Use Of aluminium
Shows Increase
Jump in the Cost Of Copper
Brings Shift to Other
Basic Materials.

Observation-Disclosures in in
creasing numbers who formerl,
used copper as a basic material ar,
turning to aluminium and other ma
terials because of the higher pric,
of copper and the smaller pound TO,
pound amount of substitutes re
quired in fabrication of their prod
ucts, an industry spokesman said
Copper currently is quoted at 21K
cents a pound, aluminium at Il
cents and other substitute materia.
are correspondingly cheaper.
Aluminium was said to be the big.
gest competitor of copper. 1t is
much lighter and has a much lower
melting point. Although it is more
susceptible to c%orrosion and more
difficult to process, in many in
stances the price differential makes
additional processing economically
feasible.
Many Alloys.
Substitution of aluminium and
other materials for copper long has
been in progress in the household
appliance industry. Castings, for
merly made of copper, are being
made of aluminium and porcelain
enameled steel by some producers.
A large variety of aluminium alloys
is available.
New techniques and applications
of rubber and plastics as insulating
materials in production of wire and
cable also has cut into potential
copper usage. With recent copper
shortages aluminium wire of stand
ard diameters and conductivity
equal to that of copper has been de-
veloped. Plastics also are replacing
copper in wire cloth used for
screens.
Create New Markets.
Copper producers assert, how
ever, that although certain markets
may dwindle as substitutes prove
other markets will grow
and ley markets will be created.
Although no official estimates have
been made public as to the vast
amount of intricate electrical equip
ment and machinery required in de-
velopment of atomic power prof.
ects, much copper is expected to be
needed in building this equipment.
The shortage of motors, genera
.ors and other electrical items Gre
ated by the war and the large
amount of copper required in the
automobile and home building in
lustries T expected to provide a
sustained and increasing demand

Little Hondescripf Dog
Proves Faithful TO End

WICKENBURG, ARIZ. - He was
just a little n~ondescript white dog
He was familiar to the folks Of
Wickenburg for several years. They
saw him often trotting along on his
hind legs behind his master.
The pair came to town weekly
from Thompson's lonely cabin in
the desert for provisions which he
carried home in a sack over his
shoulder.
Then H. c. Nichols, who knew
the aged prospector only by sight,
reported he had found Thompson in
a fainting spell along the highway
and had taken him home.
Constable B. E. Fugatt went to
the Thompson cabin to see if there
was anything he could do. He found
Thompson dead and the little white
dog on guard.
The dog wouldn't let Fugatt ap-
proach the body of his master.
Fugatt called Justice of the Peace
R. L. Westall. But, with no word
from his master to restrain him,
the dog kept both at bay.
Finally at the word from Westall,
Fugatt shot and killed the animal
so they could remove Thompson's
body.
Today the little dog with courage
lies buried at the feet of his master
in Wickenburg cemetery.
at was the least we could do"
Westall said.

Then Congress acted. In June
1888, it set up Hole to help bail
out lending institutions and save
homes facing foreclosure. The cor
poration was provided with capital
of 5000, 100000 and authorized to
issue up to 81, ,750 900 in bonds backed
by Government guarantee.
Whatever the cost, an alarmed
Congress was ready to foot the bill
And at that time it was freely pre-
dicted Uncle Sam would be out OF
pocket by from a half billion to a
billion dollars before the adventure
ended.
Saved Many Banks
In exchange for delinquent mort
cages, HOLC pumped $2,750,00o, ,o0C
into banks, savings and loan associa-
tions, and insurance, finance and
mortgage companies. With the need
for cash thus relieved, many of those
institutions were saved from col
lapse. And most of them soon were
able to ease off on foreclosures and
grant better terms to other delin-
quent debtors.
Besides cash tor lending institu-
tions, HOLC paid out total OF
$487 100000 in borrowers delinquent

Mostly Square Shooters
To Mr.. Fahey, courtly, keen-eyeo
and firm voiced at IA. HOLC oper-
ations prove at least one important
thing:
"The great mass of our people
are square shooters, and If you give
them a decent chance they viii
pay what they owe"
But back in 1888, as the depression
deepened, more and more families
found it impossible to continue tt
pay high interest rates then being
charged drom 6 to 9 per cent or
first mortgages, mostly of short
term; and as high as IA per cent
on second mortgages.
Even when interest charges were
met, many lending institutions re-
fused to renew mortgages owing tc
their critical need of cash.
AS result, foreclosures sky
rocketed. Total foreclosures for 1885
blacklist year for home buyers
was $4,000. Millions of other homes
were threatened. The Nation was
travelling swiftly along the road tc

