 Use Savage Methods
 London, Oct. 21.-(UP).-The Ethiopian legation issued state- ment today warning Italy that Ethi- opia will resort to savage methods of warfare if Italy does.
 The statement said that if the Italian forces continue to use poison gas and dunn dunn bullets "against a simple and unarmed peo- pie notwithstanding the orders of his majesty, Halle Selassie, it will not be possible. to restrain the more wild and bereaved section of the Ethiopian army from retaliating by some similar savage method on Ital- ian soldiers who may happen to fall into their hands"
 The statement urged the Italian ambassador therefore, instead of troubling to deny what is true, to kindly be so good as to advise his people to fight fairly, if they must fight a brave, unarmed people"
 The ambassadors denial of the use of poison gas and dunn dunn bull lets is based on incorrect informa- tion, the statement said.

Refused Ethiopia

Addis Ababa, Oct. 2l.-(UP)-The United States has refused an Ethi- opian request for permit to ship several American airplanes to this country for use as ambulances, it was learned today. The request was made through Cornelius Van H. Engert, acting United States minis ter.

 The United States replied, 1t is understood, that the neutrality law and the embargo brought into force under it left the government no grounds to permit shipment of planes for any purpose.

expensive homes. 1t was designed by
Edward Spano.
The house is attractively set on a
large lot that has been tastefully

BUILDING SHOWS
68 PER CENT GAIN
Survey in 81 States Dis
closes Big Increase Over
November, 1884.

The construction industry continues
to record larger activity than was
shown a year ago. For November a
contract total for all classes of con-
struction in the amount OF $l88, ll5,O0U
was reported by F. w. Dodge Corp. in
the 81 States east of the Rockies. This
was an increase of about 68 per cent
over the total of Sill, ,69l 500 reported
for the same area in November, 1884
Last months construction volume
however. failed to attain the level OF
5000, SOS, 700 reported by the Dodge or
ganization for October of this year.
November awards for residential
building, as apart from other classes
of construction, totaled $3e, ,695, 200 in
the 81 Eastern States. This was prac-
tically twice the total Of $l9,909, 700
shown for November of last year, and
compares with $55, 100000 reported for
October, 1885.
Non-residential building undertaken
during November amounted to $685.
080 800, as against $39. .439. 500 for No
vember, 1884, and $50, 180, 400 for Oc-
tober, 1885.
Heavy engineering types, generally
classified as public works and utilities,
undertaken during last month in the
81 Eastern States amounted to $780,
339. 500. This compares with $52,342,-
300 for November, 1884, and $685.
900 for October Of this year.
For the II elapsed months of 1895
total construction of all types under
taken in the 81 States amounted tc
81 $50, ,408. 400, as against 81 ,450, ,423 SOC
for the corresponding IL months Of
1884. This represents a gain over last
year of per cent.
The most striking improvement ir
construction has occurred in residen-
tial building. For this class of con-
struction the total for the elapsed II
months of 1885 amounted to $433, ,703, :
900 in the 81 Eastern States, as against
only 1924 ,289, 900 for the correspond
ing IL months of 1884 This repre-
sents a gain of IS per cent over last
year.

was named to the post of assistant
p H. A. field director, but he is already
formulating plans to place the mutual
mortgage insurance plan in the center
of activity when the anticipated great
residential building boom opens here in
the Spring He invites those who plan
to buy homes, and the man with
mortgage he wishes to refinance, to
come to his office on Vermont avenue
and learn the administrations long
term, single-mortgage way of financing.
The new District director has had
wide financial experience about New
York City. He joined the administra-
ton early this year as a special f.
nancial adviser working out of Wash
ington. Recently, he was given the job
of selling" the F. H. A. mortgage plan
in Delaware, and his efforts were re-
warded with considerable success.
Praises Predecessors.
Rowland has high praise for the
work of his predecessors as head of
the District office, Dearing and ]. K.
Gilchrist, the latter now assistant ad-
ministrator, in organizing the local
force as well as sponsoring the mutual
mortgage, and modernization credit
plans of the F. H. A. The Washington
Office has about the best record in the
country in the matter of volume of
loans insured per unit of population.
The mutual mortgage insurance
plan under Title II of the national
housing act was launched here
slightly less than year ago. Since
that time ABS mortgages having
valuation of $3,137,420 have been ac-
tually insured. A large majority of
these gages-422-were refinanc-
ing loans on existing structures, while
slightly more than half million dol
lars worth were for new construction.
However, insurance commitments have
been issued on 260 additional mort
cages, Ill of which are for homes now
under construction. for which insur-
ance papers are in the process of being
issued. This unfinished business on
the books has a valuation of ST.
10000.

Dirst floors in garages get wet and

car in a state of constant dirt. Il is
not a difficult job to lay a concrete
floor; the only precautions to be taken
are that the floor be sloped to drain

be made smooth so that it can easily
