Public Work., industrial buildings and
public utilities are beng con9t. ucted
much faster than residences. and are
.ess affected by high prices, high wages
and shortage of material.
Contracts awarded Tor residential
buildings in the first three months
this year vary from ID OF 20 percent
Of the total building contracts in diff
ferent sections of the country. Nor
mally residences account for about 80
percent Of the contracts. and in view
Of existing needs, the review says,
residences Should represent about 40
percent of the total construction
: In New York STATE and northern
New Jersey 4 percent of the contracts
in the first quarter Of the year re-
presented residential buildings. "a mat
ter of serious concern" says the re-
view, as it is probable that the hous-
ing shortage is more acute in this
territory than anywhere else.
Iii the territory cast of the Missouri
river and north of the Ohio residential
construction was 10 percent of the to-
tai, in New England % percent, in the

few years the sculptor resided IN
Italy. Between the years 1877 and
1885 he modelled monuments figures
and groups for public buildings in
Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston, and
other cities. Another of his works is

now The stupid, stubborn. solid
backward south and Vermont and
connecticut are The only states which

The rise in the p-iee of gasolene

several million dollars. A thrifty
Swiss engineer says that Americans
waste from ten to fifty per cent of the

engine can be run to do the same
anlS unit of work on less gas. Using
too rich mixture is a common fault
of two thirds 'of the amateur drivers.
Leaving the motor running while the

lessness. Failing to take advantage
of down hill roads is almost universal
Leakage aud waste are not considered

UNDERSIRABLES
 ARE NOT WELCOME

London, April 5.-Large numbers of German and other undesirables who were deported from England in the war have managed to make their way back to London but have en- countered warm receptions when their identity has been discovered. They managed to cross from the con tfnent by working their way as sailors on tramp steamers to northern Eng fish and Scottish ports.
 These Germans who have come back to England to take up business again find it hard row to hoe, says business man gave it up and returned , to his Fatherland after being refused admission to five London hotels. He found rooms in a Bloomsbury board ing house but two days later the other boarders discovered him, and notified the manager they could not live under the same roof with a, Ger ! man; and he was turned out. A German butcher in a Londor l suburb was prevented by his neigh bors from reopening his old store the | other day although he had lived il
 England for 40 years, and there art
 many similar cases.
 i Neither captain nor crew of thu
 steamer Spica, the first German car go ship to enter the Firth of F'ort1
 since August, 1914, were allowet
 ashore at Methil and, in deference t
 local feeling, the vessel did not dis 1 play the German flag.
