The laying Of the corner stone today
for erection of a building to house the
Social Service Center Of the Salvation
Army marks the Inauguration Of what
Is expected to be a new era in the
handling of transient men in the
Capital.
When completed the building will
have accommodations for IS men, in
cluding sleeping rooms, dining room
and recreation halls. The men ad-
mitted to the center are put to work at
once collecting various articles from
all parts Of the city.
These articles Of clothing, furniture
and odds and ends are taken to the
workshop of the center and repaired or
renovated to be resold. There will be
a storeroom in the new building for
the sale of these articles, proceeds of
which go toward the support Of the
center.
The building, which will be located
at First and F streets, will be adjacent
to the workshop, located in the same
block, making, officials believe, for
greater efficiency and more successful
handling Of the men.

Nationwide Columbia network
i each Saturday, Eastern stand

Since its inception September is,
the program, which Is both Roxy's first
sponsored series and his first series on
Columbia network, has become one Of
the most popular air offerings Of the
week end. Against the musical back
ground supplied by the large concert
orchestra and mixed chorus, directed
by Leon Rosebrook, Roxy presents the
many talented young members Of his
gang.
Among those who have won wide
acclaim are Aimee Deloro, colorature
soprano; Sue Read, diminutive per-
sonality songstress; the team of Her
bert Kingsley, pianist and blues
singer, and Vicki Chase, classic
soprano; Alfred Seville, operatic and
concert baritone: Larry Taylor, 18-
year-old popular baritone; Darrell
woodward, bass: the Roxyaires, male
quartet; Lillian Morton, the vest pock-
ct comedienne; and Henrietta Schu-
mann, young concert pianist.
Roxy, who celebrated his 18th an
n1versary as radio Snowman Novem-
Der IT, is attempting in the series to
preserve something Of the informality
and warmth that characterized the
pioneer days of broadcasting. The
results have been more than gratifying

NOVEMBER SHOWS
DROP IN AWARDS.
Construction Figures OFF
From October, F. W.
Dodge Corp. Says.

The construction award figures for
November exhibited q decline both as
contrasted with data for october and
with the figures for November of last
year, according to F. w. Dodge Cor
poration.
Losses from the previous month
were noted in each of the four prin-
cipal classes of construction: About
nine million dollars In public works;
Az million dollars in non-residential
buildings; million dollars in public
utilities, and more than 6 million
dollars in residential buildings. This
discouraging because it occurred in
that phase of construction where F.
H. A. aid has been chiefly centered.
Declines in contracts from the data
of year ago were shown in resi-
dental buildings and public works of
such size as to more than entirely
offset the gains reported in non-resi-
dental buildings and public utility
types. The November construction
contract total, all classes, amounting
to $l11,740,80 in the 81 Eastern
States, was more than 80 per cent be-
hind the volume of $l62, $40 500 report
ed for November, 1888, and compares
with $135 ,224, 800 for October of this
year.
For the elapsed II months of 1884
contracts for construction, all types,
totaled 81 ,450, ,426, 900 in the 81 States
as compared with $1,048, ,498 900 for
the corresponding months of 1888.
Cumulative increases over 1888 were
shown for each major construction
classification; 1877 million dollars in
public works; 161 million dollars in
non-residential buildings; A million
dollars in public utility types, and
only 9 million dollars in residential
buildings. Commenting on the small
gain in residential work the Dodge
organization states:
1T must be remembered that the
contract figures include both new and
alteration projects. 1t is of interest,
therefore. to note that on the side of
residential building, the entire gain
in contracts thus far reported for 1884
was due to alterations; but for this
gain in alteration and modernization
projects, the residential contract total
for the II months of 1884 would have
fallen behind the 1888 level by about
five million dollars"
