Lie Is Passed.

In conclusion Mir. Gates said that Il bill was coming from the Senate that would also sink the Corpora ton Com mission to the depths of the sea-" He intimated that MT Wood was actuated in his opposition to the bill by the fact that a relative of his is member of the Corporation Commission. This brought Mir. Wood to his feet to de fend one, who, he said was not permit ted to defend himself, and he asserted that any charge that he was influenc- ed by relationship to a member of the Corporation Commission was "'a base and contemptible lie which he hurled back at the man who utters it." The incident went no further.
 The roll was then called and the bill passed, ayes 92, noes 1.-Arkansas Ga zette.

straus Comments.
Some uncertainty as to prices, as
well as unsettled labor conditions
in many places have tended to re-
tard building operations somewhat,
according to S. w. Straus & Co.
Notwithstanding this fact, there is
an encouraging amount of prospec-
tive building projects being report
ed by architects and builders, and
there is basis for the belief that
activities will gain momentum as
the season processes.
There continues to be great i'm
provement in the construction of
homes, particularly of the multi
family types. Measured in SQUARE
feet the total volume of new resi-
dences since the first of the wear
has been but slightly behind the
showing made during the same
period of 1920 when buading con-
ditions were at the heigM of their
activity. Comparison with the same
period in 1919 shows that during
the current year there has been
some gain in the actual amount of
new residential construction work,
While favorable showing has
been made so far this year in the
construction of homes, there has
been considerable less new build
ing OF mercantile and Industrial
types than during the same period
of 1919 and 1920. In the total
amount of new buildings there has
been slight gain over 1919, but a
considerable loss over the 1aeo
showing. The period since the first
OF the year has witnessed the in
vestmeDt of more money in build
mugs Of all types than the average
for the same period during the last
ten years.
Notwithstanding the amount of
money now being invested in new
buildings the actual shortage is not
growing less acute. for while we
are making a better showing In the
matter OF new homes we are slip
ping nehind in tho construction of
commercial buildings.

WILL GIVE TALK
BEFORE REALTORS
Secretary of Commerce Will
Address National Con.
vention.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover
will address the annual convention
of the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards at the opening ses-
sion. July Il. in Chicago. it was
learned yesterday.
The invitation was extended to
him recently in by Fred 4. Taylor
of Portland, Greg, president of the
association, on the occasion of the
latter's visit to Washington. Ac-
companying Mr.. Taylor were Ivan
o. Ackley. of Chicago, chairman of
the convention committee; Henry p.
Haas, of Pittsburgh. national sec
retary, and Robert B. Armstrong,
of tbs city, head of the Bureau
realtors body.
Secretary Hoover assured the real
estate men that he would attend
the convention on the opening day
unless prevented by some national
crisis or unforeseen emergency.
Interest naturally attaching to an
address by a member of President
Harding's Cabinet is increased in
the present instance by the fact
that Mr.. Hoover is close stu
dent of real estate and housing.
He recently appointed a commits
sion to investigate means for gath
ering and disse minating informa-
ton as to best construction prac-
tices and methods, technical costs,
matters relating to city planning.
etc, with the purpose of encour-
aging Standardization and improve
ment of building.
A large delegation from the
Washington real estate board is ex-
pected to go to Chicago for the
convention. Many members of the
board will take their wives and
other members of their families
with them. Several are consider
ing combining business and pleas
ure by going to Buffalo and Nj
agara Falls and competing the trip
to Chicago by boat on the Great

Zinc Oxide in Right
Percentage Helps Paint

Property owners can improve the
appearance of homes and other
buildings by demanding the use OF
from 80 to so per cent Of zinc oxide
in the paint pigment. This material
increases the life of both exterior
and Interior coatings. insures last
ing luster and prevents fading.
Paint which includes the proper
proportion of zinc in the pigment
mixture better inds its way into the
pores Of the surface and thus af-
fords excellent protection against
