with many of the wartime economies

the buying public as we'll as the mer-
chants have benefited by the restric-

A siX-hour working day in large re-
tail stores was one of the important
suggestions advanced by the speaker.
Hours from IL a. m. to 5 p m would
cut out unnecessary waste and make
for greater efficiency of employees, he
said. In addition mosc of the shopping

victed of grand larceny and sentenced
TO the city penitcntiary. In 1916 he was
convicted Of disordcrly conduct and sent
TO the workhouse Here he was again,
after three terms in prison. Before
arraignng him in court this time we
had him examined The doctors found
that his father had been intemperate
and tuberculous. The mother had been
"a hard working woman, but practically

MAY SEND MESSAGES BACK FROM
 SOUTH POLE PARTY
Explorations To Be ChrOnicled in London Within Few
 Hours AfterWard.

London, Sept. 1. Correspondence of The Associated Press .)-An air plane, lowering about the South Pole, may send back to London daily wire less advices relative to explorations or scientific researches by the South Pole expedition which is to be led by John l.. Cope next summer.
 The explorer, who has served as surgeon and biologist on previous south polar expeditions, believe the use of airplanes and wireelss in probing the solitudes of the icebound antarctic regions will lead to revela- tions that will make the trip more important, from a scientific point of view, than any previous explorations of the earth's under side"
 Although new difficulties will be created by the use of aircraft it is claimed the advantages to be obtain ed are so great as go be obvious to anyone acquainted with such research. It is proposed to equip the airplanes used with wireless apparatus having sending range of several hundred miles ensurng communication with the mother ship" of the expedition. From this ship sumaries of the air. planes exploits are to be flashed by more powerful instruments back to the civilized world.

There were twenty-tEVo permits issued for construction and remodel ing work valued at $33,975 during September. The largest individual piece of construction represented is the $ll 000 residence to be erected by J. F. Mcintyre in Park Place. There were four permits issued for work valued at 5000, and several for $3,000 and $2,000. The major ity of the permits called for small remodeling work however.
 The largest bit of construction work done during the month, pro- bably, was the improvements on the Pine Bluff Cotton Oil company, which, when completed, will cost about $100,000. Permit for this work is not included in the September total. The work included the concrete storage tanks, 31 feet in diameter and 72 feet heighth, and two auxiliary bins for seed with a total capacity of approximately half a million bushels. The cost of the concrete work alone will be ap- proximately $65 ,000. The Wither- oon-Englar company of Chicago has the contract for the concrete work J. E. Let's, of Chicago, is experimenting the work.

ADVANCE GUARD OF 1920 CENSUS FORCE
 IS GETTING ON JOB
Buildings Occupied by Aircraft Production Board Are
 Taken Over.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The advance ouard of the Census Bureau in Wash ington has swooped down upon the quarters of the Aircraft Production Section of the War Department and dispossessed that branch of the army of about half of the temporary build> ing it occupied during the war. It is the intention of the Aircraft section to surrender the entire building to the Census Bureau within few months
 The building, full city block square in it's dimensions, offers com modious quarters for the rapidly ex- banding clerical force of the Four teenth Decennial Census. It likewise offers excellent facilities for the in- stallation and operation of the many ingenious machines to be used by the Bureau of the Census in tabulating the statistics which will be gathered by the census enumerators during the month of January, 1920.
 More than 5000 packing boxes have already been provided for sending out copies of the census schedules and other supplies to the 85,0OO enumera- tors in the field. The first shipment of schedules is already in progress and the boxes now being sent out will be returned to the Census Bureau as rapidly as possible, thus keeping them in constant use.
 The dimensions of these boxes be- ing approximately 26x20x11 inches, simple and obvious computation shows that each box will come back to Washington packed with more than three cubic feet of statistical data.
 Many punching, sorting and tabu- lating machines are already set up in the new quarters of the bureau. Most of these machines are products of the mechanical laboratory of the Census Bureau and have been invented and manufactured solely for the purpose of performing the intricate and rapid work required in sorting and tabulat- ing the millions of punched cards upon which the facts and figures of the entire nation will be transcribed from the information gathered by the field force.
