 Total claims paid by the Federal Housing Administration up to Jan- uary Is, 1888, were $13,416, SPOTS un- der the modernization and repair program. Through recoveries and claims reinStated amounting to $6,- 566. .826.53 the net loss sustained up to January IS under Title I was reduced to 6,859 ,59422, representing ia net loss ratio of 122 percent.

HE-MEN FROM PACIFIC COAST
 IN NEW YORK
Most of Them Are Actors, or Writers, But They
 Bubble GoodHumor
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORI,, Feb. 1.-The he men" of the coast have come to town and are vending their way through the towns night life. Big, ugly, good-humored Charles Bick- ford is one, A fine actor, and he goes into a play this month. It's his first Broadway trick in years. Bickford likes his breakfast around five o'clock in the mawning. Then he goes to bed. He is compelled to do this, because everybody he does business with keeps the same hours.
 Edward G. Robinson is another. Robinson is a smooth dresser but in no sense ostentatious. These coast boys, with a few exceptions, have the trick of shaking hands down pat. They exude good humor. Their laughter is contagious. Their remarks are personal and seem di- rected only to you. It's that stuff Dale Carnegie shrieks about, and Robinson has plenty.

Say, there's getting to be mess of Irishmen around here.
 Robinson likes to haul his son in the bathroom each morning so the kid can watch him shave. Bick- ford owns an island in the Atlantic on which no money is used. i. Just a few people live there, and they share their worldly goods. <. Fully rises at o'clock every morning, walks several miles around town, and, over 8 stack of news papers, has a 9 o'clock breakfast.

MT. Deeds nee Gary Cooper also goes to town. Being tall, he wears double breasted clothes well. Usual ly he is reticent, and his remarks are short and gruff. That's his way and you take him as he is, or leave him.

On this trip he has been busy with the Five and Ten club, and talking over old times with his pal Jack Dempsey, and Ned Brown. {. Brown is the fight games ency- clopedia. When the old World was hitting morning and afternoon edi- tions he wrote a fascinating fight column. It was known as Par don My Glove"
 Bickford is also a great friend of Tully's, although Bickford is no ex-road kid. He never crossed continents on railroad cattle cars and got handouts from back doors. Once he made a movie which

NEW YORK, July l9.-The silver

ment overshadow all other consump-
ton sources combined, according to
the Alexander Hamilton Institute. In
the last four years no fewer than
37l 100000 ounces have been acquired
on the average by the United States
government. AS the dominant fac
tor IN demand the Treasury is like
wise the dominant factor in prices.
One result of activity in the market
has apparently been that of stabiliza-
ton of the price.
Since 1888 prices have shown prac-
tlcally no fluctuation. except in the
single year 1885, BY contrast when
the price record before 1888 is ex-
amined range of over 40 cents per
ounce is apparent between 1925 and
1882, and changes considerable in ex-
tent are apparent from year to year.
This comparative steadiness of price
