F.H.1A. Peak October
Construction Recorded

New home construction activity
under the F. H. A. mortgage insur-
ance program was maintained at
high levels during October. Federal
Housing Administrator Stewart Nc
Donald announced today.
Applications for mortgage insur-
ance on new homes to be built under
F. H. A. inspection expanded slightly
in dollar volume over the September
totals and reached the largest level
for October on record, representing
q gain of rs per cent over the cor
responding month of last year, Mr..
Mcdonald reported.
The new-home mortgages selected
for appraisal last month amounted
to SOL 800, 966, compared with $780,.
e06.190 in September and $72,724,-
181 in October 1899. In number, the
new-home mortgages selected last
month totaled 19,949, compared with
20,035 in September and 15,303 in
October, 1889. The increase over
last year amounted to 80 per cent.
With the active residential build
ing season in many sections Of the
country now drawing to close, the
volume of small-home construction
started under F. H. A. inspection in
October also expanded to record
autumn levels, the administrator
pointed out.

means that they are clean enough

is a great help in the family with

The cost OF this is not high, espe-

1t is an interesting point that
most of the standard kitchen equip
ment which we find both beautiful
and efficient serves just as well in
the bath dressing room. The small
sinks, the work and preparation
tables, the banks of drawers and
cabinets are ideally suited to the
bath. They will hold beauty equip
ment in steel drawers that may be
kept Immediately clean. Their sur
face may be fragile in coloring but
will stand years of hard use and

This is the last point that is need

modern houses complete. We are
used to the idea that the bedroom
is more sitting room and less bou-
DOR to increase its use, and we have
nipped-in our bathrooms so that the
smallest possible space holds the last

have curtailed comfort and con-
venience which may be supplied in
this compact utility room which
makes dressing at once more COM

September Home Building
Gains 39 Pct. in Year

Residential construction through
out the Nation in September was
80 per cent better than in September,
1899, and represented 5 per cent
increase over August this year,
economists of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board reported today.
The construction index for Sep
TENDER was $40 as contrasted with
61.8 for August and 391 for Septem-
Der, 1899. In each instance the year
1926 was taken for the base of 100.
Construction increases were fur
ther emphasized by a separate report
on new family dwelling units provid-
ed by all types of builders in all cities
of 10000 population or over. In
September, 80, 204 units were built or
projected, at a cost of $109 1857 ,000'
This considerably exceeded August,
when 28,409 units were reported,
costing 500, l35, 500. In September a
year ago there were 21,740 units
costing SIS, 1897, 100.

Bathrooms have been improved
down to the last small detail Of
efficiency both in quality of surface
and simplicity Of design. and now
that the up-to-date house has at
least two, rather than the old-fash-
Toned one bath to four bedrooms, 1t
behooves us to do something about
comfort as well as efficiency. Bath
ing and dressing are closely allied
activities and now that we can save
space in bathrooms it is q good plan
to utilize the extra room as bath
dressing room. This may be accom-
plished in several ways.
One method is to set up a fairly
large space with tub, shower and
toilet facilities inclosed on one side
of the room and lavatory, dressing
table and clothes closets opposite
out Of the range of steam and
moisture. This is an ideal arrange
ment when this Is a personal bath
and may be most attractively dec
Grated for either the feminine or
the masculine head of the house.
The lavatory may be of table height
set under the window, and with
dressing table close by it offers
good light and convenience for
manicures, skin and hair care with
out the interruption of moving from
bedroom to bath.
Space for Toilet Articles.
An ideal arrangement for the
master bedroom is dressing room
for Mr.. and Mrs. in the passage
between bedroom and bath. With
the lavatory placed in the dressing
room with a good mirror and built
in cupboards for shaving equipment
there will be much time and temper
saved for those who must wait
for the one who shaves. The op-
posite side of the passageway may
have tall closets for everyday wear
a tier of sliding drawers for small
clothes and any number of cubby
holes for shoes, etc, so that time
may be saved on the daily routine
One of the arrangements thai

NO MORE BUS-MISSING

Italy's position is described as "pre-belliger-
ent." That is to say, we take it, that Italy is
honing for a fight. It's like the person who
goes around with a chip on the shoulder, wait
ing for someone to knock it off as a signal for
hostilities.
Well, the upshot of this usually is that the
chip is knocked off and a fight starts. If we
care to delve into the Italian attitude re may
reasonably concluded that MUssoL1N1, who is
Italy, is becoming jittery as the war goes on
without him and chooses this method to warn
both sides that he does not intend to remain
on the fence much longer.
It may also mean that MUssoL1N1 and HITLER
have found common ground and that the
Italian dictator is so thoroughly convinced
the German dictator has the upper hand that
he wants a share in his potential glories. It al
so suggests that the principal theater of war
is about to shift to the Balkan area, and
MUssoL1N1 sees a possible opportunity in the
probable shift to gain detectives he has not
threats in the past.
Interest, however, is not so closely focused
on MUssoLIN1's pre-belligerency, as in what
the Allies can do to stop HITLER in southeast
ern Europe, after their failure to stop him in
Scandinavia. The present Allied effort to bring
about a coalition among the Balkan states for
mutual protection against Nazi invasion, and
Allied promises of material and military help
if HITLER should venture into their territory,
would carry more weight abroad, as we'll as
in the Balkan countries, if the Norwegian
campaign had been more aggressively and
more successfully conducted. The Allies, and
especially Great Britain, which has assumed
leadership in the war on the Allied side, will
have a heavy task, after the Norwegian flop.
to convince the Balkans or any other nations
under threat of HITLER invasion that they can
give decisive help.
Should the scene shift to southeastern Eu-
rope, Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN will have opportunity
to prove his right to Allied leadership, and,
after the grilling he underwent in the House
of Commons, it is fair to suppose that no stone
will be left unturned to prove that he is cap
able Of directing Allied forces to a victory.
This, Of course, is what the neutral world
wants him to do. In fact, it is necessary that
he do it, for the salvation of democratic civil.
ization. There can be no talk of anybody miss,
ing a bus in the Balkans, if the war turns in
that direction.

