BUILDING UNO LOAN ASSOCIATION HELPS CITY HOME OWNER Organization Intended for Railroad Men Now Includes All Vocations, Organized in August. 3887, the Rail road Men's Building and Savings Association has helped more people own homes in Indianapolis than any other i similar organization. This company, organized by of-! liccrs and employes of the railroad.! provides a safe depository for their savings, has grown until it now in- j eludes people from every vocation. On Dec. 31, 1887. the assets of the ! company were $6,017.90 and on Dec. ! 31, 1922. the assets w r ere $28,314,261.36. ; In 1922, 1,500 new homes were built ! and 1,725 homes were purchased un- j der this system of financing. “Too many people,” said W. T. ' Pannon. president, “are under the opinion that all they have to do to build a home Is to just decide. “Asa matter of fact, we lend money only on first mortgages. We lend on the valuation of our own appraiser; not that of construction, nor that of purchase, for in many cases they are above actual turnover valuation of the property. Our loans must not exceed 60 to 65 per cent of the appraised value of the ground and improvements. “The customer must have approximately 35 per cent of the valuation in order to obtain the loan. Straight interest is charged and not less than $1 per month on each SIOO of the principal must be paid. If a borrower has a loan of $2,500. he must make a monthly payment of at least $25.”

BLOCKS STAND OP UNDER ALL TESTS Gibraltar Cement Company Has Special Process, According to law, certain specifications must be met in the construction of cement blocks. Blocks must " 5 subjected to certain curing proEsces and one-third of the block must be given to air space. In a visit to tne Gibraltar Cement Block Company, Morris St. and Eagle Creek, it was found that little of the actual work in block construction was done by man power. The sand Is carried down into the mixer from a hopper which empties twenty-seven cubic feet every eight minutes. As this sand goes into the mixer, cement is automatically added and carried into the moulding machine. Cement surrounds the cores of the mould and is tamped down with great pressure. A lever releases the blocks, and they are loaded on cars and taken to the curing room. Two of these machines, each with a capacity of 1.200 blocks daily, are being operated by this company. A temperature of 125 degrees is maintained In the drying room, secured by running a stream of water over a steam filled pipe under the floor. Every few inches holes are bored in the pipe, thus emitting vapor which fills the curing room. Twenty-four hours in this room equal fourteen days In the open. Experienced cement men in charge of the construction explained the superiority of the arrangement of the air space in the Gibraltar block. In many blocks this air space is confined to large openings while the Gibraltar block has three air chambers, thereby proriding greater resistance to heavy pressure. John G. Praed, president of the company, is planning to install additional Equipment to cate for increased business.

FUEL BILLS CUE By OIL BURNER Heat Giving Is Controlled by Automatic Device, In a test made on the Williams 01l-O-Matic burner, carried by the W. D. Long Company. 144 East Ohio St., the burner proved more economical than coal In one case where the fuel bill had been $125 before installation of the burner, it was cut to SBS. In a large heating plant the cost of upkeep with coal was $695. This was reduced to $609 through installation of the 011-0 Malic. “Economy of the Oil-O-Matic was the only thing to l>o proved," said Long, “as it already had cleanliness, even temperature and minimized care in operation in its favor." Many hullders are installing the heating device in homes, apartment houses, bake ovens, greenhouses and other places. The burner uses any kind of oil from crude oil to kerosene with equally good results, it Is explained and causes no smoke or soot. ‘The heat can lie automatically controlled, so that a person can have reduced heat during th,- night and still set the clock so the heat will be increased early enough in the morning to comfortably heat the house,” Long asserted. Employment under the age of 14 has practically ceased in London.

HUMBLEST HOME MAY BE BEAUTIFUL BT BSE OF PAINE Manager of Hatfield Company Gives Suggestions for Improvements, Freshness a home takes on with application of new paint is like physical beauty that spring awakens. According to W. E. Stelnbarger, manager of the Hatfield Paint Company, 104 S. Meridian St., a person should not apply paint to stop decay, but he should look to the beautygiving qualities. He should give some thought to working out an interesting color scheme and should see I that this is appropriate for the house : in mind. Three things must be considered in painting: Weather conditions should be favorable, the surface should be properly prepared, and the point must be properly applied. As in all lines, scientific research t has been responsible for development In manufacturing paints. There is a paint for every possible use and each one is especially prepared. In painting the exterior of a building for the first time, the prime coat should receive special attention. This coat should be the same paint as that used for the that it should ; be of thinner consistency than the | following coats. “In painting a house that is low the i trim can be applied in such a way as to seem to heighten the house. On the other hand the trim can be so applied as to emphasize the breadth of a house of narrow frontage. Color should be chosen with an eye to the surroundings jis well as to the individual house. “Not only ore frame houses capable of a rejuvenation by use of paint, but the trim on stone, stucco and brick should be carefully renewed in order to protect the surface.” DIVISION OF POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT PLANNED Assistant Postmaster General Tells of Growth of Parcel Post. Postnfflce officials today discussed plans for sepaj-atlng the parcel post i division from the remainder of the service, as advocated by Paul Henderson, second assistant postmaster j general, in a talk before the local I branch of the National Association of Railway Mail Clerks, Wednesday night. The new plan. Henderson said, will greatly facilitate handling of parcel post mail. “The parcel post system was organized with no available facilities," he said. "Last year we handled more ! than 2,000.000.000 parcels. The figure will he more than doubled within a i few vears.” ' Japanese believe that to live long me should sleep with the head point- : ing north.
