BUILDING TRADE
GAINS IN STATE
Healthy Condition Indicated i'm Re-

of Labor-FeWer JObles.

Healthy conditions in industries
supplying building materials as
well as in the building trades. and
gains in the tanneries and in the
manufacture OF metals, machinery
and conveyances. are reported by
the state department of labor in a
survey of the employment condittoni
in Illinois at the close of February
The reports from the superinten-
dents of the free employment SER
ice are more encouraging than
those from employers. The super
intendents report that although
there were ISIS persons seeking
work at the offices, there we're 313l
more opportunities for employment
in February than in January. There
were 2097 persons registered for
each 100 jobs open in February att
all the offices as compared with
1924 in January and 2611 in Feb
ruary. 1920 In Chicago the raLEol
of registrants to jobs was 205.S{
compared with 23S.9 in January
and 1882 in February last year
The volume of employment re-
ported for more than one-third Of
the employees now at work in fac
tories. public utilities and trade
companies shows an increase of .i5i
of one per cent. However. nearly
So 1-3 per cent more workers were
employed in building operation.
Seven out OF ten tannerieS increased
employment, the gain for the month
being 68 per cent, despite the fact
that leather industries as whole
are said TO be subject to a seasonal
reduction of activity in February.
The stone, clay and glass produce
industries seem to be entering early
upon their season of greatest ac-t
tivity. The largest gain in this
group was recorded in the glass
factories, SO out of IS reporting
concerns increasing operations.

fall away from his Christian state.
The goal of life. he said, was the
formation of a character accepta-

life, he affirmed was the life in
which the urge of fleshly and world

other, that "they'' say this or that

tain model, but whence came the in
spiration to make. that model is not
specified. Desire for. change is at the
back Of all fashions. No woman loves
her clothes little and for long time.
She is ever demanding something
new and never has "a rag to put on
her back" This is a classic tag, not
peculiar to the women Of any one
country. Yet clothes have national
voice, as NJ. de: Montferrier pointed
out It is easy to distinguish French,
English or Italians, though they all
