Now a five or six-story building
has been considered neat little
structure in most towns. Yet there
are dozens of new steel giants with
this number of subterranean floors.
It is possible, for instance, to find
strange and incredible world be-
meath the first floor Of the New
York Life building. Descending
suddenly some five stories, the
mechanism which makes a tremen-
dous building "click" can be found.
Upon the lowest floor is what they
term the tube room." 1t is a sort
of pneumatic terminal where tubes
roar and rumble as the containers
shoot through them. These tubes
weave in and out like the grotesque
pattern of futuristic painting.
Dozens of men keep the containers
in constant operation, for each Of
flee is equipped with a chute, and
| several hundred offices may be dis
patching carriers at the same mo-
| ment.

UNSEEN ITEMS
IMPROVE HOME
Building Experts Look Be-
meath Surface to Find Real
Value of Property
(By the Building EditOr)

Persons who know the ms and outs
Of building home never believe all
they see when they are examining a
house to determine its value, al
though the appearance of the house
IS one of the most important items.
It's color, both as to exterior and
trimmings, and the interior walls,
woodwork and ceiling, is one of the
most important items in determining
the effect Of the property upon the
visitor.
The demonstration home is fin
ished in light-colored stucco with
brown trimmings and half -timbering.
The half timbering was used to
break the blank expanse of wall in
the gable and does it effectively. The
business of applying the stucco is in
/ tricate, however, and so is the paint
ing. They will be discussed in an
other article. 1t is the material un-
der the paint which has most to do
with determining stability and
value.
The stucco used is known as orr
entail stucco and is mixed and colored
at the factory. It is possible to get
| satisfactory results by using port.
land cement for the base with white
portland cement, tinted to any color
for the outside coating. Ready mixec
stucco is standard, however, ane
many stucco men prefer to use it
The Portland cement type usually is
slightly cheaper. The Central Lum
Der company, which supplied thes.
items for the demonstration home
sells both kinds.

4 WASHINGTON A
~ LETTER
o. ~ 90

Washington, Dec. SIN the last
eight wears the farm population Of
this country has had a net shrink
age of 3,2S3,000 persons.
Since 1922, an average of 10000
people have left the farm for the
city every year. simultaneously,
between 100000 and 100000
people have moved annually from the
city to the farm. After allowing for
the increase in farm births over
deaths. which partially counteracts
this loss, it is seen that the farms
annually lose about 100000 people a
year.
These figures, taken from the an
nual report Of Secretary Of Agri-
culture Jardine, would seem to paint
a rather gloomy picture. But. un-
cxpectedly enough, the secretary
dives into his mass Of statistics and
energies with an item that is far
more encouraging.
This migration from the farms is
slowing up rapidly. In 1927 the net
loss of the farms was only 10000
by far the smallest figure for any
Of the eight years under review
Secretary Jardine is so encouraged
that he says:
"Some relative loss Of population
from the country to the town is ap-
parntly a normal characteristic OF
our agriculture by reason Of the
comparatively high natural rate OF
increase in the country and because
of the progressive substitution Of
mechanical power for man power.
Continuance of present tendencies il
the movement Of farm population
may bring us within few years tt
q point at which the annual loss vii
not exceed the proportion necessar.
to allow for draining off the excess
in natural increase and for the drol
in labor requirements"
People moving away from farms
Secretary Jardine finds, can be di
vided into several classes. TIL
largest is the stream of young PEG
pie who are "going to the city t,
look for a job" Then there is
group Of older people looking TO
some pursuit that will pay bette
or be more congenial than agricul
ture; a fair sprinkling of prosper
GUS adults retiring to town to liv
on their savings, and small groul
forced to leave agriculture through
the disabilities of age. OF thes
groups, the most important numer
ically and socially is the group 0
young people.
The young, say Secretary Jardine
leave the farms for two reasons. L
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-12-08

the first place, more children are
born and raised on farms than can
find place in farm life. Under the
best conditions, many must migrate
to the cities for the simple reason
that there isn't room for them in
the country. Secondly, many young
people do not take to farm life. City
employment appeals to them more
than farm life, and this fact, says
the secretary, sis not necessarily
evidence that farming is without at
fractions for those adapted to it,"
The secretary points out that the
city man often makes the mistake
of assuming that there is only one
| type Of farm and only one type Of
farmer. On the contrary. he says,
conditions vary so greatly that mo
single formula can be invented for
the solution of all farm problems.
"In one district" he says, "the
chief need may be further scien-
tific research; in another it may be
more important for the moment to
encourage a more general applica-
ton Of established scientific
practice y. In like manner, the
opportunity to benefit agriculture by
improvements in marketing is great
err for some regions and for some
crops than for others. If we forget
these facts and fall into the habit
of Jumping all farm difficulties to-
gether under the general name of
the farm problem we shall waste
much time in discovering the true
path Of progress"
The secretary also takes occasion
to point out that although the auto
mobile, the telephone and good roads
have done much to lessen the farm
er's isolation, they have by no means
abolished it. Many farmers are still
without good hospital. library and
school facilities. He suggests that
some new form of governmental in
stitution for rural regions may need
to be adopted.
Much, too, remains to be done in
the matter Of modern conveniences.
The last census showed that only
10 per cent of American farm homes
were piped for running water; only
seven per cent had gas or electric
lighting; and only 50 per cent had
telephones. While these averages
have possibly risen since the census
was taken, it is obvious that the
farmer is by no means freed from
the old inconvenience and discom-
forts that have driven so many
young people to the cities.

Variety of Questions Perplex
Head of University Of North
Dakota Department

Grand Forks, N. D. Oct. 3d.
From helping the country sheriff
apprehend bootleggers to settling
vexing economic problems Of the
state, the extra-curricula duties Of
the chemist extend, according to DR..
G. A. Abbott, head Of the chemistry
department at the University Of
North Dakota.
A multitude Of problems are pre-
sented to the department yearly, he
explained, which often tax the i'm
genuity and the scientific knowledge
Of the chemist to the utmost.
Sheriffs send in samples of liquor
so that the alcoholic content may be
determined. A woman requests adj
vice on treatment Of bodied hair,
claiming she can do nothing with it..
An angry farmer asks that the
chemist determine what poison killed
the hen he submits as evidence a
weasel has been abroad. "How much
is this diamond WORTH" queries a
lady, when she sends in a bit of
pretty glass for Identification.
And SO on throughout the years
does the department receive queries.
Some can be answered. Some would
defy the wisdom of Solomon to sat-
isfy individuals making queries.
Such questions, however, are but
small matters in the chemists daily
life. Some company operating in
the state has trouble with its
water-softening plant. It brings its
troubles to the chemist, who pre-
scribes treatments which may re-
move alien substances.
A multitude of problems, all diff
ferent, explained the doctor, only
60 to indicate the wide scope Of
chemistry. It shows the dependence
of the world on it as a science, and
professors at the university are
eager to aid in spreading the gospel
that chemistry is a basic science
through which people Of the state
can aid themselves.
