WINTER FEAR MUST END.
Superstitious Seasonal Lay-offs Hit
by Architect.

Elimination of seasonal lay-offs
caused by superstitious fear Of Winter
building is necessary to maintain per-
manently the purchasing power and
economic stability of the Nation, Rob-
ert D. Kohn, architect and president of
the New York Building Congress, de-
clares in a statement issued by the
American Institute of Architects.
Improved construction methods have
made building operations practicable
under the severest weather conditions,
Mr.. Kohn says. The savings which
may be expected in Winter building
programs, he asserted, outweigh in
great measure the additional cost for
protection to men and materials.

BUILDING SITUATION
EXPECTED TO IMPROVE
Report of Standard Statistics Co
Indicates Downward Trend
Will Be Checked.

The building industry of the country
probably will be more favorably stu
ated during 1880, the Standard Sta
tistics Co. of New York states on the
basis of a current survey.
Prospects are that the building con-
struction industry will check its down.
ward trend within the next few months.
Moderate recovery in the housing di-
vision seems probable, rejecting the
lowered costs of credit, improvement In
the mortgage money situation, and a
stable reduction, at least, of the pres
ent excess supply of residences" the
survey report states.
Advancement Is expected also in
the public works and utilities and the
public buildings divisions. as result of
President Hoover's sterilization pro-
gram. These are the divisions in which
greatest stimulation Is practicable
the ones which should be helped most
by the Hoover program.
Activity will be fairly well main
tanned in the other two major claSSifi-
cations-commercial and industrial
In the aggregate, therefore, q slight
uptrend, as compared with 1929 is fore
cast for 1880, but this probably will
not become apparent before the Sec
ond or third quarter"

Pittsburgh. Oct. 23, P>-It did strike Earl Duffey and Ralph Moore funny that with all this unemploy ment talk the city was having such a hard time getting detectives, but today there wasn't anything funny about it.
 A fellow with big badge and sad face ate in the restaurant where Ralph and Earl worked. He said he was sad because he couldn't get any help for the force." Earl and Ralph never did think much of the restaurGWt business, they told po- lice today. so when he offered to get them detective jobs free" they jumped at the chance.
 Of course, when the "detective' mentioned the high cost of badges, blackjacks, etc, they handed over S@.75. Then they quit work and the "detective" took them out and put them on their beat"
 It seems there wasn't any crime tc investigate yesterday, so they just ambled around. Late yesterday aft ernoon. they were resting at a. shel- ter house in the Northside park. 4 policeman came along. Earl and Ralph smiled fraternally.
 Pretty quiet ain't it? Yeh, it's pretty quiet on our beat too," they chirped familiarly.
 That was bad crack.
 Five minutes later they were on their way to police station.
