CIRCUS is LEFT INTACT
Elephant TrampIed on constable's Hat
and Ate Attachment Papers.

The circus paraded and the happy
crowd lined the sidewalks in a town
near Youngstown, O. At the corner
stood the village constable directing
traffic. 1t was a great day until a
puff of wind tipped the constable's hat
under the elephants foot. Squash!
Injured official dignity sped the con
stable to the circus tent. He'd get re-
venge, by gum! He carried attachment
papers and laid them down near the
elephant, which he was going to at
tach. Then he went to hunt the keeper.
While he was gone the elephant ate
the papers.
And the circus left the town that
night.

New York is the second state in num-

With reference to prices, some
builders state that the last year of
stagnation in the building industry,
due to the war, only served to stimu-
late further the demand for all classes
of buildings, which would tend to keep
prices high. but they expect to resume
operations to meet the increasing de-
mand. Those who went into detail as
to the high cost of materials gave
brick as the principal item that was
high. Cement was named by the next

next and steel next but it is explained
that most of the projects do not re-

NATION IS GETTING BACK
TO PRE-WAR BUILDING
Big Deficiency Now Is Shown by
Estimate of Department
of Labor.

The building deficiency in the north
central states as a result of the war
is estimated by the United States De-
partment of Labor to be in the sum
of $1.511 100000. A recent survey of
building conditions in north Atlantic
states placed the deficiency in that
district at $1,000, 100000.
This estimate was arrived at by a
survey of the building permits issued
in the principal cities in each state in
pre-war years and during the war.
The total real estate valuation of
these cities was compared with the
total real estate valuation of the state
in which they were located. By ap-
plying the accepted theory that the
building permits of the cities will
bear the same ratio to the building
permits of the entire state as the real
estate valuations Of the cities bear to
the real estate valuations Of the state.
the building deficiency for the latter
was estimated with reasonable exact
ness.
In each Of these states building in
terests and real estate boards report
a shortage of residential property.
This deficiency must be made up in
addition to meeting the normal cur
rent needs in 1919. In view of this
IdCI bSpdT VI StdlS-
ment that the current year is likely
to prove one Of unprecedented build
ing activity seems to be fully justi-
fled. The latest reports on building
permits and contracts let indicate that
building construction work the coun-
try over rapidly is getting back to
pre-war figures. The new normal, how
ever, will be far ahead of pre-war fig
ures.
The rapidity with which building
and construction work is reviving, the
department states, indicates very
clearly that building interests are
convinced there is to be no material
reduction in construction costs for
heveral years. if at all. This conclu-
sion is inescapable in view of the
studies of market and labor condi-
tions recently made by economists in
the information and education service
of the United States Department of
Labor.

COOPERATION IS URGED
WITH NEGRO WORKERS
Compose One-Seventh of Working
Population and Welfare Is
Important.

To further solve labor problems in
volving colored workers it is the
belief of officials of the Department
of Labor that good will and CO.
operation between white employers,
workers and negroes will succeed.
The department during the war and
in the past few months of recon-
struction has formed cooperative
negro workers advisory committees
which leave local problems to local
committees free to make their own
decisions and to advise for carrying
efforts to increase the efficiency of
negro workers.
During the war a great deal was
done to assist the employment serv-
ice in recruiting and placing of
negro labor most effectively, and to
make certain that unemployed men
were found work as near home as
possible. Since the end of the war
these cooperative advisory commit
tees of white and colored people have
been helping to find work for demob-
ilized soldiers.
1t is the opinion of those interested
on behalf of the negro that. as
negroes TIMBER about one-seventh of
the working population. they should
have representation when matters are
discussed affecting their welfare.
Evening star., 1919-05-03

Given such representation. it is held.
the negro responds well to oppor-
tunites presented him.
In short. the aim of the negro eco
nomics work is to do away with
possible MISUNDERSTANDING preju-
dices, antagonisms and fears which
prevent amicable adjustment of re-
lations of white employers, negro
workers and white workers In order
that the productive capacity of
negroes may be utilized to the full
extent without danger to any interest
of the others.

MADISON, Wis. May 3.-Tests to

full, and if the results are fully follow
ed by manufacturers. 1t is declared,
there will be an end Of doors that sag

refuse to be closed, doors that creak
and shrek and groan whenever they

An indication that the people of this

There were 4,034 transfers recorded
during April. which is the largest total
for any month in the history of the
office. The transfers recorded on Thurs

record for one day.
March Record Heavy.
In March there were 3.209 transfers.
which at that time was the record for
any one month. In March. 1918, there
were 1887 transfers, which was believed
quite large. For the first three months
of this year there have been filed 1858

NEW PERIL TO U. S. SEEN
japanese Demands and Open

Senator Thomas OF Colorado delivered
the following address at the dinner Of
the Society OF Arts and Sciences at the
Pennsylvania Hotel last night:
You are all aware OF the fact that
1t is practically impossible to intelli-
gently discuss an issue like the one
which has brought US together in the
short space of half an hour, because
1t Is perhaps the mlghtiest problem
which has ever addressed itself to the
intelligence OF n great nation. It is far
too great a question to be limited to
tho confines OF partisanshlp. far too
great. perhaps. to be limited by the
geographical boundaries of any single
nation 1t is a proposition which in
wolves. as Victor Hugo said of the battle
OF Waterloo, change of front OF the
universe.
For my part, I have the highest re-
spect for the convictions and the views
OF those who advocate the proposed
League OF Nations. j am satisfied that
their motives are as lofty and their pur-
pose as exalted as my own, and re-
gret exceedingly that such a question
could be obscured for a moment by any
feeling OF passion or OF prejudice. These
lower the discussion and may perhaps
interfere with our more intelligent per-
ception of all it's details.
