HOUSING PROJECTS
SEEN 'BREAK' FOR
U. S. HOMEOWNER
Approximately 5,000 Will
Be On Payroll Of FHA
When Operations Reach
Full Swing Is Estimate.
(By HERBERT PLtMMER)
WASHINGTON President Roose
velt's announcement that he wily
recommend a big Increase in nous-;
lng projects to the next congress may ;
give home owners one of the big-,
ge3t "breaks" in the "new deal.
Within the comparatively short
time ot three one one-naif years
Uncle Sam has set up machinery to
aid home owners rivaling any of the
other vast and intricate governmen
tal mechanisms. And apparently the
end is not yet in sight.
Literally billions of dollars of gov
ernment and industrial money have
been made available.
Uncle Sam took the first step in
this direction In the tetter part of
the Hoover administration when
congress passed the first federal
home loan ' act the father of the
numerous similar acts now on the
"'statute books.
From then on alphabetical agen
cies created to help the home owner
Increased by leaps and bounds. ,
New Alphabetical Set-Up
RFC came along to do its share by
expanding its powers .to include is
suance of bonds to finance federal
housing agencies. Then FH13B
federal home loan bank board
made its appearance with 125 ,000,
000 in capital and authority to oper
ate a dozen banks and make loans
to their affiliates.
KOLC was next, operating on a
temporary basis under FHLB, with
(3,200,000,000 capital. In the clos
ing days of the last congress FHA
was created.
Now there has just been floated
the newest agency FSLIC federal
savings and loan Insurance corpora
tion) to protect savings and loans
accounts in eligible building and
loan associations, federal savings
and loan associations, cooperative
banks and homesteads.
The godfather of FSLIC Is FHLBB.
but the corporation was created in
the act which established FHA.
FSLIC is a mere (100,000,000 con
cern. The number of persons operating
. these various agencies is tremendous.
HOLC alone has some 20,000 per
sons on its payroll. These include
both the staff in Washington and
the field forces, among whom there
are some 8.000 appraisers and 7,800
attorneys, whose compensation de
pends on their fees.
It is estimated that when FHA
really gets to functioning at high
speed approximately 5,000 ( persons
will be on the payroll.
"New deal' officials have no apolo
gies to make on the size and scope
of their home-aid organization.

11 TRIBE FREE
OF HEART, CANCER,
KIDNEYDiSEASES
Primitive Crees Of Northern
Canada Singularly Free
Of Diseases Which Take
Heavy Toll Of Civilized.
By F. B. Colion
Associated Press Science Writer)
WASHINGTON CAP) A people al
most free of three scourges of civili
sation, cancer, heart disease and kid
ney ailments, has been found in the
far north. They are the primitive
Cree Indians who live around James
Bay in northern Canada.
Rarity of these diseases, two ot
which, cancer and heart disease, are
the leading causes of death in the
United States, was noted among the
Crees by the Rev. Dr. John M. Cooper,
anthropologist of Catholic University
of America, who has just returned
from the north after a summer spent
there.
He has no explanation for their
freedom from these diseases except
possibly their way of living. The
Crees still live much as did their
aaeestors before the comic? of the
white mart. They suffer considerably
from tuberculosis, however, and the
Infant mortality rate ia high,
t-'se Medicinal Kerb
Dr. Cooper brought back with him
for study a large collection of herbs
used by the Cree la treating the
sick, which they believe are superior
to the white man's medicines. The
Crees value the herbs for their actual
curative properties, and not for any
magical potency. They understand
the idea of Infection and some of
their herbs are good antiseptic, Dr.
Cooper said.
The Crees apparently had no ideas
of as evil spirit such as the devil or
of belt, until Christian teachings
were brought to them by mission
aries. Dr. Cooper discovered this in
the course of a study of the Indians'
own religious beliefs.
Far North "Heaven
They believed originally osiy in
a sort of heaven In the far north,
where souls of the departed went
after death, asd whenever the north
ern lights could be seen flickering on
the northern horizon it was believed
to be these departed soula dancing.
The Crees believe that actually
every person has two souls, one dwel
ling in the heart or the head and
the other outside but near the body.

On the sunny slopes of Smyrna
. . in the fertile fields of
Macedonia , , along the
shores of the Black Sea , , ,
grows a kind of tobacco that
is different from any other
tobacco in the world.
HESE Turkish tobaccos are
the only tobaccos of foreign
cultivation that are used to any
great extent ia making American
cigarettes.
Turkish tobaccos are famous
for their spicy aroma, and a
blend of the right kinds of Turk
ish tobacco with our own home,
grown tobaccos is better than
any one kind used alone.
In Chesterfield we balance
mild, ripe tobaccos grown in
this country with just the right
amounts of the right kinds
of Turkish,
It is by blending and cross
blending these different tobaccos
that we make Chesterfield the
cigarette that's milder, the ciga
rette that tastes better.
