Problems
LET STATES DECIDE

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear announced Monday night
that the Senate Appropriations
Committee is considering the res
toration of funds for the improve
ment of the Roosevelt Inlet Pro-
ject at Lewes, Delaware.

gressional affairs, Senator Frear
disclosed that he has written to the
Chairman of the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee, Senator Nickel
lar, asking that the committee
authorize the sum of 122 thousand
dollars for the improvement of the
waterway.
Mr.. Frear said he has already
been advised that an Appropriation
Subcommittee has given its ap-
proval and that the matter will
next be brought before the entire
committee membership. He express
ed confidence that if the commit
tee gives its assent the Senate it.
self will sustain the action.
The House of Representatives
rejected a proposal to have the
funds included a short time ago.
Senator Frear declared that ap.
proval of the project is of major
Importance to fishing interests in
the Lewes-Rehoboth area.
On other Congressional matters

DEADLINE ON
G.I. INSURANCE
Term Insurance Policies Ex-
pire Eight Years From
Date of Issue
SAVES REORGANIZATION

An important deadline is ap-
preaching for veterans who pur-
chased National Service Life In
surance term insurance during the
last half of 1912. G.I. term insur-
ance policies purchased before jan
uary 1, 1916, expire eight years
from date of issue, so veterans who
bought term policies during the
last six months of 1912 must soon
renew their term policies or con-
vert to permanent policies before
their term insurance expires, or
lose their CT insurance coverage.
Term policies originally were is
sued for a five-year period, but
this was extended to eight years
from date of issue for policies pur-
chased before January 1, 1916. Vet
Grams are permitted to renew orig
inal term policies for another five
years at their attained age, or they
may convert to one of six perman-
ent plans of insurance without a
physical examination. But applica-
tions for renewal of term insurance
must be made prior to the expira-
tion date of the original policy, VA
emphasized. Otherwise the veteran
may purchase new insurance only
if he can pass physical examina-
tion. Many veterans, are finding
that they can no longer pass insur-
ance examinations. For example,
in recent case where his insur-
ance expiration date fell on a Sun
day, veteran delayed his renewal
application until the next working
day. Unfortunately that was too
late for acceptance of the renewal
application; the veteran was re-
quired to take a physical examina-
tion for new insurance. The exam
ination revealed a condition which
prevented the veteran from getting
insurance. This veteran, like most
others, had been given notice by
VA go days and 30 days prior to
the expiration of his insurance. AS
a standard practice, renewal forms

Modern Necromancy, Alias Mes

ed" Golden Text: Romans 8:31. IF
God be for us, who can be against
us? A citation from the Lesson
Sermon is: Psalms 140:1-3, 5, g..
Deliver me, o Lord, from the evil
man: preserve me from the violent
man; Which imagine mischiefs in
their heart; continually are they
gathered together for war. They
have sharpened their tongues like
a serpent; adders' poison is under
their lips. -. The proud have hid
a snare for me, and cords; they
have spread net by the wayside;
they have set gins for me. -.
Grant not, o Lord, the desires of
the wicked further not his wicked
device; lest they exalt themselves.
A correlative passage from the
textbook Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy is: (p. 564). From
Genesis to the Apocalypse, sin,
sickness, and death, envy, hatred,
and revenge, all evil, are typified
by a serpent, or animal sublety.
The serpent is perpetually close
upon the heel of harmony. From
the beginning to the end, the ser
pent pursues with hatred the spir-
itual idea. In Genesis, this allegor-
ical talking serpent typifes mortal
mind, more subtle than any beast
of the field" In the Apocalypse,
when nearing its doom, this evil in
creases and becomes the great red
dragon, swollen with sin, infamed
with war against spirituality, and
ripe for destruction. 1t is full of
lust and hate, loathing the bright
ness of divine glory.

He urged that business take its
case to the people, survey its poll
cies and actions with honesty, and
go before the people to convince
them it is trying to play the part
of good citizen. Using the intelli-

work with its own public. The
speaker was introduced by Clar-

By D. M. Derwin

Year after year attempts are
made to control water vapors in a
house through a medium which
would be economical as well as
convenient and practical.
/ A new method recently devel-
ioped offers many advantages over
some of the methods now in use
according to its manufacturer, il
lis capable of handling any and all
of the following problems in the
shome: Prevention of dampness
rust, mildew, mold and corrosion
1T works equally well in a large
room or small closet.
This desiccant or de-humidifier
was first discovered and developed
Sduring World War II and was
later made available for civilian
use. Previous to the advent cf
this new desiccant, the War De-
partment had been using silica gel
for de-humidifying it's moisture

quired. In some quarters, it Is
estimated that, currently, about
Is per cent of the new houses are
being offered for sale in this area
without a down payment.
Clarke Daniel, president of the
Home Builders Association, hao
this comment on the outlook un-
der the new rules:
my feeling is that the new
regulations will slow down sales
but not necessarily in the near
future, owing to the fact that
many builders have firm commit
ments permitting them to con-
tinue to make no-down-payment
sales.
Homes In Supply.
I'm my opinion, also, a con-
siderable number of builders have
roughly five or six months sup
ply of homes to sell, as usual.
'"The new regulations, which
are designed primarily to halt in
flationary tendencies. should have
an effect on construction wages
which will be beneficial to home
buyers"
In brief, this is what the new
regulations do:
l. Require at least per cent
down payment on VA-financed
homes. Closing costs, however,
can be considered as part of the
5 per cent down payment.
2. Require an additional per
cent down payment on FHA-
financed homes besides the down
payment already provided. Pre-
viously this down payment ranged
from per cent to 20 per cent
8. Require that FILA base its
determination of value for mort
gage insurance purposes on build
ing costs no higher than those
prevailing July /, this year.
4. Require that VA base it's de-
Cefmlnatlon OF value for mortgage
guaranty purposes on costs pre-
vailing July l, unless higher costs
are recognized by VA, and in such
case require that the agency
increase the required down pay
ments Gin amounts equal to any
increase in appraised value oc-
casioned by recognized increases
in construction COSTS" In practice,
VA Offices will be required to hold
to the July. construction cost
ceiling unless they get prior con-
currence of the central office" to
recognition Of any higher cost
basis.
S. Permit FILA mortgage in
surance on home loans up to
$14, 900 instead of up to $4,000,
as heretofore.
Those are the principal new reg
ulations affecting home loans.
Rules affecting FHA loans be-

proof packing. Placed in competi.
tive test in a Naval Ordnance
Laboratory, the silica gel did not
absorb more than 81 per cent OF
moisture from the air regardless
of humidity or the duration of ex.
posure, while the new desiccant
under forced conditions was able
to absorb 200 per cent of its
weight in water.
Can Be Reused.
In another competitive test, the
new desiccant in approximately
half the time drew in as much
moisture from the air as silica
gel.
Any home-owner can use this
new type desiccant economically
easily, safely and with complete
satisfaction, either constantly OF
just for specific periods.
1t is economical since the
method of packaging permits it
to be used over and over again
simply by emptying the desiccant
from its drawstring cloth bag con-
tainer and baking it out in a pan
in the oven at $50 degrees F.. for
about one hour whenever needed.
The recharging process may be re-
peated indefinitely.
The desiccant is easy to use
since all one has to do is hang a
bag up in such a position that it
is nearer to the floor than the
ceiling. While in that position,
it goes to work from all sides,
drawing the damaging moisture
from the air into itself. Regard
less of how much moisture is abb
sorbed, the dessicant will not drip.
1t is safe to use it in any room,
in any surroundings.
