YES V SAYS MARY KATHERINE
 MAULE

NEW YORK-If a man deliber- ately burns his own houfss. he com mits a criminal act and cen be pun ished for his crime.
 If a man deliberately wrecks his own home by infidelity, should he be classed as a criminal and punished like one?
 "Yes," says the German govern ment, and enacts a law making marital infidelity punishable by nine years imprisonment.
 The American government hasn't taken any such action yet! But only a short time ago an American court refused citizenship papers to Rudolf F'riml. the famous composer, because his wife had divorced him for infidelity.
 If reformers succeeded in having a goth amendment to the federal con- stitution, regulating divorce. will congress later be called upon to enact law making it possible to send the philandering husband or wayward wife to prison?
 Should this be done?

French Hydroelectric Power.

According to a consular report
from Paris. a recent publication on
the development of water power In
France states that prior to August.
1914. the amount of hydroelectric
power developed amounted to .750.-
900 horsepower out of an available
total of 100000 to 100000 horse
power. BY the middle of 1919 It is
stated that France was equipped to
develop 1.165.0o0 horsepower. fur
nishing an average of approximate
ly 10000 horsepower. At that
time more than 100000 horsepower
we're being developed, and it is es-
timated that in 1894 an average of
more than 100000 horsepower will
be reached. Much capital has been
invested in the development of
water power since 1913, and In
three years more than 100000
francs have been invested in forty
nine power-plant companies. Elec-
trical power Is developed In the
principal Industrial centers OF
France. but II has not been intro
duced into many communes.

The figures are for the riscal year

p, rAs w..Ai.ite. H.r.ls.. Eee..nl.t.,

One of the most hopeful signs
appearing in the otherwise cloudy
atmosphere of business conditions
is the apparent increase in build
ing activities. Bradstreet's report
Of the expenditures during Febru-
airy in l46 cities shows total of
s77.s4o. 900. which Is 81 per cent
more than the expenditures in jan
uary. February being short
month. with three less working
days, ordinarily shows a decline in
total activity. compared to January.
Last year there was a decline in
the February building expenditures
amounting to more than $4,000, 900,
or about 16 per cent. The increase
for the second month of this year
is therefore particularly encouras-
ing.
Compared with February a year
ago there is a marked decrease. The
figures for 1890 were s1O3,s37, 900
compared to s77.S40,000 in the same
cities this year. This Is a decrease
of IS per cent. but on the other hand
this is the smallest relative decrease
compared TO a corresponding month
OF a year ago, since August. Build
ing expenditures In January, 1921,
showed a decrease of So per cent
compared with year before. About
the same relation is found between
December. 1920. and the last month
of 1919.
II is of further interest to note

Three and a half million pounds oi

Demand Owing to Prohibitive Rates.

change is expected TO come back
TO normal In time. dependent upon
how soon foreign nations are able
to recover from the effects Of the
war. At best this IL likely to be
a long drawn out process. and 20
wait for normal conditions the
world over would mean disaster for
the American exporter. II would
seem. therefore, that the only way
In which export trade can be con-
tinued in large volume is through
credits granted to foreign buyers
who wish to purchase American
products, leaving the question Of
exchange out Of the situation-or
at least leaving the matter of set
tlement until such q time as e1-
change is nearer parity. This
method has been practiced some
what by the banks in the last year
or so. but the commercial banks
have expanded their resources in
the interest of foreign trade-espe-
cially thai trade which has required
long-term financing to the full ex-
tent of their ability. Commercial
banks. moreover. have gone as far
as prudent in providing credit of
sumcient length, and the result has
been that some $500. .oe0. 900 have
been tied up in loans which under
present circumstances cannot i'm
mediately be liquidated.
What is needed as a solution of
the whole problem is machinery
adequate to provide credit of suf-
ncient length IN this country to en-
able foreign buyers OF American
products to purchase here in che
volume they desire, having their
purchases properly financed and
adequately handled. The Foreign
Trade Financing Corporation af.
tords the single. really bright spot
in the whole situation. This cor
porstion. when IL is organized. will
be in the position TO extend such
credits to foreign buyers

tFebruary returns from i46 cities only.
+. W. Dodge Company's report on
building contracts awarded during
February in twenty-five Northeast
ern States does not show quite such
a favorable condition. The total
February contsacts amounted to
sl0o,7Ss.o0o compared to s111,s4S,o0o
in January. Thirty-six per cent of
the February contracts were for
residential building. Contemplated
projects reported in February total
more than S56i.000.0o0 and even
omitting the very large item of
SCOT, 100000 for the Hudson River
Bridge. the remainder has been ex-
ceeded in only one month since last
June. '-
Too much optimism cannot be ex-
pressed over the returns for this
one month. There is always a sea-
sonal increase in building operations
usually being manifested FIRST in the
March returns. The past winter has
been exceptionally mild and no
doubt has resulted in earlier opera
tions than usual. A comparison of
later months will show whether
there Is any real Improvement in
building activity.
Residential building is very far
behind the needs of this country and
any evidence of real Improvement
in this direction would be a most
encouraging sign. On the other
hand, 1t is hardly to be expected
that greatly enlarged operations
will be undertaken under present
conditions. Money Is still difficult
to procure and rates are high. Prices
Of labor are still far above what
they probably will be a year or two
years from now. Building material
which went to cxorbitsnt prices Ia
the middle of 1920 has shown mark
ed declines in recent months. In
January. ACCORDING to the Depart
ment of Labor wholesale index.
building material prices were 13e
per cent above prewar. In May,
1920. this group Of commodities was
241 per cent above rrewar. so that
the decline has been quite substans
tial. The only point is that prices
are still dropping rapidly. A build
ing put up in December. 1920. cost
at least 10 per cent more for ma
terial than IL II had been built a
month later. Until there is a per-
manent price 'evel established bus
mess men will hesitate to put
money into new buildings on a very
large scale.

Group Of Seventeen TO Be

CHICAGO. March -. - Farmers
representatives from all the grain
growing States will meet in Chi
cago April for the purpose OF
ratifying or rejecting the grain
marketing plan evolved by the far
mers' marketing committee of sew
enteen.
In announcing the meeting, the
committee said that in the mean
time the various States will hold
sectional meetings TO select dele
gates to the Chicago conference.
Each State will have one delegate
at large and one delegate for each
SIS. 10000 worth of grain marketed
during the last ten years.
What opposition will be offered
to the plan is not known. but il is
declared that number Of organi-
cations. including a national wheat
growers association in the South
west, have attacked various fes-
lures Of the committees proposed
system on the theory that il will
take years to develop the giant mar
keting structure to a point where IL
can replace the present system un-
der which hedging is possible.
Other sgriculturalists say the
pooling plan may throw the entire
system open to charges from con-
sumers Of violating the antitrust
laws by attempting to FIX prices.

to form a giant trust" said Clifford

Of similar rules: in fact. the com

ruling which holds that the railroad
