. Two fighting tigers will join forces
to kill common enemy. In much
the same fashion, Loyalist and In
surgent Spain have protested the
whispered proposal that Great Brit
ain, France, Italy and Germany join
in stopping her civil war. To 10y
alist Premier Juan Negrin this is a
particularly righteous attitude, for
settlement of the war would almost
certainly give his government the
beggar's lot. Friendly with domi-
nant Italy and Germany, Rebel Cen
eralissimo Francisco Franco would
get the lions share of Spain. Never,
theless, despite their belligerent at
titudes, both sides have co-operated
in Kidding the war of foreign ma
tionals. Ever since the Munich
agreement, Italian troops have been
slowly withdrawn, while all Loyalist
foreigners are already gone. Thus

tive blessing of any outside power,

SORE ARM HALTS
DEAN FOR MONTH
Cubs High-Priced SIabber
Pulls Shoulder Muscle
by Hurried Work.

CHICAGO, May Sole Dizzy Dean.
his $185,000 right arm crippled by an
inflammatory shoulder muscle, starts
a two-week period of absolute rest to-
day, which will be followed by another
two weeks Of gradual reconditioning
before he will be able to resume his
pitching duties with the Chicago Cubs.
This was ordered by DR.. John F.
Davis, the Cubs physician, who attrib-
uted Deans three fadeouts in four
starts to slight Inflammation in the
flbers of the right deltoid muscle. This
is heavy, thick muscle which forms
the cap OF the shoulder and is used in
raising the arm.
Diz Claims He'll Win 20.
Dean declares he still will win 20
games for the Cubs, although he won't
get back in harness until June 4, II
then.
An X-ray examination was ordered
after Manager Charley Grimm sus-
pected that he wasn't throwing nat.
urally. The negatives revealed nothing
wrong with the shoulder socket which
kept him idle most of the last two
months of the 1887 season. However,
Deans desire to make good with the
Cubs caused him to bear down too
much on an arm that was not CON-
pletely ready for heavy-duty pitching.
There is nothing that cannot be
corrected by rest and proper training
thereafter" said Dr. Davis. TT is my
opinion that Dean brought on the
present condition by putting too much
strain on his arm before it was ready"

If you could peek behind the scenes

there's a very good chance you might

from snickering at the set-up, then
they certainly have an awful lot OF
self-control.
For the bank book shows a neat
entry Of $185, ,000-which, as they say

sum came to the Cards from the Cubs

MORTGAGE POLICY
DEFINED BYE.H.A A,
Condition and Location of
Property Factors in
Insurance Amount.

The amount of mortgage which will
be insured by the Federal Housing
Administration on any home, small
or large, depends on the degree of
excellence of the property in question,
F. H. A. officials explained here today.
To warrant the insurance of a full
80 per cent mortgage, they said, the
property must be a sound mortgage
risk, constructed of good materials,
Of good functional planning and in
a neighborhood OF enduring value as
a residential community. On this
point, Frederick M. Babcock, director
OF the Underwriting Division, said:
Even small home-a $2,500 or
$4,000 dwelling-can attain a suffi-
ciently high valuation to warrant the
insurance of an 80 per cent mortgage.
1t must be remembered that these
homes are not compared to higher
priced homes in the F. H. A. system
of risk rating and valuation. They
are, however, compared to homes of
similar type and size. The same
control measures are applied to high
prlced homes. Every home, regardless
of cost or size or type, must prove its
excellence to warrant the maximum
valuation.
The F. H. A. has accepted for in
surance many 80 per cent mortgages
on low priced homes. In every case
these homes represented good security
for the mortgages. 1t is self evident
that in rating the degree of risk at
tendant in each case, the F. H. A.
did not and could not compare a
$4,000 dwelling with a $4,000 dwell
lng-except to the degree that it
served the particular home owners
needs"
