The recently opened Pentagon
Building, the worlds largest ONCE

identified by. color, The first floor
is yellow, the second green, the third
is deep red, the fourth grey and
the fifth a very decided blue. Aside
from the pleasure of painted sec

walls these colors serve a practical
purpose.
Doors to the ramps leading to the
various floors are painted the color
Of the floors they reach. Thus a
person alighting from a cab in the
underground tunnel and wishing to
go directly to the third floor takes
the ramp entrance with the red
door. Floor numbers are used also,
but the "Pentagonites" like to be
known by their color.

Big Increase Expected
In Mortgage Burning
Ceremonies This Year
Investors Likely to
Have IS Pet. Of Looms
Paid, MuIIenix Says

This year is likely to see more
old-time "mortRage-burning" cere-
monies than ever before.
Based on the views of MORTGAGE
experts, the opinion seems to be that
investors in mortgages will have
around Is per cent of their loans
paid off in full in 1943, according to
Charles A. Mullenix, president,
Mortgage Bankers Association of
America. Opinions recently ex-
pressed by men of long experience
in mortgage banking run from mot
less than 10 per cent" to "at least
Is per cent" as to the amount of
mortgage payof1s.
Higher incomes of large groups Of
citizens who are earning more in
war Industries than they ever did
before is the principal reason, it is
agreed. This year would then prob
ably be the biggest in our history
for paying of mortgages in full.
The subject, which was discussed
at the associations New York con-
ference last month. will be up for
another review at its second war
and postwar clinic" February 26
and ~ in Chicago.
These prepayments-as paying on
mortgages in full before maturity is
caned-will be directly In line with
the Presidents suggestion that dur
ing the war period citizens should
use their surplus income to pay of
debts. Mr.. Mullenix said. Mortgage
bankers heartily approve of the idea
because 1t constitutes an important
contribution toward avoiding infla-
lion, he added.
1t must be admitted, however" he |
said, that heavy prepayments mean |
considerable sacrifice on the part of |
mortgage lenders because their
:hoice investments are thus uout- |
lated A;ong before maturity-with
little possibility Of replacing them
Tor the duration"
"A mortgage loan is among the
most costly banking operations to
handle from the lenders standpoint
and requires constant attention. su-
pervision and servicing while out
standing. Obviously, when many of
Them are repaid much quicker than
anticipated. the large initial ex-
Dense involved often means 4 loss
70 the lender in the end" Mr.. Null
lenix said.
Contrary to what many might
thlnk, heavy prepayments cause no
great JOY to mortgage lenders except
That they will greatly aid in the
drive to hold down imitation. Mort
gage bankers indorse every word of
the Presidents advice in this re-
gard"
