FORGOT
TO REMEMBER

w. c. Sloan, general man
ager of the defendant, glibIy
swOre that during his many
years of service as roadmast-
er and manager, there had new
er been any flood trouble at
Wibaux. Sloan forgot that he
had done some swearing else
where. The widow of a Sec
ton man drowned in the flood
of 1921 had sued the company
IN North Dakota. Sloan had
been a swift witness for the
company in that case. The
record Of the North Dakota
Supreme Court was pulled"
on him. He blushingly adj
mitted that there he had tes-
titled that the flood of 1921
had destroyed much track and
wrecked a freight train at Wi
baux..
Broken down on this first star
witness from there on the defense
developed into a farce comedy. One
old faker who took 80 pages to
tell of the wonderful things he had
done in the world of 'hydrology''
testified to some great calculations
he had made on surveys and high
water marks of the volume of wa
ter flowing in and out of Wibaux.
Coached by Lyman, plaintiffs
counsel got from this old mounte-
bank the astonishing statement
that there was always as much as
81 300 cubic feet per second run
ming out of town through the rail-
road bridge and viaduct and never
more than $4,000 cubic feet per
second running into the town dur
ing the flood. AS there was no
rain in Wibaux during the flooc
some wag remarked that the ex-
cess of HOO cubic feet per second
running out over what was coming

Home Construction
 Key { To Prosperity
Building Material Division Head of Sears Roebuck Co
 Sees This as Surest Road to Recovery

New York, Jan 13-Business looks to home construction to lead the way back to prosperity in 1881, but this upward trend, whi1e it will be apparent shortly, is being retarded by lack of proper organization with in the industry for the protection of the home buyer, according to liar vey l.. Harris, general manager of the building materials division ot Sears. Roebuck and Company, in g statement made public to-day.
 All eyes are turned on home building prospects in scanning the business future" the statement reads. ,...
 Residential construction, has suf: fered the longest and severet de- pression in the vast building indus try, over a period of moro than two years, the longest since war days. No considerable or permanent re- covery in the construction industry generally may be expected except under the leadership of residential! construction
 Low interest rates have always in past depressions preceded revival of residential construction. The lag or delay between cheap money and residential construction has in the past ranged from a few weeks to a year. But it has cust omarily been accompanied by Twill to buy or the part of the public and a bal ancing of supply and demand in housing.
 ""These factors are not now pro- nounced enough to justify expecta ton of an immediate sharp upturn The oversupply of housing of cer- | tain character has been largely bu, | not entirely absorbed, and the gen. eral confidence or twill to by" or the part of the public. which would largely balance this oversupply bJ writing off obsolecent housing an' demanding new house awaits more attractive offerings by builders gen erally.
 Hope for pronounced increase in new residential construction lies largely in the direction of adding tt home owners frorV among thos. who in the past have been held ii the renters class-in many instances in obsolete or inadequate housing by high cost of financing and con- struction and lack of standardlZa tion of residential values.
 Small home construction must be organized to appear to thousands of families who are now unable te own their homes because of these factors. The decline in the construc- ton of home economically prac ticable for this large class actually started at the end of 1925 while the decline in construction of residen tial buildings as q whole was delayed two and a half years after that | Therefore the first renewal of de- mand in residential construction may be expected in the small hous. building.

NEW YORK WORLD EDITOR TALKS ON
 NEWSPAPERS
Spoke Before Yale Students Last Night and lnciden- tally Took a Crack at "YellOW Journalism"

New Haven, Conn, Jan 13.-UP) -"Yellow journalism" emancipated the American press from the control of hidden interests but it will not endure, in the opinion of Walter Lippmann, editor of the New York World.
 Addressing Yale students last night on the Paul Block Journalism Foun- dation, Lippmann said the American press has 'become freer from hid den control than any in the world.
 "This," he declared, "is the great service performed by the popular commercial press, otherwise known as yellow journalism. and in its lat est and perhaps last manifestation as tabloid journalism It is the hrst politically independent press which the world has known.
 Yellow journalism will not endure Lippmarn n believed, because it con tains within itself the seeds of it's own dissolution" It will fail because it attempts to attract attention con stantly by exciting vivid attention: ",This method soon eXhausts itself, said Lippmann. "When everything is dramatic, nothing is dramatic; when everything is highly spiced, nothing after awhile has much flavor
 Lippmann said journalism was un- dergoing a revolution, dating from 'the profound revulsion among edu- cated people and among newspaper men themselves at the orgy Of iying which the war propaganda let loose."
 "The most impressive event in the last decade in the history Of news papers has been the demonstration that the objective, orderly and com prehensiye presentation of news is a far more successful hope of jour nalism to-day than the dramatic, disorderly, episodic type" he con cluded.

tial construction the industry has nj the present q productive capacity considerably larger than it can prof. ltabiy employ in the near future. Realization of this fact has been one of the really hopeful develop. fnents of 1880.
 "1n other words the home build ing industry must organize to sell for the benefit of the buyer, not for the exclusive benefit of the builder. the real estate owner, the materia /; dealer, the contractor and the smai; mortgage source, all of whose prof. its under the existing system ara pyramided upon the home buyer at the end Of the operation.
 When enough individual units in the industry are able to offer mass production and reduced prices both as to material. construction and fin. ancing, substantial demand for new residential construction may be expected to develop quickly"
