MARSHAL MUST
PASS ON PLANS
Garages, Picture Houses and
Dry Cleaning Plants Sub
ieCt to His Approval.

The state fire marshal, under the
law of 1913, establishing the office
of fire marshal is given the power
TO issue rules and regulations gov
erning the construction of garages,
dry cleaning establishments and
picture shows, and such regulations
have been prepared by the fire
marshal with a view of so control
ling the construction of these build
ings that the hazardous conditions
common to such occupancies may
be reduced 10 the minimum.
Those who contemplate build
ing picture shows, dry cleaning es-
adjustments and garages" says the
fire marshal, should remember
that plans for the construction of
such buildings must be submitted TO
this office for approval before the
work is begun.
If parties who are figuring on
putting up such buildings would
promptly mail us a copy of their
plans. much delay and inconven-
fence would be avoided and unnec-
essary expense saved in making
changes and corrections after the
building has been completed
There have been instances where
this department has been compell-
ed 10 order construction work dis
continued, and in some cases it has
been necessary 10 order certain
changes after the work has been
completed. simply through the
failure of the builder to comply with
our building requirements"
Copies of the rules and regula-
tions may be obtained upon request
from the state fire marshal at In
dianapolis.

Mr.. Woollen and his advisory
committee met prior 10 the meeting

said, and considered a tentative
program based upon the experience
of the past 10 days" He said
survey is being made by competent
people. Practically no coal from
other states is now coming into IN
diana, which ordinarily received 40
per cent Of its supply from out-state
sources. He said jobbers had re-
ported that they have had practi-
caly no coal for distribution for
three months.
The production of coal at Indiana
mines has increased 10 per cent
over last year, Mr.. WOOllen stated,
which would indicate that the fuel
shortage is not due 10 a shortage OF
production as from a disproportiOn-

In connection with Mr. WOOllen's
statement II. r. Kurrie. president of

the consumption of coal on the

GERMAN TRICKS
TO GET TRADE
J obberS Initiate American
Products to Deceive
Turkish Buyers.


Methods used by German business
, in its commercial penetration Of
Turkey are described and criticized
in a bulletin entitled Turkish Mar
kets for American Hardware" is
sued by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. department Of
commerce.
German endeavors in this field,
says the report. have been determ-
jred and adroit. Systematic dumping
extensive imitation of patented
American articles, and a persistent
and carefully organized solicitation
of the trade have been salient fea-
lures in the German campaign TO
dominate the Turkish markets and
link them firmly 20 the industrial
activities Of the Teutonic nations.
As is the case with various other
important lines American hardware
has not as a rule been sold directly
10 the Turkish distributor. In nor
NAL times il is sold through a few
firms in Hamburg and Bremen.
These concerns have houses in New
FORK, but it is erroneous TO con-
carnations. They are German job
bers working according to German
nethods and for German interests.
They ship American articles to Tur-
key only If they can not be re-
placed on the same terms by Ger
man articles. Under such cOndi-
tiOns il is an easy matter 10 mar
ket limitations of American goods,
and the Germans are master imi-
tators. according 10 the author Of
the government report, Consul Gen.
G. b. Rayndal. formerly at Constan-
tinople. Sometimes their catalogs
show American articles on one page
and the German imitation on the op-
pOsite page. with the advantages of
price. quick delivery, etc. of the
German goods conspicuously indi-
Gated.
These limitations are very close,
proceeding even TO the brand and
name of the article, and there is al
ways reduction in price. That the
Germans keep the American article
in the catalogs at all must be as
cribed 20 the fact that there are
people in Turkey who appreciate the
excellence of the American product.
i'm spite of all manIpulations and de-
ceptions, and insist on having what
they want
1t is surprising 10 learn that in
spite Of conditions under which it
I is sold in Turkey, American hard
ware had gained an important po-
sition before the war. solely on is
merits. IL may be surprising even
TO American manufacturers, many
of whom are probably unaware that
their goods are sold there at all.
OF all the shelf hardware it actual
ly sold in Turkey, fully 60 per cent
is sold as American. and 20 per
cent Of il actually is American. The
| holding of 20 per cent Of a coun-
/ try's business i'm a given line, with
/ out the least effort TO obtain it, is
q fact that commends itself to the
careful consideration of all those
( whose wares are involved The pos
: sibilities 10 which such conditions
point when the war is over are full
! ly discussed in the report.
The author has outlined practical
methods of getting around the old
| difficulties in the way of selling
goods directly u Turkey, once the
war is over, and ne has described
the demand for the various articles
in detail. The nature of the COM
petition that may be expected in
each case is carefully pointed cut.

SOUTH BEND is ABOVE
AVERAGE IN BUILDING
ACTIVITY IN OCTOBER

With a loss Of - percent in es-
timated costs of building during
the month Of October, South Bend
stands well above the average Of
109 of the principal cities of the ma
zion. The average was a loss of IS
percent, although Wichita, Kans.,
had a gain of Col percent. and Lin
coin, Neb.. had a gain of 517 per
cent.
on the whole. however. building
over the 1850 has been consider
ably less dos October. 1917, than
during the same month in 1916. To
account for this, many theories
have been advanced. the principal
one being such that South Bend is
only slightly affected by it,
Experts say that the necessary
steel shapes for buildings are hard
30 get. because of the governm ent
taking priority in the steel orders.
Because it is so hard and so uncer-
tain a matter to set steel, building
has been lessened.
The past week in South Bend
saw very little building activity But
- permits were issued, and these
were for small amounts. The fact
that two factory permits were is
sued during the previous week kept
up the record, for until they We're
entered less than a dozen had ap-
piled for permission to build.
