ing to the report of the cashier of the
association at Social Service House this
morning. Receipts up to noon today
represented the purchase of slightly
more than 100000 seals.
Yesterday ended the weeks sales of
seals in all but one of the store and
bank booths operated by really teams of
volunteers from various women's organi-
cations. Returns from the booth sales
are not yet recorded in full, but indica-
tions are that they were up to previous
years. Yesterday calls for more seals
came from number of self-service sta
tions where the first stock had been sold
out. Returns are also yet to be made
from several schools and form the teams
of the tuberculosis Hospital patients.
However, the largest part of the
shortage in the sale at present lies with
those persons who have received by
mail an allotment of the seals on ap-
proval and have not yet sent payment
or made return of those not wanted.

as Business Matter

AS way OF pointing out the rela-
lion of business profits to municipal
Improvement, Ernest T. Trigg, chair
man Of the civic development commit
tee of tile Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, propounded these
six questions to the organization at
its annual meetings;
/. Has poorly lighted, badly paved
business street any relation to the
prosperity of the merchants who do
businessson it?
q Has the congestion at freight
station, due to badly planned thor
oughfares or uneconomically lighted
terminals, any relationship to the pros
perity Of the shippers and the receiv-
ers of the freight who use it?
g. Have obsolete or inefficiently adj
ninistered municipal services, fire and
police protection, traffic regulation,
the common utilities, any relation to
the prosperity Of the business con-
Germs in city?
4. Has the inadequacy of iterurban
car and bus lines and of the highways,
which are the channels of communion
ton between the city and its produc-
ing hinterland, any relation to the
prosperity of its banks, of its stores
and its other business interests?
5. Has the health and contentment
of the workers any relation to the
prosperity of the concerns in which
they work?
6. Has the knowledge, skill and
mental attitude of a people, their ca
pacity for good workmanship and
their willingness to work to capacity,
any relation to the prosperity OF an
industrial nation such las ours2
All of these, he declared, are mat
tiers of civic development and as such
should be the concern of business.

slider the ACCESSIBILITY Of erecting a
house which is capable Of future en-
largement.
For instance, the family may wish

and bedrooms on the second story.
They cannot afford this, however,
SO they decide to let the second story

This is easily possible BY placing a
bedroom and batL on the first floor,
together with kitchen, dining room,
and living room. Thus the comfort
OF four-room apartment is afforded
with the added joys Of ones own
home. The second story is left I'M
finished and later on the two, bed
rooms upstairs, with a second bath,
can be finished. In this way COM

The evils of fire-inviting construc-
ton have received tremendous pub
licity of late. Our annual fire loss is
estimated at $500.0O0,O00. Builders
and owners are coming to realize that
all construction should be truly fire
resistant, whether built of wood fully
protected or of incombustible mate
rial, The superiority of metal lath
and plaster protection for wood studs
and joints has been recognized for
years through general knowledge Of
the material and successful stopping
of fire In many buildings.
