self-satisfied guy, who is always
sure he is right, has reached star

seen as boxer who gets bitten by
the society bug, and let's the gifl
who loyes him worry her head off
| while he plays around in high soei-
| ETY., unaware that the socially
elite are just making fun of him.
He proves himself good polo

Plans for a Buy in Washing.

meeting Of trade body represen-

merce yesterday.
Resolutions were adopted urging
all business men of the District

of action for a campaign to boost
local industries.
E. j. Murphy, president Of the

clared that it is impossible to
estimate the amount of money
lost by the city by failure to
confine business to local industries.
Employing men from other cities
and by letting contracts to other
than local firms, he declared, the
local companies are gradually
forced out of business.

SENATE, THROUGH WITH TARIFF,
TURNS To VAST BUILDING BILL

Freed of the tariff bill after
seven long months. the Senate
today turned to the enactment
OF good roads and public build
Ing bills as means of relieving
national unemployment.
The perennial Muscle Shoals
was once more the Senate's "un-
finished business" but Admins
tration leaders planned to lay
1t aside temporarily to permit
action on the Agricultural ap-
preparation bill and the Eli
cott-Keyes public buildings bill.
The farm measure carried a $75,-
100000 appropriation for new
Federal aid roads, while the
other would authorize a $115, ,00O,-
900 public building program
throughout the country in. addi-
tion to all existing projects.
so Millions in Contracts Let
The Treasury Department al
ready has initiated contracts for
erecting $92, 900 900 worth of pub
lie buildings this calendar year.
AS soon as the Ellicott-Keyes bill
is enacted, $40,00O,0OO more in
new projects will be awarded,
with the rest of the $115,00O, 900
held over until the spring of
1881. This years additional con-
struction will include the $14,-
100000 Federal building in Chi
cago, which will be the largest

durable than marble and one
sixth the cost of either. They
argued that limestone is fire
proof, while granite crumbles
under intense heat; that lime
stone is weather-proof, while
marble cracks and deteriorates
in a few years. They said, too,
that they recommended bases of
granite in all limestone buildings
SO that the two industries shared
almost equally the revenues of
each building erected of lime
stone. They recommended marble
too, for the interiors of buildings
Construction Speeded
The final argument of the
limestone interests, and probably
the one that sold Congress, aside
from the cost, was that it speeded
up construction work, saving
months and even years in the
erection of public buildings. In
the case of the new Department
Of Commerce Building in Wash
ington, it was said, the use of
limestone would permit occupa-
ton two years earlier than if
granite or marble had been used
throughout. And one more argu-
ment was that all new city-built
buildings in Denver and all new
commercial structures in Boston
were built Of limestone.
Once the agricultural appropri-
alton and public buildings bills
are out Of the way, the Senate
probably will recess for the rest
Of the week. When it returns
next Monday, the Muscle Shoals
bill will be the unfinished busi.
ness" probably for weeks to come.

>Springfield, Tll., will be included,
too, from this authorization. Ten
other projects, yet to be selected,
will round out this years pro.
gram. All this will be in addi-
ton to construction under the
appropriations running over from
last year and those carried IN
the deficiency bill just enacted.
The latter measure provided for
new buildings in Pittsburgh, Bos-
ton and Baltimore, among other
cities.
The Boston and Denver build
ings developed battles over the
use of Indiana limestone as
against granite or marble. In
the end. the limestone interests
won out.
House Bloc Blamed
This was one of the most
peculiar contests in recent con-
gressional history. The granite
and marble interests charged
that a House limestone" bloc
was forcing limestone into all
construction work over the oppo-
sition of local people. In Boston,
it was said, the city fathers de-
sired granite: while in Denver
it was said. marble was preferred.
Against these local preferences,
it was added, the House bloc in
sisted upon using limestone to
construct the buildings. =
An entirely different story was
told by the limestone interests.
They said limestone was just as
durable as granite. far more