WORK FOR GRADUATES

The word Of Dean W. H. HAIL., of Duke uni.
~versity's engineering school, that graduates
from that department need not worry about
jobs, is good news not only to the graduates
themselves but to all adults who tremble year.
ly, as commencement nears, for the future of
the boys and girls who leave school with only
indefinite plans for the future.
Dean HALL announced at Durham yesterday
that three-fourths Of this years crop of en-.
gineers at Duke will be employed in June by
such large corporations as Bethlehem Steel
Wright Aeronautic company and petroleum
firms throughout the country. This fits in with
a survey of the Northwestern National Life
Insurance company which found that of 154
colleges and universities reporting, 104 find
employment calls for June graduates definitely
more numerous than a year ago.
With notable improvement in the nations
industries, and consequent rises in demand for
skilled employees, there appears to be much
less reason for lamentation over the lot OF
graduates this year than in a decade past.
The situation is still far from perfect, but
Americas economic structure is sounder by
the placing of large numbers of graduates in
gainful employment.

aside for that purpose, when it comes to fix
ing the county delegation totals for the state
convention.
The number of delegates is determined by
the number Of votes cast for governor in the
last preceding general election. If New Han.
overs vote is small, it cannot hope to have a
large delegation in the convention. It will have
a small delegation, and a weak voice in the
proceedings of that convention.
So far as this year is concerned, the dele
cation is already fixed. But it is to be re-
membered that our representation, when time
for another convention rolls around, will be
determined by the vote cast next November
And after Saturday, there can be no more reg.
istrations for the November election.
Another reason for registering, one which
these columns have pointed out repeatedly,
is that no election can represent the wishes
of a majority of voters unless a majority
votes. And democratic government cannot func-
ton as it's principles require under minority
rule.

Editorial Comments
From Other Anq|es
HATCH BILL ROW
Durham Herald

If you believe, as proponents Of the social.
ed Hatch "clean politics. law and pending
amendments apparently do, that the tone of cleo
lions and moral level of politics is determined
by the rules rather than by the folk who man.
age elections and political affairs, you have reas-
ons aplenty for defending the law covering fed
eral funds.
The pending bill, which is intended to regulate
the political activities of federalstate employees
as the original Hatch law regulates those of all.
the-way federal employees, is a logical compile.
ment to the present law. If the way to have
decency in politics is to regulate, by federal law,
the political activities Of federal employees, it is
silly not to go On and apply the same regula-
ton to federal-state and state employees. For
the political unit in this country, in spite of re.
cent trends toward Capitalization, is still the
state organization built Of city and county Or
CARNATIONS. And, of course, state employees and
employees who operate in the state and get part
of their pay from the federal government are
the pillars, cogs, and directors Of state political
organizations. The federal boys help, Of course,
but as yet state organizations are more the
handiwork of state than of national politicians.
So if you accept the premise that the only
way to lift the level Of politics and guard against
pernicious political activity on the part of public
employees is to pass a law, you cannot help but
root for a bill to extend the law to state en-
ployes receiving federal funds. You are commit.
TED, loo, TO a law covering state employees, out
that is not within the power Of the congress. It
will take state action to do that and We haven't
noticed any state legislature rushing to do the
job.
But suppose you happen to believe that the
level and tone Of political activity and elections
depends more on the type of men who hold and
pull the political strings than on laws, federal
or state. Or suppose you feel, as Chairman Sum-
ners says he does, that the philosophy of the
new Hatch bill is that the people of the several
states are so prone to crookedness in politics
that the only way to prevent crookedness is to
ban it by federal law.
We are not much worried over Mr.. Summers
point, but we do hold that whether or not you
have fairly respectable elections and reasonable
decency in political affairs, depends, in the main.
on the kind of folk you designate to manage the
political machinery. Laws and rules, federal and
state, are all right, provided they are halfway
workable. But law and rules mean nothing to
entrenched political groups bent on running
things their way, by hook or crook. And people
who think they do have either been asleep or
are exceedingly dumb.
Our conclusion, then, is that while political
degeneracy may passage Of political
practice laws Of the Hatch variety, their passage
will not cure the disease. The people can do
that when and if they set their minds to it,
not sooner and not by passing a law.
