than the same loan at 8 per cent.
Lower interest rates are obtainable
only for the choicer loans, such as
new or thoroughly modern property
and where the ratio of the loan to
value is not too high.
There is still another type of loan
running for Is years, on which no
payment is made toward the prin-
cipal for five years, when principal
payments begin. This may be a
desirable loan where a buyer lacks
cash to equal the difference between
the selling price and the amount of
first mortgage that can be borrowed.
In such a case the buyer would
give back a second trust. Since he
makes no payment on the principal
of the first mortgage during the
first five years he is enabled to pay
off the second mortgage during this
period.
F. H. A. loans--In general these
loans are for 80 per cent on the
higher priced properties and 80 per
cent on properties with selling
price of not over $4,000. F. H. A.
loans are made by private individ-
uals and institutions. However, the
principal and interest is guaran-
teed by the Government. In conse-
quence more money can usually be
borrowed under the F. H. A. plan
than otherwise obtainable. Before
the advent of this Government
agency few home loans were for
greater than so per cent to 10 per
cent Of the appraised value.
F. H. A. loans carry AZ per cent
interest. There is an additional
charge Of one-half of l per cent to
take care of the insurance fund for
the loans which go bad.
Because the borrower is dealing
with the Government there is a Ger
tain amount of red tape and trouble
to the securing of loan. Forms
have to be filled out, questionnaires
answered.

low when borrowing money at the
time you buy a house or are re-
financing one you already own. Gen
orally speaking, do not think of it
as a short-term proposition. En-
deavor so to arrange your finances
that in time you will pay off the
entire Indebtedness. 1t is better in
most instances, although not always,
that the loan be of a monthly pay
ment type. The monthly payments
should not be so large that you will
have difficulty meeting them. Seek,
naturally. the lowest interest rate
obtainable. But remember the low
est rates go only to the best risks,
that is where the property is mod
ern and the loan not excessive.

@. Hot water in my bathtub fire.
quently runs cloudy and rusty. The
supply tank is in the kitchen and
connected to the furnace in the
basement below. Have all new cop
per tubing, installed within the last
two years, and the copper tank is
six years old. What should I do?
A. Heating is likely to make water
rusty, especially as the temperature
goes up. Water should be heated in
some way that permits the tempera-
ture to be controlled. Do not let 1t
get hotter than 140 degrees. Once a
week drain the dirty water from the
bottom of your supply tank. Very
possibly the pipes between the tank
and the heater are partially clogged
with sediment. They should occa-
Sionally be flushed out.
Storing a Rug.
Q. Would it be injurious to a
broadloom rug to leave it tightly
rolled and wrapped for four or five
months?
A. No. but it would be we'll to roll
up plenty of moth crystals with it.
Finish for Knotty Pine.
@. You have recommended pene-
trating wax as finish for knotty
pine. Do you consider it the best
finish?
A. I should prefer it to a finish
that lies on the surface, such as
shellac or varnish; but there are
alternatives. One is wiping literally
with a half-and-half mixture of
linseed oil and turpentine, allowing
the wood to absorb all that it will.
Then wipe off the surface and re-
peat in two days, continuing until
the wood will absorb no more. The
mixture can be tinted with color
in-oil If desired.
Cleaning Knotty Pine.
@. Should paneling be sanded be-
fore putting on a finish? How can
the boards be cleaned? Some have
blue crayon marks put on by the
lumber company. and others are
dirty from handling.
A. Sanding is necessary to get a
smooth surface. The crayon marks
can be taken off with sandpaper.
Soil marks will disappear when the
finish is applied.
Odor from Radiators.
@. Our apartment is steam heat
ed We have recently noticed an
acrid, choking smell, the cause of
which we cannot locate. Have you
any idea what it might be?
A. The cause may be the con-
slant reheating of dust and other
waste matter that has collected on
the under side of the radiators, plus
spider webs, dead insects, etc. In
time the crust will undergo a change
that results in the giving off of an
unpleasant odor. The remedy, of
course, is to clean the lower parts
of the radiators thoroughly. I have
known of cases in which the crust
had become so hardened that it had
to be Clipped off with a cold chisel.

borrower to cut down the amount of
