 1t is not fair Ii home-c coming fighters and war workers, bent on making homes, waste their savings in houses that fall apart.

 Four weeks ago this column closed with the statement: "1n- dustry must have security of in- vestment and hope of profit in order to do it's part toward post war prosperity" Starting right here, a New York reader took time to inform me that industry was not alone in needing security of investments. He presents a most astounding set of figures about personal investments.
 The largest single investment made by most Americans, he de- elares, is in a place to live. Then

THE NOME NUGGET

Nearly five years pass. Joe Junior is four years old. There have been lot of costly repairs, especially when the piano broke through the living room floor. The front door no longer fits its frame. Heating costs are like robbery. The place is not worth $2,OO0 yet to pay on it and Joe is ready to quit. The D'Oaks family enters temporary quarters and takes a loss of S3,OO0 plus.
 THE OTHER S2.000
 The house is not paid for. Joe signed installment notes before he moved in. The real estate man discounted them to a bank. Does the bank lose the $2,000? Certain ly not; the loan was insured by the Federal Housing Administra- tion. Soon the FILA takes the mortgage and tries to sell what Joe couldn't endure. Govern ments' average loss on such deals exceeds $500 and there are plen- ty of them.
 As of December 31, 1940, the FILA had insured 634,023 mort gageS. During 1941 trouble start ed developing in houses built in 1885 and 1886. Foreclosures (and l del;nquencies with expected fore closures) numbered 5,436 which is 9.4 per cent of loans insured in 1885 and 1886. If the same ratio applied all the way through 1940 when 634,O23 loans had been insured, foreclosures reached 59, ,598.
 THE TAXPAYER PAYS
 i On the theory tha FILA would be self-susaining, Congress start ed it out in 1886 with about B million dollars, But the govern ment's loss of $500 per re-possess- ed house, figured on 59.598 houses. exceed 35la million dol lars. It it not a fantastic figure

WhenWomen Bossed theJaps

THE JAPS make lot of talk about
their honorable ancestors, their
y origins and their destiny. They
think their pint-sized, bespectacled
emperor is a god and that all Nip
ponese males are superior beings who
should keep their wives, daughters
and girl friends in their place-which
is low one.
The NipS take no back talk from
their spouses. They rule their homes
with an iron hand. Their daughters
are virtual slaves TO their fathers,
and may even be sold down the river
to some prosperous fellow citizen who
gets a yen for their companionship.
Ever since TOTO and his mob of
kissing militaristS started out to lick
the world, or the eastern half of il,
Jap women have been on the spot.
Millions of them have been caught up
in labor draft. They work long
hours for little pay-and they know
better than to squawk at their lot.
But once things were different in
