goes
on when he doesn't come to see
me? I am doubtful.
Ans.-YOu should be. He may,
on several different occasions, have
been taken sick, but every time he
fails to ill his dates with you he
isn't sick. He would like for you
to believe this, but he also tells
this same little story to ANOTH-
Err GIRL. Don't allow him to fool
you.
2. o. ST have two men in
mind and can't make up my mind
which one to marry. Help me to
make up my mind?
Ans.-YOu WON'T marry either
one of them. The man that you
have never seen is not going to
marry anyone, so don't give his
correspondence any serious
thought. The man you are going
with in your city loves you but
you know very well that you are
not going to accept his proposal.
M. L.-What should I do with
what little money that I have?
Your suggestions will be appre-
ciated.
Ans.-An surplus money that
you have should be placed in a
SAVINGS ACCOUNT at the bank
until you have sufficient amount
to invest. 1t appears to me that
you will purchase a home of your
own within the next five years and
this is surely a good starting point.
N. v. MI am interested in
what you write. Tell me how long
will the romance between my boy
friend and the other girl continue :?
Ans.-FOr a long time. When he
gave you up and started going
with her your affair was ended.
Get this boy out of your mind and
make friends with some other de-
sirable young man in your city.

INQUISITIvE SAL
BY Helen M. Scott
Hello Everyone:

here at last, bringing with it
laughter, gayety and last but not
least-romance. (. The Alpha Phi
Alpha's party at the Halle O..
Brown House, Monday night,
started the spring season off with
bang. BRUCE PATTERSON
and all his lads furnished the
music, which soon put pep into
some Of the dumb clucks and the
shy wall flowers. That sleepy
eyed Romeo who stood by the
punch bowl most of the evening
came to life when that lovely SYM
phony in green waltzed by. (Didja
notice?) Most of the men looked
very handsome, indeed, in their
tuxedos, must say, except one
Minneapolis boy who looked for all
the world like an automatic tin
soldier just wound up and ready to
strut. / believe that certain
out-of-town gigolo has just about
rushed all the girls in the Twin
Cities and I don't think he's broken
many hearts at that. The B.
DOTY-A. GRAHAM fire seems to
be still burning. i. VIC GALLO
WAY and EVA LEE were still
looking dewy-eyed at each other.
AUDREY MCCULLOUGH
looked very stunning in a lovely
pink lace gown. The G. w.
WASHINGTONS are one couple
who never seem to look unroman-
tic at each other. Most married
couples, after a few months, get
that "don't bother me" attitude
toward each other, but the Wash
ingtons look as affectionate as the
first time saw them together,
which was about month or two
after they were married. :. DOR
OTHY HALL was attractively
gowned in blue lace. AGNES
ELLIS and LLOYD SHANKS
seemed to be quite that way about
each other. +. 1t was swell idea
having that grand march. 1t sorta
brings everyone out of his shell if
he is the bashful type. Why I
saw some of the most sedate Twin
Citians just truckin' and
switchin' along when the march
started. The TED WOOD
ARDS, JIMMY LEES, BURIE
CARMICHAELS, EARL KYLES,
all popular young married couples,
were all enjoying themselves to
the utmost. Did FLORENCE
WARD come to the party with
PETE THATCHER? (I'm asking
you?) =. DOROTHY GARDNER
and this DIR. from Chicago seem
to enjoy each others company. i. {.
RACHEL JAMES came to the par
ty with TURNER DENARD, and I
mean those two really had good
time whirlin' and twirlin' to and
fro. . The SLAUGHTER-SLE
MONS "duet" are still harmonizing
well together. RUTH SUTTON
and GEORGE BROOKS were to-
gether as usual. NORMAN
Light was busy all the evening
dividing his dances around, trying
to keep all parties involved,
pleased. /. MYRTLE GARDEN
is one woman who enjoys herself
to her hearts content when on the
dance floor BETTY MARSH
ALL looked sweet in pink taffeta
HILDA MOSES striking in
black trimmed in pink :. Some
of the prominent Alpha men I saw
dashing around were H. THOMAS,
B. SIMMS and A. WALKER.
That's all for that.
Just came home from the VIM.
M. SMITH testimonial banquet
held at the Phyllis Wheatley
House. I must say it was a very
interesting and enjoyable affair.
What made it so pleasant was the
sincerity of all of Mr.. Smiths
friends and the touching and appre-
ciative manner in which Mr.. Smith
responded to his various praises,
which he is worthy of and more
