Part in Sennett Comedy.
A new comedian makes his debut
in the new Paramount-Mack Sennett
comedy, The Gingham Girl which
will be shown at the Alta theater to-
day. The new actor is a member of
the "auack'' family, but he has shown
marvellous histrionic talent.
In this picture the swimming bird
plays the role of Louise Fazenda's s
trained duck. and in that capacity he
does some stunts that will make any
audience howl with laughter. But
shall we give the duck all the credit
James Davis, who directed the COM
edy, says it is no cinch to make duck
act, but it can be said for Mr.. Davis
that he has succeeded admirably in
this instance.

COSTS MORE DAILY FOR
PRODUCTION OF LUMBER
Wages, Transportation. Logging and
Stumpage Blamed for Constantly
Increasing Prices.

In 1913 mems wages In the lumber
industry were S2S to S32 per month:
in 1919 they were $40 to SS5 per
board and housing). according to the
New Brunswick Lumbermen's Asso-
citation in accounting for the high
cost of lumber. as quoted by the
United States consul at New Bruins
wick In daily commerce reports OF
the bureau OF foreign and domestic
commerce.
"In 1915" the article continues.
"stumpage was $3.50 and mileage IS:
today we pay $3.50 stumpage. IS mile
age and $500 per mile for fire pro-
lection; also we have workmens COM
rafting, milling and loading with q
separate rate on each, and this still
further adds to the cost; in addition,
we have the heavy business Dominion
war tax"
The cost of the principal supplies
that enter into logging operation
has increased on an average of more
than 100 per cent in 1920. as compared
With 1910. ms Is true Oi
which advanced from $4.90 in 1913 to
$11.20 in 1920. and of many other food
articles; of hay and oats, as well as
of axes, saws and other similar equip
ment.
The logging engineer for one Of the
Montana districts Of the forest serv-
ice, as the result Of an Investigation
in the larger band mills of the dis
trict, shows in detailed figures why
manufactured lumber sells at $40 a
thousand feet or more though the
timber Is bought on the stump for
from 50 to S5 a thousand. His report
indicates That after the timber has
been purchased on the stump at 81
to s5 per thousand. logging operations
cost S14 to $50 a thousand. From the
pond to the cars, including the manu-
facture of the rough lumber, the costs
are $11 to SIG a thousand, these fig
ures being based on records from
mills saving 100000 feet of tim
Der during the season of 1919.

NO DECREASE SEEN in
BUILDING, SAYS STRAUS

Commenting on the building situa-
tion, S. w. Strauss, of S. w. Strauss
& Co., says:
Lack of transportation facilities,
freight embargoes, and the car short
age comprises the principal deterring
influences in the building situation
In the country at present. builders
and architects generally are able to
find labor to do the work, and they
are able to purchase reasonable
amount of material. but they find
themselves seriously handicapped in
transporting materials from the
plants or.yards of the manufacturer
to the site of the operation.
"a tremendous congestion OF
freight is reported along all i'm
portant transportation lines, which
1t will take some weeks at least un-
der the most favorable circumstances
to clear up. Moreover, there is no
immediate likelihood of relief for the
car shortage as the depleted supply
cannot be quickly restored. Mid
summer is upon us, and with all
the adverse factors referred to, one
cannot feel that the present building
season will witness any great reduc-
tion in. the housing shortage of the
country as a result of a slowing up
process which has been brought about
through factors entirely foreign to
the building industry.

unfortunate billiard player who was
condemned to play ION a cloth un-
true, with a twisted cue and elliptical
billiard balls"
II is believed. however. that the
Senate committee will carefully weigh
the presentation OF the various phases
OF the matters which influence the
construction of the nation, that II
does not favor housing subsidy or
a national housing program.
1t Is the hope of the optimists or
the construction industry that the
present necessity may greatly ad-
vance the Standardization Of mater
ials used in construction, so that
costs may be reduced through guam
tity of. production and speedy as
sembly. After all necessity Is the
mother Of invention. and the con-
struction industry is just commencing
to learn what 1t can accomplish
through Standardization.

Leaders Of Building Industry
Hopeful OF Obtaining Govern
mental Aid on Problems.

The presidents and secretaries OF
the fifty odd associations aniliated
with the National Federation of Con-
struction Industries met at the Union
League Club. Philadelphia. at noon,
Thursday, to arrange for the prepara-
tion Of statements to be submitted TO
the United states Senate Special Com
mittee on Reconstruction and Produc-
tion, which has recently been ap-
pointed and is particularly charged
with the fostering and stimulating Of
construction work OF all kinds.
There is growing feeling OF con
ndence in the work OF this Senate
committee among those engaged in
the construction Industry, those deal
ing In real estate, as well as among
housing and labor experts. for the
reason that the chairman Of the com
mittee, Senator William NJ. Calder OF
New York. Is not only a practical
builder. but has a thorough knowl-
edge OF the economic conditions sur
rounding the industry, as well as OF
the national problems with which the
industry must synchronize.
TO GIVE EXACT IMPORTATION.
1t is the hope of the federation and
of its AFFILIATED bodies to thus briefly
and clearly indicate TO the Senate
committee the existing situation In
each OF the building trades, so called.
TO compare the potential capacity OF
each with the present quantity of its
output, TO compare the prices of the
products OF each with the prices of
general commodities, and to draw the
attention of the Senate committee to
the great influence OF the factor OF
uncertainty which is now so serious
ly affecting costs and quantity of
production. as well as making for un-
certainty OF delivery and speculation
as to future delivery. .
1t is believed by, many that this
item of uncertainty is one of the
largest items entering into the cost
of construction at the present time.
NEED FOR CAPITAL.
1t Is very evident that the construc-
tion industry cannot function at all
without. capital. transportation. fuel,
and labor. II is equally evident that
the greater the supply of these nee
sssary elements the more speedy will
be the completion and the less the
costs and, the lower the rentals.
/. The recent action of the Federal
Reserve Board in the curtailments of
credit is being interpreted by many
member banks as a further curtail-
ment Of loans on construction, but
the usury laws already prevent bid
ding by the construction industry of
interest rates in competition with the
consumables and luNuries of COM
merce. On the other hand, rent-reg
ulating laws make housing less and
less attractive to capital, and as
money goes where It makes friends,
which the housing shortage is accu-
mulating.
Relief can only come through the
cooperation of the transportation.
financial, and labor groups, and there
are those who now venture to state
that IL cannot be realized unless new
is. exempted from taxa
tion for a period of years.
