u. s. Home Loan Bank
Lists Housing Problems

Assurance that standards of home
building will improve rather than
deteriorate as residential construc-
ton increases in volume is one of
the principal needs of the housing
market and mountaineering business,
the Federal Home Loan Bank board
says in its seventh annual report.
Among other outstanding prob
lens listed by the board were:
l. Prevention of sudden or unwar
ranted increases in the costs of
building materials and labor.
g Rehabilitation of neighbOrhoods
facing deterioration from encroach-
ment of slums, need for repairs to
individual homes, and other factors.
3. Disposal of about $4,000, 900, 600
in real estate ''overhang" or repos-
sessed, unsold properties held by
financial institutions and other mort
gage lenders.
4. General modernization of the
market mechanics of construction
and market lending - especially
needed is reformation Of antiquated
state and municipal laws dealing
with real estate, coming, foreclosures,
title registrations, etc.
Large construction activity al
most inevitably creates tendencies
to reduce building standards, and
there are already indications that
jerry building, poor methods of con-
struction, and utilization of cheap
materials are increasing in volume"
the report said in part.
Building for the mass market is
a desirable goal, but if it is achieved
at the expense of good material and
sound construction the gain in terms
of housing standards is very ques-
tionable. Such tendencies not only
threaten the value of home owner
ship, but endanger the safety of
funds invested in mortgages. Home
financing institutions and SuperviS-
ing agencies, therefore, have vital
interest in well-organized control
over building methods. More than
ever, institutions have a stake in the
structural seundness of properties
which constitute the basic security
for their loans, because the ratio of
loan to property value generally is
higher, and the term of mortgage
loans longer than at any time in the
past.
in this lies the particular signif-
icance of the federal home building
service plan sponsored by the board
and operated by local elements of
the building industry. The plan is
designed particularly to serve those
prospective home owners in the
average income groups who in the
past have not had the benefit of
architectural advice and have been
unprotected against the deadly eff
fects of substandard building"

Passing Customs

Customs regulations are strict at
all frontiers but they need not be
impeachment to travel if one has OBJ
tanned information beforehand about
the regulations of each country to
be visited Such information may
be obtained from the conSulateS
when passport visas are obtained,
or from travel agencies. Frankness
on the part of the traveller will gen.
orally be met by courtesy and con-
sideratiOn on the part of the GUS
toms officer There is always the
chance that you may meet surly
and suspicious fellow, but the
chances are less if everything is
wide open for his inspection and you
have declared all dutiable goods and
met all requirements as to the dec
laration of currency and valuables.
Remember that if you are taking
your luggage with you, you must
be present at the examination Of it
at a pier on the arrival of ship
or at frontier.

Gold Output in United
States Increases in 1899

WASHINGTON.-The bureau of
mines announces that the United
States and its possessions mined a
total of $685. fine ounces of re-
coverage gold valued at Sl95. 769. 1875
during 1899.
The figures as compiled by the
Denver office of the bureau show
an increase of 8 per cent over the
5,l70,743 ounces valued at $3.50. &c.
OO5 produced in 1893.
California was the principal con-
tributor with % per cent of the 1899
totals while all states and territories
showed gains over the previous
year. The Philippine islands mined
IL per cent; Alaska, IL per cent;
South Dakota, IL per cent: Colo
RADIO, per cent; Nevada and Ari-
IONA, 6 per cent; and Utah and
Montana, per cent.
While Utah and Montana mined
only 5 per cent of the totals, thew
had the largest percentage increase
because of an accelerated output of
copper and zinc-lead ores from
which considerable gold is recov-
cred. The bureaus report indicat-
ed, however, that dry and siliceous
ores and placer gravels continued
to supply the bulk of domestic gold.

