STEEL STRUCTURES AND EARTH
QCAkES,

The question has frequently been
raised by the newspapers as we'll as
by builders whether the experience of
many years would show steel struc-
lures TO be the most permanent kind
of building, whether corrosion and
to be the enemy thereof This ques-
ton has not been settled, but the re-
fornia have redounded to the increased
popularity Of the steel building.
Authentic reports from San Francis

to the ability of'thc modern steel struc-
turc in withstanding both fire and

Is younger, The latter was employed

PAY OF RURAL CARRIERS


Washington.-An Official statement
has been furnished by the post Office
department which says:
In the matter Of rural carriers pay it
cen be authoritatively stated that there
Is no disposition on the part of the post
Office department to cut existing rates.
On the contrary, the department has
strongly recommended the advisability
Of congressional consideration Of the
subject looking to more adequate COM
pensation.
In the recent readjustments to COM
plete county service the number Of
routes reduced In mileage have exceed
ed the number increased. These con-
ditions have resulted in lowering the
average pay Of the carrier somewhat.
Until the service Is completed
throughout the country the average OF
carriers salaries, based upon the pres
ent legal allowances, will naturally
fluctuate from time to time, as routes
are increased or decreased in length.
