ADOPT MEMS NAMES.

The fact that women authors con-
tinue to use pen names that are cal
culated TO carry the impression that
the writer's are of the other sex nat
urally tangles up the reader. From
George Sand and George Eliot down,
there seems to be an odd desire
among some authors to masquerade
in this fashion.
1t is no secret, according to her
publisher, that Robert Orr Chippen-
field is the same person as Isabel Os-
trander. writer of mystery stories,
but there are people still unaware of
the fact.
A reader who. liked one of the
Chippenfield stories walked into a
bookstore recently and asked for
something along the same line.
The bookseller offered him Miss
Ostrander's latest story. The Gus
toner looked at the title page.

terry story by a woman. 1 should

Outlook Encouraging for Build

Commenting on tho building situa-
tion. s. w. Straus Of s. w. straus 4
Co., says:
Preparations for extensive building
activities continue daily and at the
present time tho outlook for q pro
pjtious season IL most encouraging.
Reports indicate particular activity
In residential operations. Unless un-
forseen events transpire. the ensuing
season will bring considerable relief
to the housing situation throughout
the country.
Reports indicate an undersupply
Of most essential building materials,
thus active conditions are likely to
develop q serious shortage In supplies.
The general fundamental conditions
cannot be said to be conducive to
lower building prices, In fact the ac-
tivities which now appear to be get
ting under way may be expected In
the natural course OF events to
strengthen prices.
In some localities there have been
recessions in labor costs due to un-
employment and general business de-
preston. but 1t would not be prudent
to withhold building plans on the as
sumption of further prospective gem
eral recessions in labor.
