FHA Financing
Aids Purchaser
Present methods of home financ
ing have introduced a new and
broader opportunity for home
ownership, according to officials
of the Federal Housing Adminis
tration.
In former year* a home buyer
bad to have a very substantial
down payment, varying from
SI,OOO to $2,500. If the buyer was
unable to jiay this from savings,
he was forced to resort to an ex
pensive second mortgage.
A decade acy* the budding indus
try was inclined to overshoot its
housing market by offering too
many large, expensive houses
which were far beyond the needs
or the means of the average fam
ily. it was said.
A great manv people who were
able to get beyond the initial
griefs of home financing bought
these homes and found out later
on that they could not handle the
payments.
Today both methods and results
•re different, Rnrrower* now
agree to repay the loan o\er a
longer period of time on monthly
payments which include interest,
payments to principal, hazard in
aurance, taxes and all charges.
Further, under these new meth
ods it is not necessary to renew
the mortgage.
Homes are being buili loday for
families who in former years could
not even seriously consider home
ownership. It Is in this field lhat
the grtat changes have taken
place, and it i« in this field that
the future of th a home-building
Industry lies

Get War Work
To Turn Out Bullets
for Armor-Piercers;
Secret ’Lathe' Planned
By IMRRFI.I, GARWOOD
lnl*l Xr»« Srr%tr# MnlT < »rrr*|>i>nit«-nt
CHICAGO. April 4 The Chi
cago area defense program today
moved into the last stray corners
of its mechanical production ca-j
pacify with a project slated to
produce 200.000.000 bullets a week
in small machine shops and one
lathe garages.
Production experts, relying espe
cially on commercial garage space,
e\|xcot to achieve this out {louring i
of armor-piercing missiles from,
simplified lathes which can cut
four .30- 50 caliber bullets a min
ute and can be o|h> rated by un
skilled workers, including women.
The lather a "secret weapon”
which talks louder Than words
has been brought nut by an
Indiana firm to avoid delay in wait
ing for more complicated bullet
cutting machinery. Because of it.
no mechanical shop is now too
small lo engage direetly in war
production.
Speedy Turnover
The small-shop program is the
latest in a long series of moves
designed to bring the Chicago area
into full-blast war production. The
larger establishments estimate
their conversion from peace to war
pursuits as high as 95 per cent.
Smaller firms are- making the
turnover with increasing rapidity.
The worlds largest maker of
railroad equipment, noted for the
luxurious appointments oT its pas
senger rats, has become one of the
world s largest producers of not
so-luxurious "land battleships”—
tanks and it is still completing
new freight cars on an average of
one every 4' a minutes.
On the small-scale side, a former
maker of toy airplanes for chil
dren is fully engaged in making a
war-vital precision tool, no bigger
than a safety pin, and a fountain
l»en manufacturer has turned his
plant over to the manufacture of
bomb fuses.

ment vehicles, may lie painted the