original short term mortgages,
HOLC gave new liberal terms-15-
year mortgages at 5 per cent interest
Qater reduced to AZ, per cent? and
as high as 80 per cent of the ap-
praised value of the property. It
thus helped make standard the
present direct reduction" mortgage,
which is paid like rent.
But the job of saving homes
wasn't easy. Recovery Jagged and
distress continued. In spite Of a
charter to be lenient with its new
debtors, Hole was obliged to FORE
close on 1876, 900 homes whose owners
could not, or would not pay. And as
late as 1889. Congress extended the
repayment period Of about 255.0 900
other mortgages-then seriously in
default-up to an additional 10
years.
Only Few in Arrears
In the beginning, many home
owners seemed to have the impress
sion HOLC was a relief organiza-
ton and that loans needed no re-
payment. But in the last seven OF
eight years, accounts in arrears have
steadily decreased. At present, SO
per cent of remaining borrowers are
current in their payments or less
than three months in arrears.
BY the end of 1916, the number
of accounts had been reduced by
81 per cent, and 80 per cent of its
So 500 100000 investment had been
liquidated. More than two-f1fths
of those still owing money on their
homes have mortgage balances OF
less than $1,000. Seventy per cent
have balances of less than $4,000.
OF the $4,000 homes foreclosed--
chiefly between 1897 and 194o-au
but rs had been sold by April 80
this year. Still owed on the remain
ing $1,000 HOLC mortgages is q
total of $685., 900, 900, of which $416,-
100000 is on the original loans ano
$220, ,0O0,0 900 on the foreclosed houses
which have been sold.
| Optimistic on Losses
HOLC at present figures its book
losses" on the entire operation al
$58,319 900, but expects that by the
time all mortgage balances are paio
off this deficit will be more thar
wiped out.
Practically all book losses suffered
by HOLC came as a result of sales
of foreclosed houses. Such losses
at one point amounted to about
$337, ,724 900 on the capitalized value
of the properties. The capitalized
value, HOLC explains, includes the
loan balances, unpaid interest, taxes
and the costs of foreclosing ane
reconditioning.
Had the agency held its properties

been avoided owing to present higher

Foreclosures Are at
the Lowest Marx
in History

Home foreclosures today are at
their lowest point in history. Yet
only 13 years ago the Nation was
in the depths of its worst mortgage
loan panic, homes were being fore
closed at the rate of more than a
thousand a day, and many home
financing institutions were facing
ruin.
Largest single item OF debt in the
United States-aside from national,
State and municipal Indebtedness
was $40 9,242, ,0oo,oo0 in mortgages on
city homes. And of that sum, the
staggering amount of more than
S4. 900 000, 900 was in default.
Rescued Home Buyers
More than 100000 families then in
default on loans today owe retention
of their homes directly to the opera
tions of the Home Owners Loan
Corp, which recently reported it
expects to clean up its vast home
salvage job without penny of cost
to Uncle Sam.
This agency-which still is the
worlds largest mortgage holder
rehnanced 1,017,821 homes in tens
of thousands of communities in vir-
tually every county in the Nation
between 1888 and 1886.
At one point, it came to the rescue
of defaulting home buyers at the
rate of 5000 a day. Throughout the
country, it reflnanced one out of
every five of all owner-occupied city
homes on which there was a mort
gage. In one State, one of every two
such homes was refinanced.
To carry out its huge rescue mis-
sion, Hole invested 1892, 900, 900,
employed as many as $1,000 persons
at one time, had 460 branch offices
and spent as much as $37 500, 900 a
year for administrative expenses.
Collects by Mail
Today it still has. $4,000 debtors
in $4,000 cities and towns, yet its
AGO branch Offices have shrunk to
two-one in Chicago and the other
in New York-employes are down
to fewer than 300, virtually all Its
collections are by mail, and the
agency says it can squeeze by with
only $3,723,000 for administrative
expenses next year, all of which
would be met from it's own income.
John H. Fahey, commissioner of
the Federal Home Loan Bank Ad-
miniStration, has directed the home
salvage job almost from the be-
ginning. He was member Of the
corporations original board, became
chairman a few months after HOLC
started operations, and since Feb
ruary, 1912, has played a many
sided role as the overall admins
trative head OF the Federal Home
Loan Bank System, the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corp.
and HOLC.
A former president of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce, Mr.
Fahey started his career as a news
paper reporter, later becoming New
