COUNTRY WITHOUT CAPITAL

China is country It Cursed" with capitalism
and people live from h. 4 to mouth
In China there several hundred million peo-
pie and little accumulated capital So labor consumes
every day most of what it produces There is no
surplus stored up
Mechanics can't build labor saving machinery
unless these is an accumulation which they can
live while building it. If these is no accumulation
they must be out grubbing living out of the ground
A nation mustsave before it can get ahead.
If people consume their entire income they not
only are failing to protect themselves against
future rainy day, but they are retarding the pro-
gress of the whole country. We must save enough

TIE HOLE BUILDING CAMPAIGN

The home is the worlds greatest savings bank.
Industry and thrift are attributes of any man who
owns plot of ground and builds home on it.
Homes yield the highest interest Of any bank in
the world Besides being paying investment in a
financial way home creates greater earning
ability The home owner is citizen Of the
m'lty He is interested in seeing property value in
crease He is also better workman.
1t is estimated that one million new homes are
needed in the United States. All realize to some ex
tent how urgent is the need for more homes. Build
ing is delayed in the hope that soon labor conditions
will tecome more favorable.
Waiting for reduction in construction costs is
wasting time for prices of materials are not likely
to decline until there is reduction in wage scales.
Price Of building materials is made up of labor costs
plus the cost of raw materials Production and
transportation Of raw materials are labor items.
There can be no drop in selling prices without the
corresponding drop in production and transportation

THEORIES FAIL TO STAND

tncory that the package containing the

by some one who believed il contained
n bomb.
Thcy viii question John Dupre. valet
to Gurnec Mum. in an effort to find
out what happened to the necklace after
1t was delivered at the Mum home.
The detectives declare they have
traced the necklace from the time IL
left Tiffhny's in New York until II
reached the Mum home Mt Radnor. The
bullet which pierced the box contain
ing the necklace and shattered n valu-
able diamond was fred after the
package left the express company's
hands, they assert.
Mr.. Mum today characterized ms
ridiculous the theory his servants might
have fred on the package to foil O
bomb plot. .
The mystery which surrounds the
shooting was deepencd today when OIL :
cials Of the express company pointed
out circumstances which seemingly con :
flict with a theory advanced Tint the
shot was fred accidentally by an ex
press messenger.
Admitting that the calibrr Of the
bullet is the same as that carried by
our express messengers" said one,
there still remains the statement OF
the explosive expert that the bullet was
fired from distance of about seventy .
five feet. The express cars used on the
Radnor run and In the general service
are only sixty feet over all. and much
less inside. To accomplish this the
package must have been the target of O
pistol placed further than the extrem,
limits of the CIR would allow. When
it is borne in mind that the car is vir
tually filed with baggage and freight
with only ten or fifteen feet Of tota
clear space, the explanation becomes
more difficult.
"If the gun was fired or accidentally
discharged by one of our men the bullet
could not have travcrscd space O
more than ten or fifteen feet. Then
too, some Of these cars have partitions
and it Is possible one of these was OF
that run, although even disrcgardin,
this it is hard to believe such theory.
