COPPER CHEAPER
IN HOME BUILDING
Initial Cost Greater, But Out
lasts More Truly Eco
nomical.

Architects and contractors. metal
lurgists and economists concede the
great superiority of copper and
copper products over other metals
used in building. Why. then. YOU
may ask. is II necessary that YOU
should take a firm position in de-
manding that the specifications for
your home provide for copper and
| its alloy wherever their use is pos
| sible?
The reason is that architects and
contractors must accede to the
clients orders to keep down costs
wherever possible. You plan tc
( spend just so much for home. II
/ is the general experience that the
/ building appropriation is exceeded
when the plans come up for final
consideration.
| 1t is found that an extra $500 or
so is required. The home builder
| is not willing to sacrifice a room
or a porch or some other feature
| The architect is reluctant to change
the house plan. Likewise the con-
| tractor. He prefers to have his
! construction work go throuCh-to
use good lumber. good brick. good
stone. etc. Both architect and con-
tractor want to keep the home
builder satisfied.
But there is that extra $500, II
is natural for them to take the
course of least resistance. So they
agree with the home-builder that
retrenchments can be made in the
ing and hardware. The home build

economy, makes bad start And
that is how substitutes take the
place of copper and brass when the
home builder fails to realize the err
ror of this course.
Let the home builder consider the
question from his own viewpoint
as a matter of business. Here Is
what a conservative business leader
in this country writes on the sub
| ject:
IT say unreservedly that II is not
! good business to continue the use
| OF substitutes for copper and cop
per products in the fields where
they. are pre-eminent. now that
copper is plentiful.
TT may be good business from
the standpoint of the plumber tc
use a substitute for brass pipe. be
cause he knows that IL time he
will have to replace that pipe.
ut may be good business for
hardware dealer to sell hrass-plat-
ed steel screws. because there Is
more profit for him in them than In
solid brass screws.
TT may even be good business
! for a roofer to lay tin roof thai
requires constant upkeep expense
| and replacement every few years
! instead OF a copper roof. the life
of which when properly laid is ev-
| erlasting
But none of these things is good
business for the consumer (the
| mebuilder). The slightly higher
initial cost of copper. brass and
copper products generally does not
deter their use when the ultimate
saving accomplished by the misun-
derstood."
The last sacrifice you should make
is anv Involving the quality of the
plumbing. roofing or hardware II

'opper products is ESSENTIAL II you
are to have an enduring, a better

Corn and oats were rather dull.
Local traders bought corn early.
while commission houses sold and
the market on the whole showed an

oats continue relatively poor. but
so far have had little effect on the

LUMBER INDUSTRY
NEEDS STANDARDS,
SAYS Sec. HOOVER
National Inspection Body
Is Essential in Build
ing Confidence.

Viewing the '1ack of organiza-
tion in the lumber industry as q
slight upon the trade" Secretary of
Commerce Hoover predicted the
speedy organization Of a national
inspection bureau, in his opening
address at the lumber standards
conference last week.
Mr.. Hoover stated that IF we
can bring about a national inspec-
tion service to guarantee the
| quality of American lumber we
will have made a tremendous step
! forward.
/ tional inspection service with rep
resentatives abroad American lum-
/ bermen are losing from 10 to is
per cent of the prices they might
realize on their exports" Mr..
Hoover declared. The quality of
American lumber is superior to all
| continental lumber. he said. but
because of lack of adequate in
| spection superior American lumber
sells 1t the price of inferior for
| eign lumber. He also pointed out
| that while many manufacturers
may feel no interest in the foreign
| trade, they must remember that
| any decline in the foreign trade
| had a direct effect on the home
market.
The organization of a national
| inspection bureau would signify 10
| the public that there is a central
| point in the United States that
| stands as a guarantee to the bust
| ness ethics of the entire industry
| That appeals to me more than 70
some of you perhaps. because be-
/ inp in touch with ntlhlir continent
/ l realize often enough that it is
not sufficient to do the honest
! thing; you have got TO prove every
minute of the day that you are
honest. And in order to prove II
| organisms have got to be set up
that are a daily advertisement OF
| definite guarantees. While the va
rious associations in their inspec-
tion and certification bureaus have
done splendid service they are
often regional and partial, and dc
not secure all that we want. which
is public confidence concentrated
on some one point"

WHEAT PURCHASES
in INITIAL TRADING
LACK ENTHUSIASM
Disappointing Threshing
Returns Coupled With
Rust Reports Aid Market

CHICAGO, June 17.-There was
lack of enthusiastic buying Of
wheat In the early trading. Scat
tered showers were reported In
Oklahoma and Kansas and tenn
peratures throughout the South
west and Central West were lower.
although the forecast was for gem
orally fair with rising tempera-
lures. Disappointing threshing re-
turns on wheat were received from
Texas and Oklahoma with mention
of black rust damage in the latter
State. Commission houses bought
september on moderate scale
early and July came out rather
freely. tending to widen the differ
ence somewhat. Commission house
and local sentiment is mixed with
a disposition to look for a trading
market until there is a change in
the character OF the news. LIVER
pool closed haAd higher but
failed to have much effect. For
eign crop reports more favorable
with rain reported in France and
Australia where they will do much
good. There was nothing in the
early trading to Indicate any ex-
tensive export demand for new or
old crop wheat from abroad.

ABOUT EVOLUTION
is EVOLUTION MENTIONED IN RIRIE2
BY Garrett p. Seryiss.

IL Is not said that the Almighty
created the fish in an instant, ont
OF nothing, as full-grown fish,
and then threw II into the water
but that he said. Let the waters
bring forth" this living creature.
In the second chapter or Genesis.
beginning with he fourth verse.
we find this:
These are the generations OF
the heavens and OF the eJrth
when they were created. IN he
day that the Lord God mace he
earth and the heavens.
And every planr of rhu field
before II was in the -arth. and
every herb of the ficId before II
grew: for the Lord I,od had not
caused II TO rain Epon toe "arth,
and there WAS not mHn to till
the ground.
'But there wen. IN mist
from the earth and watered the
whole face OF the ground.
And the Lord God formed
man OF the dust OF the ground
and breathed into his nostrils the
breath Of life; and man become 4
living soul"
We begin to see here that there
are two different accounts Of the
origin Of things intermingled in
Genesis. but disregarding this. we
will take the statements as we
find them. And doing 30 we can.
not escape from me evidence that
the underlying thought is every.
where that OF evolution. and no:
that or a series OF unconnectod
~ reations. For instance. Il is stated
that the Lori God made evsrv
plant and limb before Il grew"
Now that does not mean that thev
were full-form I'd plants before, or
when. they were placed upon he
earth. and manifestly It cannot
mean that they were suddenly
created full.formeJ upon the earth.
because not only did they already
exist dn germ), but II IL expressly
explained that the Almighty had
not vet caused II to rain on tie
earth: therefore the seeds could not
develop. Next comes the verge de-
scribing the watering OF the whole
face OF the ground by a mist that
went up from the earth-an admir-.
able general description OF the
process OF evaporation and the
origin OF rain.
The whole description is full Of
the evolutionary idea. God first
creates the germs or seeds OF the
plants. then he secures their dc.
velopment by providing for their
nourishment by the rain and the
ground. Cause and effect are seen
in operation all through, and the
Almighty simply sets them going.
