Low Mortgage RATE
Tends 10 Discourage
Saving, Fahey Warns

John H. Fahey, commissioner OF
the Federal Home Loan Bank Adj
ministration, today warned that
some of the current proposals for
lowering the cost of home owner
ship" involve 1.-The danger of reduc-
ing mortgage interest rates to level
that may tend to discourage savings
by the American people"
He said that interest and divi-
dends paid to small investors and
savers ARE directly dependent" on
adequate earnings" by mortgage
lending institutions.
Summarizing his recent statement
before the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee, he said that,
in considering aids to privately
financed housing, I'VE should weigh
carefully the possibility of forcing
mortgage interest rates down to a
level which may ultimately raise
new and difficult problems"
Most of the money which is in
vested in mortgages comes from the
small savings of millions of our
workers, placed regularly in saw
ings and loan and other home
finance institutions.
For long years up to 1890, they
received interest or dividends on
their savings ranging from 81 per
cent to Az per cent and S per cent.
Today 1t has been more than cut in
half. Unless lending institutions are
able to increase present rates some
what, when We go into more normal
times, low returns will discourage
savings on the part of many people. :"

Many householders regard the
ashpit as merely a receptacle fol
ashes. However, it should be re.
garded as temporary" one-day
receptacle for holding ashes.
The ashpit plays an important
part in the proper combustion OF
fuels and also the protection OF
CRATES. The furnace manufacturer
has designed your ashpit with spe-
ciflc capacity to conform to the
size Of your furnace. The purpose
of the aShpit is constantly to supply
fresh, cooling air to the hot CRATES
above it and thence through the
f1rebed for combustion of the fuels.
In other words, the ashpit is q
vital compartment to your furnace
and serves a spurpose similar to
that OF the radiator of your car.
II ashes are allowed to pile up In
the ashpit, the air is displaced and
the heat is increased therein. In
tense heat is then reflected from
the ashes to the underside of the
CRATES. If this condition continues.
the CRATES will soon warp or burn
out. 1t is necessary that CRATES be
constantly cooled, for they are sub
iected to terrific heat, and if this
heat becomes too great the CRATES
actually melt
If you make a practice Of shovel
ing out ashes only when the ash
pit is full. it is recommended that you
discontinue this if you value your
CRATES. 1t requires just a minute
or so to shovel out few ashes
each day. BY doing SO, your fur
mace will perform more efficiently
and your CRATES will last indefinitely.
If you will notice on your ashpit
door, the manufacturers have mold

The gain, according to the bureau,
was not only unusual for this time

Touching upon the school age

clOtn ana garments nave JuSt as much trouble with the manpower problem as any industry in the country, authorities say. Price ceilings have had defin- ie effect on the supply of the so- called 'Iow-end" lines of clothing or the low-priced lines where profits are small anyway. The tendency of manufacturers has been to add a frill here, a color there, and make a different "clas- sier" garment which could be sold at a higher price.
 For example, women's house. dresses are hard to find. That's because the addition of "thing- amajig" made it a street dress which would command higher price.
 And witness mems shorts. Plain ungarnished shorts used to sell for as low as 35 cents. Today, you may have to pay SIPS for the nearest approach-and today the darned things are likely to be made of wild-colored prints.
 Better Late Than Never
 Now the OPA and the WIPE are getting together to fix this. Pri- vately officials admit they're late getting started but they think they have the answers to the prob lem.
 Here's what they're thinking of doing: First, they're going to all locate definite amount of un- finished cotton cloth to civilian consumption. As the situation has been, civilians in effect got what was left over after military, indus trial and Lend-Lease requirements were met. The new plan would put civilian allocations ahead of export claims and on much the same basis as military and indus trial demands.
 Next, the present practice of freezing" looms on the produc- tion of certainly urgently needed types of cloth would be extended. OPA would raise ceiling prices to make up losses.
 Special production programs for the scarcest items are suggested, with OPA fixing dollars-and-cents ceilings on each item as the pro- gram gets under way. Authority for this-and for subsidies if they are necessary - was provided months ago by Economic Stabil- izer Director Fred M. Vinson. War Will Take Mere and More These steps are necessary it's figured, because war reuiremnts are expected to be heavier rather than lighter toward the end of the year. Even with the end of the European war, the demands for

 2s Per Cent Shortage Now
 There are several reasons why low-priced cotton clothing is scarce, in fact, that the govern ment estimates there'l be a 25 per cent shortage for all civilian cotton goods this year and perhaps 50 per cent shortage in the more inexpensive items unless some thing is done soon.
 A shortage of raw cotton itself is not one of these reasons. There is plenty of raw cotton, the gov- ernment says.
 But the millions of yards of many kinds of cotton goods-uni- forms are just one item-used by the armed forces takes a big bite out of the available total.
 Next, manufacturers of cotton
