necessary to change the program and

wrecked as q result of the keen eyes
OF the officers and seamen and the
Tapidity of their gun fire as the ships
cruised over the range.

there was a little falling Off in the
results, but the work of the gun
crews was fast and accurate. The
work OF the men operating the pow

have been most creditable. Most OF
the shots on the second run were
high, due, however. to an error In
spotting, and not attributable to the
men who were actually manning the
guns The work is considered all the
more creditable as 1t was the first
night battle practice in which several

examined did we learn that we had

Ratification of Child Work
Amendment Fought by

ALBANY. N. T.. Feb. with
sentiment in New York State in op-

it seems extremely doubtful that the

ton in their platforms.
Both parts, Immediately after the

question. Governor Smith, for the
Democrats, wants referendum be-
fore the present session ends. Re-
publican leaders, who control the
Legislature, will not grant this re-
quest, but want referendum next

be taken before next year, If then.

BG United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. "a five billion
dollar building shortage exists
throughout the United States. ac-
cording to figures contained in a
survey by the Indiana Lime Stone
Quarrymen's Association, released
today.
THE present year promises TO be
the greatest construction year since
the war. There still remains a
shortage of more than five billion
dollars in all sections Of the coun-
try" Thomas J. Vernia, president
of the association, announced.
Residential Shortage
while few of the largest cities
report surplus of apartment
buildings, the nation as a whole
shows a marked shortage of resi-
dental buildings.
Commercial structures and public
buildings of all types are far behind
requirements, particularly in the
smaller cities and towns. Great ex-
tensions and improvements in rail
road terminals are necessary, and
for the first time since the war rail-
roads are unable to meet the sit
uation.
THE anticipated recession in the
Metropolitan area of fIew York
which showed such remarkable
strides last year should be easily OFF
set by other districts"
Money Plentiful
Vernia said money for building
purposes is as plentiful as last year
when IL per cent Of the national in
come was applied to construction.
Total construction for the whole
country during January was around
