IMPROVED BUILDING
SERVICE DEMANDED
incompetent Contractors to
Be Put Under Ban in
+! Drive to Stop Delays.
BY j. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 24.-Service
is going to be put into the building in
dustry as a major requirement IL the
General Contractors of America can
bring it about. Defaults and delays on
construction projects not only have
caused a huge economic loss in the
last year, but are serving to check the
volume of building in prospect for
1924, according to delegates to the con-
ventiou of the organization in session
now at Chicago.
To remedy this situation, commit
tee of the contractors decided today to
create conditions which would cause
bonding companies to bar incompetent
and irresponsible contractors from un-
dertaking operations and reduce the
price paid by the public for contract
guarantees, according to specially
authorized dispatch to the writer today
from officials of the organization.
Road Builders to Help.
\ conference shortly will be held to
discuss the entire situation in which
construction companies, engineers and
representatives of bonding organiza-
tionS will take part. Should some CO.
operative action fail to modify exist
ing conditions, the committee decided
tion of bond premium rates and estab-
liShment of competition in the contract
surety field. Members of the American
Road Builders Association and of the
Association of State Highway Officials
are expected to cooperate.
These figures indicated an increase
of more than 1000 per cent in twenty
years in the rate on contract bonds.
and delegates declared this was proof
of the increasing number of bad
bonds
More Winter building Desired.
Methods by which difficulties en-
countered in winter building are
overcome were exhausttvely dis
cussed by the delegates. Engineers
declared that methods of construction
had so improved that even reinforced
concrete construction could be car
ried on without loss of time except
under most severe weather condi-
tions. Winter building. 1t was
pointed out. gained advantage from
the better supply of labor in the win
ter months, while the men employed
benefited through steady, continuous
work, and the contractor is able to
tighten the burden of overhead which
becomes oppressive in dull periods.
A tremendous volume of work is
expected in the next three months in
order to complete apartment houses
now in course of construction for
renting and occupancy by May l,
when the renting season is at it's
height. In the Chicago district the
most comprehensive construction pro-
gram ever known will be begun at
the first possible moment that the
continued scarcity of building trade
workers there will permit. Just at
the close of last year skilled men be-
came so scarce in that section that
work had to be suspended on several
big projects. Contractors expect more
than S500,006,000 worth of building
will be begun in Chicago this year.

 Standing Sitting Standing Dive
 Follow the same line of procedure ur to the point of sitting on the board. As soon as you come down in the sitting position, bounce up (the spring board gives at the slightest movement) into 6 vertical standing position. The min ute you are on your feet, cast the body upward and out into a curve and come down in vertical diving position.
 This is not the standing sitting standing dive we Berlos demonstrate ir our act at the Bijou but it is what advise you to try at first. .sl.
 Aside from the benefits these dives will net you so far as your arching youl back, they bring into play all the mus cles of the arms, sh5ulaers back ana chest. That flabby fieshiness which Ii so detrimental to beauty of line is en tirely done away with. A;supple firm ness takes it's place. Arching the bacl constantly gives it the graceful lines beauty calls for and also tends to make the diver draw in her stomach. The result is a small waistline that symetri cally joins the limbs and torso.
 Tomorrow's article will deal prin cipally with the remainder of the dives not requiring somersaults and half cir cles,

Death Due To Natural Causes,
 CorOner's Verdict

Albert c. ,Echols, age g, of 112h Twentieth street, south, was found dead in vacant lot between Twenty eighth and Twenty-ninth street, Thursday morning. He died from unknown causes and not from violence" accord ing to Coroner J. D. Russum in signing the death certificate Thursday.
 Death is thought to have come about 8 o'clock Wednesday night when Echols was returning home from work. x After examining the body Thursday, Coroner Russun1 stated that he did not believe that death was due to wood alcohol, and Echols, according to his family, was not a, heavy thinker.
 The body was found by James Hood and s. E. Murphy. A small bottle was found by his side, but an analysis of it's contents failed to reveal poison.
 Funeral services were held at 6 o'clock Thursday evening from Johns chapel. The remains will be sent to Decherd, Tenn, Friday morning for interment.
 Echols is survived by his widow, three daughters, Misses Bulah, Eleanor and Mable Echols; four sons, Stanley, Lipscomb, Bob and Jack Echols, all of Birmingham

The Back Handspring

At first your weight will be on your neck and shoulders keep elevating your body un- til you are standing on your hands. Hold your position with your back arched, as showd in the illustration. Cast off, feet first.
 This is difficult, because your arms must be sufficiently strong to bear your weight. A very excellent exercise for arm and shoulder development is walk l ing by the. hands on suspended rings. Chinning the bar is another. All gym nasiums feature these.
 The Handspring Drop into a handspring position at the end of the board. Throw your body upward and out and describe a half circle in the air, striking the water feet first. e

CITY H SEEKING
 TO RECOVER TAX
Injunction Proceeding Friday Against County To Tie
 Up Funds

The city commission will attempt tc enjoin the county board of revenue from expending the proceeds of the county road tax, Friday morning be. fore Judge William Walker in chancery court in it's suit to recover its share of the tax-$2O0, ,0O0-which has been due the city for several years.
 The litigation arose when the city declared it would not pay $300,O00 due the county for joint road work; but instead would give a receipt for the S200,000 and owe it the rest.
 w. J. Wynn, city attorney, went to the courthouse Thursday morning to argue the demurrers filed by the county attorney, Ernest Matthews, to the injunction petition but the hearing was postponed.
 According to Wynn, the city feels confident it VII win its suit for it's share of the road tax and wants to tie up the money in the county treas ury so it cannot be diverted. Unless the county money is enjoined, the city fears there will be nothing for the city to recover in case it is awarded a judgment in the suit now pending.
 When first brought to court the case went on up to the supreme court of Alabama where an opinion was handed down in favor of the city.
