and inspired when they hear the
President of the United States de-
livering the eulogy over the body ot
the unknown American dead to be
buried in the Arlington Ampitheatrc
on Armistice Day." says a message
of Representative Kahn to the Ma"
yor of San Francisco. Mr.. kahA
visited Arlington on Saturday last
and heard the telephone ampIliler 1t
work. :,
The Presidents funeral Grafton will
be heard by thousands in the grounds
around the ampitheatre, thousands III
New York. thousands in San Fran
cisco. BY the use of this voice ampll-
fer the time is fast approaching
when practically every large city IN
this country will be connected by wlre
to these telephoneic amplifers so TIA:
one and the same time, perhaps nan
the population of the United Statcs

chief executive as he addresses all
America on the important questions
that are before our people.
In spite of persistent rumors that
the Shipping Board is to be turned
over TO the Department of Commerce,
leaders of the House apparently have
no intention Of pressing the bill re-
Gently introduced by Representative
Sweet. of Iowa for that purpose.
While some members Of the House
and Senate are still grumbling over
conditions at the Board the general
attitude seems to be that the new
Board must be given opportunity TO
wrestle with it's problems awnie
longer before opinion is passed upon
its accomplishments or failures. Inc
members of the Board are now at
work upon statement showing tne
financial condition of the Organlza-
tion as we'll as report on the mum,
her of claims against the Boar@
which information has been asked by
Congress.
Real relief from the nationwide
housing shortage, which has been
called the country's highest barrier
against economic stability now is re-
ginning to appear. High rents with
in a few months should be matte"
only of history.
According to an ofiicial statement
of Secretary of Commerce Hoover
more than $4,000 residences and
apartments, were contracted for be-
tween Jan. l and Oct. l. in twenty
seven states in the north and east
ern sections Of the United States.
September contracts were numerically
greater than any September in his
tory, the statement showed. The be-
ginning of a nationwide boom in the
construction of buildings of all kinds
now in seen by government officials.
This means an end of the nationwide
housing shortage in houses unless
some unforeseen barrier raises itself.
The condition of former President
Woodrow Wilson, who suffered
slight setback during the past week
due to case Of indigestion IS not
such as to cause his friends any
alarm. according to DR.. Grayson, MS
physician. DR.. Grayson declared today
that his distinguished patient has al
most recovered from the attack OF IN
digestion, but upon his advice, Mr.
Wilson remained in bed on Sunday,
and it was thought best that he
should not receive Marshal Foch,
who called on Saturday to pay his re-
spects. An attack of Indigestion, Dr..
Grayson, explains. is nothing unusu-
al for Mr.. Wilson. He has been suffer-
ing from stomach trouble for years.
although the attacks have not been of
so frequent occurrence within the
last year or SO. But il is believed by
DR.. Grayson that the former occupant
of the White House will be able 70
resume his usual duties and take his
automobile rides through the country
within a very few days unless set
back takes place That is why he is
keeping Mr.. Wilson quite and away
from all cares and worries.
