GRANITE INDUSTRY
ARGUES FOR WORK
Delegation Received by
Heath Presents Claim for
Archives Building Job.

The granite industry today presented
to the Treasury Department its claim
that the monumental new Archives
Building should be constructed of gran
tie instead Of limestone.
A delegation of more than Is, headed
by Fairfield McCann, OF the Association
Of Granite QuarrieS. was received by
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Heath, in charge of public buildings.
Several members of Congress were in
the group,
Despite the fact it would cost the
Government more than $1,000,000 to
use granite instead of limestone, the
group protested that this additional
cost would be justified. 1t was charged
that the limestone industry so far had
o virtual monopoly in furnishing stone
for public buildings and that granite
offered greater resistance to the ele-
ments. The building was designed for
granite, they claimed.
The controversy began on November
II when bids we're opened, disclosing
the low bid on limestone from the
George A. Fuller Co. to be $5,284, 900
and the low bid on granite from the
Fleisher Engineering g Construction
Co of Chicago to be s6,477,000
Members of Congress in the delega-
tion included Senators Hale and White
of Maine, Bingham of Connecticut,
Moses Of New Hampshire and Repre-
sentatives Luce of Massachusetts, and
McReynolds of Tennessee.

COURT RULING REVERSED
IN CONDEMNATION CASE

The District Court OF Appeals, in an
opinion by Justice D. Lawrence Groner.
today reversed the action Of the Dis
trict Supreme Court in refusing to
strike out an answer filed by the Dis
trict Commissioners to a suit to can
Gel an assessment for benefits growing
out of a land condemnation. The ap-
peal was taken by Carl H. Smith,
through Attorney Foster Wood.
It was admitted that Smith did not
get actual notice of the condemnation
proceeding until bill for the benefits
had been sent to him when he notified
the Commissioners that he had not
been advised Of the proceeding. He
filed his suit for cancellation year
later. b
Justice Groner held that he could
not be accused of unexcusable delay,
and that it was the duty Of the con-
demning party to perfect the pleadings
In the case and to ask for a reopening
of the condemnation proceeding If
necessary.

SOVIET AND POLAND
.S|GN TWO TREATIES
Russia Expected to Conclude
Cancellation Pact With
France Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, November 28.- Soviet
Russia and Poland. long viewed as ira
ditional enemy countries, placed the
stamp Of final approval today upon two
treaties aimed at peaceful relations be-
tween neighbors.
The act was officially looked upon as
presaging a new era of friendly rela-
tions between Europe's easternmost
country and the nation that lies be-
tween her and much of the rest of the
continent.
In the broader sense foreign circles
saw in the two documents the compile
ton Of series of similar agreements
save with Rumania - between Russia
and all her European neighbors.
This was pointed out in the expecta-
ton that Russia and France would sign
treaty of aggression and concilia-
ton tomorrow.
Rumania May Sign Soon.
Since these two-France and Poland
were the last Of the larger European
states close to Russia to complete pacts
foreign circles looked to Rumania in
the expectation that she would soor
follow suit.
The pacts with Poland were con-
cluded over a long period Of negotia-
ton. The first one Is treaty of nom
aggression, one of the important points
, in the general Soviet foreign policy
The documents declares the eagerness
of both parties to maintain peace, and
commits both to rsnounce war as 9
national policy. This obligates the two
countries mutually to refrain from ag-
gressive acts.
Both agree not to grant direct OF
| indirect help to third state attack
| ing either Of the parties, and not tt
enter into any understanding, which
from the standpoint of aggression
, would be inimical to the other party.
Cancellation Agreement.
The second pact is corollary agree.
ment OF conciliation, setting up pro.
cedure for settling disputes between
the two countries
The non-aggression pact was init.
ated last July and the conciliatior
agreement on November IL, Officia
announcement of ratification was made
in Moscow yesterday.
Rumania and Russia have been ne
gotiating for the completion Of a non-
aggression treaty for some time. The
latest negotiations tangled on the diff.
ferences between the two countries ovel

The Health Department, in its
effort to secure the correction OF
physical defects of school children
will bear in mind that the correc-
ton of these defects before children
enter school is of even greater adj
vantage to the child than correction
during school life.
In order to cover as many as pos
sible of the ninety schools of the
county, the examination of the chill
dren in most of the schools will be
carried out as rapidly as possible.
In these schools, teachers will be
asked to refer to the Health Officer
only those children who, they think,
would most benefit by an examina-
ton.
Acute Communicable Diseases
The policy of the Health Depart
ment in the past has been to visit
cases of diphtheria, scarlet fever and
less important. communicable diseases
by nurses. Cases of typhoid fever
spotted fever and other diseases re-
quiring special investigation are Wis.
tied by the health officer. Diseases
are in practically all instances moi
placarded. While some objection has
been raised to failure to use placards
in the suburban areas, it is felt that
the present system should continue
unless more objections are raised
1T is known that as a rule only
about one-half of the cases of the
less important communicable diseases
are reported and inasmuch as the
putting up of placards sometimes
acts as a deterrent to reporting il
is considered by many good public
health practice not to require placard.
ing.
incubation against typhoid fever
will be urged through newspaper
articles particularly during the va
cation season when persons are
likely TO contract the disease from
water, milk, or other foods taken
from home.
Sanitation-The most important
step in sanitation is the continuation
of the work with the committee Of
dairymen to draw up regulations con-