above them as though loathe 20 dis
turb their absorption, and started at
the feel of rain on their faces.
Oh" cried Carey, jumping UP
and looking wildly about, every
body's gone"
John was removing his jacket.
"Here-put this around you and
wen dash for the house"
Carey stood suddenly breathlessly
still under his hands as they fastened
the jacket around her.
There were conflicting emotions in
the lovely face she raised to his.
She looked very young and fright
hed, and yet, somehow, glowing.
Her eyes were large and dark, and
the rain shone on her lashes and in
her hair, and her mouth was red,
and warm, and near.
John Dcrek simply could not help
what happened next. He gath
cred Carey close in his strong, hun
CRY, young arms and kissed that
warm, sweet mouth.
Pm terribly sorry" he said husk-
lily, releasing her. But I-you-I
we'd better run for the house.
and he grabbed her hand and pulled
her after him across the rainswept
lawn
"But-but, John, III was only
pretending" gasped Carey trying to
hold back. Not to fool you, John,
please understandable toto please
myself. I'm just-just a Second
Wednesdayer, too. I'm Carey Cor
liss-not Hunter-and I'm sorry. l
couldn't bear toto have you think
You see, l don't live here at all!
John!" But he was pushing open
the big wooden door and drawing
her inside. In the dimness of the
hall her white frightened face
peered up at him.
Don't you understand" cried
Carey miserably. I'm not what
you think I am"
Il know" said John Derek, softly,
tenderly. You're thousand times
more wonderful than / could ever
imagine"
But I'm not Carey Hunter! I'm
not a Hunter at ALL"
THAT could be arranged" said
John Derek Hunter, cupping his face
between gentle hands and smiling
half impishly, wholly adoringly into
her troubled eyes.

Ozarks to Get
Model Village
Experts Complete Plans to
Move Community to
New Location.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO.-Plans
for the model town of Greenville, a
town to be rebuilt under the eyes
of artists and experts starting with
only population and a site, are
finished.
Soon the citizens of the town,
whose present size will be covered
by waters of the St Francis river
backed up behind Wappapello dam,
will vote to bring the new site into
their city limits.
After that, under a cooperative
plan worked out by citizens who
must move their homes. the red and
green Christmas-like drawing on
the wall of the state planning board
will come to life.
BY l94l, the dam will be finished
and the waters will be creeping
through the streets of what once
was Greenville while its population
OF 600 erects its new home a mile
away on high ground.
Artistic Aspects Stressed.
The planning for the town reveals
the artists as well as the engi-
neer'S hand. Greenville's streets
will be made to fit the contours of
the hill country in which it will be
situated. The trees and fiat place
will be saved to provide shade and
park space. The site is about one
third of a mile square
Lying along a north-south high
way, the town will be on the banks
of the lake created by the dam if
the waters ever reach flood stage.
That is considered unlikely.
Next to the highway will be the
filling station area, and immediate
ly back of that, well away from the
road, will be the commercial dis
trict.
The industrial section will be
slightly south of the business area.
Hospital to Be Addition.
A broad parkway will lead from
the business section past the one
church and the school to the Wayne
county courthouse, about a block
away. A hospital, something Green
vile now lacks, was provided for.
Around the church, school. hospital
and courthouse will remain, except
for necessary Improvements and
streets, the natural Ozark scenery
for small park
The main residential section is d.
vided into three main streets which
curve through the small ravines.
There will be no crowding.
About 40 businesses will be con-
centrated in the one-third of a
square block designated as the COM
mercial area and a -four mill and
other small plants will operate in
the industrial area.
The one church probably will be
acceptable. Greenville now has
three churches, but a minister is
available for only one each Sunday,
so the townsfolk congregate at what
ever church has pastor.
The careful plans took care of 1873
residents, three hotels and three
lodging houses, the present Green
ville's residential buildings.

Bridge of Marble

A new bridge, the Ponte del Flo
rentini, is being constructed over
the ancient Tiber in Rome, Italy.
1t is being built entirely of traver-
tine marble, brought from the quar-
Res at Carrara, Italy. from which
Caesar built Rome of marble more
than 1000 years ago. The bridge
will cross the Tiber from the Corso
Vittorio Emanuele, one of the main
thorCughfareS of Rome, to a tunnel
now being constructed beneath the
JanlCulum hill.

British Viscount Serves
AS a Batman for Padre

LONDON.-When certain padre
of the Royal Engineers rings for
his batman the bell is answered by
a peer of the realm, descendant of
one of the oldest families in Wales.
He is Viscount St. Davids, %.

than one When the padre wished
that he had mobile cinema for
the troops in isolated spots the bat
