UNUSUAL WINTER BUILDING 2. ? PROGRAM SEEN IN COUNTRY; .
 SURVEY MADE OF q STATES

CHICAGO, Nov. l6.-More thar the usual amount of winter activity in building with residential work taking a prominent part. is indicated in a survey of activities made by the American Contractor, in 27 states forming the main northeastern part of the United States.
 Valuation of the 2,141 contracts awarded for the week ending October 2S, reached a total of s64.34S, 400 and was but slightly lower than the weekly average for the first nine months of this record breaking year, says the publication.
 "The volume of contracts awarded during the last two weeks of Octo' her. which are normally dull. shows that there Is expectation of less let up than usual during the winter pc riod," the paper states. There are inoontroyertiblc facts which show that building activity is in no dan ger of slump for months to come.

Analyz. ing the problems that will confront delegates. to the approaching confer ence on the naturalization of the Dar- danelles. which is to follow the Near East Peace Conference, Lord Rob- ert declared that in his opinion, and also in the opinion of League mem. bers who have studied the situation, there is no satisfactory solution pos sible except to hand over the Straits to League control, now that both sides of the Dardanelles apparently are to become Turkish territory.
 "The question now resolves itself into getting Turkey to assent in prin- ciple to freedom of the Straits. sub ject to her own bclligerent rights, and undertake not to fortify them nor to maintain submarine bases there" he added "These arrange ments should be in charge of the League Of Nations, which would make an annual report of the situa- tion.

SHORT SKIRT WILL REMAIN IN
 HAITI; WILL SHOW THE WORLD

CARE HAITIEN. Nov. 16.-Haii often has been referred to as a back ward nation. but in dress the Haitian woman of the predominating peasant class long anticipated the American Eappers in two of her most distinc- tive traits. Short skirts and the trick of rolling her own" were adopted here long before the flapper took them to her heart Short skirts are. necessity to the woman who spends her days toiling in a garden or riding a burro. They wore them short in Haiti when Andrew Jackson was in the White House. and the style has not changed.
 It was in 1915 that the peasant wo- man began to "roll her own" In that year the occupation forces of American marines and shore leave parties of bluejackets brought a golden trail of American coin to the impoverished island. Regiments and ships bought freely in the markets, and the women reaped the benefit. Haiti is country of caste, and the possession of shoes and stockings marks a decided social, advance for the peasant class. They invested their earnings in them, but drew the line at garters, and necessity taught them substitute.

 There is one distinctive feature of amble patiently on. and then give them the final twist and roll before lacing their shoes. When the days work is done, the reverse is ac- women's dress in Haitian peasant circles. however, that will hardly find favor in the sophisticated eyes of the American flapper Frequently one sees among the universal faded blue and white attire. one of red, white and blue, with the three colors arranged in fantastic patterns of stripes and squares, usually topped by bright red bandanna turban. A pea vant woman thus arrayed, ac- customed to carry burdens on her head from infancy, strides along in this gay costume with the carriage of a Greek goddess She is "peni- tente' who has broken one of the laws of the peasant code of conduct. and her self-elected costume openly proclaims to her sisters that she has backslidden from their curious code and is wiping it out by public pen ance.

 ''Of the contemplated work for that week, $46.491 200 is for residential building as against $12,S31 300 for business building and $7.025.300 for industrial building. While the de- nand for residence building has not diminished and will not diminish for some time. there is little business md industrial building going on and period of business expansion will ldd these projects to the field. In addition there is much educational and governmental building in abey- ance which must be odne soon.

any nation is at war it's entire civil population likewise is at war. there fore food and other supplies destined for any civil population may be stopped if the enemy has the power to do so. For this reason, those studying the problem of the Straits assert that if war occurred between states bordering on Turkey, the lat ter would find it to her financial interest to insist on the Straits re- maining neutral, but on the other hand, if Turkey were directly in- volved in war. no stretch of diplo- matic imagination could forsee her going against her own military in terests to permit neutral vessels ot war or commerce to pass through the Straits.
 It is noted that the freedom of the Straits once was considered neces' sary, especially in case of a general war, with Russia lined up as Euro

 GIVEN OF FEARLESS FIGHTER

Georges Clemenceau, Premier of France during the latter part of the World War, who is now on his way to the United States to deliver a certain mum Der of speeches to pro mote more harmony and understand ing between France and the United States, is one of the brilliant men of Europe. In order that side lights on the character of this famous man may be brought home to all readers the Associated Press has sent out to all clients, the following anecdotes concerning Clemenceau. The first installment is printed today and is most interesting reading.-Ed)
 Georges Clemenceau. one of the foremost journalists in France, got his first experience as a newspaper man during his sojourn in the United States between 1866 and 1869
 Throughout his residence in Amer lea Clemenceau sent contributions to the "Temps." Letters from Amer, ica." they were called, and they dealt with all the foremost questions of the day. His articles on the future of the negro race in the United States. written two years after the end of the Civil War, are model of style and show clear under. standing of this complex problem They set forth the difficulties and the dangers besetting the relations of the white and cHored races in the United States.
 Clemenceau wrote them after an
