within the last two or three years be-
cause SO many pictures were made by
persons whose promises regarding
distribution were made, resulting III
the loss OF hundreds OF thousands of
dollars to the manufacturers. The
notion picture can be Of great lncuS-
trial and commercial value to this
country, not only at home but abroad.
We have seen the very bad effect OF
the flood of goods from low-cost coun-
tries; we have seen many OF our tEc-
tories shutting down because Of this
invasion. We have not taken the pro-
per steps for protection, and | am
speaking entirely from a non-partl-
san, nOn-political standpoint, the
standpoint of an American who Is IN
terested in seeing protection given to
our industries and institutions which
have grown on a high wage scale and
high production scale. And we must
look to the production of our interests
IN other parts of the world, not mere
~ protection at home. Other coun-
tries, having flooded America with
goods produced at a figure far below
gong into the other sections Of the
world, preaching the superiority of
their goods and using the motion pic
ture as one of the most effective sales
men. American goods are bound to
suffer and we must not close our eyes
to this situation. We must go out
after this business as we would for
domestic business. and one of our
most valuable means will be the in
dustrial motion picture. Other coun-
tries are starting this motion picture
sales campaign in a very vigorous way
and we certainly should not stay be-
hind any longer
after he has apparently recovered.
Helping a patient into bed is not
necessarily the first thing to be done
in every case Of sudden illness. Great
harm may be done by the injudicious
moving of injured persons, and often
it is safer to make person comfor-
table with pillows and blankets where
he happens to be, certainly until
enough people can be found to move
him comfortably. Clothing should be
removed carefully, and one should not
hesitate to cut it away if undressing
is painful or necessitates much NOV
ing.
Stimulants in emergency work are
frequently infused. They should not
be given when the head is injured,
when bleeding is profuse, or when
the face is red and the pulse strong.
Neither should attempts be made to
give fluids Of any kind to patients not
sufficiently conscious to swallow. Safe
stimulants to use are black coffee, tea
or aromatic spirits of ammonia. Al
coholc liquors should not be given UNI
less prescribed by a physician.

therefore, to an active spring build
ing season.
The situation varies greatly be-
tween different cities, of course, few
even having a surplus of homes, but
number of places apparently will
build to the limit Of their capacity.
In view of general business conditions
it does not seem likely that there will
be any great general increase in build
ing material prices of building trade
wages. In fact, the steady activity
during the fall and winter months in
dictate that the demand for new con-
struction is of steady, healthy nature,
that would porbably slacken in case
Of any marked advances.
Movements in the building indus
try during the next months are ex-
pectcd to be rather steady.
Measured in floor space, the aver
age contractors awarded during the
past three months stand we'll above
She 1921 average an: 5ery close to the
high year of 1919. With such a start
the year 1922 could easily rank ahead
of any year since the beginning Of the
war.
Residential buildings have accounted
for II per cent, or nearly half of all
new construction during the past
three months, whereas during the
years 1919 to 1921 residential con-
struction was only 81 per cent, or
less than one-third Of the total. Home
builders are having first call on the
resources of the construction indus
try.
