Don't bother, Juliette, I'll call

OOPHIA HARTLEY looked

fields with a slight d!Staste Wis
ible in her face. Once those
fields had sloped i'll unbroker
beauty to the horizon.
After is years of this solitude,
an enterprising "realtor" hao
broken up the acres into home
sites. Here and there small
rather cheap houses were going
up: several were finished. The
nearest of these offended her par
ticularly. To put it very simply
she hated it.
Worst of all were its occupants.
Sophia saw the two working all
day long laying out a vegetable
patch and a flower garden. They
seemed to be middle-aged Italians.
NEWCOMERS
Sophia was disguised. To have
her quiet, lovely surroundings
spoiled by uncouth creatures of
that type! She resolved not to
give them any further thought.
After awhile it became apparent
that there was another occupant
in the house up the road. A young
woman drove away every morning
in a not-toogood roadster, and re-
turned at dinner time.
She was smartly enough dressed,

create Federal associations under the
general welfare clause Of the Consti-
tuition, which states, Congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes
to provide for the general welfare ot
the United States. The court pointed
out that the United States Supreme
Court recently sustained the validity
OF certain provisions Of the Social Sc
curity Act upon the authority of Con-
gress to spend money to provide fol-
the general welfare.
Court Elaborates Poinss.
In celebrating on its first point. the
majority decision Of the court said:
I'VE are not concerned so much
with the intention of Congress as
with the language actually employed
IN creating such agencies, and the
necessity for the same Is q matter
with which the courts are not con-
cerned. As was said in Farmers and
Mechanics National Bank VS.. Dearinp
OF the degree of the necessity which
existed for creating them, Congress Is
the sole judge The intention or mo.
tive OF Congress in creating such asso-
! Citations and designating them as fiscal
agents Is a matter entirely within the
legislative province"
Supporting its second point, the
courts opinion commented:
ITO our mind the preservation OF
home owners and the promotion of q
sound system of home mortgage Is
none the less national in scope than
the provisions for the UNEMPLOYED and
the aged. Its scope, as affecting the
welfare Of the Nation as whole. Is
OF equal importance.

LOAN ASSOCIATION. .
UPHELD BY COURT
Decision Removes Doubt of
Legality of Federal
Chartered Firms.

Whatever doubt may have existed
about the constitutionality Of the Ma
tion's 1,346 Federal-chartered savings
and loan associations has been re-
moved effectively by a decision of the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals in Chicago, according to an ac-
count OF this significant ruling pub
lished today in the Federal Home Loan
Bank Review.
The decision, recently handed down,
afiirms an earlier ruling by the United
States District Court for the western
district OF Wisconsin and restrains
the attorney general of Wisconsin and
the Wisconsin State Banking Commits
sion from hindering the operations Of
the First Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Wisconsin, located in
Milwaukee.
Federal-chartered associations were
authorized by Congress in 1888 in an
effort to provide home financing IA
cihties in areas which previously
lacked them. OF Federal associations
which have been chartered, $40 were
newly organized and 706 surrendered
their State charters to obtain Federal
ones.
Ruling Based on Two Points.
In its ruling the Chicago court, ac-
cording to the Reviews analysis, based
its decision, concurred in by two of the
three judges, upon two main points:
l. That Federal associations were
Validly created under the constitu-
tlonal power of Congress to create fs-
cal agents. The court pointed out it
Is now settled matter, not subject to
dispute, that Congress has the power
to create financial corporations as
nscal agents of the Government.
2. That Congress has authority to

Is bright surfaced only because it
happens to come that way Aluminium
was not chosen because of its bright
ness but because it can be rolled so
thin. 1t Is very light. You could al
most afford to ship enough for a
house by airmail. And it has its own
protective film on it before you ever
get it. This transparent film, which
forms over the aluminium at the mill
the instant it is exposed to air, does
not impair the shine or interfere
with the bouncing back of heat waves.
But 1t does protect the aluminium
against tarnish or further oxidation.
AS to the crumpling, that is done
partly to eliminate noise. Should the
house settle or vibrate, a straight
sheet of aluminium would rattle, or it
might even pull away from a beam
unless that extra giving power" were
there. They seem to have thought of
everything, but We don't want to
sound too sure for fear the lesson we
have learned from aluminium insu-
lation will lead to an exception to this
exception to our original rule.

IF YOU are one of those early risers

The receiver can be installed in a
6-inch wall of a frame house and
still be big enough to hold six quart
bottles Of milk, enough for an over
sized family. Additional capacity may
be obtained by using castings to ex-
tend the receiver body to full length.
There are two models, one opening
from side to side, the other from top
to bottom. The top-to- bottom style
gives you shelf to stand things on,
as you unload the receiver. The
outer door of the bottom hinged type
is insulated, so the weather won't
harm your packages even If they re-

was ever a broadcaster of cheer.
