Home Building
Prospect Bright
For New Year
Outlook Contrasts Sharply
With That of Year Ago

The prospect of the home-build-
ing industry for the new year is
the brightest in nearly a decade,
Steward Mcdonald, Federal Hous-
ing Administrator, said.
The outlook now, he said, Is in
sharp contrast to that which con-
fronted the industry at the begin
ming of 1888 Then home build
ing had fallen to low ebb. The
amended National Housing Act,
with its liberalized provisions for
home financing, was in the process
Of enactment in Congress, and its
effectiveness remained to be tested.
eve all hope it would produce
the stimulus needed to revive resi-
Dental construction" said MIR. Nc
Donald, "but few of us were willing
to predict that the new program
would be the success that it has
proven in the past 70 months. 1t
was not until early Spring that its
effect began to be fell. Even then
we withheld optimistic claims un-
til we were sure that it was not
just a flash in the pan.
"Since March 1 the Federal
Housing Administration has been
transacting business at rate OF
approximately s120,000,000 month.
During November and December
only moderate declines have been
recorded in the volume of small
home mortgages selected for ap-
praisal with fees paid. This phase
of FHA's operations has proven an
exceedingly accurate barometer IN
the past, and the figures would
seem to indicate that many builder
are not going to sit idle and walt
for Spring.
Each week since November l
construction of approximately 1000
new single-family homes has been
started under FILA inspection. This
does not include new homes
financed under the FILA plan after
completion of the construction. In
addition, 80 large-scale rental pro-
jects are under construction under
the FILA program.
"Thus the 1899 BODYBUILDING
year will get off to flying start.
The year 1898, in spite Of poor
beginning, produced more housing
than any year since 1929. The new
year, barring the development OF
unforeseen obstacles, should pro-
duce an even better record"

Musicians Club
Formed in Coolio g

A meeting was held at the home
of Mrs. B. L. Steward for the
purpose of organizing a Musicians
Club. Mrs. Steward was elected
president, Mrs. George Dempster,
vice-president, and Mrs. Ben Jar
rett. secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Treat
and Mrs. Richardson of the Flor
ence organization met with the
ladies to help them form their
cub. The next meeting was held
Wednesday night at the home OF
Mrs. Carls, Mrs. Melba Morley
assisting her in the entertainging
of the club. The members of the
club will no doubt derive great
deal of pleasure from this associa-
ton as well as the educational
value.

Meteorite Comes
To Rest In Auto

This story has three just claims
to fame.
First, it's one publicity yarn
you can't accuse the press agents
of fixing; second it's the first
known example of Heaven working
for the publicity men, and third, the
magazine, popular Astronomy"
which is the authority for the
story, scooped the press agents at
their own job.
At any rate, here's the story:
Way back last September 20 all
was pretty quiet around the town
of Benld, Illinois. Suddenly there
was noise like an airplane going
into a power dive followed by a
cracking sound, like the breaking
Of boards. Mrs. Ed. Mccain heard
it and went around to the side of
her garage expecting to find the
roof or side caved in but found
nothing. Some time later in the
day, Mccain went to his 1928
Pontiac coupe parked in the garage
and found hole in the seat cush-
ion. He called a neighbor, COM
planning about the rats, and noticed
a hole in the roof of the car. Lift
ing up the cushion they found a
hole in the floor board, dent in
the muffler and meteorite weigh
ing about four pounds well en-
tangled in the cushion springs.
The meteorite was described by
astronomists and the December,
1888 issue Of Popular Astronomy"
as one In splendid condition and
valuable to science.
The soft top Of the old Pontiac,
together with the seat cushion and
springs absorbed the force of the
impact which had carried the
meteorite through the garage roof
and as result the celestial frag-
ment was to all practical purposes
intact.
And here's. where the Pontiac
publicity department gets in its
piece. They point out that 1899
all-steel body with a turret top
might have shattered the meteorite
and made it worthless to science.

