BUILDING IN JUNE
The r. w. Dodge Companys Review
Of Building Activity.

/ Construction activity in June, ac-
cording to figures published by the
| +. w. Dodge Company, was 6Gc less
than in MAY, although it was greater
than in April Contracts awarded
during june in the twenty seven
Northeastern states Of the country
amounted to $227.I1l,000.
Those sections in which labor trou-
hles have been most pronounced were
the ones in which decreased building
activity was evident, Furthermore,
the latter half OF june showed up
more strongly than the first half. The
two facts seem TO indicate that the
small decline in June was only tenn
porary setback
Included in the June total We're the
following items: $75,l75, 900, or 33Gt,
for residential buildings: $52.967,0o0,
or 23ct for public works and utilities;
$25.493, 600, or 11Ct for business
buildings; S23,441, 600, or 1917, for
educational buildings; and S1S,502, 900,
or 81, for Industrial plants.
The first half of this year has
shown up quite favorahly in COM
parison with previous years. From
January l. to July l, the total amount
of contracts awarded has been ST.
06G. 256.O00. This figure is 80
greater than the average semi-annual
total for the preceding five years
Included in the total for the first
six months of 1921 were the following
items: $3.50. 600. or 34cf, for resi-
dental buildings; 242,701, 600, or
23rt, for public works and utilities;
s144,4SS, 900. or 1870, for business
buildings: $104.194 900. or 1911, for
educational buildings; and s86,940
000. or 81, for industrial buildings.
Contemplated new work has been
reported during the first six months
of this year to the amount of two
and n half billion dollars.
June was month of price and
vase adjustments Pending these ad-
iustments the public has maintained
an. attitude Of hesitation about going
ahead There are certain advantages
in building now, especially in those
localities where wages have been
substantially reduced.
A stronger feeling of confidence is
the principal element needed to en-
increased activity in the re-
naming summer months. While
there is in evidence tendency to
hold up building operations till the
fall. there is a good chance that July
will be month of somewhat greater
activity than June.
In 1919 SOC of the years total con-
struction activity occurred in the
second half of the year. Thus far
this year activity has kept somewhat

Perfect Test of
Radio Control
Battleship Iowa

Washington. July 1O--(By The
performance Of the hattleship Iowa
under radio control during recent
aerial bombing tests may lead to
revolutionary changes in naval de-
vciopment. officers believe. Without
soul on board the Iowa was
maneuvered from the battleship
Ohio. j miles away. with the utmost
precision and there was not a hitch
in the mechanism III more than two
hours while the Iowa was being
bombed.
1t was a scientific triumph. The
Iowa was a real Flying Dutchman."
that mythical Crewless ghost of the
Seas, as she obeyed the will of Cap
tain +. l.. Chadwick on the Ohio, al
most hull down on the horizon. The
invisible, magic fingers Of the radio
reached out across the sea to whirl
the Iowa's steering wheel, operate the
fuel oil and water supply valves and
start and stop the ship.
SO perfectly did the control func-
ton that the officer on the Ohio
Unanswered the Iowa away from
the attacking air forces at the mo-
ment the bombs were being released,
varying the speed of the target ves-
sci at will.
Army and navy officers who wit
messed the test were much impressed
by the possibilities of development
of the radio control idea for use in
future wars. 1t was said to be APP
parent that radio control might
eliminate some loss of life in such
enterprises as block ship" opera
tons as when the British undertook
at Zeebrugge and OStend to bottle
up German submarines. The block
ship" of the future 1t was pointed
out might sail serenely in
to AN enemy harbor without q soul
on board and be sunk to obstruct
its channel by the electrical explo-
sion of her magazines.
Already the navy is working out
plans for shifting control at will
from surface vessel like the Ohio
er-than-air The radio control de-
vice on the Ohio is so simple. Off
GERS say. that little difficulty is an
ticipated in adapting it for use in an
airplane or a dirigible. When this
development is worked out the con-
trolling aircraft will be able to work
at an altitude of 10000 feet and
above, safe from any gunfire from
below, and steer the controlled YES
sci anywhere on the sea within fuel
radius.
A movement is afoot to install RAJ
dio control on at least one more OBJ
solete battleship and two old de-
strOyers to serve as targets for aerial
bombing practice and further exper-
iments with radio control Extern
sion of experiments to the possibility
of applying the radio control idea to
aircraft also is under consideration
and it is within probabilities that
giant, crewless bombing planes, load
ed with high explosives could be
launched against naval vessels, cities
and forts with no costly sacrifice of
trained officers and men.
The entire radio control idea,
post war development, in it's present
application is in it's infancy. naval
officers believe, and they expect
great improvements i'll the efficiency
and scope of the control within the
next few years.
