then a few days later was handed

her child.
She ferverently looks forward to

Pepper Is Possibility.

S. Parker Gilbert, now agent gem

sidered to succeed David r.. Crissinger
as governor of the Federal Reserve
Board who has resigned to join the
+. II. Smith Co.
Gilbert is now receiving four or

nominated to head the farm loan
banks but faces fight for confirma-
ton.
But neither can be appointed un.
less Vice Governor Edmund Platt is
removed from the board, as the law
allows but one member from district
and all three are from New York.
That may be accomplished by giving
Plat a higher-salaried position With
one of the member reserve banks, as
was done in the case of former Gov.
w. p. e. Harding. who was shifted
to the Boston Reserve Bank with a
$4,000 a year salary.
Some Pennsylvania, probably eX-
Senator Pepper, will be offered the
place if Platt declines to be shifted to

NEW SITE WANTED

A petition calling for the location

son tract. Fifth street and Florida
avenue northeast. with provision
there for the retail market, meat and
provision centers, as well as the
farmers produce stands, Is being cir
culated among Maryland truck farm

1t was learned last night.
Calling attention to the fact that
Washington has outgrown it's present
market center at Seventh street and
PENNSYLVANIA avenue. which shortly
must he vacated to make way for the
great Government building program,
the petitioners urge that a site con.
sisting of several acres be selected,
rather than one Of a city square or
two.
Fails to Give Efficiency.
'The City of Washington has out
grown the present market site, so
much so that 1t would be foolish to
try to conduct it economically on it's
present location, even if it was avail
able" the petition states.
Because of the congestion ~of traf'

on the truck grower to get his produce
from his stand to the buyer. In the

Calling attention to the fact that
the present market has served about
so years. the truck farmers urge that

growth of at least the next 25 years
be selected.

fully" the petition concludes, I'VE find
only one site that is large enough to

WAGE ADVANCE BLAMED
FOR BARRING COST CUT
Building Materials Declared to
Have Shown Decline in Past
Five Years.

Wage increases granted building
labor have prevented any material re-
duction in constructions costs, +. II.
Temple, ir.. general manager of the
Aberthaw Co. of Boston, declares Ill
an article in the July issue of the
American Builder-Economist. pub
lished by the American Bond Mort
gage Co.
"Price Of building materials have
shown a downward trend" said Mr..
Temple, "since early in 1928 and are
now at the lowest point in five years.
/ anticipate a continuation of this de-
cline, but believe it will be so slight
rs to make little difference in build
ing costs.
Labor rates in the building trades
have increased in about the same de-
gree that material prices have de-
creased because of the fact that the
building trade is largely unionized and
in position to force its demands. In
most instances it seems probable the
labor will continue at least on the
present high level and perhaps with
some slight advance. The average
level of building costs. therefore, con-
tinues at about the same level, show
ing a downward inclination. This
downward trend, however. is so slight
that during the spast four years the
variation from an average point has
been less than per cent"