Many Factors
Contribute TO
Home Comfort
Consideration S h O u d Be
Given Basic Details

There are number OF basic fac
tors of greater Importance to the
comfort, value, and INABILITY of a
home than the mechanical equip
ment which may be included in it's
plan, according to Federal Housing
Administration officials.
Prior consideration should be
given such factors as the general
location or neighborhood, the rela-
ton Of the house to its site, the
provision for natural light and ven
tilation, the comfort and conven-
fence OF the pan, the soundness of
the construction, and the attractive
ness of the design FILA officials
point out
II these basic factors are not
present in home, no amount of
equipment can make satisfactory
house, FILA officials say, pointing
out that equipment may be changed
and improved from time to time to
suit the needs of the occupant.
In selecting the mechanical equip
ment which is to be included In the
home, FILA officials say that the
same sort of judgment should be
used as would be applied in equip
ping a factory, balancing the initial
cost of the equipment against its
cost Of operation. Moreover, where
economy is the paramount cons1d-
Grafton, it is advisable to forego
first those items which furnish
merely ease OF service or control or
refinement in appearance. Items
such as good piping, good valves,
good plumbing fixtures, good cleo
trical wiring, and an adequate heat
ing plant should be considered in a
class with the structure itself.

chanical Equipment for the Home, a"

ministration, presents a review OF

tions and who have died since

Final 1898 Reports
Most Important of All

Quarterly contribution forms for
final 1888 reports, now in the hands
Of employers covered by the state
Job insurance law, are by far the
most important of the year, ac-
cording to the Arizona Unemploy-
ment Compensation commission.
While prompt payment of all
quarterly contributions is import
ant. forms and payments covering
the last three months Of 1898 must
be returned to the commission
central office before January 81, il
the proper 90 per cent Federal
credit offset is to be granted.
Payments to the state commits
sion may be credited against 80
per cent of the Federal Unemploy
ment Compensation excise tax OF
3 per cent. it was pointed out by
Bruce Parkinson, acting chief field
adviser for the commission. Employ
.rs of or more are effected by
the credit offset, under title TX OF
the Social Security Act.
The Arizona job insurance
agency must certify to the Fedora
government the exact amount con
tributed by each employer, Parkin

IS Out of 100
Graduate From
High School

S. A. Spear, State Director for
the National Emergency Council,
for Arizona. has announced that
only So out Of every 100 youths
who complete the eighth grade are
graduated from high school, ac-
cording to preliminary tabulatiOns
from a survey of youth in the labor
market being made by the WPA
Division of Social Research. Forty
six of the hundred quit school
after they receive their high schoo'
diplomas and only nineteen enter
college.
Youths who fail 10 complete
their high school education, the
preliminary findings show, drop out
of school in approximate,y equal
proportions during each of the
years from the eighth grade
through the third year of high
school. The economic level of a
youths family, it is shown, has Il
considerable bearing on the amount
of education he receives. The
higher the economic level of the
fathers occupation, the more apt
the youth is to finish high school.
Nine out of every ten of the Chi
dren of professional men finish
h'gh school, a larger proportion
than that of any other occupational
group. At the other extreme, less
than half the children of unskilled
workers finish high school.
The findings show that the pro-
portions of high school graduates
among the children in each oc-
cupationaI group rank as follows:
professional persons, 80 percent
clerical workers, rs percent; pro-
prietors and managers, 76 percent:
skilled workmen and foremen, So
percent: personal service workers,
81 percent; semi-skilled workers,
SO percent; and unskilled workers,
As percent.
Whether or not youth goes to
college also is shown to depend TO
-ome extent upon the economic
status of his family. as indicated
by his fathers occupation. Thus,
the proportions OF youth entering
college range from well over half
the professional mems children to
less than six percent of those of
unskilled workers.
The survey is being carried on
in several selected cities scattered
throughout the nation.

Junior Womans Club
Have Dual Program

The Junior Womans Club held a
meeting Thursday night at the
home of Mrs. Soule near the Ruins,
with Mrs. Earl Hicks, president,
presiding. Plans were made for the
yearly program. Mrs. David Jones
gave a very interesting talk on
Indian jewelry, using her own rare
collection along with the beautiful
treasurers b onging to Mrs.
Walter Smith to illustrate her
talk. Mrs. Jones explained how to
tell the difference between good
and bad workmanship and the
history represented by the
different pieces of Navajo iewelry.
She also explained how imitation
turquoise and silver was made to
look like the genuine article which
was very valuable information for
those interested in making such a
collection. Miss Yohn who had
charge of the health program,
engaged DR.. Campbell who lectured
on the subject of cancer, giving
the types and causes and then he'd
an open discussion answering the
questions that were asked Of him.
After the program a business
meeting was held and then to make
sure that everyone would be salts
fled delicious refreshments were
served by Mrs. Soule who was very
ably assisted by Mrs. Robert Goff.
