q. S. SENATOR CALDER
ADVOCATES BUILDING
Declares Construction Is Essential
Before Normal Conditions Can
Be Restored.

Construction is an essential in
dustry and, therefore. prerequi-
site to all normal business develop
ment," declared Senator William A.
Calder of New York, in an address
before the recent meeting of the Ma
tioanl Federation of Construction
Industries at Atlantic City.
The increasing shortage of build
ings of all types, he pointed out,
constitutes a potential demand for
construction. Such adverse cOndi-
tiOns as the cost of labor and mate
rials and the timidity of investment
capital are offset, he believed, by
the necessity for immediate housing
for large percentage Of the pOpu-
lation who are suffering not only
by the high cost of living induced
by the building shortage but also
in efficiency and morale, and by the
encouragement which the govern
ment is giving building.
Government construction, hOWev-
er, the senator said, alone can con-
stitute but small proportion OF
normal building and will not bring
the industry back to its usual pO-
sition in the life of the community.
1t is necessary, he asserted, to en-
courage private building, which, as
rapidly as possible, shall take over
surplus labor and material and es-
tablish the industry on a sound
economic basis.
Senator Calder declared that at
present there is little or no shortage
of labor, and he warned his hearers
that the country will remain in a
state of arrested development UNI
less the building industry not only
resumes normal activity but also in
the next two or three years pro-
duces an additional amount Of con-
struction equal to that which has
been deferred during the war.
The division Of public works and
construction development has been
formed in the department of labor
to assist in the revival Of building.

JUST AS You MAKE IT.

Life is just a constant grind.
Ii you wish to make it SO;
All the breezes are unkind.
Ii you grumble while they blow.
Every hill is bleak and drear,
Not q song bird that you hear
Ever sounds a note to cheer
If your wear the mask of woe.
Life is triumph, life is joy.
If you wish to make it SO;
Why let the little ills annoy?
Toss them off and let them go.
All the woods with glee may ring;
Every season may be Spring.
II you have the heart to fling
Laughter in the teeth of woe.

AMBER FORMED BENEATH SEA
Natural Resin of Pines Turned Into
Precious Material by the Action
of the Elements.

The worlds supply of amber, that
rare and therefore precious substance,
the gold of the NORTH" as it has been
called, comes from the coast of Sam
land in the eastern Prussian penin-
sula, between the towns of BurstrOrt
and PalmniCken, and here the shafts
of famous mine run out under the
Baltic and the miners are actually
working under water. Ages ago the
country was a land of pine forests
which the ocean overwhelmed; the
pine trees vanished beneath the sur
face of the sea, and then, century by
century, the wood became fosSilized
and the natural resin of the pines was
turned into amber. Millions of years
were needed to transform the resin
into amber, and the search for amber
has developed romantic and picturesque
episodes like those that have become
part and parcel of the story of gold
and diamonds. An amber mine, how
ever, is not necessarily under water,
and there is an open-air mine at Palm
nicken where amber is dug for in much
the same way as diamonds are sought
in the mines of Kimberley. In nor
NAL times this one mine provides oc-
cupation for about 5000 amber
seekers.

CUTS RARLEYS BEARD
Professor Performs Feat OF
Benefit to Farmers.
University of Alberta AeronomIsts
Remove the Barb From
Whiskers of Grain.

Edmonton, Notwithstanding the
beard of barley is the accomplishment
claimed by the agrOnOmists at the
University of Alberta this summer.
Specifically what they did was to at
tempt to remove the beard altogether,
succeeding only in taking the barb
out of the beard. This, it was de-
clared, is of immense potential agrl-
cultural benefit. ~
1t is the barb in Barley that makes
all the trouble in handling and feed
ing the grain, it is said, and unsuc-
cessful efforts have been made for
years both in Canada and the United
States. to remove the beard. But with
the barb gone the experts say the
beard doesn't particularly matter.
If the claims made for the improved
barley are borne out authorities hold
it may become a staple variety OF
western Canada. Two varieties OF
barley are grown in Alberta-the two
rowed and six-rOwed. The former is
used for beer-making, but siX-rowed
barley is the chief crop of central
Alberta for feeding purposes. 1t is
sure crop, favored in mixed farming
regions, and yields from 40 to 81
bushels to the acre.

Bees Raid a Jam Factory.

