the form Of monthly payment loans"
According to Mr.. Montgomery, there
was an increase In the volume Of such
loans by Acacia in this area during
the six months period Of nearly $2,-
000, 1000.
But Few Delinquencies.
The Acacia executive also pointed
out that as Of June 80 there were only
SO monthly payment loans delinquent
for more than 30 days interest. OF
this number, ~ were paid shortly
after the first Of the month.
I'VE believe that this Is truly re-
markable record" Mr.. Montgomery
stated, land one which affords an un-
usually significant index of the sta
bility Of economic conditions in this
area and the high character of the
homecoming group here. I know of
no factor which Is more encouraging
than this and it rightly gives rise to
the greatest confidence with respect

OF Columbia Office since the first Of
the year. The comparable figures for
1887 were 805 applications for mort
gage insurance amounting to $4,833,-
400.
Mr.. Dearing pointed out that F. H.
A. insured mortgage loans are con-
stituting an increasingly large pro-
portion of the volume of all home loans
in the Washington area. Residential
construction as whole this year is
behind the 1887 level, while the F. H.
AS business shows a 100 per cent
increase. Total business transacted
by the District insuring Office during
the first seven months Of 1888 exceeded
the total for the entire calendar year
1887 by almost 100000.
Average Mortgage $4,700.
"Of special significance" Mr.. Dear
ing said, lis the fact that 485 of the
656 new houses completed or under
construction under F. H. A. inspection.
or "a per cent of the total, are eligible
for financing with 80 per cent mort
cages amounting to IS 400 or less. The
average mortgage in this group Is
$4,700.
THE new requirement necessitating
F.. H. A. approval prior to construction
of mortgages up to 80 per cent OF F.
H. A. appraisals has had marked
influence in raising the volume during
recent months" Mr.. Dearing said.
This type of mortgage has become
increasingly popular and many build
ers are seeing to it these days that
the homes they have for sale qualify
for insurance under the insured mort
gage system"

ACACIA STRESSES
HOME OWNERSHIP
Insurance President Cites
Investment in Monthly
Payment Loans.

The constructive role of the Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance Co. in pro-
noting home ownership in the WASH
ington metropolitan area Is revealed
in figures just made public by William
Montgomery. Acacia president, who
this year marks his 45th anniversary
as directing head Of the company.
Mr.. Montgomery reports that at the
end Of the first six months Of this
year Acacia had a total Of approxi-
mately $20,0O0.0 900 in monthly pay
ment loans invested in the National
Capital and its environs. These loans,
totaling $3.50 in number, are for the
most part on medium price residential
properties. although some apartment
house and commercial loans have been
made under the monthly payment
plans.
Fosters Home Ownership.
However" Mr.. Montgomery says,
"the overwhelming bulk Of the $20,-
000,0 which Acacia has invested in
monthly payment loans in this area Is
on one-family residence property
Acacia believes in individual home
ownership. We believe that high
level of such ownership is valuable for
the community and for the Nation as
we'll as for the individual. Acacia has
backed up, and will continue to back
up, that belief with tangible action In

Wax Must Be Removed.

When woodwork that has been
stained and waxed is to be repainted,
traces Of wax must first be removed.
To do this, 60 over the wood very
thoroughly with sponge soaked in
turpentine. Follow this with a solu-
ton of one rounded tablespoonful OF
washing soda and two quarts OF warm
water. When the surface is dry rub
smooth with No. 0 sandpaper and rub

method should be followed even
though there Is coat Of shellac under
the wax.

was Frederick Jagel, who twice before
had performed q similar service. Jagel
was listening to the opera broadcast

Martinelli's voice stop. He rushed out

he donned q costume and the show

The opera house physician found
the 52-year-old stars heart and pulse

1t was the second time Martinelli
had collapsed at the Met since he
took over the star tenor roles of the
late Enrico Caruso, who once burst a
blood vessel in similar collapse
Jagel had filled Martinelli's place
on the first occasion, and he also flew

pearance there.

WITH ROOSEVELT.
Political Affairs Touched
Upon Lightly During
Luncheon.
BY the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt and Paur v. Nc
Mutt. Philippine High Commissioner
and former Governor Of Indiana,
talked politics briefly yesterday over
= lunch in the Presidents study.
Mr.. McNutt, who has been doomed
as a 1910 Democratic presidential
prospect by Indiana Democratic lead
ers, said that while the principal
business Of the meeting was Philip
pine affairs. the topic of politics was
lightly touched on.
He indicated, however, that only
internal Indiana politics were men,
toned.
II think he (Mr. Roosevelt) is very
happy about the state of affairs in
Indiana, and am, too."
Chief national interest in Indiana
politics has centered on the deter
mination Of the party leaders there
not to support Senator Van Nuys
for reelection. Senator Van Nuys
was one Of those who opposed Presi-
dent Roosevelt's court bill last year.
The High Commissioner said it was
hoped that forthcoming report of
the Philippine American Joint Prepar-
atory Commission would be completed
very soon. He said it would receive
the prompt attention of ofIicials both
here and in the islands.
Regarding Mr.. Roosevelt's views on
the Philippine question. Commits
sioner McNutt said he has "the most
broad knowledge and sympathetic in
terest Of any man who has ever oc-
cupied the White House"
Mr.. McNutt said he would see Mr..
Roosevelt again tomorrow to con-
tinue the discussion. and that some-
time during the week, possibly tomor-
row also, he would see Treasury off,
cials on what should be done about
the collection of American income
taxes from American citizens in the
islands. Collections In many cases
are far behind.
