 second laurels but this year he is

Ohls is a nationally known long-distance runner and has trunk full of med als testifying to this fact Prior to coming to Alaska a few years ago he defeated some of the fastest men in the world on the east and west coasts Last year on the Fourth oi July was his first run in a mountain race. The action in going up and down was unusual to him in that all of his previous races had been on the cnder track or across country. It is for this reason that he plans re- maining on the ground until the day of the race. r

FEBRUA 4 BUILDING
MGR ASED IN VALUE
First Gai. in Eleven Months

After ten successive declines in
monthly totals of building permits
Bradstreet's report for construct
ion in February shows a gain when
compared with. the figures Of
February. 1926.
Two explanations of the increase
are offered. One is that February
of 1926 showed a rather marked
decrease after a long period Of
gains and that, in comparison
with February, 1925. two years
ago, decrease is still shown. The
other explanation is that the bulk
of the gain shown is due to ex-
pansion in New York, some of this
expansion being not unconnected
with large supplies of building
materials offered and some of the
continued large supply OF money
available for Investment.

The purple martin OF America is
d favorite in Canada and the Uni

trees. it readily adapts itself to the
nest boxes which are commonly set
up for it, and usually broods about
three times during its stay north.
The male is of glossy blue,
while the female is of duller color
above, and beneath of a brownish
grey. The brood consists of from
four to seven eggs, which develop
into young chipping martins such
as Mr.. LeCompte anticipates.

PLANS TO
CURB SPEEDING
Spring Preparations For
Handling Traffic-Traf-

The most important step in
changes and improvements in

lation of traffic signal lights on

In announcing the proposed ex-
tension of the signal system to
Baltic avenue, Commissioner Cuth-
bert declares he will make it as
safe as the other three Longitude
nal streets, where the light system
regulates travel He proposes to
station police on Baltic avenue, as
was done last summer, prior to
the Inauguration of the signal ser

and the Commissioner expects the
lights to be up and in operation
before summer.

these lights are installed there viii
be slight change made in the
length of time pedestrians are
given to cross the street In Cuth-
bert's opinion, ten seconds is
entirely too short a period for the
amber light to show. Under the
existing regulations, the motorists
have the best of it. People who
have to cross the street do so at
the risk of their lives in the
crowded sections.
The commissioner has realized
the danger of this condition for
months, but until he assumed
charge of the police department he
could do nothing to remedy it.

The extension will provide for
the immediate future, and further
extension of the mains, in
volv.ng niles of service pipe, along

met in West Atlantic City growth
for years to come.
The expenditures, which are
voluntary on the part of the Attain

thousands OF dollars. The work Of
laying the mains has been going
forward steadily in the winter
months in the face of adverse

NO REAL REASON
FOR PEssIMisM
BY BENJAMIN R. FOX.

by BENJAMIN X. FUN.
There are many reasons why
1927 should be quite satisfac-
tory year in construction.
In the first place, both skilled
and unskilled labor is receiving
a larger income than at any
time in our history. making a
spread oil resources into more
channels than ever before, and
by the same token. opening up
new avenues for development in
the way OF comfortable homes
and the Injuries that follow.
This factor in itself has helped
tremendously in maintaining the
momentum which has existed
during the past two or three
years. There is nothing on the
surface to indicate radical
change in this respect.
Another favorable situation is
in the amount of available cap
ital at reasonable rates. This
situation is even better than it
was year ago. And finally, a
survey of the field at present
finds little surplus stocks of ma
terials on hand. This in itself
under ordinary conditions would
give assurance of a satisfactory
flow of business throughout the
year.

Possibilities OF

100 MILES AN HOUR
INSTEAD OF 35
By BENJAMIN r. FOX.


Out of the whirlwind of real es-
tate activity one fact stands out
sharply the increasing tendency
to spread out from the city or town
farther into the open country, and
to the seashore.
This is countrywide tendency.
There is more than one underlying
cause for this movement, but the
one condition which makes such
movement possible is increased mo-
bility. This recent marked increase
in mobility is not due solely to the
automobile in itself (that we have
had for twenty years., but to the
fact that the automobile is now
within the purchasing power of
multitudes of people who could not
heretofore afford such a convey
ance. The prices of automobiles
are lower and the prosperity of the
people greater than ever before
We have about reached the peak
of mobility on the ground. Any
faster travel than we may now
adopt on the ground would be and
is now dangerous to human life.
But We are just starting in the air.

shore, and immense beacon lights
