BUILDING
Construction for Past Year
Totals S36, 100000, Trip
linq Pre-War Volume

In the building program Of Amer
tcan cities, Washington, in point OF
comparative size and population,
tanks highest. with construction
totaling $36,OOO.0OO for the last
twelve months.
Deluged with permits, the build
ing inspectors office declares this
year to be the greatest III the his
tory of the city, Residential con
struction stands highest, with apart
ment building secondary, figures
compiled by the office indicate.
Prior to the war, construction
activities averaged approximately
$4,000, 900 year. That slump is
not approaching is shown by the
TACT that as much construction is
now in progress as corresponding
months of last year showed.
Every month, the office reports,
approximately $3,500,OO0 CT con-
struction work is recorded. Out
standing in the building program
is the erection of residences rang
Ing in price from 1000 to $4,000.
Although ii has not retarded the
present boom, building of homes
priced at $4,000 to $4,000 has been
noticeably. slack, it was said The
cause of this is attributable % the
high cost of labor and building ma
terials, according to one official.
John Richie, chief clerk of the
District building department, pre-
diets that the demand for homes
will not be met for two ears. even
though the erection of smaller
homes is taken up on larger
scale.
There is a crying need for homes
of a smaller type" declared Mr..
Richie yesterday. THE alley law
pending in Congress will throw
thousands of poor persons from
their dwellings.
Washington shows steady
growth. Building activities here
will never fall back to prewar days.
High rents for many residents of
moderate means have caused gen.
uine hardships and the only hope
for relief is an enlarged building
program that would specialize in
small.type homes" declared Mr..
Richie.

HEAT Essential
IN MODERN
BUILDING
Proper Degree Of Temperature
-. Needed Before Plas- f,
tering.

IL .plastering IL to be done In the
winter time It is necessary to main.
tain some. heat In the building, says
the Home Builders Clinic.
Be sure that the Temperature Is
not raised excessively. II the heat
is too excessive and maintained for a.
longer time than necessary there Is a
nossibility the wooden lath may be.
come too dry and shrinkage occur In
the lath.
When the plastering Is applied
upon the lath under these conditions
Il will take up the excess moisture
and warp, twist and crack the plas-
ter plane.
II by chance the lath should be.
come too dry through overheating
the house, before the plaster Is APP
p)ied. the laths should be dampened
by throwing water on them. The
plaster itself must not be dried too
rapidly.
This IL especially true OF the so.
called wall plasters made Of gypsum.
When they are dried by artificial
heat or through the action Of hot
winds they do not accommodate them
selves to internal stresses brought
on by the rapid shrinkage. and there
fore cracks develop. A slow process
of driving out Is desired. 1t should be
thorough and not forced. The tenn
perature Of the house should not be
allowed to drop below freezing until
after plaster setting has been COM
pleted.
Another thing to look out for are
the conditions surrounding installa-
ton Of millwork in cold weather
There is more than an even chance
that a considerable amount Of damp
ness will occur about the house
This dampness will be readily alb
sorbed by the woodwork.
Wood taken in It's natural state
| from the forest Is full OF moisture
| which should be driven off to make
| the wood durable and permanent. II
| any considerable amount OF moist
| ure IL reabsorbed the wood will swell
shrink. warp and deteriorate. with
resulting bad appearance and detri
mental effects to the construction Of
building. For that reason II always
] is desirable to keep woodwork as DIR,
as possible.

ARMY OFFICERS WORKING
TO GUST GENERAL ROGERS
Scandal Likely to Develop Unless
Secretary Weeks intervenes

Washington, June 4.-One of
tho lvelicst army rows since the
close of the war has developed over
efforts to deprive MAJOR General Harry
l.. Rogers of reappointment as quar-
termaster general His four years term
will expire in few weeks.
Several ambitious officers are said to
be bringing powerful influence to bear
in order 10 obtain the office. The matter
Is fast reaching point where an open
expose of social and political wire
pulling within the military cstablis
ment IS likely, unless Secretary Weeks
and General pershing put an end to the
campaign against the quartermaster
general.
General Rogers was ouartcrmaster
general Of the A. f. +. lie was one Of
General Iershing's most valuable aides.
There never was a hint of scandal under
his administration. lie directed the
almost hcrculcan task of supplying
900 900 soldiers across 5000 miles of
ocean. After the war he handled the
return of the soldier dead.
Officers of the army, who are aroused
over the attempt to Gust General Rogers
for no other reason than TO give the
place to some other officer. are demand
Ing to know why il should happen that
even though the present quartermaster
general might lack sufficient political
influence TO be retained, every brigadier

should be slurred over in favor of an
officer never identified with that branch

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

There was disposition Throughout,
the Street after the close Of business on
Saturday to pursue conservative pol
icy relative to fresh stock market CON .
mitments. but the opinion in leading
banking quarters was that there would
be periodical outbreaks of b,llish activ.
ity in certain groups. There was re.
Election Of just such a situation during
the last week when the steel and rail
stocks underwent quite an advance in
the face df comparative quietude else
where in the list.
The most unsettling influence of the
week was that of the pronounced gyra.
tious that occurred in Mexican Petro.
leum common. this stock having moved
up to the highest point touched on the
advance. but on Friday there was a
sharp reaction which carried the quota .
,tion down to about ten points below
the high levels quoted earlier in the
week.
Such movements as those reflected in
the New Mexican Petroleum issue al.
ways do more harm than good to the
general market situation and. while
the Stock Exchange announced an in =
vestigation of the advance, little atten-
ton was paid to this development, be-.
cause in the past when such investiga
tions have been made they have not been
productive Of any particularly startling
results.

COpper Situation Improving

Underlying conditions in the copper

though there was no change in quota

deliveries. with 1875 cents asked for
nearby shipments.
However. it was stated in conserva.

that there was less of the metal avail
able at the lower figure than in the
preceding week, because offerings were
no as urgent and some sellers had with
drawn from the market at that price
entirely.
On the other hand. there was no in.
crease in buying in evidence and. while
some consumers had put out fair sized
inquiries. there was no rush to place
actual orders. because users appeared
