NEE I IN JUNE

For the first time in its u years
the National Association of Building
Owners and Managers. representing
more than seven billion dollars worth
of commercial buildings in America,
will hold its annual convention out
side of the boundaries of the United
States. This fact became known to-
day when Paul Robertson, of Indian-
apolis. president of the association,
announced that the tWenty-second
annual convention will be held in
Montreal, Quebec. from June 10 to
IA. 1929.
Montreal won the honor OF being
host to the skyscraper men of Amer
lea, not only because of It's reputa-
ton for hospitality. but because, in
the opinion of the officers and gov
ernors of the National Association
of Building Owners and Managers,
it was representative of the progress
sive metropolitan ceT1ters Of the
North American Continent.
Montreal, though possessing an
Old World flavor, is nevertheless
very much of a progressive city.
said Mr.. Robertson. 1T possesses
many fine office buildings. 1t has
traffic problems, much as those OF
cities in the States. We have Sc
lected it as cur next convention city
because IT affords US not only un.
surpassed convention facilities. but
it is likewise a laboratory in which
we may find practical examples OF
how buildings are successfully oper-
ated. During our convention / an
ticipate that there will be certain
hours set aside for. the inspection OF
the leading office and apartment
buildings of Montreal"
The convention headquarters will
be at the Mount Royal Hotel. About
500 delegates and guests from the
10 cities represented in the National
Association of Building Owners and
Managers are expected to attend the
convention next June. The largest
delegations are expected to come
from New York, Boston, Chicago
and Detroit.

recautiOn Urged
For Winter
Builders

Modern MASONRY has overcome
the age old belief that bricklaying
could not be done safely in freezing
weather Today brick may be laid
the year round. as efficiently and
as well in January as in July. AL
that is needed Is a little precaution
against the mortar freezing in the
wall before 1t has set.
Brickworl jobs should be en-.
closed in freezing weather and the
naanders brought into play to keeT
the temperature about the work
above the freezing point This is
successfully done upon the largest
construction jobs. 1t can more
easily be accomplished in residence
construction.
An enteFprising contractor IN
Cleveland displayed his resourceful
ness last winter in using a tent to
inelose a residence job which was
completed between the holidays and
the coming of spring, which in
Cleveland is the coldest season o1
the year. The tent was raised over
the foundation and kept until the
walls were up.
The main things to avoid ir
winter construction is freezing OF
the mortar and the letting of damp
ness get into the top of the wal
through rain or melting snow
Bricks should be kept dry and, II
possible. should be put into this
wall warm. Warm mortar should
be used. This combination will al
ways insure a good wall.
A fairly porous common brick is
best for use in winter construction
az it helps to quicken the mortar
set. And Bureau of Standards tests
prove that this type of brick makes
an excellent wall, is adequately
fire resistant. strong, and yet suf
ficiently moisture proof to prevent
moisture penetration of the wall.
With protected winter construc
ton there is little difference in the
cost of the common brick home and
the one built of wood. Weather
conditions do not interrupt the
masonry work at all.

CHARITY Chest
OPENS OFFICE

Announcement was made yester-
day by Elwood Street, director Of
the Community Chest, Inc. Of the
locating of their permanent offices
on the fourth floor of the II. u.
Sansbury building, 141S st. N. w.
The organization represents rs
charitable and subscription institu-
tions of the District of Columbia
and will solicit funds for these or
ganizations as whole.
This plan of soliciting subscrip-
tions has been successfully worked
out in over 800 cities and Director
Street has declared his belief in
washington and the enterprise
which he represents by purchasing
one of the Boss and Phelps attrac-
tive FoxhalI Village homes.
The first campaign of the or
Eanization will be started in JAM

Wearing Tests

Z 4 n !. -
Al machine was devised which
very ingeniously brought to bear
upon samples Of different flooring
materials a pressure and rubbing
or scratching effect similar to that
.of human footsteps.
Pressure was applied by a wneei
ashod with leather surfaces ana Llhs
sand was constantly fed between tne 2
leather and floor material 70 inlitaIs 3
the effect Of dirt ordinarily 1ouhu
to some extent on all floors.
After test period Of similar ouI-
alton III each case. the sample was
weighed to determine the percentage
loss by abrasion or, IN other words.
the amount which the maIeIlai
would wear away in practice under
the same amount Of foot traffic.
TndentatiOn
Concentrated loads were applied
to the sample materials through
furniture casters representative OF
those used in hospitals.
Varying loads were applied accord
ing to the type and size OF caster
used and the percentage OF depth
Of the indentatiOn measured ann
noted in the table given.
This test is Of particular interest
to the home owner or builder be-
cause OF the fact that the majority
Of houses are not commonly floored
with wood. and that by proper Sc
lection OF the flooring material the
damaging effects of both wear and
caster marks can be practically
minimized

Casserole of Fish.

