A, and Justice Depart- ment Train Guns on Fly-by-Nighters. Vigorous steps to protect the public | from fly-by-night real estate firms and others taking advantage of the na- tional housing act to practice fraud are being taken by the Federal Hous- ing Administration, in co-operation with the Department of Justice.

Their heads were lowered so that the sharp points of their great antlers pointed toward each other. As if by common impulse they suddenly dashed at each other. There was a great clash as the antlers met, a clash that rang through the Green Forest. Peering out from a thicket near by were Slimlegs, the small son of Light- foot, and his mother, Mrs. Lightfoot. Slimlegs fairly danced with excite- ment. His soft eyes were very wide. He had never seen anything like this before. He had never dreamed of such a sight. He had not even known | what those great antlers on his | moldings forming wall panels. The | father's head were for. Now he under- | Slimlegs and his mother were. Mrs. Lightfoot bounded out and Slimlegs that of a real estate firm in an East- ern city. This firm had published in local newspapers a false statement that the Federal Housing Adminis- tration had approved a low-cost hous- ing project in that community, giving the location. The next day an ad- vertisement, inserted by the same group, but under another name, offered lots for sale on a property adjoining the allegedly “approved project.” ‘The Federal Housing Administra- tion took prompt steps to protect the public from fraud in this case, as it had not approved the project nor had it been consulted in any way. Equally prompt steps will be taken whereyer else such frauds occur. Any offense against the national housing act is just as much a crime as the violation of any other Federal statute. | Offenders will be vigorously pros- and those found gullty face terms in Federal prisons. i While some instances of violation | of the act and of the regulations of the Federal Housing Administration are being prosecuted, such instances have been comparatively few, but to | warrant a warning to the public.
