Hollow Tiles Tested by
us. Bureau of Standards

Tests showing how much load hollow
tile walls can carry are described In
Technologic Paper No. 23S issued by
the bureau of standards. The docu-
ment contains the results of 80 tests
on walls of hollow tile. These walls
were 4 feet long by IL feet high and
were 9, and IL inches thick, repre-
senting the outer wall OF house.
Among other results these tests
showed that a wall with the hollow
spaces or cells of tile set vertically
is nearly twice as strong as one In
which the cells are placed horizontally.
"wasteful use of building materials,
with consequent Increase Of construc-
tion costs and rents, Is often due to
lack of knowledge of how much load
these materials can safely bear" says
a statement by the bureau. "ThIs sltu-
alton prompts architects, contractors
and the trainers OF building codes to
call for an amount Of material they
know will be safe. without knowing
whether or not II Is excessive.
avoidance OF such waste can be
brought about by furnishing the build
ing industry with reliable data as to
the strength Of the different materials
used and Of the different types Of con-
struction. 20 that each piece Of ma
terlal entering into the construction
OF the building can carry all the load

International Mercantile Marine
 Feels Competition

New York. June 2-Scrious compc- tition from goyernmcnt-uWncd steam ships operated regardless of financial results. was blamed for the poor showing of the International Mcrcan- tile Marine company in 1928. by r. A. s. Franklin. president. in a report to stockholders today.
 Mir Franklin estimated that opera tions Of the company and it's subsi- diaries. the American line, Rcd Star line. White Star line. Atlantic Trans port line and I.eyland line. would re- suit in deficit for the year Of s1.- fS9,9ei. exceeding the 1922 deficit by about s40U,hU0. On the basis Of divi- dends received from subsidiaries. how ever, the company will have an eSti- mated surplus for 1923 of S79i.96S. as compared with s3.G99.149 in 1922.
 Until the political situation in Europe materially improves and the present serious economic conditions are corrected" MT. Franklin said, ''it is impossible to expect resumption of normal interchange Of freight and pdSSt0EtF lEdIIlt between the GOun- tries of the world. As there really has been no improvement abroad. ~..c business of the companies has been both difficult and unsatisfactory.

 ''lt is too early to predict results for 1924, but so far they have been more satisfactory. We are hopeful, that with an improvement in conditions in Europe there will follow a general revival of business -nd trade through out the world
 Operating expenses in thc shipping industry are not decreasing. Mir. Franklin explained. because of the higher labor and fuel costs. The amount charged off for depreciation on the company's steamships last year, exceeded it's profits by about s. ono.no0.

FRENCH CABINET
 CRISIS CONTINUES
Socialists Unsettled-- d--MOfe POli-
 tics Than Policy
By the Associated Press.

Paris June 2.-The cabinet crisis seemed but little nearer settlement this morning.
 The congress of the socialist party still had eighteen speakers on schedule last night when it adjourned. A com mittee passed the. night in drafting alternative resolutions for the congress to act on, one expressing the party $ willingness to participate in the new government of the left and the other for merely supporting such govern ment.
 Meantime the radicals are obliged to mark time. for they can do nothing until they know what the socialists are decided upon. Up to the present the only thing the left bloc seems agreed upon is in laying an interdict upon President Millerand, and even here NJ. Herriot, radical chief and prospective premier, is unwilling to commit him. self too far.
 The political sages are inclined to fercsee a long period in which there will be more politics than policy. The parliamentary left bloc, they say, is showing many signs Of cracking, and considerable negotiation will be re- quired before its component parts can be made to work together as coher- ent majority.
 M Franklin Bouilon is said to have refused to sit in the same group with Albert Dalimier, in consequence of in- cidents arising between them during the elections, and to have resolved to leave the radical party.
 Andre Marty, communist deputy and Black Sea mutineer, s soon as he set foot in the chamber today, was sighted by the conservative deputy, Bertrand, who soundy boxed his ears, saying he was acting on behalf Of the veterans association.
