WHOLESALE PROGRESS

The news that the Delco Light company will expend s10Q,oOO, ,ooo in new buildings near Dayton, O., employing many thousands of new hands, indicates how industry is growing in the middle west. If such a thing happened in New England it would be regarded as q wonderful example of continued prosperity. Incidentally, the DeIco expansion is due entirely 10 exten- siye newspaper advertising. Every merchant can base a neat little mental editorial upon this informa- ton. Incidentally most of this progress is due to the manufacture Of electric refriserators, and the Delco company is owned by Gen. eral Motors.

MERELY \ VACATION

Possibly Of a general strike in the cloak and suit industry in New York is nothing astonishing. Strikes are part of the business. What they really amount to is vacations. The industry is a very seasonable one, with four months Of fast work - including overtime - and the re- mainder of the year nothing much to do. The strikes usually occur during the slack months, enabling all hands to enpoy themselves at the ball games and in the parks without worrying about the state of trade.

AN EDITORS TRIUMPH

Freeing of Editor Carl C. Magee in New Mexico of the charge of homicide was entirely as expected. Here is an editor who has done much good to his state, helping ma terially to reform certain evil prac- tices, including the judiciary. His career has been as remarkable as that Of any fiction hero, and the fact that a bystander was shot and killed while he defended himself against an attack by the judge he had exposed was so plain a case of accidental death that no person of intelligence, except perhaps his enemies. considered any other yer dict possible. Incidentally, the fear that the jury would be "packed' against the editor was groundless New Mexico has not yet descended to such depths.

our advancing age 1t is a sign we still are young enough to take an interest in the advances of scien- tihc building; we still take an in- terest in how things are done, and perhaps mentally figure out how long 1t would have taken to do the same amount of work 80 of 70 years ago, when the practice was for laborers to be employed with pick and shovel.
 Let the crowds look on: IL will do each individual good. Some per haps, not overly busy themselves, like to watch others at work; others. in the majority, can learn something from the little time nee essary to see the big machines work. Many Of us wish we had one hundredth Of the strength in our right arms as that manifested by the arm of the steam shovel!

NO CHANCE FOR NARE

That William S.

WATCHING THE STEAM SHOVEL

It is said in New York that if doesn't take much to attract q street crowd; let q man on Broad way act like fool and he will quickly have half a hundred men taking due notice - or maybe two hundred.
 The psychology of a street crowd is 10 have time to look at anything distinctly novel, something it doesn't see every day.
 We have an instance - indeed, several instances -- in the city at this time. Consider the crowds that daily watch the several steam shovels at work in tho downtown section. There. one might easily say is something to look at! The chug- chugging. the blasts of steam, tho noise 0. rat0ing chains, and dis play Of brdled power at the touch Of the man in the cab--the crowds are as eager to watch the proceed ings as children are delighted to watch q locomotive.
 There is no fault to find with such interest in the most advanced method of making the dirt fly To dislodge dirt on the wholesale plan is one of the carmarhs of our mod crn civilization All skyscrapcrs were started that way: and every big cNcavaung job, from digging q cellar tor tenement house 10 dig gins the Panama canal has rested primarily upon tho ability of man kind. with tho aid of his steam shoyols to load dirt upon trucks in d hurry,

A heart wo are all q little hif like children wo are attracted with novelty We cont see steam show els ol work every day, although in recent years WIG have seen more Of thom in Now Britain than in en- tire decades previously. To many of IS thoro still is something of q novelty about looking at a monster Of steel and iron. with pent up power at 'hr command or a black cncd man at inc throttle, knocking dirt and stone about as if they were chiIdren's playthings.

THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT

l. will have been noticed that ever since Mayor Weld took office there has been deal of activity in the building department h. stead or this being the war depart ment of the administration. it has turned into the efficiency depart ment. Inspector Hennessy, instead of feeling disgruntled or discour- aged at the turn Of political affairs, has shown everybody that he knows something about fcrreting out lack of permits, failure 10 fol- low the letter and spirit Of building permits. and other details Of the office. Inspector Rutherford also has shown the world he is able to do his bit. and was setting fast pace until illness interfered with his ac- tivitios. Never in the history of the city has a department had such a Ieviyl1us of form as the building department had after the new mayor took office, Its activities display a nature to deserve general commcndation and citizens sc"m to be satisfied such efficiency can be maintained now that higher standard has been set.
 The plan of Chairman Leavitt of the building commission 10 make Rutherford chief inspector retain ing Honncssy as deputy, is said 10 be opposed by the mayor. who Is said to believe the office Of as ststant inspector can be eliminated. Considering that The building boom is continuing 10 boom, and that there are many details to look after, it is reasonable 10 assum" that majority Of citizens arc of the opinion that inc two inspectors ought 10 remain on duty Almost every day sees some additional IT, ragularities brought 10 the surface in the building operations through out the city, and a~ tt was recently stated that 7no such operations arc under way. it seems clear that tho field is too much for on. man 10 watch properly
 T. may be-, as tao mayor asserts, that the building boom will not continue indefinitely; but there is every reason 10 believe fl will con- tinue for some time.
