CONGRATULATIONS LETTER
CITY Should Be Proud Of Frank Nc
Donald and His Enterprises,


Frank Mcdonald, head of the Red
of his business career in Chattanooga.
has recently received a number of con-
gratulatory letters. Here is sample
of those coming in:
Atlanta. Ga. July II, 1919.
Mr.. Frank Mcdonald, 14S Market Street.
Chattanooga. Tenn.
MY Dear Mr.. McDonald-Upon my
return here today, having been away
for some little time. l find some Chat
tanooGa papers kindly sent ME by Mr.
Lawton, and these papers feature your
organization and establishment very
attractively.
AS a general thing. I know, on any
and all anniversaries it is in order for
us to extend our congratulations, and
while l do most sincerely congratulate
you on the progress made, yet it seems
to me in looking over this whole propo-
sition that Chattanooga should be con-
graduated fully as much as Mr., Nc
Donald should be. and have no doubt
but what Chattanooga citizens who
have appreciated the advantages ac-
corded them by the Red Stores, and
hive shown their appreciation by their
patronage, have very often congratu-
lated themselves that the Red Stores
are an institution in Chattanooga.
Sincerely hoping that you will see
very many happy returns of the day
and that your prosperity in the future
will be even greater than the past,
am very cordially yours,
TT D. BODV
District Manager Southeastern Divi-
sin,, "

More than $4,000 people thronged
the National league baseball park
Sunday and Irish tears blended with
Irish cheers in a thirty-one minutes
demonstration that greeted DE Va

De Valera made n plea against the
league of nations, declaring II Con

the Irish republic by the United
States. Mention of the names of
Sir Edward Carson and Lloyd George
brought Kisses. while the name Of
President Wilson was cheered.
What want to speak to you
about" said De Valera, "is Article Y
of the covenant of the league of ma
lions. That article, IL the treaty is
accepted in its present form, means
for MS that we are to be cut off from
the sympathy and moral support of
friendly nations. We are here to ask
you not to do that act of injustice
to Ireland; we ask you to make rep

by DIR. Harold Major. pastor OF the

further that, speaking as an Ameri-

afternoons. He declared further that
ii is the duty of the municipal gov
eminent to provide for its constit-
uents necessary amusements and rec

a person needed these things in his
life to be a man.
In speaking further on the observ-
ance of the Sabbath DIR. Major said
he thought the Christian men and
women are Directing more than
anything else to the commercializing
of the Sabbath. For this reason, he
said. IL Is the duty Of the Christian
people to do everything in their

brought out that the public opinion

emphasized the importance OF one

that the Sabbath is a day in which

ROOFS BEING CARED FOR
Campaign to Clean Up for Sum-
mer Extends to Repairs
of All Sorts.

In the course of the cleanup and
paint-up movement, which is now pro-
ducing good results in many towns and
cities, repairs of all sorts have been
brought about The householder who
looked over his property early in the
spring with view of merely removing
rubbish from back yards and alleys
found that there was much to be done,
and as a result of recent experiences in
war economics has been inclined to
study methods Of saving.
One Of the interesting features of the
"paint-up'' activities has been unusual
care in choosing colors. Since the end
ing OF the war a wide scale of colOrs is
again offered and more attention than
at any previous time has been paid to
general effect. Roofs have been recog-
nized as important in the color schemes,
artistic results being obtained by the
use Of paint in harmoniZing or contrast
ing hues.
AS a matter of conservation in the
cleanup and paint-up campaigns the
repair of roofs has been studied and
various methods have been employed to
prevent the expense and labor of re-
placing wooden shingles. Preparations
are now commonly employed, for they
have the advantage of recommending
themselves to fire insurance companies,
and they are inexpensive. In several
cities the slogan Save the wooden
shingles" has been in orporated with
the regular paint up and clean up
watchwords.

LOT OWNERS BLAMED
Much Unimproved Property Given
as Reason for Shortage
of Houses.

Owners of unimproved lots in Amer
lean cities have suddenly found them
selves more or less accountable fer
the shortage Of houses now so acute
in all parts of the country.
According to reports received by the
Department Of Labor from Kenosha,
Wis, the various city committees,
which are working with the commit
tees from the local chamber Of COM
merce and the manufacturers asso-
citation, recently held q conference in
the mayors ONCE at which a plan to
encourage building on vacant prop
erty was freely discussed. 1t was es-
tihted that at least 500 unimproved
lots could be found on streets with
water supply and sewer connections.
To convince the owners OF these lots
that 1t Is their civic duty to build
was decided to be the first logical eff
fort. In cases where lack of money
suggestion was made that q way to
finance these owners should be found
Wherever property holders desired to
sell at first prices, the purchase of
lots was suggested as part Of the gen.
eral housing plan.
In addition to their interest in pres
emit conditions citizens Of Kenosha
recognise the opportunity to work out
an ambitious general plan for the
Improvement Of their city. which Is
beautifully situated and already pos
sesses many interesting structures. 1t
10 this recognition OF future possibili-
ties that may mean much to the
United States at this time when the
return of hundreds of thousands of
soldiers from the old world assures a
better appreciation of artistic ideals
and affords a broader perspective than
has ever been presented to great
numbers of Americans.

COUNTRY IS ORGANIZED
FOR BUILDING CAMPAIGN

One hundred cities are now cooper
ating in the n-your-own- home cam
paign Of the United States Department
Of Labor. This campaign. begun three
months ago, has spread steadily until
every state in the union has been
reached. In addition to the cities in
which the own-your-own-ho home move
ment has been we'll started, there are
nearly 400 that are preparing to stimu-
late building systematically.
For the purpose Of conducting the
own your-own- home campaign in the
most thorough manner the country has
been divided into ten districts, with a
regional director for each district.
In promoting the campaign the pur-
pose is, first, to remedy housing short
ages where such condition actually ex-
lists; second, to collect all possible in
formation on present conditions affect
ing building; and, third. to stimulate the
home-ownership idea. not spasmodically,
but SO it may become a permanent part

FIGURES SHOW BUILDING
IS RAPIDLY ADVANCING

All available statistics point to the
fact that building is now well under
way, states Building Age. The latest
figures received direct from city build
ing departments throughout the country
show that the estimated money value for
plans filed during April. 1919, is "a per
cent greater than for April. 1918. The
total estimated value Is SIS, 800, 25S, as
against $48,007,171. This is by far the
largest increase reported this year.
That this prosperity is widespread is
shown by the fact that out Of ITO cities
reporting. 1879 show gains, as against
only 81 showing losses. This is decidedly
encouraging.
Middle state cities show the largest
gain, 100 per cent. Southern cities are
next with 81 per cent gain. Eastern
cities show 81 per cent gain, and west
ern cities IS per cent.
