Savings and Loon Units
Aid 1888 Projects

New home loans totaling 1888
and amounting to $6,O19,980 were
made by the "a insured savings and
loan associations in Virginia dur
ing the first three quarters of 1899,
it was announced today by Nugent
Fallon, general manager of the Fed
eral Savings & Loan Insurance
Corp These figures compare with
1854 loans amounting to $4,499, ,264
in the same period of 1938
Virginia people placed s350,023 in
new savings in these institutions in
September, making a total of ST.
070,4l0 invested in them as of Octo-
ber !. The savings of l4,479 in
vestors in these "a associations are
protected against loss up to 5000
each by the Insurance Corp, q
$4,000, 900 Federal Government in
strumentality.
Assets of these locally owned and
managed thrift and home financing
institutions totaled $25, 1902 $40 on
october l. an increase Of $5,l11 $50
since october l, 1898.

ing institutions are meeting today
and the necessity of their at
tracing money at reduced divi-
dend rates to lend at reduced in
terest rates.
Some of the die-hards have be-
moaned the prevalence of low rates
on home financing said DR.. Hus-
band, but, viewed realistically, little
is to be gained by fighting broad
market trends. The market is a
hard taskmaster, but it is usually
right Business institutions need,
therefore, to use all the facilities
which will enable them to meet new
conditions. In the home-loan mar
ket, there can be little question that
the present ceiling of interest rates
on prime home loans is from to "a
per cent. The Board of Directors of
the United States Savings and Loan
League has only recently given ex-
preston to this thought when it
states that associations should be
prepared to compete effectively at
rates of 5 per cent and 5l2 per cent
and in some areas effective competi-
ton for the most desirable loans
may soon involve a rate of AZ per
cent. 1t is clear that savings and
loan institutions must either meet
these rates or accept risks which
are somewhat out of harmony with
their position as representative and
progressive thrift institutions.

Construction Costs
Show S|iqht Increase

The trend of construction costs
as measured by prices of labor and
materials increased less than / per
cent from August to September, it
was revealed today in the Con-
structor, official publication Of the
Associated General Contractors OF
America.
The index figure for September
was 1877, cmopared to 1865 for
August. The average for 1918 equals
100. The index figure is the weight
ed average of a combination Of
prices of unskilled labor in IL key
cities throughout the country and
the prices for nine basic construc-
ton materials in the same cities.
The index for labor prices in Sep
tember was 239. compared to 237 for
August. The material price index
was 1885 for September and 1853
for August. In September, 1888, the
indices were 1882 for construction
costs. 235 for labor and 157 for
materials.
The construction cost index in
crease was the second since June,
1887, when it rose from 1856 the
previous month to 1872. The only
other increase was noted in April,
1899, when the index stood at 1884,
compared with 1873 the previous
month. 1t is lower today than any

Retuinina the Finish

If your rooms have woodwork
finished in dark oak and the finish
must be retained, a satisfactory
effect may be acquired by following
one shining example worked out by
a decorator who finished the walls
in slightly rough plaster paint of a
parchment color, spread a border
less rug of rich deep green on the
dark-finished floor and upholstered
the davenport and deep fireside
chairs with natural-colored, roughly
woven linen on which is strikingly
beautiful flower pattern in deep,
strong tones of blue, yellow, flame
and orange. A large armchair by
the window is covered in green.

been steadily downward since the
It'll average of 1894. The general
trend has been downward since 1921,

today. This lack had caused great
suffering from the first moment of
the catastrophe, shortly before mid
night Tuesday, particularly among,
patients in hospitals.
A shortage of gasoline made COM
munication difficult between Tai
cahuano and Conception, although
they are but few miles apart.
Eight hundred persons slept last
night in the Plaza Armas at Con-
cepcion, while at Alameda the army
erected tents for 700 families. An
emergency hospital was installed in
the Conception Law School Build
ing, in charge of medical brigades
from Santiago and Valparaiso.
Emergency Clinic Operates.
During Thursday only BAT bodies
were buried. AS a measure of pre-
caution, bodies were sent to ceme-
teries as soon as they could be taken
from the debris An emergency clinic
functioned in the open.
Authorities had orders to suppress
any tendency to raise the prices of
foodstuffs and decreed severe pun
ishment for thieves. Sixty men pa
trolled the streets of Conception.
Prices for coffins shot upward at
Talcahuano. whereupon decree
was issued ordering strict price con-
troll
President Aguirre Cerda spent last
night in Conception, planning to re-
turn to Santiago today after a
tour of the entire quake area. He
told the people that the Chileans
always have shown an aggressive
spirit and should not be dismayed
in the face of tragedy which brought
sorrow to our countrymen."
Public relief subscriptions started
here today and in towns which
the quake shook only slightly. Even
the poor were urged to bring an old
coat or a pair of shoes to be sent
to those who lost everything.
