HEADACHE

A hard day at the Office, and q head
ache homeward bound. All for the
want Of two little tablets of Bayer
Aspirin! Don't be helpless when you
suddenly get a headache; carry Bayer
Aspirin with you. The pocket tin
doesn't take up any room, but what a
comfort when it's needed!
Fatigue will frequently bring on a
headache. It lowers the vitality and
invites a cold. Take Bayer Aspirin and
throw it off! Don't wait until you are
miserable. There is nothing in genuine
aspirin to hurt the heart or upset the
stomach or harm the system in any
way. Your doctor will tell you that!
Get real aspirin: look for Bayer on the

box. Follow the proven directions to
be found inside each genuine Bayer
package. They cover colds, sore
throat, headache, toothache, neuritis,
neuralgia, sciatica, lumbago or
rheumatism, muscular pains, and
other pains and aches for which these
tablets are a positive antidote. Keep
your pocket tin filled from the bottle
of 100 tablets. Every drugstore has
Bayer Aspirin in bottles, as well as
the familiar little box.
Bought by the hundred the genuine
tablets cost very little, indeed. When
the tables are stamped Bayer you
know. what you are taking. Why
experiment with limitations?

Four Billion For
 Building In 1881
Residential Construction Seen as Immense Or
 portunity for Returning Prosperity

And what is true of New York is largely true of other cities.
 "The present year, 1881, will close about two hundred million dollars over the four billion mark "a boom year any year prior to 1922. The year from October 1881 to September 1892 will probably
 be slightly less than this-about a four billion dollar total.
 "The volume of business passing through the average architectural office in the depression year of 1881, totals almost as much as the total average of the drug, hard
 ware, department store and auto- mobile businesses in the 1929 peak year. Such figures indicate the tremendous influence of the archi- tect upon national prosperity, an influence which is not generally
 realized even by the profession it. self"
 MT Eberhard finds prospects of a still further growth of building &C., tivities in 1882.
 Presidential work" he says, twill probably be the first to show un- usual activity. Out of each 100 of our population 75 have not as yet been able to afford good housing standards. There is here a tremen-
 dous, unworked market, market
 which may possibly be developed
 by new methods of construction
 which will make it possible to pro- vide better accommodation at low CT costs. Should such developments
 take place, and there are tndica- tions that they will, 1t is logical to expect that many outmodeled
 dwellings will be cast in the dis card and be replaced with cheaper and better structures"

 The night shift had just started
 operations Saturday when two miners broke through an old workings and freed a pocket of gas. They had no time to warn the others, as the gas ignited.
 The explosion centered in the east drift of the red ash vein. Workers in other sections of the mine escaped entirely. Gabriel Skvartek and John Tagnani, near CT the slope, were blown 40 feet and escaped with burns. They are recovering at Nanticoke hospital The other six were farther dowr | the drift. The blast sent tons o1 rock and coal tumbling around them and blocked the only path by which they could escape. Wher Novak, who has a wife in Europe and Molitoris, unmarried, met death in their vain attempt tc
 crawl over the barrier, Tom.

 They had four full lunch cans to provide them with food; four | freshly-filled water bottles; and sufficient carbide to provide light

 The presidents statement, one of the strongest of his administration follows:
 "The Navy league states in its announcements that 1t has for a quarter of a century specialized in accurate information as to navy matetrs' and the principal activity of the league is to disseminate facts bearing on navy matetrs to the press.'
 "In order that the country may know the untruth and distortions of fact in Chairman Gardner's recent pronouncement, will ap- point 8 committee including mem- bers of the Navy league to whom agencies of the government will demonstrate these untruths of the league who have not participated in this staetment. Upon its com pletion I shall expect MT Gardner to make a public correction of his misstatements and an apology therefor.
 'It is desirable for the public to know the character of this in- direct campaign of transformation to defeat the efforts of the high officials of the navy department and the administration for reduc- tion of federal expenditures not immediately essential in order that we may avoid increased taxation of the people in these times" Gardiner immediately replied | informally to the presidents state- ment, saying. he was not sure whether the league would appoint members to the committe as MT Hoover asked.
 q am somewhat surprised" he said, ''at the suggestion of Presi- dent Hoover that he will person. ally appoint a commission to in- vestigate a question touching ad- ministrative policy, especially con- sidering the fact, as understand it, that congress Is the investigat- ing branch of the government. O1 course, I shall welcome a congress sional investigator to bring out all the facts and publish them." Gardiner was expected to- reply more fully to-day, along with Chairman Fred A. Britten of the house naval affairs committee, . staunch big navy man.
 The 1882 naval budget dispute Is now in the process of arbitra' tion between Budget Director Roop and the budget officer of ths navy. Results of their confer. ences are expected to be made public within the next few weeks The budget must go to congress the opening week of the Decem Der session.
 Reports from the conference, indicate the economies will bt less drastic than originally planned MT Hoover called for a cut O $61, 100000 in the outlay for mex year.

