BUILDING CLEAGUES
PAY $1O1,9)D,0DO
Semi-AnnuaI Dividends Are
Sent to 100000
Depositors.

A total of $101, ,500,0 was paid by
savings, building and loan associa-
tions by the end Of June in semi-an-
nual dividends to their 5000, 900
savers and investors, according to an
estimate by the United States Build
ing and Loan League, Morton Bodflsh,
league executive vice president, has
reported.
Indicating that around 40 per cent
OF the volume of earnings are on
mortgage loans granted during the
last year and one-half, Mr.. Bodfish
further stated that there had been
considerable uptrend in the loan ac-
tivity during this period.
Though dividends being paid by
most of the savings, building and loan
associations are at rates which are an
increase over depression lows, they
are still below the high returns which
characterized the last prosperity era.
Lower charges for mortgage money
which accompany lower interest
rates on all other kinds of money are
at the expense of savers and investors
in all types of institutions, including
savings and loan associations, it was
pointed out. In these cooperative
institutions for thrift and home
financing, where all profits go to the
investors, there is a direct relation
between interest rates and the return
received by the shareholders.
Between 80 and 95 per cent of the
assets of all savings, building and loan
associations are represented in the
dividend-paying group this midyear,
which is indicative of general recovery
in their operating statements, accord
ing to Mr.. Bodflsh.
There are several thousand asso-
Citations which have paid dividends at
each midyear, regardless of conomic
conditions, and also included in the
group are several hundred associa-
tions claiming record of so years or
more during which time dividends
have been paid every semi-annual
period, the leagues executive stated.
The net increase in private share
holders accounts for the first quar-
ter OF 1888 showed Al per cent i'm

Fabric Prevents New Cracks.

If cracks persist in appearing in
plastered walls, it is often advisable
to cover the walls with a wall fabric
of stout construction, such as can
vas, and then paint it. Such long
wearing material may be redecorated
as often as you choose. Besides COW
ering the old cracks the fabric-by re-
inforcing the plaster-helps prevent
new cracks from forming.

Heuriths May Land
Barry or Russell
As P|ayer-Pi|ot

Whether he has landed either Pete
Barry or John (Honey) Russell, both
stars with other American Basket
Ball League teams, as player
coach was to be learned from Chris
Heurich, jr., today as the sponsor of
the Brewers returned from a flying
trip to New York.
Russell, still an outstanding player
with the New York Jewels, could be
secured by either trade or pur-
chase, while Barry, a free agent
after many seasons in the league,
could be signed at his own price.
The latter's last job was managing
and playing with Kate Smiths
Celtics.
Meanwhile the Brewers were hard
at work for their return game Fri
day night with the Philadelphia
Sphas, hailed by many as the sue
cessors OF the original New York
Celtics. For when the Sphas come
here Friday local fans will see the
team which has won three league
championships in the last five sea-
sons and has participated in all but
one OF the loops play-of games in
its nine years as a member.
The Sphas. who derive their name
from long afflliation with the South
Philadelphia Hebrew Association
licked the Brewers, 56-4l, in their

clean, muscular wrestler, uninitiated
in the ways of gouging, kicking. ETC..
although lacking in personality, he
is we'll liked here because of the

Sammy, incidentally, is fresh from

Gevinson Will Fight
Monday in Another
Comeback Try
Siqned to Box GuIiuno
In Co-Feuture at
Turner'S Arena

Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn, toy
ing once again with the idea that
local fighters are drawing cards. is
bringing Lou Gevinson out of tenn
porary oblivion next Monday night
for another comeback attempt at
Turner's Arena.
This time the local southpaw will
be an experienced actor in his role,
it being his second or third come
back trial after not having been
far in the first place. He goes up
against Pete Galiano, a dusky-
skinned, curley-h haired Baltimore
lightweight. for eight rounds.
Goldie thinks that Washington
fans still will remember Lou as the
snappy little kid fresh from the
amateurs who two years ago gave
promise of going places. He did
have chilling sock and a swift left
that promised something.
When seemingly headed upward
he lost to joey Archibald, then to
Johnny Pena. He came back later
to kayo Pena, but later lost to Petey
Sarron. An attempted comeback
last September was spiked by Nor
ment Quarles, and he was cast aside.
But it seems that Washington re-
members the Lou that might have
been, and he is with us once more in
a feature event. Ahearn is making
Mondays show a double feature
and plans another eight-rounder, to
be announced soon.
Incidentally, one reason Gevinson
may want to fight again aside from
a natural desire to be remembered
as winner, is that he can use the
money to feather a nest. His friends
say he plans to be married on jan
uary l to Edith Geurvitz.
