Same Philosophy

The colored section gang was eating "dinnah" under the shade of a tree, and the conversation, never lacking under such conditions, turned to the subject of married life. It happened that five of the six members of the crew were married men. Only "Slim" Simpson was a bachelor. He listened interestedly while various of the crew talked of home life, each one directly testifying as to the secondary position of the male in the matter of authority in the household; which the turmarried one failed to understand.

New Construction Loans High

Chicago, lane D.---The savings, building and loan associations had in April their first $100,00O,000 month in loan activity since the depression, lending an estimated $108,001,000, according to the United States Savings and Loan League.

According to the mortgage loan index of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board the associations did 32.5 per cent of all April home financing, as compared with 3O.2 per cent last year.

The total volume included record sums loaned for new home construction, $33,764,000, and for assistance in home buying, $37,821,000. Repair and modernization loans, the largest amount so disbursed in any month since June, 1937, totalled $6,097,000.

A larger than seasonal rise of 19.5 per cent over March lending activity for all purposes was registered, while the increase over April, 1939, was even more spectacular, 29.4 per cent.

In one state alone, California, the associations made more than $5,0@,000 of new construction loans. Similar financing in Ohio was $4,213,000 for the month, while New York, Illinois, North Carolina, and Florida each got more than $1,000,000 of new homes started by savings and loan financing in April.

Morton Bodfish, executive vice president of the League, said that today's loan activity is at about the pace of savings and loan financing during the period of.1923-30 except for the two peak years, 1927-28. Of the home-building which has taken place during the first four months, reported by the U. S. Department of Labor at $360,700,000, and counting public housing as well as private financing, savings, building and loan advances have accounted for about 30 per cent, he said.

Analysis of the April loans and the purpose for which they were made follows:
