UNCLE RAYS CORNER

On the coast of the Bay of Bengal
Is one of India's holy cities. 1t is
known as Puri, or Juggernaut, and
is the home of about 10000 people.
Many of the residents have rooms
for rent. They are ready to take
care of pilgrims who come in great
numbers, sometimes from $4,000 to
100000 in a year.
The pilgrims honor one of the
Hindu gods, Vishnu. In the city Of
Puri they worship him under the
special name of Juggernaut. This
name means lord of the world"
The visitor will find a great space
covered by 100 temple buildings.
The building set aside for the Jug
gernaut has tower 1872 feet high.
The Juggernaut is a wooden
image of Vishnu in his special form.
The black face has an open, blood
red mouth and the eyes are Jewels.
The god is placed on a throne
from time to time. There is an
image of his brother on one side
Of him and of his sister on the
other side.
Priests take good care of the Jug
gernaut. They give him a bath
from time to time and even put him
to bed!
The Juggernaut's greatest days
have been those of festival. On
such day the image is taken from

way, which at best does not offer
easy passage for a cart or carriage.
Think OF what task it is to pull
the Juggernaut car over loose sand!
The car is drawn by people, not
by oxen. Scores of pilgrims seize
ropes and slowly haul the Jugger-
naut toward the country house.
Often the journey takes two or three
days.
The car may pick up speed while
going down a short slope. In such
an event pilgrims in the way may
be crushed to death.
In past times stories We're spread
about Hindus throwing themselves
under the wheels of the Juggernaut
car. These stories seem to have
been started by the accidents which
happened to pilgrims near the car.

Among the very first automo-

Hagerstown, owned by local resi-
dents, around 1906, attracted con-
siderable attention and they can
be distinctly remembered by quite
number of people today. Ira w.
Hays had a St. Louis; J. d. Main
had an electric, and R. S. Craw-
ford a Crawford. J. C. Roulette,
with members of his family, made
the first automobile trip from Ha-
gerstown to Washington and re-
turn. w. B. LittletOn and John
Wareham were early owners of
automobiles. From that time on
the owning of automobiles con-
tinued to increase.

30 years ago, made some big
claims. For instance, a publica-
ion which came under our no.
lice had such as these: Can cure
cancer; can make people thin;
drunkards cured in "a hours. One
advertiser wanted the chance to
prove that he had 10 acres Of IL
rigated land which would earn
$3.50 per month.
Another advertiser said he
could show any one how to make
a fortune. A large ad read:

Absecon Island, the present site
of Atlantic City, for 40 cents per

special price of 1856 will be given
on five adjoining lots, including
a corner lot, on terms of ST down

DESIGN for House

Plans for sea-shore house
shaped like a snail are among more
than 200 examples of the use of
shells and shell forms through 1000
years of decorative design, shown at
the Cooper Union Museum for the
Arts of Decoration in New York.
The house, designed by Emilio Terry
in Paris, is an adaptation Of the
spiral motif of a small shell. Three
floors in height, it tapers into a
small observation tower, similar to
an old New England widows walk"
The exhibit. entitled Shells and
Decoration" surveys the uses made
of shells in architecture, interior
decorating, silverware, textiles, pot
terry and jewelry during the more
important cultural periods since
early Egyptian days. The assembled
pieces, including lamps made of
shells, Grapes, wall paper and tex
tiles in shell patterns. Victorian

Boost in T. H. A. Capital
Assures Continued Loans

The addition Of 41.000, 900 900 to
the r. H. AS small-home mortgage
insurance authorization, approved
by President Roosevelt, assures an
uninterrupted flow Of private capital
into the flourishing residential con-
struction industry, Federal Housing
Administrator Stewart Mcdonald
announced today.
by raising to $4,000 5000 the
maximum principal amount Of
small-home mortgages which may
be covered by F. H. A. insurance at
any one time, President Roosevelt
has cleared the path for further
large-scale expansion in the produc-
ton of soundly-built, soundly-
financed and reasonably priced
sman homes" Mr.. Mcdonald de-
clared.
Largely because of the long-term
stimulus given to home ownership
by the F. H. A.-insured mortgage
program. construction Of single
family dwellings this year has been
proceeding in the largest volume
since 1925" the administrator con-
tinued.
TN fact, the demand for F. H. A.
insured mortgages, involving the
most favorable home-flnancing
terms in history as well as protec-
tive safeguards benefitting investor
and home buyer alike. has been so
large that almost all Of the F. H.
AS previous insurance authorize
ton of $4,000, 10000 was committed
when the President used the powers
conferred on him by the National
Housing Act to raise the maximum.
1.-The increase of 81 900 900 900 In
the F. H. AS insurance authorize
ton makes this sound home-flnanc-
ing plan available to roughly 100000
additional families. 1t is thus Of
utmost importance to builders, the
building materials industry, build
ing trades workers and the more
than 5000 private financial institu-
tons which have found a sound out
let for their investment funds in r.
H. A.-insured mortgages"

Good Transportation
Adds to Realty Values

In many cases, it is pointed out
a single transportation line may
furnish entirely adequate facilities
for the area it serves. Better serv-
ice is often afforded, however, when
two or more means Of transporta-
ton are available.
Frequency of transportation, as
well as the quality Of its manage
ment, equipment and service, are
important factors in determining
the adequacy of transportation

In planning window draperies
consider the actual size and shape
of the window, dress it to look its
best, but at the same time try to
keep the spirit of your house. Don't
do a formal window treatment with
early American furniture in house
where children romp. BY the same
token, live up to a formal drawing
room with a bit of pomp and cere-
mony and save your love for rufled
curtains for the bedrooms and the
children's rooms.

each room may be done individually,
as the blinds provide continuity to
the outside of the house from the
street, and there is no longer the
necessity of curtaining each window
