islation, the movement has the en-
dorsement of the Cleveland Federation
of Labor and is soon expected to re-
ceive the endorsement Of many other
powerful groups.
Bill Corrigan, Cleveland attorney
and active in Labor circles, who has
prepared the proposed amendment is
slated to head the financial drive to
put over the amendment. The plan
as outlined does not contemplate a one
house Legislature which has been ad-
vocated in Ohio for several years. This
is thought by some to be too radical to
win state wide approval at this time.
AS tentatively drawn the proposed
amendment would repeal Sections 1,
2, 3, a, S, and 10 of Article XI and
establish representation in the lower
house of the General Assembly by 81
districts, comparable to the 81 districts
which now make up the Senate. There
would be one representative elected
for each 10000 population in each dis
trict and an additional representative
in each district in which the ratio of
10000 to the total population exceeds
10000. Each district would be entitled
to at least one representative.
"The representation quotas of the
various sectors of the state are out
of line according to population figures
and must be rearranged so that there
is fair voice for the industrial CEN
ters" said Albert Ruddy who is re-
garded in Cleveland as the father of
the proposed amendment.

Todoy's Toys
| Designed for
| Specific Ages

Too many times the toys we select
for Christmas gifts for our young
friends, are the things we want to
buy, not the things they would like
to have. This is especially true
when buying for the very tiny tots.
1t is possible to buy toys now that
are the things which a boy of six
months or a girl of three will really
enjoy. They have been designed
with the best advice of child
pSychiatrists, who understand a
childs capabilities: kindergarten
specialists who know what they
actually do, and when, and designers
who recognize that in the toys of
infancy are trained the ability of
the builder, the architect. the engi-
neer or the doctor of 20 years hence.
1t is no longer necessary to guess
what Jim or Joan might like, there
are splendid toys and trained ex-
perts to tell you all about them, so
that month by month your gift
meets the child's development.

New Type Lino|eunl
Is Lighter and
Less Expensive
Electric VentiIutor
Of Improved Style
Is Now on Market
BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

II you have been wanting to re-
place some wornout linoleum in your
kitchen or bathroom and have been
scared away by visions of great ex-
pense, you will be glad to hear that
new, lighter and less expensive
linoleum has recently been brought
out by a well-known manufacturer.
Made of essentially the same ma
terials that the heavier and more
costly floor covering is fashioned Of,
this new linoleum has the same
handsome appearance and excellent
durability. According to the makers
OF this new product. it is made of the
finest quality felt base and is coated
with an extra heavy finish Of highly
durable enamel. This enamel has
what is called "built-in luster" and
should retain its brightness in spite
OF heavy foot traffic around and
through the room in which it is in
stalled.
This new linoleum is surprisingly
thin, so that it should be an easy
task to put it in place with a result
ing saving in time and labor. 1t is
put in place the same way that
ordinary linoleum is laid, using a
special cement. We are advised that
the new material is available in a
number Of pure colors, which should

ings regardless of the type and style
OF decoration.

There is definite tendency these

Durable Window Cord.

Some of the things you buy for
your house are so small, and bought
so infrequently, that when the oc-
casion arises you are particularly
at loss as to what kind of product
to get and where to get it. Such an
item is window sash cord. 1t isn't
often that you are called on to
replace sash cord-still, knowing
that there is a certain standard
for this invisible part of a double
hung window, and getting the best
there is, can save future trouble.
We have just heard about a SUPER
window cord made bye a company
that also makes cheaper cords. It
is a solid braided cord. made in six
different sizes to suit different
weight windows. It costs only a few
cents more window than ordinary
grade, but Is said to last much
longer.
If you are installing double-hung
windows, make certain you have the
best possible grade of cord. The
labor costs of replacing a broken
cord are much greater than the
difference in first cost between best
and cheaper grades. And if you
erred once and used cheap cord you
can avoid that annoying mistake
when replacing the sash cord,

36 Pei. Of Savings Loans
Made on New Homes

For the second time this year,
in October the loans granted by
savings, building and loan associa-
tions for construction of new houses
represented the largest disburse-
ment made for any purpose. The
United States Savings and Loan
League reports $4l,6l00O0 of the
October total loan volume of STA
100000 channeled into the financ-
ing Of new homes This was 36.37
per cent of it, the largest proportion
OF their loan volume so used In any
month in the last 10 years.
The October loan volume main
tained the substantial margin over
the same month of 1899 which has
been characteristic of the entire
year, representing an increase of
22.6 per cent over last October. A
seasonal increase of 23 per cent
over September of this year was
also achieved. This was the seventh
successive month in which the saw
ings and loan disbursement exceed
ed Sl00.000,000 and the fifth in 1910
to exceed s110,OO0,000.
The rising tide of construction
lending is due not only to an in
creased demand for new housing,
according to Paul Endicott, Pomona,
Calf. president Of the league, but
also to the fact that an increasing
number of savings and loan insti-
tutions are in a position to make
construction loans today. For the
last two or three years methods of
handling construction loans and
proper safeguarding Of mortgage
funds 50 invested have been one of
the chief concerns of the operators
in the savings and loan business.
A committee of savings and loan
men devoted to construction loan
policies and procedures has been at
work since 1899.

F. H. A. Construction
Sets New Record

Construction Of approximately
ITO 900 new small homes has been

gram thus far in 1910, Federal
Housing Administrator Abner H.
Ferguson announced today.
For the first 11l2 months Of the
year preliminary reports show that
about 10000 new homes have been
started under F. H. A. inspection.
This breaks all records for new con-
struction under the F. H. A. pro-
gram. In 1889, the previous peak
year, 142 900 small homes were built
under the r. H. A. program.
