ton Of the restoration of international

Lord Hugh Cecil and other members
also criticized the governments plans
as mere pailiatives.
Mr.. Lloyd George agreed that the
government scheme was OF temporary,
palliative character to relieve imme-
diate distress He contended that un-
employment was the inevitable SEQUEL
OF the great war and was not confined
to England. On the contrary, it. was
to be found in almost every country,
Including the United States, with the
possible exception OF France.
Inc reason France was exempt vas
because she was restoring the devastat-
ed areas az enormous expense Nobody
could expect that trade would be pros
porous Two years after terribly de-
s'ructlYe war. Europe could partly feed
nefsef, but could not pay ner way
except by creating money by the thou
sand millions.

was to restore trade, and if the scheme

Doubts League Without Nay

The moment that Britains naval su-
premacy Is questioned she shows little
faith in the League Of Nations. The
Globe, which believes n stating its
views plainly, reviews in an editorial
article headed "AmerIcan Dope' the
steps leading UP TO the formation of
the league aud then draws this deduc-
ton:
What t amounts to is that the ma
tions of the world n generai and Great
Brita u in particular have been doped
into the belief that the burden OF arma
ments is to be removed. while Aneri-
cans have carefully avoided swallowing
any of the narcotic tn nse.ves.
Pres dent Wilson, who handed out
this dope to Us himself, secured the
adoption by Congress Of tie naval APP
nropriation &C, which authorizes naval
construction in the United States TO
he tune OF something like $4,000, 900
pounds sterling. That IS very much

NECESSITY FOR CAREFUL
CHIMNEY CONSTRUCTION

The charred remains of one years
fires in the United States would line
both sides of a highway 1000 miles
long, and yet so per cent of this is
preventable, says a recent issue of
the bulletin of the state fire marshal
of Minnesota.
/ A summary of the fire causes in va
rious states shows that fires attribu-
table to chimneys amount annually to
from 10 per cent to 26 per cent of the
total number, and in winter the per-
centage has reached as high as so.
Chimneys should not be built on
brackets, it is declared. They Should
extend a sufficient distance above the
roof, their walls should be at least
eight inches thick, flues should not
be less. than siXty-four square inches
the flue holes should never be filled
with inflammable material, and good
f1ue Innings of fire clay or terra Gotta
should be provided. The cost of such
lining in an ordinary two-story resi-
dence would be nominal
With the present tremendous de-
mand for new buildings and the con-
sequent speeding up of work. espe-
cial care should be taken to prevent

MAY CHECK HIGH COST
OF BUILDING MATERIAL
Belgian Steel, Canadian Brick and
Western Lumber Threaten
to Be Factors.

Belgian structural steel. Canadian
brick and lumber from the Pacific
coast begin to loom up as possible
agencies that will halt the headlong
rush toward higher building material
prices in most of the eastern seaboard
cities. according to the Dow Service
Daily Building Reports.
1t is stated representatives of Bel
gian steel mills have been in New
York city for some time and have
talked with building contractors. and
CanaHan business men have also been
IN that city since the first of the year
arranging for shipments of Canadian
brick. An appeal is also being made
to levy heavier demands upon Pacific
lumber resources to offset the scarcity
of material and continuing high prices
OF certain kinds of lumber.
In the latter case. however, condi-
TONS of transportation and trade linn
ltations, it is declared, make the pos
sibility of general substitution of Pa
cif1c coast lumber somewhat visionary.
according to lumber interests in the
east, whereas in the case of Belgian
structural steel and Canadian brick
actual arrangements are in progress
toward making the innovation a
reality.

he didn't go far before he smelled a

scent left by the feet of a rat. Right
away Billy forgot everything but the
fun of hunting, the game of hide-and-

of being caught. He started out along
the trail of that rat. BY and by, way
down under some boxes, he came to
a nest. 1t was made OF old rags
torn paper and other bits of rubbish.
Billy didn't knock to find out if any
one was at home. No. indeed, Billy
didn't knock He just popped his
