Building ACTIVITY
CONTINUES BRISK
Railroads and Car Builders
Taking Much Lumber, Re-
port Shows.

Considering the season. building
activity continues unusually brisk, in
the opinion of the American Lumber
man.
industrial trade is good and the
railroads and car builders are taking
large quantities OF lumber" the edi-
tor states. Therefore, fundamental.
ly. the demand for lumber Is excellent,
and buyers are continually seeking to
place orders. The only drawback to
trade. however. is that the car short
age remains very severe in most of
the principal lumber producing re-
gtons. with the result that shipments
are limited and deliveries extremely
slow. AS manufacturers do not have
unlimited piling space. the volume of
orders accepted must be held at the
approximate level of possible ship
merts. and the result is that many
in placing orders.
Production Still in Excess.
Production continues in excess Of
either orders or shipments. This con-
dition Is partly due to the desire Of
lumber manufacturers to round out
broken stocks, a condition caused by
heavy demand this year. and also by
the desire of lumber manufacturers
to retain their organization intact
The average large lumber manu-
facturer (S5 per cent Of the lumber
cut in this country is produced by
large manufacturers) employs several
hundred men. and 1T is a difficult and
expensive proposition to break in a
new organization. Consequently
lumber manufacturers are doing
everything they can to continue oper-
ations upon as large a basis as possi-
BILE in order to give their men en-
ployment. Some operators have al
ready gone on part time basis. not
because OF poor market, but because
of inability to make shipments. In
the case Of one large west coast oper-
ator, this action was taken after dis
cussing the question with the en-
ployes. and upon their advice. Lum-
Der prices remain firm"
Decline II shown.
On the face of the reports from the
regional lumber manufacturing as
Manufacturers Association, lumber
declined substantially during the
week ending November 4. Shipments
also declined. but new business in
creased slightly. However. as only
394 mills reported. as compared with
tHe TeNlSeu HUfuUeT Ol flo loE the
preceding week. 1t is not likely that
there was a significant. II any. de-
cine In the volume of production and
shipments. The increase in orders
is. however. emphasized by the fewer
reporting mills.
New business is again in excess of
it's volume at this time last year.
Shipments are substantially less and
production much greater. 1t is
guaranty of trade stability and a
sane market that the steady produc-
ton. despite discouraging shipping
facilities. has now brought the total
production for the year almost to the
total business booked during the
year. Production is well above the
average for November in recent
years. Shipments are "A per cent

Unusual construction difficulties

Connecticut avenue and De Sales
street northwest have resulted in the

triumph over forces of nature. 1t was
learned today. Engineers and build
ers from many cities have been at

A preliminary survey disclosed the
fact that base rock was located
thirty-seven to forty feet below the
surface. An old creek formerly ran
across the property at a considerable
distance below the present surface.
Make Wide Excavation.
This creek and adjoining swamp
had given a great amount of trouble
in the construction of other buildings
throughout this territory, SO the en-
gineers made wide excavation
around the entire tract into which
was placed the outside foundation
wall for the hotel. This wall goes
down to bedrock thirtyseven to
forty feet below the surface and is
sealed into the rock. 1t is thirteen
feet and six inches wide at the base,
tapering upward.
The concrete outside wall. forty
feet high, contains 12.400 cubic yards
of concrete, the various piers which
will support the entire building will

size Of the enterprise.
Wall Fifth Of Mile in Length.
The outside wall is over one-ffth
of a mile in total length and incloses
an area of practically one and one
half acres. All interior columns in
the building will rest on large con-
crete caissons four by six feet,
reaching down to bedrock, and each
carrying a load of over 200 tons, with
some columns carrying a load of over
40 tons.
BY carrying an outside foundation
wall down to bedrock and sealing ii
all danger is eliminated from flow
Of water from the outside. Such
water as may creep in through the
rock at the bottom will be cared for
in 4 specially constructed sump PIT,
In this manner the engineers have
solved every problem that might
arise from water.

Use of RAYS by Flowers.

Do flowers use rays not visible to
the human eye to attract insects to
them? Certain insects can spot ultra
violet light that cannot be seen by
man, and some blossoms, in addition to
their ordinary brilliant hues, vary in
the kind of short light rays that they
emit.
Prot. F. X. Richtmyer Of Cornell
university told the Optical Society of
America, meeting at the bureau OF
standards in Washington recently, that
these invisible rays may guide pollen
bearing insects to the flowers in their
search for honey. Giving signals in
rays shorter than the deepest violet
that we can see brings the flowers the
polien that is necessary to it in pro-
ducing seed. Experiments made by
Professor Richtmyer on Colorado flow
ers show that flowers apparently differ
In their reflection of ultraviolet as
much as in their visible colors.
