STILL TIED Up

Jurisdictional disputes on Fed

today than ever, and the Westing-
house Electric Elevator Company
has announced it will stop installa-
ton of elevators in the I. C. c.
Labor Department buildings un-
less the dispute on this point is
settled within a week.
All other work on the buildings
already has been stopped as a
result of the strike Of carpenters
September l as a protest against
radiator cover installation by
ironWorkers. This has caused un-
employment for 1000 men and a
payroll loss of $120,000.
Attempts of the ironworkers to
enforce double shift with a four
hour working day to take up un-
employment in their ranks, are
being contested by the contractors,
and an appeal to the courts is in
prospect.

BUILDING HEAD
SEES UPTURN

CINCINNATI, Sept. 30.-Build-
ing and loan associations through
out the country are not being
called upon to repurchase half as
many of their investors shares as
they were three months ago, it is
noted by H. F.. Cellarius, of Gin
cinnati, secretary treasurer of the
United States Building and Loan
League.
He halls this slackening of the
depression drain upon the ordi-
nary resources of the associations
not only as a sign of generally in
creased confidence, but also as an
indication that the Wage-earning
and low-Salaried classes are grad
ually finding jobs to pay their liv-
ing expenses, thus leaving their
savings intact.
Cellarius bases his observations
upon the reports of early fall con-
ditions from the secretaries of 38
State leagues of building and loan
associations.
Some States report substantial
amounts of new money coming in
both from old and new investors.
Bright spots in some of the other
States are the continuance Of

U. S. Randle, owner and de-
veloper of Randle Highlands, has
added new note of efficiency
and convenience in providing
General Electric equipment in the
kitchen of his newest model home
at 1906 Twenty-eighth st. S. E.
Realizing the trend toward
the use of electricity in the

DRIVE To BOOM
REFRIGERATION
IN WINTER

Coincident with major efforts
being made by the country's
leading gas companies, the Wash
ington Gas Light Company has
Just launched an intensive cam
paign to acquaint washington
housewives with the necessity OF
the proper preservation of food
during the winter months.
H. M. Brundage, jrp sales
manager of the company, IN an
interview today stated that his
company had made a very large
increase in its appropriation for
advertising in accordance with a
well-directed plan to sell more
Electrolux gas refrigeratorS dur
ing the next three months than
have ever been sold in a like
period in the history of the COM
pany.
Nationwide Program
This campaign is part OF a
Nationwide program Of the Amer
ican Gas Association to bring to
users of gas the benefits of scien-
tific food preservation through
the use of the Electrolux gas
refrigerator.
Proper refrigeration of the
household food supply is as i'm
portant in winter as in summer.
It might be felt that this is ur1-
necessary since winter, generally
associated with cold temperatures,
would provide the necessary pro-
lection for food. This does not
follow, however, because the
kitchen, in which food is stored,
is a part of the living quarters
of the home and as such is kept
at a temperature of about 10
degrees.
Kitchen Always Warm
It is always summer in the
kitchen and foods will spoil if
kept unprotected very long at this
temperature. Even food kept in
cellars is not properly protected
for although the cellar is usually
cooler than the kitchen it's tenn
perature is rarely as low as SO
degrees. Often dust, ashes or
other conditions make food
storage in such places insanitary.
Ordinances and health measures
require that certain foods be kept
at low temperatures until sold, to
retard bacterial action and pre-
vent spoilage. The same pre-
cautions are essential in the home
and the Electrolux gas refrigerator
provides these low temperatures
continuously for the protection of
food.

A warning to property owners

LOAN
GROUPS GAIN

CHICAGO, Oct. IA sizeable
increase of investments in build
ing and loan associations took
place in July, sufficient to indi-
cate that midsummer was the up
ward turning point for these
home-financing institutions.
This report came from the
United States Building and Loan
League, national trade organiza-
ton of the 10,997 associations.
The league executive manager,
Morton Bodfish, says that the
first five States reporting for their
building and loan associations as
of August l showed more than
$1,OOOO00 gain in total assets over
the figure registered on July /.
The States reporting for this
July include representatives Of
the East, Pacific Coast, Middle
West and Southwest.
Further Substantiation of the
fact that the increase in resources
this July came from new invest
ments is seen in the figures on
new share accounts opened by
savers with the associations dur
ing that month.
For the five reporting States the
new shares were nearly twice as
numerous in July as in June or
in the spring months. On basis
of these preliminary figures, Mr..
Bodfish estimates that new share
accounts in July must have to-
tailed around $4,000 nationally.

