MARGIN ALLOWED "It will be noted," says Director Bingham, "that discretion in regard to maturity is still allowed the administrator under the new section with respect to loans for new structures for residential or agricultural purposes. The administrator's new Title I regulations, therefore, will fix a maximum maturity for loans in this category, as well as such other general terms, con-1 ditions, and restrictions as are made discretionary with him."

Use of prefabricated materials, structiort in 30 to 45 days of a nome tnat some years ago would have required three to four months. Emphasizing the increasing use of insulating materials, he stated that three organizations have been formed to distribute rock wool, a new product now manufactured on the Pacific Coast Insulation, he said, tends to increase the livability of a home as well as enhance -its sale possibilities.

conditions. When it was found that a great many small-cost homes for permanent resi dence were being built under Title I regulations, that part of the Housing Act took on far greater significance. "While detailed rules and regulations have not as yet been re ceived" by the local office, a re view of the amendments has clarified some of the highlights," it was stated yesterday by W. G. Bingham, director of the Southern California District, F.II.A.

TIME LIMITED Pointed out is that Section 1 continues for two years the au thority of the F.H.A. to insure qualified financial institutions against loss on -Title I loans, in cluding catastrophe loans. It sets the maximum amount of any Title I loan at $2500 with a maximum- maturity, save in the case of loans for financing new structures for residential or agricultural purposes, at three years and 32 days. In the case of new construc tion loans, the maturity cannot be in excess of 10 years and 32 days. Of special interest also is that all new structures insured under Title I can carry only first mort- gages and no second mortgages of any kind.

It also limits, Director Bing- nam explains, the insurance granted each institution on loans made after July 1, 1039, to 10 per cent of their total. Section 2 provides for the payment by the insured institution cf a premium charge not in excess of three-fourths of 1 per cent per annum of the net proceeds of Title I loans, such premium charge to be payable in advance by the financial institution, at such time and manner as may be prescribed by the administrator of the F.II.A. LOANS FIXED Further explained is that in setting $2500 as a maximum amount of insurable loan this section retains the maximum formerly fixed with respect to loans for the building of new structures, but reduces the old $10,000 maximum on loans for repairs or improvements upon existing structures, and the old $50,000 maximum on catastrophe loans for the rebuilding or replacement of certain types of property.

Modern Items Used in House Many Novel Ideas Added to Features of New Home Area: 30O0 square feet Cost: $12,000 Modern thought in architec ture, as well as in other fields, is said to be directed at the present time toward a discard of many traditional ideas. This has lead to a searching analysis of many accepted standards. The result of the inquiry into old methods of planning and construction of homes is developing a home of enlarged usefulness without ma terially adding to the cost.

NEW ITEMS Although the house presented herewith follows in thought the traditional California architec ture, which has many desirable qualities for this climate and the available materials, it also in cludes many ideas of arrange ment and design which make it a distinctly modern home. It i3 the work of Architect Walter L. Moody. The house has an unusually compact and convenient general plan arrangement. All room3 are directly and conveniently acces sible.

The kitchen, although small, is adequate because of careful arranging and the use of modern labor-saving devices. The dining room and kitchen are eparated by a breakfast room in which has been included a cheerful corner window. CON VENIENT FEATURES The living room is provided with a large fireplace. The disposition of wall space will allow for pleasant grouping of furniture. A pleasant feature of this room is the French doors which open onto the garden terrace.

The room designated a3 the den could be -adapted to many purposes. As a guest room it is well isolated from the other portions of the house. It would serve equally well as a library, office or play room. 'ile 8 -a, I Drill. A Garage Complete Pay leu tdos S22.SO per month Iii.

Primer. We are about to select wall paper for several rooms in our house and would like any advice you may have on the sub ject. A. It Is a simple matter to ehoose wall paper If you remember that small rooms require plain or small patterned paper and large rooms can stand large designs. Too much pattern in any room tends to contusion ana unresmii-ness so It Is wine to avoid patterned paper If the nigs, drapes and upholstery show many colors In strong design.

Q. To get efficient lighting, i there anything we should con-eider besides the problem of enough convenience outlets? A. To have enough wire rapars lv in all circuits is also important. You pay for the current 'that passes through vour meter. If you choke it by ''tight wires," copper too small, your lights will be dimmer, your appliances will take longer to do their Jobs and your radio will lose volume.

Large enough wires will provide for your present and increasing needs safely and economically without unnecessary loss of convenience and efficiency. Mora detailed information on adequate wiring may be had upon request. Our house is very old and we are getting ready to modern ize the kitchen. We are especially interested in having steel cabi nets and we wondered if it would be possible to get any that would fit our kitchen arrangement. A.

It Is now possible to get tpel kitchen units In sizes that will fit almost any size and shape kitchen. Regular standard units have been designed in sizes which make it a simple matter to plan and completely equip an all-steel kitchen. The units may also be used 1 conjunction with your New Metal Blind Produced Here A new type of window blind etops the Fsa on the outside yet admits lignt and air as desired, doe3 not tear, break, flap, rust or get out of order, as it is made entirely of metal.
