Failure Is Predicted
Although Chancellor Stresemann's s
four party coalition was being resus-
ciated this morning .Reichstag circles
professed to have little hope that 1t
could long retain office and were of
the opinion that dictatorship was
only question of time. The chancel-
lors plans for a non-partisan cabinet
of four ministers have been laid aside
not only because the coalition leaders
were desirous of preserving party in
terests and prestige but also because
the chancellor met with discourage
ment in his attempts to find men for
the places. He found that none of
the industrial experts whom he ap-
preached was anxious to enter a min
istry that would inevitably have on
its hands a battle with the Reichstag.
He Is also said to have been advised
that the national legislature must be
eliminated from the situation before
internal reconstruction could be SER
fously undertaken.

WITH PRICES UP,

Contractor Predicts Scarcity

SOUTH BEND. Ind, Aug. 28.-
With the cheapest grade of pine

Millions of feet of lumber from

'ther northern Indiana cities are
being reclaimed and reconverted
nto building material instead of be-
ng cat into firewood, as has been
the practice in recent years.
An old residence recently torn
down here was found to contain
yellow popular and oak boards
which today would cost $4,000 IL
purchased from lumber dealers.
Fully seventy-five per cent of this
lumber was saved and now is being
placed in q house, which when COM
pleted will have valuation of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
Rare Lumber Found.
A number of yellow poplar boards
sixteen to eighteen feet in length
and twenty -four to thirty-two inches
in width, were found in the old
structure. Lumber Of this character
is now practically unobtainable and
according to sawmill men and llim.
Der dealers, boards of this character
are worth not less than $500 per
1000 board feet.
In another instance 5000 feet OF
one inch ash flooring was taken
1 from an old structure. Al retail
lumber dealer placed a valuation
of 5000 on this material.
Short length boards. formerly re-
garded of little value and inyari-
ably converted into firewood, are

Predicts Steel Houses.
One local contractor has gone so
far as to make the prediction II at
within q few years houses generally
will be made Of pressed steel. This
form Of construction, he says, will
have certain advantages over 1um-
Der In that IL win be fireproof. can
be more easily painted and can be
converted into shapes now prac-
tically impossible in using wood.
In addition, he points out, the
steel will last much longer than
wood and construction Of this char
acter will make moving of such
houses without damage an easy
matter. The steel, he says, will be
particularly adaptable to buildings
of the bungalow design.
According to this contractor steel
manufacturers already are working
on the idea.
