RICHMOND, VA. - Modern psy-

chairman of the Virginia state pa

Meacham described the average
man entering prison as between 10

years or less of schooling and faces
"a sentence of from three to five
years. He has had on an average

Drying Expedited.
Back in the old days when most
of the work of numbering was done
by hand, many months were re-
quired to produce finished lumber
from growing trees. One of the long
est delays was in drying or curing
of the rough boards before they
were sent to the planning mill. In
drying yards after the wind and
sun and rain had done an unpre-
dictable job of curing, the boards
were taken from the piles one by
one and inspected, all the work done

Today the most commonly accept

naturally becomes less. OF the
three we prefer and recommend the
MISUNDERSTANDING mortgage
for the man with flxed salary or
wage because his equity In his home
becomes greater every month, with
out any change in the carrying
charges he has assumed.
There are variations Of all OF the
above financing plans which may be
taken advantage Of, but for the man
with a definite goal of complete
unencumbered ownership we like the
plan that makes things easier as he
goes along.
1t is generally assomed that you
can afford to pay as much for inter-
est and amortization each month as
you pay for rent, and, Of course, that
makes common sense.
1t Is generally assumed that you
you can pay one quarter Of your
income, or weekly wage, for rent or
toward carrying your own home.
Nevertheless. these are rules of
thumb. even though they usually
work out. The safe and wise pro-
cedure in home financing is to de-
eide upon a set amount which you
can afford each month and limit
your aim to that goal. Plan home
that can be expanded If the breaks
come your way, that will be good. If
you meet with reverses you will still
be on firm ground.

The subject of finacing resolves
itself down to three basic questions.
They are, flrst-Do you have any
well-grounded reasons for thinking
you can build or buy home, other
than the simple desire to acquire
one; second-Do your present pros
poets indicate a fair chance of
carrying out your program beyond
the first stages Of planning and
building; and third-Have you

that in the event of your death,
would enable your wife, mother,
or other heirs, to carry on with the
home after you had made the in
ital investments, built 1t, and moved
into it.
There is no intention Of putting a
damper on any ones wish to build or
buy home, and If you can answer
the three questions in the affirm
alive without undue optimism, there
is nothing on earth to hold you
back There are plenty Of agencies,
such as banks, insurance companies,
mortgage and loan companies. and
even individuals, ready and egar to
lend on building home, If you
can show a solid, sound program
to. them.
Getting right down to facts on
financing, there are several methods
open to the small-home builder.
There is the straight mortgage loan
made for a set period of years, and
payable in full at the end of that
time. Frankly we have feeling
against it, because 1t is not modern.
There is the flxed-payment-amortiz-
ing mortgage, which provides for
a certain amount to be paid each
month, and which we like, because
In the beginning it pays the interest,
and a small part of the mortgage
principal, and as 1t goes along the
interest becomes less and the amount
paid of the principal becomes
greater.
There is the decreasing payment

Answer-It would help very much
to have a finished basement under
the house; otherwise you will con-
tinue to have trouble of some kind.
If you cannot manage this work at
this time you could improve condi-
tons by coating the under side Of
the floors all over with tar or liquid
asphalt. Then nail up thick insu-

the better. A central heating sys-
