BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIA
‘ TIONS.
The building- »nd loan association bus
iness in the United " States showed a
growth of ten per cent in 1924 over 1923.
according to figures recently announced.
I-oans aggregating $11260.000 were made
on 360.000 homes and total assets of the
11,814 associations in the country are
now placed at $4,126,000,000. Since at,
least 90 per cent, of the assets of these j
associations represent first mortg:tges oil j
homes, it is estimated that 36 per. cent. |
of the financing of urban and suburban 1
homes is accomplished through this means.
The figures indicate the powerful influenced
in the direction of home ownership that ,
is exercises through these organizations. ]
North Carolina has taken the lead |
among Southern States in the develop-,
ment of these associations, and it is sig- :
mtirant that in that state the 1920 census j
showed about 52 per cent, of the homes i
to have been rented, while in South j
Carolina the percentage of rented homes !
was 68 per cent, and tin Georgia 69 per
cent. In 1923 the North Carolina asso
ciations helped to build 6.000 homes val
ued at more than $17,000,000. loaning,
in all. $21,500,000.
In proportion to the size of the city in
which they operate, the building and loan
associations in Concord are among the
largest and most successful in the State.
I’ractically all of the homes erected in
* this city are financed by some one of the
three building and loan associations and
Concord people have come to recognize
the associations as the real assets of Con
cord.
MOTOR TRAFFIC IN THE STATE.
North Carolina has ordered more than
490.000 auto license tags for' 1925 and
these Slate officials who are most familiar
with conditions declare the number se
cured will not be too many.
The State will realize a tidy sum from
the purchasers of these tags and in addi
tion these some owners will be paying in
todthe State another large sum as taxes
on the gasoline they use. The State has
been collecting many millions each year,
blit with the tax increased at present the
total for the year will of necessity be
larger.
l ; > The good roads built in this State have
cost the people some money, or at least
t they have cost money indirectly, bnt
when the 400,000 antos and trucks which
will use the 400.000 licenses get in oper
ation in 15)25 the road debt will be
greatly reduced. The money from the 11-
f cense tags and gasoline tax goes for State
road work and it will not take many
years for the taxes to cover the cost of
the building operations.
; SHOULD RAISE QUOTA EASILY.
y Concord has been asked to give $1,700
to the American Legion Endowment Fund
P and the sum should be raised here be
tween the rising and getting of the sun
on a single day. It is troe that several
M “drives" have jnst been completed, bnt
$1,700 is such a small sum that work
ers : n the Legion campaign should have
If no difficulty whatever in securing it.
The Legion wants to enlarge upon the

Pin Money All Sewed Up.
“Hubby doesn't have to know every
thing." said Mrs. Maggie Myers, of Hack
ensack. N. J., when she started 20 years
ago to lay up a little money on her own
account. Note by note she added to the
principle in her private bj nk, which
was none other than her undergarments.
She sewed the money securely in bags and
attached them to her clothing. »
All went well until recently when Mrs.
Myers fell and broke her hip. She was
taken to a hospital and attendants pre
pared her for treatment. When her un
dergarments were removed the “bank’’
was disclosed and the interest grew as
officials counted the money. Over $4,000
was found but some of the bills were so
damaged from crumpling, perspiration etc.,
that they couldn't all be identified off
hand. The U. S. treasury will decide
what the money is worth.
And hubby still works.

The Spy.
According to a London message, three
subjects especially occupy the attention
of the spy today. They arc aviation,
poison gas and naval designs.
These three things indicate the trend
of research and discovery in modern
war equipment. By the almost unani
mous consent of the nations the develop
ment of airiraft is the matter that Is be
ing most closely watched.
If nnyone takes the trouble to keep
an eye on the world’s news, it will be
seen that there is almost as much talk
about one nation spying on another ns
there was in tlie mouths 'preceding the
World War. So “jumpy" did certain
countries become as to the system of
espoinage that was alleged to be going
on. that there developed a state of nerv
es in some countries which caused some
neop’e to see airships cleaving the skies
in the lonely watches of the night and
strnnge men with fierce mustaches nnd
foreign accents making sketches around
fortresses or puloming blue prints from
the' shipbuilding yards.
To find cut. just what a potential
enemy may be doing has become more
or less of a fetish in modern times. But
the nation that.l had the most perfect
nnd baffling sectyj Service in the Inst
war was whipped. And the United
States, which had hardly any such ser
vice, was able through its young men to
get till the information it wanted.
After all, winder in pence or war,
there will always be sufficient Might
to defend the Right.
