BY GENE COIN

DAYTON, Tenn, July %. -
There will be no political hobnails
in the footsteps Of William Jen-
nings Bryan, Jr.
However else he may follow his
famous father, he says that he
hasn't been able to "afford poll
tics" yet. Political rewards are too
meager and the uncertainty IS too
great for q young man trying to
raise a fast-growing family.
Furthermore, he does not follow
his father in such restraints as the
use Of tobacco.
W. J. B., Jr., was really quite a
surprise to this part Of the world,
where W. j. B., Sr., is looked upon
with awe and reverence. W. j, B.
Jr., is just a sociable, chatty young
man who dresses dapperly and
smokes cigarets-and everything.
William Jennings Junior came out
Of California with a wardrobe of
summer sport clothes such as may
be seen at Atlantic City or Santa
Monica.
His pants were of white flannel,
with thin pin stripes; his shirts were
| of soft silk with dotted figures, he
had a jaunty mustache, his shoes
were of the low sport variety with
bands of leather. He would sit at
the counsel table rolling cigaret
in his fingers.
He was debonair-even jaunty.
He did not reflect the grave alpaca
black of the father.
Furthermore, he had spent many
years in Arizona among the frontier
folk and had a frank westernlsm
about him.
But when it came to matters OF
the church the folk recognized at
once the "son of his father"
"No, l have lodged politics." he
commented. The Roosevelts might
! carry on the fathers political tradi-
tions, but not he-yer.

Cost of Poor Construction
Runs High IN Epd, Says
Longacre Head

Although the greatest building
era the country has ever known
stiII Is in fun swing and next year
holds vistas OF continued big bust
ness In the structural trades. Il Is
nevertheless time to view It with
q cautious eye, according to Robert
Beck. president 0f the LOngaere
Engineering & Construction Co.
There is no doubt, said Mr..
Beck today, that In the United
States, as q whole, activity in the
building lines, past and present, Ii

Of the country. WHAT influences
need not be enlarged upon since
it is well known that the War-cre.
ated shortage and our enormously
increased National wealth are the
basic factors.
prosperity show no signs OF abate-
nent. but i is predicted on the
basis Of reliable surveys that In
1925 building operations win In
evolve values in excess of 81, 611,.
100000. and may even s1rpass the
COMMUNICATING total Of the present
year. These figures are predica4ed
upon normal demands springing
out OF the average Increase III

what does this mean? Simply
that within too brief 4 period the
shortcomings OF such Jobs viii re-.
veal themselves with emphasis and
that the public then will look with
diskrust upon the building trade
generally. Among the small con-
tractors and builders are the ones
responsible mostly, az q clAsg, for
siloddy work, particularly where
they operate In suburban or small
town territory subject to few code
restrictions or none at all. but
their negligence will stigmatize
the entire profession.
Our engineers have made inspec-
tons in various parts Of the coull-
try and report conditions that are,
In many Instances, decidedly con.
trary to the ordinary dictates Of
building standards that gives value

ton organizations work upon q
more enlightened basis and are
accustomed to observe the stringent
regulations that must be followed
In carrying out contracts covering

LIME EXPERT SAYS CRASH
WAS DUE TO POOR SAND

K. ]. Zinck, chief engineer for the
National Lime Association, who is
gathering data for the Bureau of
Standards, said that the failure of
construction work in Santa Barbara
was due to the poor mortar, "This
was due to the sand used" he said.
Sand should be clean and sharp,
but there It was dull and dirty, a
bad combination to obtain good re-
suits"
Good mortar becomes so hard and
solid that 1t Is easier to break the
bricks than the mortar binding them
together.

Thirty -ST CRY

New York, Site Of New
Development

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Forty.
Second street, commonly referred

new thirty.stcry building at No.
11.27, 4 structure representing the
| last word In modern skyscraperS.
Located only zoo feet west OF

York Public Library and Bryant
Park, on plot embracing more
sive steel and concrete fireproof
building, with stone, brick ana

retail store and office facilities IN
the heart Of the midtown business
zone. The leasehoId estate. with
the proposed building when COM
pleted, have been appraised at
81, 200, 900. Not only will the struc.
ture In its magnitude dominate the
immediate locality, but 1t will also
add materially to the Importance
and value Of Forty second street
and Fifth avenue as q conspic-
uOusly attractive business and
shopping center.
! The building is to be erected
from plans by York & Sawyer,
architects who designed the Fed
eral Reserve Bank Building, the
Pershing Square Building, and
other important New York business
structures.
1t is to have about SIC 1000 square
feet Of net rentable floor space.
including street level retail store
space aggergating 312 Iineal feet
frontage on Frorty-second and
Forty-third streets. One Of the
features will be plenty Of light aud
spacious offices. Another will be
an arcade connecting with the
present passageways from Forty
third to Forty-fifth streets, thus
providing a continuous route from
Forty-second to Forty-fifth streets
parallel to Fifth avenue.
Fees to property on Forty-second
street are chiefly held by old New
York families, such as the heirs
/ of Elbridge Gerry, Levi p. Morton,
, Charles F. Hoffman, and Eugene
L. Hoffman, whose business policy
! has been to lease properties to
tenants under reasonable ground
rents. Some twenty years ago the
Walter J. Salmon organization be-
gan the work ~ assembling the
various parcels in real estate upon
which the proposed building will
stand, and in 1913 negotiations
were completed with the Eugens
A. Hoffman estate for the leasing
Of the easterly portion Of the site,
followed by the leasing of the
western portion from the Charles
A. Hoffman estate in 1918.
From this 1t will be seen that
the leases Of the site were acquired
prior to the large appreciation
in real estate values due to the out
standing Importance OF the locality
as a business and shopping center.
To provide funds for the con-
struction Of the building, IL West
Forty-second Street, Incorporated.
has sold to a syndicate Of banking
