TRACTORS USED IN LOGGING
Have Displaced Ancient Methods a.
the Mahogany Fields Are Be-
coming Depleted.

Tractors are being used In increas-
ing numbers in the mahogany industry
IN British Honduras, according to q
report to the Department Of Commerce
from Consul EARLY, Belize. For over
200 years there has been a more or
less successful exploitation Of the ma
hogany and cedar forests by means
Of primitive although expensive meth
eds. but with the depletion of easily
accessible timber more modern meth
DDS Of logging are required for pront'
able exploitation.
The result has been an increase In
the use Of tractors for hauling logs.
The largest mahogany contractor in
British Honduras has invested nearly
100000. in tractors manufactured In
the United States during the present
mahogany season With the use Of
about sGeventy tractors this operator
expects to get ont about 5000, 900 feet
board measure. Several other compa:
MES are also using tractors. 1t il e.
timated that about seventy-nvs trac-
tors have been imported In the past
twelve months fer hauling logs.

NEAT PIECE OF MECHANISM
Clock in San Diego, Calf, Sc
Adjusted as to Tell the Time
In Many Lands

There Is wonderful clock In San
Diego, Calf, which tells the time In
all nations at the same moment. That
is to say, 1t gives the time in nearly a
score Of the principal cities of the
world. 1t has twenty dials, four of
them four feet In diameter and the
rest smaller ones on the faces of the
larger ones. 1t also gives the hour.
minute and second Of San Diego time
and the day of the week and day of
the month. 1t is twenty-one feet high
and is considered by many to be the
largest and best-built street clock any
where In the United States.
The master clock is inclosed in
plate glass at the bottom of the ped
estal, and the intricate parts and com
plicated action are plainly visible. It
was made In one shop, and cost $1,000.
Fifteen months were required to con-.
struct and finish it. The jeweling is of,
very fine tourmaline, agate, Jade and
topaz. The motive power is 200
pound weight, and the clock winds It.

markets which are held in the agri-
cultural districts. The eggs are sold
In lots of $500 In this case. Each bid
der has a numbered seat provided
with push button and electric wiring
that goes to the sellers stand. A large
dial is set up here and IT contains fig-
ures around 1t ranging from lowest to
highest prices. Near it is board with
corresponding sets of figures and each
one of these can be lighted up by an
electric lamp. The seller explains the
nature of the goods and then makes a
contact to a motor device so that the
hand moves very slowly over the dial.
When at a certain figure, bidder
presses his button and this lights up
the corresponding figure on the board
and the hand stops. Then 1t goes on
again and second bidder can indi-
cate larger figure, and so on. The
board shows at once which is the high
est figure bid and an electric register
also indicates the number Of the seat
occupied by the bidder.

UNEMPL OYMENT IN
BUILDING NEXT YEAR
American Construction Council
Predicts Serious Situation De-
veIoping in Industry.

New York.--With the country
SIS, 1000, O00,000 behind in its building
construction since 1914 and the past
years record 40 per cent below nor
NAL productivity, members of the
American Construction Council, in
conference here predicted serious
situation of unemployment in the In
dustry next year unless the program
prescribed by them is pursued.
The plan, as outlined in statement
by Franklin D. Roosevelt, president
of the council, and approved by Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover, provided
for:
The gathering by special depart
ment of the construction council data
from constructors and material manu-
facturers, special statistics obtained
from Government sources through the
Department Of Commerce, and infor-
nation concerning the industry from
chambers of commerce throughout
the United States.
These figures, analysed and sim
plified by council experts, will form
the basis of weekly forecast of con-
struction conditions, so far as demand
and availability of material is con-
cerned.
Information as to the availability of
labor, skilled and unskilled. for the
building industry throughout the
country will be obtained from the
Labor Department.
The forecast to be issued, though
national in its scope, will also set
forth conditions prevailing in particu-
lar sections of the country.
These general forecasts will be dis
tributed on Monday of each wee
through the press, and in addition the
council will publish at nominal
price bulletin containing in greater
detail the reports and data upon
which the forecast is based.
