impossible for Nerwegians to compete
successfully. but the war Increased
prices to such an extent that some
Norwegian promoters started two 10
dine factories, with the seaweed pro
dueers as stockholders. In less than

OXFORD, Eng. Aug. 16.-"There
will be no more cheap prices; after
this the world is in for a period OF
rising prices" declared Dr. Slater,
principal of Ruskin college, Oxford,
in the first of series of lectures on
Economic Phases of the World
War
Il do not believe" he said, that
there will be a period Of poverty after
the war There will be no necessity
for poverty. and such poverty as
there is will be due to misapplication
of the productive powers which will
be available. II will be the poverty
which comes from wasted resources
and not from inadequate resources.
There will be no return to the pre-
war prices. That means that there
win be permanent readjustment OF
our methods. There will have to bs
permanent rise of wages and othel
permanent readjustments to meet the
higher prices. The proper policy fol

several efforts to induce other estab-

completed and probably will be put out
for estimate before the end of May. The
appropriation for the building is $780,
600 Ground at the site has been cleared.
The building will have several novel
features. 1t is to be built in the form of
an f, SO as to give the maximum OF
light and air. The windows will be AS
large as absolute essentials to sound and
safe construction will permit.
More interesting is the disposition of
offices proposed. Instead of having all
the offices of one bureau assembled on the
same floor it is intended to distribute
them on several floors, confined to one
section of the structure, and accessible by
stairways and elevators. The offices will
be grouped on vertical lines, instead of
on the usual horizontal plan.
This is a new system Of grouping, with
consideration for the most efficient COM
munication. 1t is the theory that the dis
lance up or down stairs is better in the
matter of conservation than to spread
Offices on the same plane with long walk
ing distances. Rapid elevators and easy
stairways will facilitate communication.
The building ewill have a frontage on
E and F streets of 4O1 feet 10 inches
and on 18th and 18th streets of 392 feet
2 inches. The three parallel wings of
the building run south from F. street,
forming two large courts open to the
south