 Each of three families owning land on Gallows Hill is equally certain the hangings were from
 trees on it's property. The trees,
 unfortunately, offer no evidence on
 this point, they having been ped dled piecemeal to souvenir-seeking tourists.

 on the Boston street end of now
 barren Gallows Hill.
 "The property on the hill is

Judge Newell Jennings denied the motion to set aside the $7,000 verdict awarded Filberto Cappozi against the City of Waterbury by jury last week after hearing arr guments on the motion at the short calendar session of the su- perior court to-day. Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor ar- gued for the setting aside of the verdict on the grounds that it was against the law in the case, against the evidence and that the jury was biased because it permitted sym- pathy to the jury members in coming to decision.
 Judge Jennings stated he would deny the motion and probably would hand down a memorandum of decision stating his reasons why. Counsel for the plaintiff, Attor- ney Michael V. Blansfield and James M. Lynch were not called upon for statements.
 The verdict was in the form of two awards. The plaintiff was al- lowed $5,000 for expenses incurred in caring for his son, Benjamin, who died from injuries alleged to have been caused when he stum-

 There has been so much talk about the depression and lack oi building construction" says Ernest Eberhard, managing editor of American Architest, that it is time we took stock and talked about the business we have got.
 "In the few months just past, in New York city alone, there arose such nationally famous structures as the Empire State building, the Irving Trust, Waldorf-Astoria and a number of others but little less prominent.

Limited Press Stan CurrcspOndenf) Washington, Oct 30.--(UP)- Revelation that Herbert Hoover opposed creation of 8 separate American expeditionary force in France and recommended infiltra- ton of American troops with French and British armies is con- tained in a book entitled Newton | D. Baker: America at War; by Frederick Palmer, just issued. MT Hoover's recommendations, made just before the United States entered the war, were rejected. President Wilson, Secretary of War Baker and General Pershing were strongly in favor of maintaining a separate American army.
 Mir Hoover, it is disclosed. also later urged class exemptions from the draft for agriculturists of the Foreman, manager and ownership type," but his plan was rejected as being ''Too indefinite for practical application"
 Under the heading Herbert Hoover's Military Plan," Palmer said:
 "Abstractly, the infiltration of our man-power in small units Into the veteran European armies under their war-experienced staffs seemed to be the logical plan. Herbert Hoover favored it. In Q letter to Colonel E. -1. House on February | 13, 1917, he included 1t as one of his suggestions under nine heads as to our procedure in the event that we should enter the war. He would have no political alliance, only military cooperation" Mir Hoover's plan also outlined economic measures to aid in the war.
 He took the position that the
 French army had passed the zenith of it's power, with its number de- creasing from casualties but still the most skillful army in Europe "An American expedttionary force would require long prepara- tion and much transport. and a large American army in France would have Political difnculties ir association" Palmer said para. phrasing the Hoover memorandum "He would have the United States become a recruiting ground for the French or other allied armies. Ii our government gave a stimulus l by the provision or peHslonS, eeCs am confident that a large body o1 men could be recruited and sent simply as man-power to France
 These men. put into the training depots in Europe. would be ready for front-line work within four or five months, and they would form g nucleus upon which a skilled army could subsequently, be built up ii
 we desired to go further into the
 matter"
 Palmer said the Hoover plan wal
 reflected because 1t would be fatal to efficiency to mix men of different habits, food, temperaments, and tc I subject Americans to alien control
 as to billets and the way they
 should fight, with racial friction
 and the possibility of indignation
 at home in event of loss of life under alien command.
 Mir Hoover also suggested ap- pointment of a man of cabinet rank to serve as liason officer with the allies. Colonel House recommend.