Syracuse, N. Y.-While Norris s.
Daley was removing honey from the
hives at his apiaries on his farm in
Penn Van, a village a few miles from
this city. he discovered that the sweet
was pink in color. Upon investigation
he found that instead of honey, it was
raspberry jam. The bees had carried
the jam from a preserving plant about
mile from the Daley farm. The
seeds were absent from the jam.
Swarms of bees and hornets have in
vaded the plant several times this sum-
mer, driving the operators out of the
factory and carrying the jam from
the uncovered Jars.

DRUG OF MARVELLOUS POWER
Bayard TayIor's Description of Sensa'
tions Under the influence of
Hashish Is a Classic.

Hashish may be reckoned one of
the most classic of all intOXicants.
HerOdotuS, the "Father of History
speaks of its use among the ancient
Scythians, and it was doubtless the
drug referred to by Homer as "the
assuager of grief" in the house of
Menelaus. Bayard Tayor's account
of his sensations on first taking it at
Damascus is memorable. 1t put him
in a state of mental eXaltation where
in all sensations as they arose sug-
gested more or less coherent images
in a double form, one physical, the
other spiritual, and the latter reveal
ing itself in a series Of indeScribably
brilliant metaphors. A few minutes
after taking the drug he found him
self at the foot of the Great Pyramid.
A wish instantly transported him to
its summit, Far above III" palm groves

HAVE SIMILAR FINGER MAR,
Important Discovery Made by Cali
fornia Professor as to Peculiarities
of Family Groups.

Prof. J. A. Larson, instructor OF
physiology in the University of call
fornia, announced new discovery III
connection with finger prints which is
likely to have remarkable influence
on many important cases that con-
Germ the law courts of California.
Briefly, Professor Larson's discovery
indicates that similarity of finger
prints among members of a family Is
sufficiently marked to enable scientists
to trace family groups and determine
positively whether given individual
is really a member of the family to
which he claims relationship.
The Importance of the discovery In
probate cases such as the Slingsby case
is obvious.
Should DIR. Larson's new discovery
be accepted BY law and science, the
Slingsby decision may be reversed, as
we'll as many other analogous cases.
DIR. Larson's investigations began in
1913 at the Boston university.
"Since that time l have examined
prints of members of approximately
100 families" he said, land L am salts
fed in my own mind that such a
means of Identification is possible.
am preparing detailed reports of my
work now in order that science may
be benefited by my discovery. Before
I complete this, however, expect to
investigate the prints Of fifteen or
twenty additional families so as to re.
move all doubt as to the accuracy OF
my discovery."-San Francisco Chron'

Famous Regiment Expects
to Be Sent to Siberia

Chicago, Sept. IA recruiting
campaign to add 1000 men to the
10Th United States infantry, now in
progress, is to be the first time
regular army unit ever has been
given permission to recruit its own
men. Authorization for the under
taking was given by Major General
Leonard Wood, Commanding the
Central division, U. S. A. The large
number needed for the regiment is
ascribed to losses of men used in
requirements and discharge of Sc
lective service men and others by
reason of expiration of enlistment
terms or expiration of the war.
Although there is no definite in
formation, officers Of the 10th are
looking forward confidently to serv-
ice soon in Siberia, China, the Phil
ippines or on the Mexican border.
The regiment has a record of % bat
tie engagements, 1t was organized
in 1861 at the direction of President
Lincoln, fought in some of the
bloodiest battles of the civil war and
at its close was a part of the army

During the 1917 Automobile show,
Omaha dealers were introduced to
Charles A. Tucker of Lincoln, Neb.,
who had just started as distributor
of automobiles in the south Platte
Lterritory.
Mr.. Tucker was, known to many
of the dealers as one OF the best
shoe salesman in the state. Prior
to his entering the automobile BUSH
ness Tucker represented the Brown
Shoe company of St. Louis N a
large portion of Nebraska and his
acquaintance with the territory and
his possibilities formed stepping
stones in his success as distributor
for automobiles.
Shortly after establishing himself
in Lincoln, Tucker succeeded in get
ting the Oldsmobile contract for
Nebraska and portion Of Iowa.
Later he was given the entire Iowa
territory.
The Olismobile business in this
territory both on passenger cars
and trucks has reached such huge
proportions that the Nebraska Olds-

as one of the largest distributors of
Oldsmobile products in the United
