In parlous times like these one hears

ital to take advantage Of the decline
by speculatng on the short side. One
of the Streets favorite operators, who
is always credited with either making
or losing a million OF two. is saiu,

Reconstruction Unit Has Now
 Ended Work

Paris, Oct. z7.-The Harvard recon srruction unit which came to France in July has completed its work in the devastated regions and many of its members have returned to America. Considerable work was accomplished { by the organization which consisted of 25 persons. The American archi- tects planned an entirely new town to take the place of Boureuilles and a new site has been selected. This plan was drawn up by Hale Walker of Carthagena, O., George Lee of Boston and Priptiss French of Williamstown. Mass. The new town plan has re- ceived the enthusiastic approval of the mayor.
 A number of the members of the mission who were living at Cher mont-en-Argonne close to the point where America made it's most success full effort in the war, completed a new survey and | map ma of that village: in, o5as Ihls of Philadelphia. Joseph Hayner of Cleveland, Rupert Giddings of New York and Thomas Wilder of Cincin- natl
 While engineers were making the survey, six members of the unit in- traced property maps of the district cluding Richard Sias, of Corona. Cal. 7 and Frederick Blaine of Elydia, O., which survived from the war.
 Two schools have been designed and measurements of the church or Saint Jacques at Rheims have been underIthe direction of Isadore Rich- mond, of Boston and Myron Dassett, of Minneapolis. At Somme-Py, Hale Walker cooperated with the town architect in making changes in the town plan itself while Merritt Farren and Leon Reach. both of Boston, com- pleted drawings and plans for a new town school.
