No-Strike Agreements
Hailed by Arhitetts

The outlook for the building in
dustry is frightened by the willing
ness of labor to agree to refrain
from strikes. according to Frederick
w. CARRIER of Cincinnati, chairman
of the Subcommittee on Relations
Of Labor and Industry to Housing
of the American Institute of Archi-
tects.
Labor is making agreements with
the U. S. H. A. and local housing
authorities guaranteeing that no
strike will occur during the life Of
the housing building construction"
Mr.. CARRIER points out. This is &C
complished by two-point program:
Cd No wage strike, for the wages
will be fixed for the duration of
the contract. CD No jurisdictional
stikes, for the agreement between
the various unions will be that if
there be such disputes strikes will
not occur.
THE advantages of such an
agreement to the building industry
are far-reaching. The contingency
for strikes will be eliminated in
contractors estimates, and a cost
reduction will result. No strikes will
speed up work, and it is axiomatical,
all things being equal, that any
construction work that moves quick
ly will make profits"
In making public Mr.. CARRIERS re-
port, Walter r. Mccormack of
Cleveland, chairman of the A. I. A.
Committee on Housing, declared
that the agreements were Of vital
importance to recovery in the build
ing industry.

End Of Unsound Jumps
In Really Values Seen

UnSound rises in city real estate
values which do not become obvious
at once should be impossible within
few years when the present gaps in
needed data are filled, according
to the Federal Housing Administra-
ton.
To reach this goal, local mortgage
lenders and real estate men can be
of considerable service in helping the
Federal Housing Administration de-
termine the common range of ex-
perience on fluctuations in residen-
tial property values, F. H. A. officials
maintain.
Observation of successive changes
in values of residential properties
and the price groups into which they
fall would comprise one valuable
guide for the future, F. H. A. officials
point out. It is here that local mort
gage lenders and real estate men
can help determine the common
range of experience being studied by
F. H. A. Forms and outline tables
to undertake these studies will he
furnished by F. H. A. without charge.
Recognizing the changes in eco
nomic structures and peoples liv-
ing habits. F. H. A. officials do not
maintain that standard "sure-fire"
method of detecting undesirable
real estate situations in a city will
ensue. But. it is pointed out, it
should be possible to differentiate
between unsound capitalizations of
higher rentals, resulting from tenn
porary shortages in houses or apart
ments, and higher capitalizations
which are justified by fundamental
changes in the community or in gen.
eral price levels.

and living on $25 week. How proud
she'd be when she returned to Oak
ham and confronted him. It was all
working out fine Del decided that
Sally, after all, was the girl whom he
wanted to become Mrs. Bradford.
The weeks stretched into month
and Del began to get lonesome for
Sally. 1t was nearing the time for
her triumphant return and the fish
cannery president was eagerly look
ing forward to that day.
It was about this time that Del
received another report from Bill.
Dear Del:
Have raised Miss Enders' pay to
$50. Don't know how III get along
when she leaves. Believe me she's
some worker, but anxious to get
home"
This was indeed good news.
Anxious to get home! That sounded
fine. Del wondered if she'd be
anxious to see him. And how she'd
regard his proposal of marriage.
Probably at first she'd act little
uppish about it, but that wouldn't
last long. He chuckled. Work was
all right, but to girl like Sally,
who was used to tearing around in
roadsters and giving afternoon teas,
it couldn't hold many charms. Nine
chances out OF ten she was staying
to show him and the folks of Oak
ham that she was no gutter. Bill,
who was a darn good scout, didn't
understand the situation.
Two days before Sally was due to
return, Del spent the better part of
a morning looking over large and
expensive diamond rings. He finally
purchased one that would have lent
charm to the third finger on any
girls left hand.
The next day he drove about the
countryside looking at home sites.
He finally selected and made de-
post on one that he was sure Sally
would like. It was q charming To-
cation, set well back from the road
with large and stately shade trees
in front, and not too far from the
center of the village.
Feeling quite satisfied with him.
self, but resolved not to reveal the
nature of his purchases until after
Sally had unfolded her proud tale
of hard work and economical living,
Del rose early on the day she was
due to arrive, breakfaSted well and
prepared to depart in his own road
ster for the station. 1t was at this
point that the telephone rang.
There was a telegram from New
York for Del, which he took over
the phone.

