You are always hearing about
something new in the heating line,
something which will improve the
way you make yourself snug in the
Wintertime. But most of the new
discoveries have to do with whole
new systems, better ways to heat
whole house or one piece of new
equipment to take care OF a hard
to-heat room.
This week we have to report
something new in the heating line
which is merely ah addition to your
present warm-air heating system
1t costs under $40 to buy and less
than cents a day to operate. In

A register circulator is an inven-

where more circulation of heat is
needed. 1t is attached to any regis

Interest Rates Show
Record Uniformity
For Home Buyers
1890 of Cities Give so
Rote as Common, One Ho
40, Some Charge 80

Interest rates today for new home
ownership have by far the greatest
uniformity the country has ever
known. both as to geographical Sec
tions and financial centers and small
towns, the National Association of
Real Estate Boards stated in the
second phase of its semi-annual sur
vey of the real estate market. The
cost of money to the home buyer
is decreasing. and interest rates are
making headway to levels under
per cent
However, the boards report stated
that the financial outlook for exist
ing homes, and consequently the
market outlook for such homes,
should they have to be SOLD, depends
upon action by Congress to extend
the present F. H. A. mortgage in
surance plan, primary factor of the
whole present home financing situa-
ton, which, according to present
law, will expire July so far as it
relates to all existing homes except
the few whose construction was be-
gun before January /, 1887.
The survey was made by the asso-
citation from confidential reports
submitted by member boards in 274
cities throughout the country.
Extension Asked.
The association, supported by &C
tion taken by State real estate asso-
Citations and by local action in city
after city, is asking the committees
OF Congress to extend present mort
gage insurance provisions expiring
July l, 1899, to July l, 1941.
Asked to name the present actual
rate at which first mortgage loans
on new moderate-priced homes are
now most commonly being made in
their communities, SO per cent of the
cities named a 5 per cent rate as
common and "a per cent of the cities
named 5l2 per cent rate as COM
mon. Four cities show range going
lower than per cent, and one of
these, a small town in the Middle
West, gives 4 per cent as it's most
usual interest cost for the buyer of
new moderately priced home, the
lowest prevailing rate ever reported
in such survey.
The 6 per cent rate is still common
in the largest group of American
cities and is reported by 43 per cent
OF those queried. Some cities, in
stead of naming a single rate,
checked two or more rates as pre-
valllng, and number of cities in so
doing reported differentiation pre-
valling as between F. H. A. insured
loans and other loans.
Change that is being effected is
indicated in the fact that six months
ago in a like survey the per cent
rate was checked as the most COM
mon in So per cent of the cities, and
year ago it was the most common
In 60 per cent of the cities. Whereas
Evening star., 1939-01-21

today the cost of mortgage money to
the home buyer ranges under per
cent in one out of every two cities
of the country, this was true even
so little as two and half years ago
in only 80 per cent of our cities, the
semi-annual surveys show. And four
years ago the per cent rate was in
actual practice unknown except in
2 per cent of the cities reporting, and
these were all Eastern cities.
Hinges on F. H. A. Plan.
Cities over the country reporting
on the real estate outlook for 1899
point out that the crux of the ques-
ton, so far as used homes is con-
cerned, depends upon continuation
OF the F. H. A. plan for all sound
structures, rather than simply for
new construction. beyond the pres
ent July l deadline.
Some further detail of the survey
findings on home mortgage interest
rates:
Home buyers are getting their
loans at no more than per cent In
81 per cent of American cities to-
day. -Four years ago this was true
IN only 56 per cent of our cities.
-Four cities out of every 100 still have
a common rate higher than per
cent, but two and half years ago
one city out of every five had a
range higher than 6 per cent, and
at that time in 16 per cent of the
cities no rate so low as per cent
was ordinarily obtainable. In one
city out OF every 100 the rate TODAY
stlll ranges as high as per cent. but
four years ago this was true in nine
cities out of every 100.
Today no city over 100000 popula-

More Home Buyer
Value Urged by
Loan Bank Board
End Of Labor Disputes
And Revisions in
Industry Suggested

Elimination Of labor's jurisdic-
tional disputes and a revision of
building practices to give the home
buyer more value for his dollar
are prime essentials for a solution
OF the urgent housing problem in
this country, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board said today in its sixth
annual report, which has been filed
with Congress.
The report, covering the fiscal
year 1878, also urged a cut in the
burden of present taxes on homes
and modernization of wasteful fore
closure laws. A revision of real
estate taxes would be a desirable
incentive for the revival of private
building activity" the report de-
clared.
Among its outstanding activities
during the last year, the board
mentioned the further extension to
many more communities of the Fed
eral home building service plan
under which mortgage lending in
stitutions, architects and builders
cooperate to assure the home owner
OF sound construction value. 1t also
was emphasized that the board has
started what it hopes will become q

the growth of blighted areas ir

The great need for standard
ization Of building materials
and reduction in number and
variety Of parts going into the
modern home may be met in
a new project just launched by

Technical committees will be
named to work out standard
ization schedules for possible
adoption by each branch of the
industry. The work will be car

 But 1T tho murderer had been a casual customer of tho bar ia which Mss Burns worked and had dated N "B" girl, which Is not unusual, why had he been Nt such pains to try Co prevent her body being idon- titlodp Why had ho SlaShed and pulled tho skin from her faeeq Why had he stripped off her clothes and left her body naked M the coal yNrd2
 In tearing off her dress, a rcd rose Of cloth fell off Of lt and it was beneath her body when it was discovered yesterday,
 Police learned also that Miss Burns had had Nt least ono husband perhaps two, Tho last one was Curly" Burns Larry Brewster, Q musician, who worked in tho same bar, said hc came from San Ber- nnndino Cal,
 Police said they wanted to talk to "Curly," They found letters h her room indicating that before Curly, sh0 had been married to a man named Jake" and they want. cd to talk to him, too,
 But more preSSingly sought was Miss Burns last customer, Hel friend, Peggy Clarke, told police about him, Miss Burns had plnn- ned to Spend the night with her,

Population In
 United States Faces Decline

The danger of a declining pop- ulation for the United States Is stressed by the StaustieianS of the Metropolitan Life Insurance com pany. who declare that in 1889 the birth rate fell once more This decline brought to an end a two year period in which the rates had risen, and once more forced below the zero mark the true rate of natural Increase of the Ameri- can population-the rate of in- crease that would ultimately pre- vail If current conditions of fer- tllity and mortality should eon- tlnue.
 With the exception of 1888, when Q balance between reproduce ton and mortality was reached the true rate of natural increase has been la the rcd for seven years, And If the true rate falls below zero, 1t is insufficient to maintain ultimately even a sta- tonary population,
 The country as e whole, how ever, enjoyed exceptional health during the year, and, Sperhaps by Q very small margin, the lowest mortality in its experience, But it Is . certainty that this small margin, If any was not great enough to offset the decline in the birth rate, and aS c result the true rate of natural increase drop. ped below zero,
 The StatiStlelans base their conclusions upon the records of the Metropolitan'S industrial de- pertinent ard those Of 42 states and the District of Columbia. Provisional figures from the states ard the District of Columbia show less of l,S per cent ia the birth rate, es compared with the rate for tho first nine months of 1888,
 Year fy year, aS provisional reports for the major part of the country become available" the StatlSticianS say, i've have taken stock of our vital resources as measured by the true rate of nat- ural increase. For seven years now we have been consistently in the red with one possible eXeop- ton, the year isss, wien we just struck the balance between re- production and mortality, IL will undoubtedly be number of years yet before we feel any assurance of the ultimate trend of which the present situation forms q part"
