T axe Ny Word for 1t

Axtell: Where do we get the word
"hello?"-B. P.
Answer: 1t evolved from "holla,"
a cry intended to attract attention.
Surprisingly, hello" as a greeting,
was unknown prior to about 1880.
Camp Callan: This puzzles me
mischievously: When I ask ques-
ton I give why" the INV" sound.
as: Hwy don't the Japs quit?"
But in expressing surprise. / never
sound the H." as: wy. I never
knew that!" Please discuSs.-Corpl.
C. E. w.
Answer: My observation is that
many speakers do as you do. While
the dictionaries pronounce such
words as why. wheh. Where as hwy.
hwen, hwere," etS .staa@xhat
many speakers never sound Tse h
at all
Brooklyn: A radio speaker said,
Please walk very slowly" Should
it not be SLOW" Mrs E. P.
Answer: Either slow or slowly D
correct since both are adverbs.
Barstow: Recently I attended
book review. The speaker used the
word bacillus" several times, pro-
nouncing it "BACK-i-lus." Why?
R. H. M.
Answer: Why, indeed? Bacillus
is pronounced: buh-SILL-us. The
plural, bacilli is pronounced: buh-
ISILL-eye. This reminds me to
point out another very common
error, that of pronouncing strepto-
cocci as, "STREP- toe COCK eye"
The final "ci" should be pronounced
like the word sigh" thus: STREP-
toe OCK'sigh.
Houston: Walt Whitman wrote:

child's carlacue cut with a burnt
stick at night What, please, is
: "carlacue"? Mrs. J.

Glover Park Unit Offers
Bus Service Proposal

A proposal seeking better bus serv-
ice for Glover Park was presented
last night to e. Cleveland Giddings,
assistant to the president of the
Capital Transit Co., at a meeting of
the Glover Park Citizens Associa-
ton.
One part of the plan called for
elimination of all buses marked
Thirty-fifth and Reservoir road NV,
extending that, line, instead, to
Fortieth and Calvert streets NV.
Also suggested was the limitation of
service between Seventeenth street
and Connecticut avenue NV. and
| Wisconsin avenue during rush hours.
Vincent Plumpton. president of the
Burleith Citizens Association, said
his group would cooperate to obtain
better bus service. Owen S. Parmele,
Transportation Committee chair
man, reported on bus schedules.
Earlier, members indorsed the
Sumners-Capper resolution for Dis
trict suffrage. Also approved was
the Easter weekend cleanup cam
paign proposed by the Progressive
Georgetown Citizens Association.
Henry I. Draper. First School Divi-
sion supervisor, discussed the sug-
gested increase in teacher salaries.
Henry C. Ingram, association
president, presided. The meeting was
held at-the Stoddert School, Thirty
ninth and Calvert streets NV.

FHA Loan Insurance
Now Se|f-Sustaininq;
Collections Increase

Federal Housing Administration
lending operations are showing the
results of better times" and there
Is ample evidence that people are
paying their debts promptly with
their war-boom earnings.
1 In a report on insurance of re-
pairs and improvement loans by
the FILA, Commissioner Abner H
Ferguson today made these obser-
vations:
l. The insurance program on re-
pair and insurance loans Is paying
its own way.
2. Although there was no reve-
nue. from such insuring activity in
the first five years of operations,
income in the last five years has
exceeded operating expenses for the
full 10-year period by more than
$9,7o0,0o0.
3. For almost year, collections
on defaulted loans have exceeded
by substantial margin all claims
paid to insured institutions.
4. The percentage of defaults on
all outstanding Title I loans for
repairs and improvements is at an
all-time low, being 1.88 per cent
at the 1914 call report.
Financed by Premium.
The FHA insurance program is
financed by premium of three
fourths of per cent year on a
loan.
Total Title I loans reported for
FHA insurance from June. 1884,
through December, 1914, numbered
1927 ,569 and amounted to $780,
| 75o,442.
All these loans, Mr.. Ferguson
said, were made to individual bor-
rowers through private financial in
stitutions, with the FILA insuring
the individual institutions up to
20 per cent of their total loans
during the first few years and later
up to 10 per cent. In either case.
he said, this was in effect 100 per
cent insurance against loss for in
stitutions using prudent lending
practices and making any volume
OF Title l loans. The gross amount
OF claims paid up through last
June, he said, amounted to s4s,-
602 ,528, or 2.72 per cent of the total
amount of loans insured. Recov-
cries made by the FILA on de-
faulted loans amounted to 500, ,714,-
1882, or 1.24 per cent, bringing the
net amount of claims paid to ST.
088,196, or 148 per cent.
Seek to Curb Initiation.
The FILA is currently striving to
curb imitation in the real estate
market and to aid home owners in
purchasing soundly financed prop
critics, according to Mr.. Ferguson.
Recent reports show FHA had its
highest dollar volume of business
in 1938-s236, ,668, ,496 covering 51,186
properties-but that the average
commitment for a 1914 loan was
only S4,624, as compared with s4,619
in 1943, despite the pressure on
real estate prices from increased
wartime purchasing power and re-
strictions on residential building.
