PLUMBERS RESOLUTION
NOT ACTED ON YET.
Building Trades Council Has Not Re-
ceived Reports from Locals.

No vote was reached Saturday night
by the Building Trades council at a
meeting held in Carpenters hall on
the resolution submitted by the
Plumbers union regarding the en-
ployment of plumbers on local work.
Only two of the six locals which are
affiliated in the council-the Painters
and Decorators union and the Masons
and Pla sterers' union-had taken a
vote on the resolution during the week,
and neither of them reported what
their decision had been.
No immediate action on the new res
olution is imperatively necessary, it
is stated. as the are no local jobs at
present which are affected by it. The
council adjourned subject to the call
of President James Grierson.

Nervousness--A Lack of Control

How often we meet women who

There is talk. as there has been

cations of Paris, which are perfectly
useless now in the improved condi-

building houses on the large tract OF
ground which would be set free right
round Paris. At present the fortifica-
tons are not only useless as pro-
lection to the city in time OF war. but
they are absolutely dangerous to the
citizens in time of peace. According
to the law a large space around the
fortffications is kept free OF all stone
buildings. This military zone. as It
is called, has no houses upon 1t. but
little one-story huts are allowed to
be built there and are rented at tiny
rentals by the military authorities.

The first boost that was given to the Amer

farmers to select their seed corn with great

of what happens to remain in the crib at plant-

alone has approximateo at least twenty per
