SOUTH IN BETTER
SHAPE, IS the REPORT
Treasury and Reserve Board See Much
Improved Tone In
Business.

Washington, Sept. 10. - Conditions
throughout the South now reflect a
greatly improved tone, officials said,
both the Treasury and the Federal Re-
serve Board reporting lessened de-
mand for credit from that section. The
view was expressed by high treasury
officials that the purchasing power OF
the South Should be sustained through
the winter as the result Of the i'm
provemcnt in the cotton market.
Better business in the South, II was
asserted, could be expected to have its
effect upon the country generally and
by a reduction in the credit needs OF
the cotton states make available more
money for other sections.
In coal and steel, however, accord
ing to the treasury, little improve
ment is in sight at present Orders
are few in these industries, officials
said, with little prospect OF better
ment.

COLUMBUS MEETING
OF RED CROSS TO Be
THE GREATEST YET
Work Of This Great Organization In
Reconstruction Period To Be
Reviewed ut Convention
In October.

Columbus, o. - At public meeting
attended by city, county and state Off
cials, H. b. Dickson, national director
of Membership Activities in the Amer
lean Red Cross, epitomized the pur-
pose of the national convention which
meets here October AS, as a means Of
putting the heart behind the dollar in
Ire service Of humanity.
"lf the Red Cross is to become the
institution 1t ought to be, then 1t ought
tc become a part of American life. We
have got to have the heart, and that
means life back OF 1t.
The American Red Cross cannot
stop. Humanity demands that 1t keep
going and live.
There is no institution in the world
that can take care of catastrophe or
disaster as the American Red Cross
can. 1t was never better organized for
that work than 1t IS today
THE Red Cross organization has a
tremendous and worth while program
to lay before the American people. The
national convention is the eve of
great national roll call. When we ex-
pect to increase the membership to at
least ten million.
"There is no question but what this
will be one of the greatest conventions
ever held on the continent. Every ma
ton in the world is interested in the
program and the outcome Of the con-
vention. ! was never more optimistic
as to the outcome of any convention as
| am of the wonderfully great Red
Cross convention.
In the disaster at Pueblo the Red
Cross did splendid work. Before the
Corpus Christi disaster was over came
the disaster at Pueblo. There has been
one disaster after another in the
Southwestern Division The American
Red Cross has spent s1,5OO,0O0 in that
divisionoalone in disaster work, since
the beginning of 1919.
"A year ago there we're 10 disasters
in the United States in the month of
March and II of them were in the Lake
Region. At Defiance where the dis
aster broke at 3 o'clock at night, by 2
in the morning the Red Cross was
there and serving the people with hot
soup and sandwiches. In Fort Wayne
It was exactly the same way
AT Atlanta I heard the other day
that the Red Cross has spent twice as
much money in the Southern Division
as it ever got out of 1t in membership.
"In the Salem scourge and epidemic
there were nearly 1000 people i'll at
one time with typhoid. The officials
of the Red Cross at Washington were
asked to help and they voted $4,000
and supplemented that with another
$4,000 to take care of that epidemic
and stop it. There were not over three
per cent of deaths occurring, while the
lowest average death rate is ten per
cent. for similar epidemics."

Wholesome sentiment of an alumni re-

spirit and liberal quantities of the best
racing of the year for trotting and pac-

wind-up of the Grand Circuit, an event
toward which your true horseman
points his course from Sedalia in
spring through Galesburg, Springfield,
North Randall, Hartford, and as many
other racing centers as he can reach
with some chance of winning. No Turk
with his eyes and toes toward Mecca,
no staunch party worker saving to go
TO the National convention, no golf bug
even, looking forward to Saturday af-
ternoOn, Is more dev0ut tnan the
orthodox horsemen trekking to Lex

omega. and all the rest of the Greek
letter fraternity alphabet, of the
world of horses and Craftsmanship. 1t
is to Lexington they come in triumph;
disaster is retrieved and clear records
are ruined, new champions made and
old ones dethroned in these last two
weeks before horseman and horses go

~ Warris,g Tenants and
Landlords Get Together

ssNOW il is time for the good
element of both landlord and
tenant to get together in friendly
spirit to adjust their differences,
convince each other as TO the fair
ness of their respective claims and
by their concentrated efforts check
ing unreasonable owners, also un-
ruly tenants, taking undue advan-
tage under cover of the rent laws.
There are many tenants who
consider that owners of property
ought to receive fair profit on
their equity. There are others who
disregard the landlords rights and,
feeling protected by the rent laws
against eviction, are frequently
abusive and destructive.
"The Greater New York Taxpay-
ers' Association, in it's many deal
ings with rent disputes between
landlord and tenant, has pursued the
method of conciliation and found
this 10 be the proper mode of estab-
fishing good feelings between the
two factors. Warning tenants and
landlords get together. ."-Isidor
Berger, general manager of Greater
New York Taxpayers Association.

Small Homes Nay Be Mode
Fire-I1roof at Little Cost
Introduction Of Steel Into Dwelling Construction
Has Greatly Reduced Fire
Hazards in Homes
By R. C. Boyer
OF Nctionat Bridge u orfs

~ NcttonGt Bridge " orfS
In the planning of the Suburban
home, the question often arises-win
it be safe to construct this home OF
combustiD,e ,nateria9 Or shall we
build permanent home OF masonry
Hitherto, the question OF treproof-
Ing small residence was discarded
on account OF the excessive costs OF
installing the so-calied types Of rscog
nized freproof construction, and the
average home builder was obliged TO
abandon this idea entirely In suca
cases wood joists were used. " ood
joists are used most commonly in our
residences. renemenJs and apartments
Building codes have permitted wood
joists TO be used IN tnese types of
buildings, realizing the fact that #
they insisted upon nreproof struc-
ture. this would create temporary
higher costs Of construction and there
fore higher rents.
Cost Is Comparatively Low
These conditions prevailed until steel
lumber came into the market. Since
then great progress has been made with
this building commodity Steel ium
Der can be installed in buildings at q
cost almost parallelng other construc-
tion,. and produces fireproof system
which will not shrink, therefore elm
mating wall cracks. Steel lumber can
be installed quickly. as all joist sec
tions are cut to length at the mills or
shop and delivered to the job ready TO
be installed-the same practice that
has been Installed by the structural
steel mills and fabricators.
According to statistics prepared by
the National Board Of Fire Underwrit
IA Iica n
formed that over a period Of five years
our loss in buildings throughout the
United States, due to fires, amounts 70
S1,416,375O00 The loss in New York
State alone over this period amounts to
S140,305, 1921. This tremendous loss en-
tirely affects the national economies Of
otr country, creating greater building
costs each year that such losses exist.
Numerous active associations are de-
manding legislation to bring about fire
prevention, and one of the simplest
ways of overcoming this great loss IS
to construct our buildings of more per
manent, non-burnable types OF con-
struction.
Anotaer type of building which is
greatly neglected is our public schools.
It is reported that over 80 per cent Of
our school buildings are potential ere
traps. The average community does
not give this type OF building much
consideration until after the loss Of
numerous children's lives. This is orc
type of building which should be abso-
lutely freproof in eve aspect. and
built for permanency. ,eei ioisJs aaye

West to d great extent IN their. home

neghborhood being we'll built I'D with
private homes, the corner lots became
highly eligible for apartments, and the
developer conveyed them without re-
strictions. The home builders had
made 8 mistake not to require the

they had assumed that the entire local

ground that the character Of the neigh
