NEW CONSTRUCTION.
KEEPS H|GHLEvEL
Volume, While Slightly Below
Year Ago, Indicates
Little Decline.

The volume of construction of all
kinds now in progress throughout the
United States, while slightly below
that attained during the preceding
year, is continuing at high levels. and
there is no likelihood of a serious de-
cline to be seen for many months. in
the opinion of the National City Bank
OF New York.
In the November statement by this
organization the firm states that con-
tracts sawarded during August and
September were somewhat under the
figures of these two months of 1926,
hut that during the first eight months
OF this year the dollar contract total
throughout the country was but ! per
cent below that for the same period of
1925 and per cent ahead of the cor
responding period of 1925.
While foreseeing no reduction in
wages of building trades workers in
the near future. the National City
Bank estimates that the recently
gradual decline in building material
prices has brought that item to about
per cent below the September fig
ures of 1926.
'The trend of building this wear"
It is pointed out. 'is illustrated by the

O. KS FAMILIAR PHRASE
IN BUILDERS DIALECT
"House AS Good AS Foundation" j"
Applied to Modern Construc-
ton, Approved by Writer,

The hackneyed phrase "a house is
as good as its foundation" holds true
with redoubled significance in these
days of intense interest in permanent
and fireSafe construction. The science
of building good foundation is
largely matter of good materials in
the laid-up or poured type of wall and
of proper care To see that correct
footing is provided for the wall.
The foundation must be large
enough to support the weight of the
building without settlement. To en-
sure this the footing must extend
safely below the frost line, as the
action of frost is one of upheaval that
may do serious or irremediable damage
to the finished building. II the foun-
lation is to serve as a basement, and
it would seem almost criminal to
waste this space while agitation for
the cheerful and useful model base
ment is current, the wall must be
watertight.

Weather.? A ASisSE5iis =
wEArHER FoRECAsTINa


The burden of responsibility That
rests nowadays upon the shoulders
of the weather forecaster is stupen-
dous. Hundreds of lives and NIL
lions of dollars worth of property
may be lost because of an unissued
storm warning. The seasons orange
crop may be curtailed because Of
the failure to issue a frost warning
or, on the other hand, the orange
growers may be put to heavy ex-
pense for fuel when a warning is
issued without justification. Year
by year the official prognosticators
acquire new duties involving new
opportunities for calanitous mis-
takes. The blame for a forest fire
is now laid at their door if timely
fire weather" warning was not is
sued before it happened, and the
wreck of an airship mile above the
earth is as likely to be ascribed by
the public to defects of the forecast
ing service as any weather disaster
on terra firma.
A parallel has often been drawn
between the art of weather predic-
ton and the art of medicine. Both
are VIGOROUSLY fallible, yet both. are
indispensable. Few people have alb
solute faith in either the weather
man or the doctor, but experience
shows that, in the long run, 1t is
wise to defer to their judgment.
Their existence, in the scheme OF
things is justified by the fact that
they are much more often right than
wrong.
