Over Fifty Billions
Spent Since Close
OfWorld War

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-More than
fifty billion dollars have been
spent for construction work in the
United States since the World war
D.. A. CARRIER, Washington. d. c.,
told an annual invention of the
Associated General Contractors of
America opening here Wednesday.
The annual volume Of opera
tons has doubled since 1919" Mr..
CARRIER. general manager of the
contractors national organization
declared. The estimated value of
construction operations or all types
In 1928 is eight billion dollars"
The increasingly high American
standard of living" was cited as be-
ing basicly responsible for the vast
increase in building activities.
The nations increased popula-
ton and the movement toward
metropolitan areas admittedly have
exercised an influence" Mr.. CARRIER
stated. but the demands for mod
ernization and the ability to pay
for satisfaction of these demands
form the real CauseS Of the vast in
crease.
The steady movement from pri-
vate residences to apartments. de-
velopment Of new conveniences fer
office structures and the increased
need for hotels have all had a di-
rect effect upon general building
operations. Meanwhile many new
industries have been developed and
old ones have EXPANDED, with a
constant demand for industrial
structures thus being exercised"

and highway bridge construction

MIKE BOSSES CLUB
 FOR LONG STRETCH

SPARTANBURG, s. O., May H. Like MT. Tennyson's brook, Mike Kelly of the Dublin Kellys, goes on and on-and in the same place.
 Those minor league managers who have fled by night for miles along the railroad ties may find this hard to believe, but Kelly is starting his ninth season as mana ger of the same baseball club.
 Kelly, who halls from Indianapo- lis, is first sacker by trade. He took charge of the Spartanburg team of the South Atlantic asso- citation in mid-season, 1921, and has been on the job ever since.
 That record will be hard to tie, much less beat.
 The late Jack Dunn stayed at Baltimore that long, but he owned the Orioles. There have been oth- CTS who have survived the wolves in the bleachers for long stretches, but where is one who stood the gaff nine years?
 Kelly has had his lean years along with the fat. Spartanburg fans are different from those of any other city. At times they have made life miserable for Mike when his team was losing. But, like the old boarding house, the customers cuss but stick on.
 Mikes personality puts him across rather than his ability to develop winners. In eight years at Spartan burg he won only one pennant.

Speed and aggressiveness is said to be the big attraction in the box ing show to be staged this evening by the Fair Athletic Association in the Fair Building, the first event of it's kind to be staged here or elsewhere in the Territory under the control of the Alaska Boxing Commission. There isn't anything approaching big man on the card, the main event being between Leyson and Willis, welterweights.
 But the absence of beef and brawn, doesn't mean that the fight fans won't get taste of real &C., ton. Billy Franks, referee of all bouts, who has watched the bat tiers doing their training grind, is authority for the statement that there will be some tasty milling be- fore the leather pushers get through with their labors.
 In fact, Bill is going to be a sur prised lad if some of the bouts don't end with the little birdies singing requiems for a few of the boys More than one of them are said to pack wallops capable of producing twilight sleep if they are so fortunate, or unfortunate as the point of view happens to be, as to land them.
 Leyson, who has been in headline events before Seattle clubs, has a respectable knockout record and is out to add Willis's name to his list of victims. The latter, who has been doing most of his training behind closed doors, is willing to swap punches with the little brown brother so it should make an argu- ment pleasing to the fans.
 Pete Lubeck, travelling under the nom de plume of Texas Flash, meets Jack CaStello in the four round semi final. Pete has shown his wares here before and has fought in Seattle, meeting such men as Baby Joe Cans, Bud How ard and Monk Frames. Castello claims a draw with Wildcat Garter and that's some distinction as any Seattle fight fan can attest. He points to knockout victory over Young Carpenter in Olympia and has met other good men in north west rings. l

NEW ORLEANS. May 11.-Bill Keefa, sports editor of the Times Picayune and an authority on rac- ting, comes to the defense of Reign Count following the Kentucky derby winners recent sad showing in England.
 Keefe points out that Reign Counts first race on the grass was run on the ownhill Lingfield course and that this soft, downhill gallop was bewildering to the horse.
 An American horse is extremely cautious running downhill, for he has been schooled on the flat He will extend himself to the limit up- grade, but descending slope his horse sense tells him that it will end in an abrupt drop and that he must be cautious, Keefe says.

BY M'CARL RULE
First Pay Day Since CIassifi.
cation Board Decision Was
Made Is Saturday.

The knotty question of what to do
about a large number of employees on
the pay rolls of several different de-
partments and establishments who are
working for the Personnel Classical
ton Board, ostensibly in violation Of a
recent ruling of Controller General Nc
Carl, is puzzling more than one head of
department and high official as the 1st
OF June draws near.
So far as could be learned today from
check-up of several different sources,
the problem has not yet been solved,
and the board still has working for it
number OF Stenographers, clerks, and
other persons who are receiving their
pay of other pay rolls.
McCarl in his decision declared that
such persons, unless they could qualify
as experts in personnel matters. could
not be loaned by Government depart
ments, except the Bureau of the Budget,
the Civil Service Commission and Bu-
reau of Efficiency.
The Department of Agriculture, to
which McCarl rendered his decision, APP
parently has decided to withdraw all
of its personnel except one or two who
can qualify as experts. AS a matter
of fact, officials of this department said
they never had more than seven en-
ployes detailed to the board. But 9TH
er departments, including Treasury,
Commerce and the Interstate Commerce
Commission, had loaned a number. The
Treasury, for instance, is understood to
nave about 80 persons, whose total pay
amounts to about $4,000 a year, loaned
to the classification board.
