they were conducted by gentlemen
ushers down the aisle and around the
unknown warriors grave, between
rows of guests standing in phalanxes,
tier above tier, on either side, to
their places in the sacrarium.

 The proprietor knew old Jim Burr ges. Burr was a wheelsman on Car ferry Number 25.. He was a lakeman, experienced and capable; that fact, some months before, had served as in- troduction for him to the frequenters of this place. When the ferry was in harbor and his duties left him idle, Burr came up and waited there, occu- pying always the same chair. He never drank he never spoke to, others unless they spoke first to him, but then he talked freely about old days on the lakes, about ships which had been lost and about men long dead.
 Alan decided that there could be no better place to interview old Burr than here; he waited therefore, and in the early evening the old man came In. He was slender but muscularly built man seeming about sixty-five, but he might be considerably younger or older than that. His hair was completely white his nose was thin and sensitive; his face was smoothly placid, emotionlssS, contanted: his eyes were quser1y cloud

 this waste. The country is literally throwing away 1,OOO,OOO,O00 an- nually which might, be saved for the industry and help to reduce the cost of construction. Over a half billion dollars loss occurs from lack of em- ployment in the dull seasons, strikes, poor labor management, etc. l am glad to see that wide awake men in the contracting business are expert menting with methods to facilitate building in the winter tme. The use of canvas protection for brick lay ing, salamanders and steam jets to prevent freezing of concrete, and other methods of combating bad weather are being more generally adopted.
 "But isn't winter building more expensive?" queried the interviewer.
 "Yes, but even if the cost is 10Ho or 1920 greater, the contractor Gas has bene estimated) could afford to take smaller profit, and the work men less wages, rather than do Eoth- ing all winter" MT. Babson replied. Moreover, the man who builds in the winter time has the pick of the labor market. Often the greater efficiency of winter labor completely offsets the other added costs.
 "Other things that make building so expensive are high labor turnover, poo rand inadequate equipment, careless handling of material, failure to plan in detail. On the labor side, there are wasteful regulations and restrictions, requiring skilled men to do the work of, unskilled, prohibiting labor saving devices, limiting the number of apprentices, and so forth.
 "All these things combine to make the high cost of building. When the men who are conducting the industry learn to cut these wastes out, then we shall have more building at lower cost to the people, and more profit to the industry"
 General business is still improv- ing. The index of the Babsonchart shows general activity but 29o below normal an improvement of % dur ing the last week. This is the high est point reached in over 2 years.