for success. He frowned on idlers.
Hence he frowned on Sally Enders.
It was hard to frown on Sally
Enders, for Sally was pretty and
charming and had been the apple
of Del's eye since childhood. Un-
fortunately, she was the daughter
of Oakham's wealthiest merchant.
She attended finishing school, trav-
eled abroad and returned to the old
home town to drive about in a
sport roadster. give socials, look
maddeningly attractive-and arouse
Del's ire.
No one knew just how Sally felt
toward Del But when one day she
overheard the young cannery presi-
dent making remarks about her be-
ing an ornament and unable to earn
her own living, she suddenly decided
to show Mr.. Del Bradford thing
or two.
Forthwith the young lady an
nounced with asperity that she was
going to New York to earn her own
living, just to prove that it could
be done, for q period of two months.
At first Del was amused; then he
became alarmed. He saw that Sally
was serious, and discovered at the
same time that he would rather
have her in Oakham as an orna-
ment than in New York as a work.
ing girl.
Sally was stubborn. She set out
one morning with SIS in her purse,
and Del, discovering that she had
actually gone despite his insistence
that she was foolish, silly and un-
reasonable, and realizing that he
should have proposed marriage
rather than hard work, Immediately
began to plan. He wrote friend in
New York as follows:
Dear Bill:
"Sally Enders, who is rich mans
daughter, has gone to New York to
prove to. me that she can earn a
living with her owns hands. She is
absolutely helpless. If your friend
ship means anything, look her up,
give her a job in your Office and re-
Train from letting her know that I
had anything to do about it. I'll pay
for any damages and trouble she
might cause. Sally means good
deal to me-"
Del waited anxiously for a reply.
It came three days later.
Dear Del:
"Have located Miss Enders. She is
now employed as clerk in my office
at $23 q week, and doing fine. Have
not mentioned your letter. She seems
quite happy. Will write occasionally,
reporting any new development"
Del was elated. He admired Sally
for her spirit. And now that he was
sure no harm would hefall her, he

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

If the floors in your home look as
though the German Army had
marched over them, why not take
the old varnish off and fix them
up so they look like new? You have
probably avoided just such a task
because you figured it would be a
back-breaking job to do anything
about it, but now things are diff
ferent, and you can take the old
finish off in a flash.
All you have to do now is buy a
small can of a new varnish re-
mover, dissolve the contents in a
pail of boiling water and wash it
on over the floor with mop or
brush. Then by manipulating a
wad of steel wool over some of the
harder spots you will find the floors
lying there in all their pristine beau
ty, with nothing but the bare wood
staring up at your amazed face.
One of the beauties of the re-
mover, according to the manufac-
turers, is the fact that it doesn't
also remove the skin from your
hands if you happen to dip into it.
The remover also works in du-
pick fashion by bleaching the wood
after the old varnish his gone over
board. making it easy for them to
be refinished light color If 1t strikes
your fancy.

Home Loan Bank Unit
Changes Regulations
10 Meet Statutes
Servings ond Loon Groups
Chartered by Stotes
Can Be Merged

Praising the leadership of q num-
Der Of States in the adoption of new
advanced laws for the savings and
loan business, the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board announced that
1t has changed some of its own
regulations to conform to these
State statutes.
One Of the new regulations per-
mits State chartered savings and
loan association to merge directly
with an existing Federal savings and
loan association, something not per-
mitted in the past.
AS explained by DR.. Emery J.
Woodall, associate general counsel
Of the board. this new provision
works as follows:
Supposing XYZ State association
seeks to merge with a Federal asso-
citation Under the previous laws it
would have to convert from a State
charter to national charter to be-
come XYZ Federal association. It
then would make plans to merge
with the larger existing Federal,
such as ABC Federal association.
Under the new regulations, XYZ
State chartered association may
merge directly with ABC Federal,
eliminating the second step.
The board has noted the adoption
of these advanced laws by several
of the States with much satisfac-
ton, and it is pleased to bring its
own regulations into line with them
as a measure of its policy Of con-
slant full cooperation with the
States" the statement said.
Those States now expressly per-
hitting merger with a Federal asso-
citation are Arizona, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and
Rhode Island.
