HISTORIC PLACE

For more then 100 years the "old capitol" has play
ed an important part In our national history.
James Monroe took the oath Of office as President
OF the United States there.
For almost five years congress held Its sessions In
the place.
John c. Calhoun once had his residence there.
And during the civil war It was converted into a
federal prison where secessionists were incarcerated.
The history Of the "old capitol" dates back to the
year 1914. when invading British soldiers set fire to
washington. The capitol building and practically
all other federal structures in the city were burned.
There had to be a place where government could be
administered.
There were many in favor Of moving the seat Of
government to some other city. 1t was argued that
washington had been defiled by an invading force.
the city rendered helpless. and was In constant dan
ger Of being attacked.

Building Totals Analysed.

Official reports from 596 leading
cities and towns in every part of the
United States made to S. w. StrauS e.
Co., showed a total of building permits
issued in September of $218, 344, SOC,
compared with 1881 ,193,426 in Sep
TENDER last year. The loss from August
was Is per cent and from September,
1928, was 20 per cent. The figures were
without special significance, excepting
that they indicated a continuation of
the downward trend in urban building
activities that has been in existence
throughout the greater part of the year
A study of the reports reveals that
the losses were fairly we'll scattered
throughout the country, with no acute
a large extent the decline is in the
smaller types of construction.
The falling off in the building activity
during the past month was reflected to
some extent in the cost of building ma
terials. Cement which has been weak
for some time experienced further de-
clines of from 10 to 20 cents per barrel.
Towards the end of the month there was
a slight easing in the price of structural
steel shapes and bars especially at the
Pittsburgh mills. No change was re-
ported in common brick and lumber.
Declines in construction volume are
tending to increase unemployment,
which is not being offset by the Ave-
day week in the cities where this Short
week plan is in operation. For the
month a few advances in wages are
reported, particularly a 10 per cent
increase in New York City. Boston
steamfitters and plumbers have been
advanced from $1.37l2 per hour to
$3.50. Indications are that wages are
now near the high point of 1920, except
that nine years ago high wages were
in large part due to an inflated cur
rency.
Considerable jurisdictional trouble has
been experienced in Boston and appeals
have been taken to the Building Trades
Department of the American Federation
of Labor to seek relief which, If salts
factorily granted. may establish a
precedent for jurisdictional difficulties
in other parts of the country.

ephone call received fell into the "A" class; his wife remind ing him to send the car for her after luncheon, a friend who wanted to borrow a few hund- red dollars, his tailor announc- ing that his new suit was ready to be tried on-all insisted that their communication was of great importance and needed immediate attention.
 It was only his chauffer who modestly told the operator that his message came under "C". He merely wanted to re- port that he had collided with a truck, smashed a $6,O00 car and injured a policeman.

FIND THE MORAL

The chief executive of a big corporation, whose time is oc- cupied from the moment he reaches his office until the moment he leaves, has devised a new efficiency scheme. He has requested all his employ ees and all his friends, when they telephone to him, to in- form the operator in his office whether the conversation they desire falls under the heading of "A" !" "B," or "C."
 "A" signifies that il. is a mat ter of great importance that re- quires immediate attention. 'B" signifies that it is a mat ter of business routine or of social engagement. 70" means ordinary piffle.

SUCCESS

With success in life one of the outstanding fetiches of the world it is we'll to remember hat achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. The most successful men are not necessarily the )nes noisily attracting public attention. The best and most useful women are not the bright butterflies of fashion on the stage, whose press agents Haunt their pictures and their pretty doings before the pub lie.
 The unIauded men and wom- en who are quietly attending to their own duties, every day contributing something sub- stantial to general industry, prosperity and progress, rear ing children in habits of useful work and right living, and SUD- plying examples that elevate the moral and intellectual lev el of their little communities these are the men and women Of real influence and power.
 Success is theirs in the fullest despite the absence of plaudits from the world, which is ever slow to recognize true worth.
 How shrunken and pitiful a thing, how hollow a delusion, is the shining so-called success of self-absorbed men and women.
 They have only the husks of ilfe's golden grain. Like that

ADVERTISING AS A
 HELP TO CREDIT

A financial writer points out that a business mans credit is often much improved in a man. ner concerning which the busi- ness man is himself scarcely aware of, and that is by a pol icy of consistent advertising. Bank men believe in advertis- ing, for they know that it pays. Their feeling, therefore, is that when a merchant who is a good advertiser applies for a loan, that a reasonable amount of goods bought by him on credit, is likely to be turned over quickly and promptly paid for, on account of his methods of keeping his goods constantly before the public.
 Discriminating buyers of ev- cry class also know they can get fresh goods from the store that advertises, for the merch- ant who really advertises sell odm has shop-worn goods. And in that way advertising helps the merchants credit not only with the banks but with his customers. And one is just as important as the other.

Special Armistice Day Service 7:30 P. M. in memory of those who have given their lives in the Great War.
 Great progress has been made since 1914 but has this prog ress been sufficient to prevent another World War? We all have felt the suffering of war and we can gather togeth- CT for this service with a pray CT upon our lips to Almighty God that we nor the children's children may ever know such suffering again.
 A special program compiled by Dr. Lincoln Wirt, western secretary of the National Coun- cil for the Prevention of War, will be used in the service. The theme of the sermon will be: Caught in the Meshes."

 They brought us peace, and in the grave
