As indicative OF public enthusiasm

contributions and il was expected
that the total amount collected

to the public, but highly efficient.
Proposed Organization.
In addition, various other branch
es of the government have a few
men charged with Going detective
work Furthermore. every state,
county and municipality has police
officers of some sort.
The plan contemplates welding
together all federal officers and so
organizing the state county and
city officers as TO make them readily
available for cooperation Under
such a plan the most experienced
men would be picked from the vari-
Gus secret services and used to
handle the most delicate Of the Ger
man spy work. Less experienced
men would carry on the routine de-
tective work of the several depart
ments.
With the entire federal intelligence
service under one head, the best
head in the several branches could
be detailed at will, where the need
was greatest.
Federal officials are determined
that new and better methods be
adopted for the handling Of the in
telliEence work of the government
i'm order that the spreading German
spy system may be checked.

Although engaged in the greatest
war of its history and a war in which
the enemy is using more insidious
means of obtaining information and
causing internal dissension than ever
has been known before, the Ameri
can intelligence system remains on
the old peace time basis. Scattered
branches are working separately,
often duplicating each others eff
forts through lack of general di-
rection.
Various Branches.
The various branches of the fed
eral government now charged with
carrying on intelligence operations
are:
The bureau Of investigation. de-
partment of justice, on which the
bulk of the German spy work has
fallen.
The secret service, treasury de
partment, the activities of which are
strictly curtailed by law.
The postotfice inspectors, whose
detective work now is along spe-

VALLEY HARDWARE CO. SUPPLIES SUNCOURT
 WITH SPECIAL GOODS

The finish hardware used in Sun avenue and Roosevelt streets, which is about to be opened, was specially designed for that building. So great was the desire of the owners to have everything harmonize in design and architectural scheme that special goods were ordered.
 The Valley Hardware company, North Central avenue, supplied this finish hardware, which included une locks, butts, cabinet hardware, etc This firm had it made under special order at the plant Of the Russell & Erwin Manufacturing company of Connecticut, makers of the famous Russwin hardware.
 The placing of the finish hardware in Suncourt was under the super vision of ]. F.. Leonard, representa- tive of the factory, who is emplOye, by the Valley Hardware company and who is at all times available ana ready to give suggestions to people intending to build.
 One of the features of this finish hardware is the key system. It is similar to that installed in the best hotels It guarantees to the tenants at Suncourt absolute safety through the doors by burglars or others with no business there.
 Among the other finish hardware furnished by the Valley Hardware company are the sash weights, all the nails used. and in fact, all other material that hardware store can supply.

Building Material

The situation as regards prices of nearly all materials entering into building construction is in a state of fluX and uncertainty, says the American Contractor Whatever con ditions may be taken as a basis for discussion today are liable to be modified CT entirely altered by the time this article appears in print. With this in mind We may consider briefly few of the more import ant commodities.
 Steel is one of the great keys to ] the building situation. especially as regards the big. costly structures erectei for investment These are 1 the operations which noticeably affect building statistics and in an import ant way furnish employment for both capital and labor. The price at which steel was held through i'm i possibility of procuring it at any price was factor in bringing building 1 operations, in certain lines, to standstll.
 The present situation is more Hopeful. The fixing hy the govern ment of prices on steel and coke i removes one obstacle to buildinh progress, providing it shall appear that deliveries are fairly dependable If our government and our allies take the. entire output our building situation is not helped.
 Coal is not only | considerable item in the operating expense of | buildings, but has a direct effect upon the production price of steel and indeed, of every other product used in building The price of coal has been fixed by the government at levels higher than we have been accustomed to but which give assur ance that no advance need be ap- prehended The question remains whether the coal operators will pro- Luce on the established basis.
 Brick has shown marked decline but it is hardly likely that the price will recede much further this season. Quotations are not far from the normal level of peace times and la bor is high and scarce.
 Cement has become stabilized at the $212 price in New York and there is little likelihood of much . val aIiance from this figure. There is q large demand for this pEoduct for governmental purposes. Both cement and brick are favorably re- garded for more extensive use where ever they can be made to replace steel and that applies to buildings mp to eight stories in height. In
 .his connection terra cotta is also to be considered; it is easily handled, readily obtainable and lends itself
 to highly pleasing architectural eff } fleets.
 These four items should be held in mind: Common brick. face brick, : cement and terra cotta They are everywhere available and many forms ? of building can be produced by their ] use
 Lumber is feeling the extraordinary z demand for governmental purposes l and it may not show any great re-
 duction in the near future.

comprised 155, 900 feet. which is con sidered by builders as something of q job. It was all Oregon pine. first class construction lumber. and the most of it was shipped cn special order from Oregon and trana1ered here direct from the ears to the job.
 In this way considerable time and the additional expense of handling twice was saved On large orders of this kind. as explained, dealers are always anxious to deliver direct from the cars, as the expense saved on q large job is quite an item.
 The lumber was all on the ground in advance of the time when it was needed by the carpenters, 50 thai the construction work at Suncourt went forward without a hitch. II was due largely to this good man. agement that the building was car red through from the start to com pletion i'll a remarkably short time.
