CONSERVATION FOR
BUILDING INDUSTRY
Hard to Present in Southern Cali.
fornia Because of Previ-
GUS Failures.

While the average citizen today is
Interesting himself talking conserva-
ton of almost everything with his
neishbor and the daily newspapers are
filled with the same subject. 1T might
be timely to consider the idea OF con-
serving some of the elements in the
building industry-conservatio to the
extent of Standardization of methods.
materials and prices. This is subject
rather hard to approach in southern
California. where more attempts to or
ganize and standardize have failed Of
success than perhaps in any other like
community on the coast, says the
Southwest Builder and Contractor.
Nevertheless Standardization Is ef-
dciency'c parent, and until some method
has been devised to conserve the enor~
nous waste of energy and money ex-
pended yearly in doing business In the
building trade the same chaotic condf-
ton of the industry will continue.
Individual crafts have frequently at
tempted this work in their own lines,
only to find a stumbling block In the
lukewarm attitude of a relative indus
try and discouraging methods pursued
by some so-called contractors or build
ers whose only object is to destroy the
sincere work of an industry that they
individually and temporarily might
profit.
This is a shortsighted point of view.
for standards must be instituted and
maintained If you would establish Ell
ficient business dealings and provide
fair competition.
For instance, there is the lack of uni
formity in specifications of a material
where only one can be secured. but de-
confusion of the quantity man.
There are also quantities being taken
from a set of plans of structure by
ten different surveyors with ten differ
emit versions of the required materials
or work involved. whereas one quantity
expert would answer for the ten.
Materials with the same basic cost
have the widest variations of selling
price. and it is not unusual to fnd as
many as a dozen estimates covering the
same items. with variety of % per cent
in the amounts. Labor needs standard
ization. making the wage high enough
in all cases to insure physical efficiency
and decent living.
There are today many idle contrac-
tors, and on the other hand great
shortage Of master craftsmen. A
standard uniform wage would make of
many an unsuccessful contractor a
first class journeymen contented with
his remuneration and would reduce the
number of bidders in the field. thereby
assuring profitable results, with work
enough for all Better Workmanship
would be the result and less litigation
follow the completion of q contract and
therein profit the owner.
The Standardization OF materials and
prices and a uniform wage Is one Of the
principal policies advocated by the
Building Industries Association. and
the association will insist wherever
possible upon such standards being
adopted. firmly believing that such pro-
cedure will assure better conditions
than now obtain, and the association is
also on record with the belief that this
can better be secured with the Coop
Grafton of the entire industry than by
individual interests.

HONOR THEIR DEAD
 ON BATTLEFIELD
Whole Division, Under General
 Michel, Stand at Salute

French Front, Sept. 16 (Corre- spondence of The Associated Press)- The division will salute the memory of those of it's comrades who have fallen while fighting for their coun- try!"
 The voice of General Michel, one of the young French commanders who by sheer merit has made his way to the front rank during the war, rang out clearly over a stubble field not far from the fighting lines. The troops of his division, drawn up in deep formation facing towards the point whence the sound of the Ger man guns could be heard plainly, pre- sented arms and the drums tapped out general salute, while the colors of the various regiments were low cred out of respect for those who had died. The long rows of bayonets re- mained perfectly still for several min utes while the roll of the drums con- tinued and, even after this had ceased and absolute silence reigned, the men stood motionless for a further period, their thoughts with their former com rades.
 This ceremonial honoring of those who have made the great sacrifice is always carried out after a division has left the front line trenches, for during the fighting it is often impos- sible to perform any religious service over those who fall and are buried where they die. Respect for the dead is deeply ingrained in the French character and the soldiers appre- ciate greatly such an opportunity to honor those who have died a war rior's death.

8 loaf of bread, or half pint of milk"
 That is the manner in which Van ii. Manning, Director of the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, en- deaVored to impress the state assist ants of the Fuel Administration with the necessity for the economical use of fuel. The state deputies had been called together in Washington by Dr. H. A. Garfield, the Fuel Administra- tor for family council concerning the urgent work to be taken up in each state.
 '"The householder must, therefore, appreciate that it is now worth while to examine his house and to over- haul his heating equipment" con- tinued MT. Manning. "Weather strips. double windows, pipe coverings, clean fues and chimneys, and tight fittings in ash pits, doors, dampers and fur mace parts will all pay. Damper con- trol is one of the chief secrets of eco- no1nical heating. Clean heating sur faces are most essential as soot is a poorer conductor of heat than asbes- tos. Care, attention, and taking pains will be the greatest factors in saving domestic coal"
 MT. Manning said that about twen- ty per cent. of the six hundred million tons of coal mined in the United States is used for house heating and that it is shoveled by more than fif- teen million people.
 Americans have been as wasteful of coal as of other resources contin- l ued MT. Manning, largely because coal has been abundant. To many consumers it has seemed hardly worth while to give time and thought to the saving of coal. Conditions have sud- denly changed. Today it is every body's business to save coal. Coal is l the foundation stone of industry. Without it the production of equip l ment for war must halt. One mans | careless and wasteful use may mean 1 an idle factory or could house for l his neighbor. With the world looking
 to us largely for it's coal supply with
 increased demands at home, with a
 scarcity of available labor, with over
 taxed transportation facilities the con-
 sumer of coal must pause ond give se-
 rious consideration to the problem
 which confronts the country.

 intelligent consideration of the burn

ing of coal, they can begin to save ten per cent. of the production, or sixty million tons, at once. With more effort, thorough instruction and moderate remodeling of coal-burning equipment, which could all be accom- plished during the war, a further con- siderable saving could be made.
 ''The possible saving when present
 practice is compared with the best
 ideal practice is very large. If it were possible to supply the need of this country for light, heat and power
 through the highest type of mechan- ical devices, and if we could make skilled user out of the average user, we could probably get along with half
 as much coal as we are now consum- ing. This ideal is far beyond present realization. We cannot scrap all out of-date power plants. We must start with doing the best with what we
 have. We must begin saving coal at once"

seen much fighting all along the front. It had served in Alsace, at Verdun. on the Somme and on the Aisne, where attacks from one side or the other have been of daily occurrence for nearly four months. One of its units was a battalion of the famous chasseurs who are to be found wher-' ever fighting is heavy, and before the memorial service another ceremony had taken place, for 1t was this bat talion's turn to be entrusted with the charge of the regimental flag of the chasseurs for period of three months. Each battalion in rotation is accorded this honor and every man in the battalion guarding the color seems to feel a personal pride in the emblem beneath which he marches. The flag bears at the head of it's staff the three highest military decorations-the Le- zion of Honor, the military medal and the war cross-bestowed as a reward for the constant and conspicuous bravery of the soldiers who have fought under it.
 These chosen troops, the chasseurs had made history long before this war. The first Napoleon had a bat talion of chasseurs in the Guards Corps of the Grand Army. After wards they disappeared from the army list for a time, but were re- constructed by the Duke of Orleans under Louis Philippe. ,,,
 Solferino, during the Italian war of Liberation, and Sebastopol, in the Crimean war, added to the fame of the chasseurs, and during the war of 1870 against the Prussians they dis tinguished themselves on many occa- sions. ...'
