LONDON, July 14.-Superpower de-
Selopment is necessary in the United
States in order to maintain the high
standard of living in that country,
Guy E., Trip, chairman Of the board
of directors of the WESTINGHOUSE
Electric and Manufacturing Company,
New York, today told the world

here.
Mr.. Trip explained that more and
cheaper electric power was what the

superpower development, he said. is

m alntained that government owner

pllshment. Government-owned super

furnish electric power at lower costs

owned systems.
Substitute For Steam.
"SuperpoWer," the speaker said
should replace a large portion of the
steam power which is now used and
which still furnishes perhaps one-half
ct the power used in the United
Extensive plans are already under
way, 1t was explained, for a practical
determination of the extent to which

farms A considerable area in one
of the great farming districts of the
northwest is to be equipped with an
adequate distribution system, and
with the cooperation of the farmers
experiments will be carried out on

New Era in Industry.
The vision of the electric power
leaders is so broad and conprehen-
siVe,' said Mr.; Trip, that it marks
a new era in the application of
power to industry; and, If they are
allowed to go ahead without undue
obstruction, we may look forward in
a comparatively few years to prac-
tically a nationwide superpower sys-

June prices. although many classes
of Southern pine registered material
advances. While the decline in struc-
tural steel continued, it was not so
marked as in June. Common brick
was slightly lower in some Middle
Atlantic cities. Other starting ma
terials were unchanged. except in
Atlanta, where some advances were
recorded.
Wage scales for skilled craftsmen
in the building trades have held gen.
orally firm. In many cities advances
have been accorded the workers since
Spring. There are, of course. isolated
cases where reductions have been
made. but these have been confined
largely to small centers where op-
erations have been light. The pay
ment of bonuses has been quite
largely eliminated, although this
costs. as the bonuses have been alb
sorbed in the advancing wage scales.

While other cities in the East
showed during July last losses in
building construction, as compared
with the same month year ago. this
city showed remarkable gains, ac-
cording to survey made in 324 cities
by :. W. StrauS G. Co. The gain here
was marked, the figures showing an
increase of 143 per cent.
The national building survey
showed that the building permits
issued and plans filed in the 324 cities
gave an increase over July a year
ago of between 2 and 3 per cent The
experts who made the survey say
building throughout the country on
the whole continues toward more
normal levels.
Unusual Activity In South.
The only region which reported un-
usual activity for Midsummer was
the South, where 55 cities and towns
showed gain of approximately 35
per cent. The next most active re-
gion was the Central West, where LOG
cities reported a gain over last July
of per cent. The Eastern and Pa
cific Western regions showed losses
of and per cent respectively.

the 324 cities was $25S.027,5S4, COM

The July gain in the rs leading
cities, where the country'S building
has been conferred for more than a
Year, was negligible, and the loss in
these centers of population from June
this year was about Rsr cent.
A few large cities, however. con-
tinued to report marked building
activities and gains over last July.
Oakland. Calf. had an increase of

This is an extremely compact floor
plan and from 1t has been built an
exterior of distinct charm. The house
can be made Of shingles instead of
clapboards, though the cost would be

lived in only in the Summer, the cost
OF building would be much less than
If it was intended for occupancy the
year round. II only to be used in the
Summer. it should be provided with
shutters fastened securely from with
in for winter protection. These shut
ters can be turned into most deco
rative feature by painting or staining
them some such color as verde green
peacock blue or dull orange.
Another feature capable of giving
the house an attractive exterior is
the use of lattice, either as strips be-
side the windows, upon which vines
may climb: as simple arches over a
path, as a shield over a southern win
dow to shut out too strong light, or
as a low fence dividing front and
back yards or separating this from
the neighbors' property. Thus the
