Radio-Growing extremely rapid,

Steel-In excellent financial and

Harvey S. Firestone Jr., vice-pres-

on the fact that cotton and rubber

AIRPORT WORK
TO Be RESUMED,
CITY ASSURED
Edict Fired at Contractor,
Ordering Him to Act
Immediately.

Determined to insure completion
OF the municipal airport administra-
tino building within two weeks, the
works board today gave Charles T
Caldwell, contractor on the project
until Friday morning to make neces-
sary financial arrangements.
Work came to q stop at the port
Wednesday afternoon when plaster
ers walked out because they had
not been paid wages.
E. Kirk Mckinney, board of
works president. following a con-
ference with Edward H. Knight.
corporation counsel, declared if the
arrangement for the work is not
completed Friday, the board would
direct it finished under its control
and sue Caldwell and II. H. Wood
small, who carries Caldwell's $4,000
bond on the job.
Caldwell said today everything
will be all right and that he would
raise funds for the work Wood
small stated he was ready to CO.
operate with the city in getting the
work completed, Mckinney said.
Estimates Boosted
Caldwell admitted at the board
session Wednesday that he had
been sending boosted estimates to
the board so he could have enough
money on which to operate. He
said he was forced to pay wages of
men employed by subcontractors to
whom he had given various phases
Of the work
Paul H. Moore, airport superin-
tendent, estimated that more than
seventy-five men have been affected
by the situation, although only
score walked away from the work
late Wednesday.
Although the board still owes
Caldwell $4,000 this will not be paid
until the job is finished. Of this
amount, subcontractors and material
supply agents have filed liens
against Caldwell for about $4,000.
Without an advance either by the
city or the bonding company, Cald-
well told the board he would be I'M
able to continue.
July Is Original Date
The building was to have been
finished July Is under the original
contract, but tine time was extended
to Oct l by the board in the belief
that another two months would
guarantee completion. However,
labor and financial entanglements,
Caldwell told the board, has slowed
the completion to a great extent.
In a story written by H. Gene
Haynes, airport publicity director,
today, it is stated that the Con
tractors Slowness in completing the
administration building will slow up
activities at the new port" Haynes
also said that the Transcontinental
and Western Air, Inc, will not, at
first, continue to use the port as its
landing base because the admins
tration-hangar will not be COM
pleted for some time"
The contract for the building was
let by the Slack administration and
members Of the present board have
faced a series of complications in
their efforts to finish the job.

FOOD SCIENTISTS
RECOMMEND Eating
IN MID AT TERNOON
Experiments Show That
Sugar in Food or Beverages
Overcomes Fatigue

Modern business invariably makes
its greatest demands on workers
during the latter part of the after
noon. Yet that is just the time OF
the working day when vitality is
the lowest.
Recent scientific investigations
have proved that this mid-afternoon
fatigue can be quickly overcome by
eating sweet cakes, a few pieces Of
candy, a dish of ice cream or the
drinking of a sweet beverage. A
glass of water sweetened with sugar
will revive one in an amazing way.
The reason for this lies in the
quick digestibility of refined sugar.
There are few food products that
nourish the body so speedily. And
when the system is nourished.
fatigue is noticeably decreased.
With practically no loss of
time, and very little expense, a mid
afternoon snack can be enjoyed.
Dispensers of sweet drinks and con-
fectionery are within the reach of
all. As matter of fact, a few pieces
of candy or sugar can be conve-
niently kept in ones desk and eaten
when tired. Most foods are more de
licious and nourishing with sugar
