REAL ESTATE. UNIFORM TRUST « LAW ADVOCATED Nashville Attorney Depicts Benefits Possible Under Pro- posed Standard Regulation. Adoption of a uniform mortgage law throughout all of the States would ac- complish vast savings that would be passed down to the borrower and make the mortgage & more liquid_ security, according to F. M. Bass, Nashville, ‘Tenn., general counsel of the Mortgage Bankers’ Association of America. In outlining the great benefits of standard mortgage laws Gen. Bass de- scribed the protective features from the point of view of the public that sre contained in a model uniform law that is all drawn up, tested and ready to be presented to the legislatures in the 48 States. ‘This model law has been worked out by a commission of prominent attorncys representing the Natlonal Confereace ©of Commissioners on Uniform Laws, an organization sponsored by the American Bar Association. It was this commis- sion that drew up and had enacted the uniform negotiable instrument law that has provided enormous benefits to busi- ness and commerce. He told the association at its recent convention that insurance companies ‘who are large purchasers of mortgages encounter great expense and unneces- sary delays in handling mortgages from their headquarters through the various States. With such widely divergent laws in every State, from the actual ‘wording of the documents to the meth- od of foreclosure, large insurance com- panies and other organizations whose urchases of mortgages amount to mil- ions of dollars monthly must neces- sarily maintain costly legal staffs and clerical forces to examine the papers in each and every transaction in order to assure their conformity with the laws of the particular State in which they are executed. The model law described by Gen. Bass, if adopted, will simplify fore- Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. Three lamps of especial note for the informally furnished home or apart- ment are shown in the illustration and any one of them would add a touch of distinction to a room. ‘The one at the top is of white china decorated with a hunting scene featur- ing red and blue, with the blue re- peated in lines around the base. The shade is of parchment and the lines which decorate it are also blue. This lamp would be appropriate for a boy's room. For a colonial bedroom, nothing could ly be more appropriate than the shown at the bottom of the illus- tration. It is of pink luster, which we all love so much, and he shade is of paper decorated with pink polka dots and a scalloped border of pink at the top and bottom. ‘The living room would be delightful with a lamp like that shown at the right, which has a pewter base and a glass’ chimney. The shade is of plaid paper on the diagonal and you will be surprised to know that the electrical attachment is such that the bulb has more than one “s| " so that the light may be made bright or dim just like the oil lamps. Armistice Day Topic. Rev. Harvey Baker Smith, pastor of the Columbia Heights Christian Church, will preach at the 11 o'clock service to: morrow on “The Cost in Blood,” voted to Armistice day. His subject 8 p.m. will be “World Call an closure meahmi.sl J:d &etterhdenne tQ.I':e mortgagee’s position thap is now the case in any of the States, according to the speaker. It will provide an adequate period of redemption, during which the property owner may redeem his prop- erty even after the sale. As an illus- tration of the widely divergent provi- sions of the existing laws in this con- nection, Gen. Bass called attention to the fact that at present the period of redemption varies from a minimum of 21 days in some States to a maximum of 2 years in others. CHURCH ELECTS. The A. B.
