BIZ Times Special .
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-A loss Of
approximately $500, 600, 900 in build
ing operations throughout the
United States for the year 1926 as
compared with 1926 is indicated from
reports Of building permits issued In
the leading cities and towns of the
country and made public yesterday.
These reports, made to S. w. Straus
& co. by the various building depart
ments, revealed losses in the aggre-
gate Of approximately 5 per cent.
While the reports for the current
month are not yet complete, it was
pointed out that there is nothing in
the situation to show that they
would a%ppreciably change the years
building losses as now indicated and
it is expected that the Nations
twelve months building program
will approximate $4,000, 900, 900 as
compared with $500, 900, 900 last
year.

Some Cities Gain

While the loss in building opera
tons thus runs into a large amount
in the aggregate, the slowing down
processes now at work are not of
sufficient consequence to prove a dis
turbing factor, it was said. In many
Of the larger cities, the S. w. Straus
& Co. figures show activities slightly
ahead of last year. Building opera
tons in the five boroughs of greater
New York are expected to exceed
one billion dollars, which means that
about one-sixth Of all the building of
the United States is now within the
confines of New York City. Chicago,
where building operations will this
year run close to four hundred mil
lion dollars. or about on the same
level as last year, will account for
more than 6 per cent Of the Nations
total building. Gains Of considerable
consequence also = Indicated in De
trOit. San Francisco, Newark, Pitts
burgh, Milwaukee, Seattle, Albany
and Buffalo.
Many of the suburbs Of the larger
cities have made remarkable records.
Yonkers and Mt. Vernon, n. Y, are
included among the twenty-five lead
ing building cities. The latter led the
country, in point Of increase, with a
gan of 101 per cent.

Week in Review

During the past week, in fact for
the first fifteen days of December,
hog receipts in the eleven principal
markets have been 100, 900 less than
the same period a year ago.. Recent
ly a decrease has been observed in
the supply of cold storage products
and lard. There has been a decrease
in the eastern shipping demand and
Chicago's receipts last Monday were
the greatest Of any day since last
January. The first two days of the
week porkers lost 80 cents, but have
since regained most Of this. The
quality of hogs being received at the
indianapolis market is exceedingly
good.
The supply Of cattle has increased
during the week just closing, but
with a heavier demand prices have
not dropped. The holiday trade
seems well supplied, with unwelcome
prospects for heavy receipts next
week. The butcher cattle market
has been steady.
Vealer calves have been better for
the week.
The local market has had the big
gest receipts Of sheep in recent years.
Prices here compare f%avorably with
other markets. The last week they
lowered approximately 81. with little
indication of recovery before the
first of the year.

BY REX COLLIER.

~ OIL. EMMER BRADLEY
COPE, soldier. artist, mete-
orologist, civil engineer, in
~. ventor and philosopher, held
joint celebration at his
home in Gettysburg Friday.
The venerable nonagenarian cele-
brated not only his ninety second
birthday anniversary but also his re-
appointment for a term of two years
as superintendent OF Gettysburg Ma
tional Military Park.
In recommending to Secretary Of
War Davis that Col. Cope's tenure
of Office be extended It was reported
through official channels that he is
physically and mentally able to con-
tinue his duties in a satisfactory and
efficient manner"
The officials who rendered that re-
port were not influenced by senti-
ment. They merely stated in a for
NAL way. for purposes of record, what
everybody in Gettysburg and thou
sands of tourists to the bloody bat
tlefield already know.
This remarkable gentleman. of
sturdy Quaker parentage, did not re-
ceive his friends by extending a pal
sled hand from a cushioned armchair.
Contrarywfse he met them more than
half way with a. hearty grip, and
later set his six-foot husky hulk down
to as complete and appetizing g. din.
ner as ever graced the table of
Pennsylvania husbandman.
Nlflety.two years OF clean living,
featured by gallant and meritorious
services" on the field of battle and
long career of distinguished activity
in time of peace, have rewarded Col.
Cope with the priceless gifts Of good
health, sound sleep--and longevity.
The colonel would be news even
though the War Department had not
seen fit to make him chief executive
of Gettysburg's 3,000-acre field of
honor and superintendent Of a force
of Al men--soine Of them more than
half century younger than he.
All his life a. sumner of personal
publicity, Col. Cope has been logged
relentlessly by scribes intrigued by his
unique personality. Any, citizen near
ing the century mark who can hold
two important Government positions
at once, boast of two inventions. dis
play creditable works of art done by
mis- own hand and point to a score of
equally interesting accomplishments
is worth a. story any time.
Col Cope is such a citizen.
IN addition to being superintendent
of the battle-ground reservation, he is
a cooperative observer for the United
States Weather Bureau. He maintains
in the back yard of his quantity fur
nished brick residence in the heart
of the city miniature weather sta
ton, equipped with the usual instru-
ments for recording temperature pre-
cipitation and other weather pkenom-
ena. Each night, after completing
his labors for the day in his military
park office, he studies these instru-
ments carefully and records his find.

ton for this service, rendSftng It sole.

A ROUND 10 o'clock that night,
"A Arthur Kemmer walked up
handsome, shadowy street. He knew
that he was about to do foolish
thing. For little fool of a girl; a
girl with whom, too, he had only
perfunctory acquaintance; a girl with
whom. moreover, he had no desire TO
become better acquainted!
It was true that in a way he was
self protected. What a poor devil of
a, hobo. or any stranger, could not do
without inevitable disaster, Arthur
Kemmer, member Of the Rotary, Com
nlercial, University. Architectural, Art
and other clubs, might do on 10.to-7

Caught entering the Westby resi-
dence in the absence of son, mistress
and servants, he could offer any one
of several excuses.
He could protest that he thought he
was entering the house of friend.
pleading his six brief months knowl-
edge OF the town. Or he. could pre-
tend, delicately, that he was little
under the weather. He could call
upon half a hundred friends to help
him by their united testimony that
he had never done such a thing be-
fore. that he was not the sort of per-
son TO be a lawbreaker. They would
say. and believe, that he must have
been i'll.
And there was the good old am
nesia bunk One must have q certain
amount of social standing to use that
with success. But he had the stand

It was true that he hoped most sim
cerely that he would need neither
yarn nor friends. Indeed, had he ac-
tually feared the worst, he would have
been far from this old, tree-shadowy
street. He had, as has been said,

be said of Col. Cope that he is the

clear mind It was this possession
which gave him the right to disap-
prove of girls like Linny
Linny was one of g. long line, a
horde, with whom he had come into
contact during the recent few years.
He had met them in offices. street
cars, restaurants. factories. theaters
and even on the rare occasions when
he went to church with his mother
back in his home town farther East.
At intervals, when in a congenial
crowd, or even alone. he had pondered
seriously on what kind. of children
would issue from such mothers. Not
his children, he had declared.
He knew why he was doing this
foolish action this night. He had fea-
