BUILDING MATERIALS
TO Be INVESTIGATED
Congress to Aid in Movement
to Bring Down the Cost
of Homes.

A fund OF $4,000 is to be appro-
priated by Congress for the use of
the Brueau of Standards in continuing
and extending its investigations of
structural materials. The tremendous
shortage of homes which exist through
out the country, the 265 different
building codes operative in as many
cities. and the pressing need for i'm
provement i'm construction materials
and methods has resulted in Congress
lending a sympathetic ear to the COM
plants that are pouring in upon Con-
gress that the cost of houses is so
great that people can afford neither to
build nor buy them.
The bureaus need for the appro-
priation was presented to the House
Appropriations Committee by Secre-
tary OF Commerce Hoover. DIR. $. w.

THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
BUSINESS MATTERS.

The materials OF action are variable,
but the use we make Of them should be
neutrality-suspicious..
TT is Just rs important for woman
L to have regard for the rules OF
good form In the transaction of her
business affairs us IN matters purely
social. Sometimes woman who IL
irreproachably correct in, al social
conduct, and who Is courtesy and
good breeding personifed In her so
cial relations, Is careless of rules of
courtesy and good breeding in her
business transactions. In n small
town especially, such duplicity of con-
duct is sure to lead to unpopularity.
What good is 1t If a woman is charm
ing to Mrs. Smith, whom she meets
in her club, IL she is discourteous to
Mrs. Smiths husband, who is cashier
In her bank, or what good can 1t do
to be punctillous In all her dealings
with Mrs. Brown If she neglects to
pay what she owes to Mr.. Brown, who
runs the grocery store.
Remember then that when doing
any sort of business with any sort OF
person, you should begin the transac-
tion with II courteous good morning."
II you ask favor OF tradesman or
anyone with whom you do business,
do not fail to let him know that you
regard It as such.
II you are not going to be able to
pay your bills on the first Of the
month. do the courteous considerate
thing about II. Go to the grocer, or
butcher, or doctor, or dentist. and tell
him that you find II impossible or in
convenient to do so, and ask him for
the favor Of extended credit. Do not
simply neglect payment and then pre-
tend when you do pay that 1t is sim
ply matter OF carelessness or for
eetfulness on your part.
II tradesman Is courteous enough
TO remember your name In doing bust
ness and addresses you by 1t, do not
forget that 1t Is just as conslderate
II you rem, nber his name likewise.
Remember that 1t is Just as incon-
siderate to nsk your grocer to make
special trip of his delivery wagon
because you have carelessly forgotten
to give your order till afternoon. as IL
Is TO ask neighbor TO put herself
out to do some favor for you. II the
grocer does accommodate you. then
you should express your appreciation
with Just as much courtesy as though
the transaction was one Of n social
sort instead Of purely business.

Randal's Great
"Catch"
By HAZEL SMITH


"Randal can go to college now,
Uncle Seth. All the arrangements are
made. II is the happlest thought Of
my life, to realize that 1t Is my
power to show you some appreciation
Of all you and your family have done
for me-"
"BOy, there never was truer, bet
ter man than you"
David Prescott walked slowly across
the Burton farm. His henrt was pret-
ty full. He loved the old man who
had been his best friend since he was
left an orphan at an early age. The
flush and thrill of good deed. how
ever, We're robbed Of some of their
glamour as David thought Of the per-
son most benefited-Randal Burton.
In his own mind David did not be-
lieve the old mans son worthy Of the
sacrifice he was making for him.
Things were at tight pinch at Bur-
ton farm, with little or no cash re.
serves.
"You see," David had explained to
his uncle, there's reclamation prof.

commissioners Of It, too. They have
offered me II two years position as
superintendent of the upper dam. ]

that for two years will carry Randall
through the city law school.
So II was settled. With great
flourish Of trumpets Randall Burton
departed for the city.
The best that was In Eavid came
out. He had said that no one knew
the river as he did, and David now
demonstrated the fact. Within a
month the engineers on the project
found his knowledge Z valuable ad.
junct to their technical processes. At
the end OF six months the engineers
reported that his discovery Of shale
obstruction had saved them ten thou
sand dollars. The commissioners
promptly advanced his salary twenty
Ave per cent.
Time wore OH. David found time to
take up. engineering and study eve
nings. Al the holidays Randall came
home. The next vacation David was
disappointed TO see how little real
law education the boy was acquiring
