 Brought Packages
 One "neighbor to the poor" who left no name, brought several pack ages because he said he knew by experience what being up againsi it' meant, For once he had been hungry: once he had been cold once the whole world seemed as though it had turned it's back upon him-and he never forgot what he thought nor what he felt.
 So many contributors have written, T wish I could send more," and one man, when asked to help, took from his pocket all the money he had -$1.0S and gave it without hesita- tion.
 Whatever you are sending, get it In as early as you can. However, if it arrives late. 1t will reach its des- tihation anyway.
 Particularly, if you know of job man might get, let The Age Herald know It doesn't matter if it's an ut-of-town job. There are those who will be eager to take it.

Government Building Com plted and Received by John D. McNeel, Custodian-WiIl Be Ready for Occupancy October 1


 John D. McNeel, collector of in- ternal revenue and custodian of gov ernment buildings, officially took charge of the new federal building on Fifth avenue, between Nineteenth and Eighteenth streets, yesterday afternoon, receiving it from J. M. Geary, supervisor of construction for the government, in whose charge it has been since the construction started on May ', 1917.
 The building is now complete in every detail, and ready for occupancy by the Birmingham post office, the officials of the north Alabama dis trict of the, federal court, and the soon as sufficient furnishings arrive the transfer will be made from the old federal building on the corner of Eighteenth street and Second avenue,
 The new building was constructed at cost of more than $1,s5O,000, which is about s425,000 in excess ot the contract price, and loss of that amount to the Charles McCaul com pany, the contractors for the building. The contractors have struggled against unprecedented hardships in the way of construction ever since the building was begun in 1917, and it Is due to this fact that a delay oI about two years longer than the time in which it was expected that the building would be completed was brought about.
 Change of Plans
 It was first planned to erect the building of structural steel, but due to the advance price of steel during the war and the inability to get prompt deliveries, change was made to reinforced concrete on June IS, 1917. This change neces sitated a delay of about nine months time, while new drawings were made.
 Further hardships to the contrac tors continued all during the period of the war and during the unsettled labor conditions which followed.
 The exterior of the building is of Georgia marblg and the interior of marble from Gant's Quarry. Weeks and Weeks, architects of Cleveland, O., declared that the building ma terial is the finest example of Geor- gia marble in the country, and were so pleased with it that the same ma terial will be used in the construc- tion of the new $5oOo,O0 federal re- serve bank building in Cleveland.
 The woodwork is Mexican mahog- any, and all exposed metal work Is of bronze.
 Heads of Departments
 Construction of the building has been under the direction of J. M. Geary. governmental superintendent of construction. J. M Albright, manager of the Charles McCaul com pany, has been actively in charge of erecting the building, with A. J. Burner, assistant superintendent, Fred w. Leimer, building superin- tendent, and V. P. Lofts. clerk of the works. The mechanical equip ment has been installed by H.. du Moulin, with Otto W. Lindburg me- chanical contractor. Leonard l.. Bostick has been representing the surety company during the erection of the building.
 No definite date has been set for moving into the new building. due to the fact that the furniture for the building has been coming in in smal. shipments but it is expected that all departments will move on October |.

London, Oct. Is. = Insurance
against outbreak of war between the
United States and Japan on or be-
fore December 81, 1922, was effected
in the London market yesterday at
rate equivalent to odds of about
1o to against the risk, according to

Times adds, providing for the pay
ment of the total loss in case that
even part or the whole of the west
Indies is transferred to the United

part payment of our debts On or be-
fore December 81, 1922"

LOUer Movie Prices

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Vampire pic
lures are no longer in demand with
the public and the Theda Baras have
lad their day. Also the dear public
demands lower prices. 1t wants bet
ter pictures and is not paying fancy
prices for elaborate furnishings in
theaters. These and other matters
are to be taken up by the Associated
First National Exhibitors.
One hundred and fifty delegates
will represent the $500 members OF
the organization. Censorship will
come in for general parning. The
exhibitors chafe under censorship, as
applied in various states. A picture
which passes muster in one state is
barred in another, and this works
a hardship.
Another problem is to work out
methods for distributing films in the
event of a railroad strike. Trucks
and airplanes will be utilized il

Aero Congress
Endangered By
Lack Of Funds
Chamber ofCommerce Advises
Affair Be Called Off Be.
cause Of Impending Rail-
road Strike. -2t

The International Aero congress
which was to be staged in Omaha
November 3 to S, suffered fatal re-
verses yesterday after the promoters
had made a final struggle to raise
money to put it through.
The guarantors met at the Cham
Der of Commerce with the promoters
at II a. m. yesterday, and pledged
$o,550 on two conditions: First that
the promoters obtain enough more
to make total of $4,000; and, Sec
ond, that a manager be engaged to
take charge of the meet.
Immediately after this meeting,
Paul Kuhns, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, went into 4 meet
ing of the executive committee which
passed resolution that it is ex-
pedient that the international Aero
congress be called off because of the
impending railroad strike"
Doom of Meet Sounded.
After this meeting Earl Porter,
who has been promoting the meet
for the last three months under the
auspices of the Aero Club of Omaha,
announced that a meeting of the club
would be held to determine whether
or not to call the meet off officially.
Guarantors. however, say the ac-
ton of the Chamber of Commerce
makes it unlikely the meet can be
held.
For some time the congress has
been facing financial difficulties.
Grading, to cost $500. on the field
where the meet was to be held. north
Of the city, has not been started. No
hangars have been built. Guy Kid
Goo, who checked over the accounts
on behalf of the guarantors. esti-
mated that $4,000 additional would
be required to hold the meet.
$25,0o0 Already Spent.
Nearly S25.000 has been spent in
various ways in promoting the affair.
At the meeting of the guarantors
yesterday it was suggested that it
would be best to call the meet off.
once for all, but the enthusiasm OF
the Aero club officers induced the
guarantors to give them one moro
chance.
