Two Contrary Laws

Two contrary laws stand today opposed; one a law of blood and death, which, inventing daily new means of combat, obliges the nations to be ever prepared for battle; the other a law of peace, of labor, of salvation, which strives to deliver man from the scourges which assail him. One looks o'nly for viol,ent conquest; the other for the relief of suffering humanity. The one would sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives to the ambition of a single individual; the other places a single human life above all victories. The law of which we are the instruments essays even in the midst of carnage to heal the wounds caused by the law of war.-Louis

The Boomerang

When a bit of sunshine hits ye, After passing of a cloud, When a fit of laughter gits ye

And ye'r spine is feelin'proud, Don't forget to up and fing it

At a soul that's feelin' blue, For the minit that ye sling it

It's a boomerang to you.

By Captain Jack Crawford.

He Anticipated It

After terrific struggle, a law student finally finished his examination paper, and then at the end wrote: "Dear Professor: If you sell any of my answers to the funny papers, I expect a split of 50-50 with me."

The Ideal Life

The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing-where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he was meant and made to do.

The Master

Prudence yields to circumstance, folly quarrels with it, pride defies it, and genius controls it.

You say there is no love, my love, Until it last for aye t

Oh, folly, there are interludes Better than the play,

You say lest it endure, sweet love, It is not love for aye?

Oh, blind! Eternity can be All in one little day.

More Homes Will Be Built This Year Under Government fnspection Than in 1936

San Francisco--More homes will be built here this year under government inspection than in 1936, when a fiveyear building record was established, if the pace set in the first quarter is maintained, according to Clifiord C. Anglim, district director of the Federal Housing Administration. A statistical report just completed shows more mortgages on Northern California homes accepted for insurance in the past three months than during the first six months of 1936, and more than in the entire year of 1935.

"The fact that a large percentage of these mortgages cover new construction is indicative that the home building program launched in 1935 is gaining momentum," declared Mr. Anglim. "It also attests public recognition of the fact that FHA insured mortgage financing means more than a mere long term loan which may be paid in monthly rentlike installments.

"Thrifty investors are demanding homes approved by the Federal Housing Administration, because they appreciate that it provides important safeguards for their investment. First is the matter of location, which must be in an acceptable rreighborhood where land values are stable. Practicability of design and livability of the home is assured when plans and specifications are reviewed and approved by the FHA architectural staff. Frequent inspections by government experts assure that specifications are complied with and make for substantial, lasting construction, The fact that the mortgage is paid in convenient monthly installments reduces actual home ownership to the simplicitv oI paying rent."

Mr. Anglim, who has returned from a Federal Housing conference in Washington, D. C., states that the entire energ'y and eilorts of this governmental agency now are being concentrated upon the insured mortgage system, since expiration of the modernization credit plan the first of April.

He stated that a paramount feature of the 1937 FIJA program will be to assist builders and buyers of homes in the lower price brackets with problems of financing. They are assured, he said, of the same efficient, courteous, painstaking service as the investor who secures the maximum insured loan of $16,000.

The FHA reports having accepted for insurance to April first a total of 17,ffi mortgages, amounting to $74,797,795, in the Northern California district.
