TUB HOMJ5 LOAN BILL President Hoover smilingly signed the big home loan bank bill yesterday, which will result in the creation of a tuition wide system of home loan banks. Some people wonder why we need any such organization right now, when so few people are doing any building, and so many are having difficulty in meeting' the payment oil' the njortgag'es of the homes they have' already built. Considering1 the latter phase first, we shall find, upon investigation of the bill's provisions, that there will be set up a group of eight to twelve discount banks for home morfr gages; t ; . Many building and loan associations, savings banks, in surance companies and other institutions making loans for home bffildlhg have found themselves so hampered by the ' present credit situation that they have been forced to fore close mortgages where unemployment has prevented the home owners from jnakiiig the necessary payments. ' These new home loan banks will remedy this' unfortunate condition by loaning money to the building and loan associa tions, savings bunks, insurance companies, and other lendi ing groups, thus making it unnecessary for them to1 fore' clase on mortgages that are sound. The home owner who cannot meet the payments on his mortgage-will in this way escape the loss of his entire life savings. Where home owners cannot obtain relief through local insitutions, they may Sd "cure loans directly from one of the home loan banks, ' That phase of the home loan bill' I dP great importance Ho thd nation as 11 whole as well as to individuals,, since it will prevent further stagnation in- our financial situation; but there is another phase which promises equally beneficial effects. There has been so little building construction during the past three years that there is now a definite shortage, in city and1 country alike, which as business and industry attain economic recovery. And there are numbers of people who would like to take advantage of present low prices and build new homes, were it not lor the fact that their into ready cash at this time. The home loan banks will avaiianie the capital necessary lor building new homes. And it is this phase of the bill which is expected to stimulate h(ui'.c building, ease unemployment, and create new markets .for. lumber and other building materials. TIIK SCHOOL'S JOB M'hen Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing complained to a convention of teachers recently that tho schools are ignoring moral training, he voiced a thought which has occurred to a good many Americans. "The splendid and costly educational program which has been the pride of our government through the decades," said Warden Lawes, "has done nothing io mold the character of the people. Its insistence on scholastics has left no room for character (mining." This, perhaiw, is a rather common complaint; and, when you stop to think about it, it seems wholly justified. Yet it arises, in part at least, from a confusion as to the function of the school,' a confusion which is and always has been widespread in the United Stales. The school's job is to prepare its pupils for life, to fit them for their places in the modern world, to acuauint them with life about them and to train them so that they may make the most of their talents and opportunities. This job can hardly be done properly if the pupil's char acter development is ignored. Yet the school, from the very nature of things, can go only part of the way in that field. In a broad and general way it can instill certain fundamental principles into its pupils; but the real job of moral training, of character building, is the job of the parents. It always has been and it always will be. If there is failure anywhere, it seems more probable that it is a failure on the part of the home rather than on the part of the school. v. For the parent's, responsibilty does not end when he has given his children n comfortable place to sleep plenty of food and clothing and a chance at a good education. Any state supported dormitory could do as much. Whatever moral training the child gets, the bulk of it must lie imbilied at home. If we are sending out into the world a younger gen eration deficient in chntacter and there is lot of room for argument .011 that charge it is not fair to lay the blame on the schools, HOMi; LOAN HANK ACT TO I I' HI SINLsS (Contimtrd from Pago One) Mills, Detroit banker, who has been mentioned frequently for ono of the post.

Figures released from week to week of the visible supply of wheat do not correspond with the final carryover figures for the crop year. The visible supply includes all wheat In Canada except that on the farms, in the flour mills, and in transit west. It also Includes Canadian wheat which is on Its way through the United States. On the other hand, the bureau's an nual carryover statement takes into account the whoat on the farms, In the Canadian flour mills, and In transit west, but does not include wheat In the United States. . , The visible stock In store on July 15 was 137,013.151 bushels. The bureau of statistics estimates j tlint today tho visible Is 136.000.000 bu shels, approximately, whereas: last year on the same- date tho total was 111,332.815. This would indicate i nnnmxImntAltr 2ft 000 OfWl tiiishpls moro wheat this year than last. Canada's carryover has been con tinually creeping up during the pnst few years and Is much above normal. The average for the past 10 years probably would not be over 70,000,000 bushels. Srill'LUS AT SASKATCHEWAN REOINA.

FLO ZIEGFELD, OF ' FOLLIES; DIES OF"': LUNG CONGESTION (Continued from Page One), York. When he entered tha hospital, hia physicians had reported his con dition as "serious but not critical." The death- of Ziegfeld ended his plan to bring his follies to Los An gelas during the Olympic games as the arrangements were In the process of completion when he was stricken with the illness that was to prove i fatal. It also had been reported that Ziegfeld was to produce a picture In Hollywood, and Miss Burke only re cently said she hoped it would be possible for her husband to make his permanent home here. No arrangements have as yet been made for the disposition, of the body, but friends Intimated that funeral services probably will be held In Los Angeles as many of the former asso ciates of the producer now reside In Southern California. Ziegfeld was bom In Chicago on March 21, 1808. He made his debut at the age of 13 years, and In hto career was reputed to have amassed a fortune. His first venture Into the show business was with Buffalo Bill's shows. His parents objected, how- over, to this venture and he left the show to become general manager ad director of .the Chicago Musical col lege, of which his father was con ductor. During the world's fair In Chicago In 1892 he gained his first, experience as an lmpressario. His first Important step In the producing world coma when he Introduced Anna Held to Am erica a few years later. In 1907, he became Identified with his follies, and so great was his care In selecting we oeautiiui girts lor tnese showa that this feature soon became e watchword among theatregoers. Produced Many Hits Among the stage production that Ziegfeld had produced during the paat few years were Rio Rita.' ' Whoopie," "Smiles," ''Sally," "Louie the Four teenth." "Kid Boots," "Hot-Cha," and others. Ziegfeld. who gained his first ex perience as a show man at thj age of thirteen, when he ran away from home and Joined Buffalo Bill's wild west show, achieved his greatest reputa tion as a producer of glrls-and-musie shows. He won the title.

He claimed he had presented mjdlty "artistically and deplored the "daring and coarse ness" of exploiters on Broadway, who. he said, were "pandering to the vilest tastes of playgoers to force a box of fice stampede." when this announcement of hki at titude came in 1026, several producers had copied his annual follies idea. and had staged chows that proved as successful as Zlegfcld's own produc tions.