b NHTED CITY AREAS OFFER BIG TESTS TO RECOVERY
HOME VALUES
HELD TOO Low
At PRESENT

The greatest need of all home
owners today is a restoration of
a fair, sound basis of residential
values, according to Arthur j.
Mertzke, economist to the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board, in
an article in the current issue
of the Journal of the American
Institute of Real Estate Ap-
praisers of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards. He
said:
"The average man can no
more discern real property
values in a period of depreS-
sion than he can see the sky
line of a city in a fog. At the
present time the current mar.
ket price of every parcel of real
estate in the United States is
far below the trend of real es-
tate values for the past two
decades"
He said he main essential to

Architects See Urgent Need
For Transforming Many
Depraved ViCinities

CHICAGO, Oct. T. Blighted
areas must be rebuilt "if our
cities are to escape bankruptcy
and the citizens freed from utter
poverty and depravity," accord
ing to Henry K. Holsman, of the
Chicago chapter of the American
Institute of Architects.
During the last decade, the
building industry, while employ
ing nearly one-fourth of all the
wage earners in the country, built
no homes within the rent rate
of that two-thirds of all Ameri-
can families whose incomes are
below $4,000 a year, Mr.. Holsman
points out.
Philadelphia Case
Mr.. Holsman cites conditions
In Philadelphia, where it was
found that for the last 10 years
no housing was built which 48
per cent of the population could
afford to occupy, while 81 per
cent of all new housing was built
for the II per cent of the popu-
lation having incomes from $4,000
TO $4,000 a year. Holsman says:
consequently many low wage
earnerS were encouraged to
assume rent burdens too heavy
for them to bear, with subse-
quent disaster to both the pro-
ducerS and the users.
Half of Philadelphia pOpu-
IatiOn must live in the old, OBJ
sOlete houses, many thousands
of which are not fit for human
habitatiOn."
Chicago, it is estimated by the
illinois Housing Commission, has
36 square miles, or about $4,000
acres of blighted area where the
ordinary municipal services for the
area cost more than two and one
half times the revenue levied
thereon.
A Real Test
Much of this blighted area
mas been reduced to SlumS. The
homeless men and drifting WON.
en- and vicious and rcsentful
gangs gather there and multiply
and propagate their kind. The
lightlets, vermin infested, diIap-
idated buildings increase and
propagate physical and mental
disease.
Improperly housed workers
and school children are perpet-
ually tired, inefficient, despond-
ent, or hopeless and irritable
conditions that may be, in the
aggregate, as great menace to
society as disease, vice, and
crime, their Offspring.
"Here then is a most fertile
field for the employment of
our great productive capacity on
a collective undertaking to i'm
prove the conditions of our COM
man life.' 1t is a test case for
cooperating leadership"

condition? Do you know that two or
three weeks of its gentle stimulation
has done the most amazing things
for lots of women?
This means OF stimulating the
system TO new life is a doctors

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. II is made
from fresh herbs. active SIENNA. and
pure pepsin. From the day you be-
gin with il. you will feel better; one
spoonful disposes of any bilious
headache: larger dose relieves any
constipated condition. A little now

LETTERS FROM THE
PEOPLE ss.

A neighbor remarked to us last
week that ga business man in a
neighboring town said he could
get all the men he wanted to work
for SOC a day.
Is this an existing wage" for
a man with a family of four? lis
that an unreasonable number?)
He must work four days to pay
for call at the doctors office; to
pay for his local paper; and a
whole day to get his hair cut.
Are not the two classes our
country cannot live without, the
farmer and the worker?
And do not educators, doctors,
lawyers, each come from these
classes? Should not the ''cost of
living be based on what these
two classes can afford and as
they are the producers should they
not have the best there is?
Why are small wages or sal
aries the first to be cut, thus caus-
ing millions to be wholly or in
part dependent on charity? Is it
charity?
