WINTER BUILDING
 PROBLEMS SOLVED
Constructors Say Work Is Now
 A Conquered Peak

New York. Jan. 80, - Con structors say midwinter building has become conquered peak. First scaled successfully after years of effort in the winter of 1928, they report that during the present win ter they will go 1923 enough bet ter 10 make the conquest perma- nent.
 The business world, watching the climbers from below, already sees the effect in an early easing of sea- sonal unemployment in both the building trades and the field Of building supply, in relieving of the housing shortage, and in a better stablizing of the building industry as a whole by distributing the old breaking seasonal loads over a full l2-month period.
 Dwight L. Hoopingarner, eXecu- tive. American Construction Council, In describing some of the new as- poets of winter construction, says:
 This greater stabilization has been secured by relatively simple methods. Experience has shown that work on large buildings, whether of steel, masonry or con crete construction, can be conduct cd with safety in temperatures down to 20 or 25 degrees above zero.
 After that, salamanders to pro- vide heat, tarpaulins to keep 1t, and hanging scaffolds to hold men and materials where they are needed, have solved the problem of keeping out the cold and frost and permit ting winter operations 10 go ahead in many cases at more even tenn ueratures and greater economy. Records ot contractors over periods of years have shown an average of about II days, with scarcely over 31 days maximum In any one year in which the weather necessitated that the precautions of winter building be taken
 Mir. Hoopingarner advises the building investing public to recog. nize the necessity of exercising special care in securing responsible and thoroughly skilled architects engineers and contractors in the performance of winter work.
 Four percent more contracts were let for new building In the first Il months Of 1924, ended Nov. 30 than in the full F months of 192E in the 55 states covered by tht Dodge Reports, says MT. Hoopin garner. The total figure for the | months was s4,100, 100000. Com pared with the same Il months O. 1923, the increase was 1S percent With prices in the main slightly lower than the year before, he say! the comparisons are conservative.
 Mir. Hoopingarner finds winter ac tivity producing relative increas' in prices, although prices for tn year as a whole show slight de crease. Previous to last year tn winter demand for materials va relatively small, Tt Is well to not the fact" he observes, "that with greater volume of winter construc tion there will be a tendency to ward higher relative prices for ma terials, and possibly for labor, thaI have been considered normal to the winter season. Such a condi ton, however, will not vitiate tn basic advantages of winter work,

Madagascar Exploration
 Completed by Frenchman

Paris, Jan. 3Q.-M, Barrabe, 2 geologist and member of the French Ecole Normale, who was sent on an official geological mission to Mada- gascar. has returned to France after spending three months on the island
 He travelled extensively in the Ma iunga region, and brought back nu- merous samples from the carboni- ferrous lands. The coal beds do not appear to be as important as those of Indo-China, and it would appear that the bituminous sands and pe- troeum fields of Madascar are much more important than the coal beds.

FEEDING PLANS.
German Restaurants to have Movies
 On the Premises.

Hamburg, Jan. 30.-German hotel and restaurant proprietors are con- sidering the possibilities of movtr g pictures on the premises as pro- ducers of trade. They argue that as there are no free passes to the mov- les, a condition that prevails largely among the theatres, the man who goes to the movies probably has money to spend for refreshments. Hence, if they could once get him on the lot, they would stand a fair chance of selling him something more than his movie ticket.
