Residents in the vicinity of Dupont

their efforts before Justice Stafford in
the District Supreme Court to prevent
the building of an apartment house
eighty-tive feet high at 2100 Massa-

showed the court that a triangular
portion out of the center of the block
to be covered by the apartment had
not been properly reZoned and the
building thereon may not exceed fifty
five feet in height.
Both sides gave notice of an ap-
peal the residents because the court
did not enjoin the building entirely.
and the corporation because it would
have to change materially its plans
to conform to the ruling of the court.

national subsidy" and it adds that I'll
local interests justify the substituting
OF land reclamation, the subsidy
should be local."
The farming interests OF the country
are not asking for any advantages over
other industries. but there has been
an unmistakable demand for credit
facilities on an equal footing with the
industrial concerns in the manufact-
uring areas. The problems OF the
farmers are now concerned very
largely in the proposed reforms in
marketing. Another big bstacle is in
the high cost OF transportation. Div
inc and economic laws have been in
operation in the interest OF the farm
err. but how these will be supplement
ed by political laws that will improve
marketing conditions and reduce the
cost Of transportation is a problem for
the future. Up to date the congress
Of the United States has been unable
to solve the puzzle.

The Cost of Construction

Reports of a depression in the con-
struction industry of the country are
denied by the United States Depart
ment OF Commerce which furnishes
statistics showing that the value OF
contracts let in the past eight months
are from ten to fifteen per cent great
r than in the same period last year
Cement shipments have increased
over twenty-one per cent and the lum-
Der business shows a most satisfact-
Dry condition. The cost of construc-
ton has been lowered throughout the
country, but because man need not
pay as much for putting up new
building does not signify that there
is any depression in building. As a
matter of fact there is more building
now being done than year ago, and
the only difference in the operations
that are shown by the official Stats
tics is that the cost OF construction
has been coming down. Contractors
and builders who have been paying
plasterers and brick layers as high as
twelve to fifteen dollars a day in east
ern cities feel that they can suffer"
a lowering of costs.

The Railroad Labor Board

The Railroad Labor Board appears
tc be entirely deserted, and none OF
the three principal candidates for pres
ident will come to its defense. When
the Board was organized it was cloth
ed with powers to investigate disputes
between capital and labor. But it was
given no authority TO enforce its de-
crees. AS a result its decicions have
not been effective. 1t is in fact sort
OF mock-court affair. Messrs. Cool
idgc, Davis and La Toilette have sug-
gested methods that would either en-
tirely change the Board. or abolish it.
The organized railroad brotherhoods
have all along opposed railroad
labor court, and the railroad managers
have been equally antagonistic to any
Federal agency with powers to issue
mandatory DEGREES. As a result the
hearing controversies and in issuing
orders that no one had to pay any
attention to unless they wanted to.
The makeshift creation finds itself de-
serted at the very beginning of the
Presidential campaign.

Corn and Corn Land

1T is not likely that good corn land
will ever again be available at the
pFice which it can now be purchased,
is statement made by Guy Huston,
OF Chicago, one OF the principal farm
loan bankers of the United States Mr..
Huston says that in 1910 corn syrup
was exported in pints and gallons, but
now it is shipped to the old world in
tank steamers. He adds that " the
use OF corn oil, corn starch, sugar
and other corn products is increasing
by leaps and bounds and in his OPP
inion THE amount consumed is limit
ed only by the supply" After four
bumper crops Mr. Huston says no
surplus of corn remains, and that
there is prospect of shortage OF
ten per cent in this years crop. One
of his most interesting observations
is that an analysis OF a number Of
countries in the corn belt shows more
than one-haf of the farms clear OF
mortgages and that less than FIVE per
cent Of these farm owners are heavily
involved in Indebtedness but al
most every country bank has some OF
their frozen paper" he adds, "and
their condition is generally known
throughout the community, all OF
which has a depressing effect He
says that this will be remedied in time
and that when these few farms have
gone into strong hands, the farmer
wanting to buy good corn belt farm
is going to have to look long and pay
high" Opinions like the above are
shared by that part OF the business
world that has watched the develop
ment OF manufacturing corn products
into food materials. The country's
best informed bankers and business
men are beginning to believe that
corn prices and the prices of corn
land will continue to increase.

Princely Hysteria

The Prince OF Wales came to Wash

family. The streets in front OF the
White House were lined with auto
mobiles parked at the outer curbs
The roadway leading up to the White
House was lined with thousands OF
people anxious to see the Prince. 1t
was a peaceful scene until the police
decided TO chase men. women and
children out OF the White House
grounds and to clear the Avenue in
front OF the White House OF its auto
mobiles. After American citizenship
was sufficiently insulied, the Prince
rolled by in handsome limousine and
was welcomed at the Identical White
House which his ancestors burned
more than a century ago. But no
one was unkind enough TO lay that
ancient circumstance to the royal Wis
itor The hysteria over the Prince.
and resentment towards the police,
was shori-lived. because on that very
afternoon the Washington ball team
achieved its greatest victory for years,
and the royal hysieria was supplanted
by an American hysteria such as only
the great game OF base ball can pro-
duce.
