In these distracting times business

that assumption the great building in

regarded as fortunate. For the month OF

ering the period of initial financial shock,
new construction was entered into almost
fully equivalent 70 that undertaken dur
ing the corresponding month last year.
The loss was 4 per cent. but small losses
like that may well be ignored.

issued by seventy-two OF the principal
cities throughout the country during the
month Of August. received by the Amerl-
can Contractor, Chicago. reach total Of

A number Of prosecutions have resulted

that the prosecutions Of these individual

Of decreasing the number of thefts. The

The question as 20 whether It lie worth

It seems 20 be no trouble for the thieves

case OF one thief who was caught deliver

down It was found the thief was working
for the junk dealer and was driving one
of the junk mans wagons.
r. II. Myers suggested that an ordb-
nance requiring junk dealers to report
daily the names of all persons selling

goods might be a good one. This is done
in the case Of pawnbrokers, In order 10

operatives OF punching machines, the
last word in bookkeeping. These
machines, which are used in statlsti-
cal departments Of many great faCto-
ries, are being investigated to aSccr-
tain their effects upon the women
Ii was said at the department that
an effort was being made to devise an
electrical apparatus to operate the
punches. relieving the women ~
much of the physical strain. which
officials hold responsible for their
nervous condition
The machines at present in use in
many auditing departments, includ-
ing the postoffiCe auditors bureau. re-
quire the operators to press down
numbered keys, which cut out CORE
spending marks in the cards be-
meath. All figuring is done mechan-
ically, the punch marks guiding the

trically driven.
Operators have complained OF sore
fingers due to the pressure required
on the punch keys. AS the soreness
spread to arm and shoulders symp-
toms of nervousness followed. and
often complete nervous Lreakdowns
have been the elimination. 1t is
hoped an electrical device will mini
mize the physical effort required and
eliminate the majority of nervous
