SKY ScRAPERS As WEALTH MAKERS
Acres Added to City Aeas-Rea Estate Values Have Been
Increased by Millions.

The ground area upon which the -
skyscrapers now going up will stand
Is only little more than three acres.
Yet 100000 persons will be housed on
these three acres every day without
crowding.-
A most important economic factor Ia
the wonderful speed made possible by
the use Of steel and holl0w-tile in sky
scraper construction, eRecting an es-
timated saving OF time of from six to
twelve months. This means a saving
of 100000 In rentals on two average
buildings. Hollow brick have revOlu-
tionized the methods of modern build
ings.
Those who think that skyscraper
building is being overdone may be
surprised to know that long before a
new one is finished large part of its
space is rented. The safety of the fire.
proof skyscraper is no longer ques-
toned. Architects and builders are
agreed that the steel-framed structure
is the safest and most enduring type.
This is due mainly to the fact that the
terra Gotta fire proOfing used to pro-
tect the steel has made even the tall
est and heaviest building practically
immune from corrosion as well as
from the danger of conf1agratiOn.

Ullmarl BECOMES Rich
While in Asylum
Book Makers Investments in the
Stock Market Bring Fortune
and He Receivers Health
Special by Leased Wire to The Call

y
NEW. YORK, Nov. 15.--Just before
Joseph Ullman. the book maker and
racetrack gambler. became mentally
unbalanced last spring he plunged into
the stock market with an. abandon, that
his friends now believe was the result
OF his arrangement but which has
brought to him, it is said, greater
wealth than he ever before possessed.
Exactly how much he has made it is
Impossible to state at present. One of
his intimate friends said today that
Ullmans stay in an insane asylum
would net him at least 100000. and
the figures may be far larger. When
Ullmsn had so far recovered that 1t
was thought safe to ask him about his
business affairs he said that he had no
recollection of having gone into the
market.
Little by little, however, his memory
returned to him and he began to give
assistance to those who were endeavor-
ing to untangle the skein of his imam
cial affairs. A few days ago Make
Blumenthal, who has been one of Ull-
mans closest friends. telegraphed to
him in Los Angeles congratulating him
upon his return TO health and also upon
his good fortune in the stock market.
Now. it SO happened that Blumenthal
was one of those who bought stocks
last winter against .Ullmans advice,
and his losses were heavy. The reply
Blumenthal received from California
indicated that Ullman had so far re
covered as to have a keen apprecia tion
of humor. His telegram read;
Make Blumenthal,s New York: 1t
looks as though they put the wrong
man in the asylum. Joe Ullman.''
II Ullman's condition continues to i'm
prove as-it has in the laststwo months
he will be able to return to business

Says People Should Get

BERKELEY, Nov. Americans

them the laughing stock of the

IS the substance of what John Graham
Brooks. the we'll known economic
writer. who for two years was con.
nected with the department. of labor
of the government. told the students
OF the university assembled at =
meeting in Hal gIon gymnasium today
He said that the race problem was OF
the greatest Importance at the presen,
time and was more pronounced on this
coast than in the east. Misunderstood
ing that the people of this country
had of foreigners was due, said Brooks,
TO their bad management of the race
conditions. He characterized the
treatment accorded the Indians as
stupid, brutal and unfair. Brooks
statements created a sensation. He
said in part:
When James Bryce was visiting me
in the east we talked over the great
race problem which America has to
face. Bryce, who is one Of the greatest
lovers Of America, said to me that IT
was the studepts of the country who
weuld be her salvation. as their greater
knowledge would give them greater
sympathy and understanding There
are over so natfonalfties in this cour-
try. and the problem which calls for a
solution is to get into friendly rela-
tions with them. We cannot go on
with the old brutal idea of mastering
them.
americans are braggarts. The for
eigners who come to this country in
variably scott at us because we boast
too much. We are not it There are
others in the world fact which the
American is prone to forget
Il have come in contact with your
race problem here in the west, and ]
have seen things that have never seen

nounced here than in the east, and !
believe firmly that the race question
is of more Importance than any other
It is of more Importance than the labor
problem, although I have given that
more attention. I am going to tell
you a sociological fact. There is not
a social settlement that have observed
where the workers have not succeeded
in attaining A true understanding OF
the foreigners with whom they have

meet with this personal contact, how