Almost any fish is suitable for this
provided it can be filleted and made
into neat little rolls. Writings, plaice
sole or fresh haddock are good to
choose. Peel half dozen tiny mush-
rooms and as many small onions
Melt a heaping tablespoonful of but
ter in a casserole and fry the vegetables
until the onions are nice golden
brown Stir in heaping tablespoonful
Of flour. little pepper, salt and chop
ped parsley and finally half pint OF
white stock. Potato water or fish water
is the best to use Add the fish, bring
the pot to the boil, and skim it. Put it
into the oven for half to three-quarters
of an hour according to the size of the
fillets. Arrange the fish on a dish, with
the sauce poured over it and little
decoration of onions and mushrooms

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

December Z, 1S16.-It seems certain
today that the great dispute over the
result of the presidential election last
month has been at last precipitated
upon Congress and that the final and
deciding events of the national political
drama will be enacted in this city be-
tween now and March 4, when the term
of President Grant expires.
AS result of the canvass of votes for
President and Vice President by the re-
turning boards in the disputed States
in the South the election of the Hayes
Wheeler electors has been certified in
those States, adding 19 votes to the 166
previously held by the Republican can
didates and giving them nominally a
majority of one in the electoral college.
The principal disputes are in Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina.
From these States, however, come
today counter claims in behalf of the
Democratic candidates for President
and Vice President, Tilden and Hen
bricks.
Furthermore, telegraphic word was
received today from Oregon that one of
the Republican electors in that State
has been found to be ineligible, and
this claim is strengthened by the fact
that the Governor of oregon has COM
missiOned Democratic elector in the
place of this man If this vote is
counted, even with the disputed South
ern votes going to Hayes, Tilden will be
elected President.
But the Republican party is making
vigorous claims in oregon against the
commissioning of this Democratic elec-
tor, just as the Democrats are doing
with respect to Republican electors
commissioned in several of the South
ern States.
The throwing of the whole election
muddle into Congress seems, for the
present at least, to offer no solution; for
one branch of Congress is Republican
and one Democratic, and the whole
question is admitted by everybody now
to have taken distinctly partisan char
acter.
How to settle it without resorting to
the we'll known Latin American style
of politics is likely to task the minds of
the ablest men of the Nation, and con-
siderable apprehension is felt all over
the country.

vitamins for Gastric Ulcer.

In nine years practice among Hima-
layanS, McCarriSon, famous BrltlSn
army. surgeon, performed $500 major
operations, but never saw case OF gas
tric or duodenal ulcer, appendicitteS or
colitiS among these primitive people,
and he became convinced that unoe-
naturalized food, natural foods such as
raw milk, whole grains, eggs, fruits ana
the leafy vegetables, are accountable
for this remarkable freedom from IN
fectious conditions. He specifies vita
min B and vitamin c as the special fac
tors that protect the digestive tract from
such infectious diseases. INFECTIOUS
means caused by the invasion OF the
tissue or organ by germs, not necessarily
contagious or communicable
It appears that in a great many cases
of gastric or duodenal ulcer, or cases In
which this lesion is suspected, patients
have been urged to adhere to certain
diets that have not included adequate
quantities fthese two vitamins, and
since our knowledge of these mysterious
unidentified substances in foods has
been advanced by the discoveries OF
such scientists as McCarrison and Nc
CoIlunn, progressive physicians are pre-
scribing less stringent dietary restrictions
in the treatment of such patients, with
rather extraordinary results.
I have repeatedly urged here that VIC
tins of mucous colitis should, as rule,
include an ample variety and quantity
of coarse fresh fruits and vegetables in
the diet, that they should eat even such
an Irritating" thing as bran, or If that
is not desirable, then take few spoon
fuls Of whole faxseed every day. Some
of the old-timers, both general practi-
TONERS and specialists, have hoped into
print here and there to warn people
against this very thing. 1t reminds me

Everybody Desires Understanding
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER,

an appreciation of other persons atti-
tudes The latter is quite as important
as the former. The happiness of home
life is built on the foundation of under
standing. and indeed the peace OF the
world depends upon it. And so the wish
to be understood is fundamental.
It seems a bit strange that with so
universal a craving for others to under
stand us we do not try with all our
hearts and minds to understand others.
We seem to be consumed with the desire
for the attitude of others to be correctly
directed toward us. So utterly engrosS-
ing is this point of view that we give
little concern to .our attitude toward
others. AS understanding should be
reciprocal to be complete, our attitude is
as essential to friendlineSs as Is theirs.
There has sprung up the expression,
IAN understanding person" The world
has a soft place in its heart for these
persons. They draw understanding to-
ward themselves in proportion to the
measure with which they understand
others. A kindly Judgment is theirs
and kindly judgment is passed on the
actions of understanding persons What
ever they say, it is felt to be lacking in
consciousness or unjust criticism and
to come from kind heart.
And so, if we would be understood, let
us try to understand others. All mothers
know that this attitude is essential to-
ward their children if a mutual and
happy companionship is to result. II
this attitude of kindly Judgment and
leniency toward ones offspring could be
extended to include friends and ac-
quaintances, the world would be an even
better place to live in than 1t now Is,
and the craving to be understood would
be fulfilled. It would be natural result.
