lambs wool and much more durable.
The yarn used is dyed in vegetable
dyes and is fadeless. One or two Of
the rugs displayed are over 100 years

when first woven. Also they are very
engaging in design. One has an angel
pattern suggesting in its naive SIM

rations for the most part consist Of
typical Finnish figures. Finlands
neighbor. Sweden, has been a leader
in this field and the Orrefors glass
has become world famous. We in this
country are following closely-and we
believe creditably-in Sweden's lead.
So also it is seen in Finland. In fact.
already the Helsingfors glass IS widely
and favorably known.
The tableware Of pottery Is mod
ernistic in design but well adapted
to use. OF all the exhibits shown the
iron work is the least meritorious and
impressive. Obviously the danger
which confronts Finland in the de-
velopment Of her industrial arts Is
that which confronts all of our older
nations today-of holding on to tradi-
ton without being enslaved by 1t;
and also of preserving quality when
producing in quantity.
Perhaps the brightest spot in this
exhibition, and one which gives best
assurance of continuity in merit, is
that occupied by the dolls, big and
little. in native costume. A nation
which makes and plays with such
dolls is still imbued with the spirit of
youth and capable of fresh adventure.
A private view of this exhibition was
given yesterday afternoon for a group
OF Washingtonians especially inter-
ested in art following a luncheon at
which the Minister of Finland and
Nine. Jarnevelt and the Secretary of
Commerce and Mrs. Roper were guests
Of honor. The company included DR..

BUILDING CLIMBS
WELL ABOVE 1885
Home Construction in Nine
Months Is 23 Per Cent
Ahead of Year Ago.
~ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October 10.-Residen-
tial building in the first nine months
OF 1896 totaled % per cent more than
was reported for the entire year Of
1885. F. w. Dodge Corp. reported.
THE full year promises to reach q
volume three times the size shown
for either 1888 or 1894 the low points
of the depression" the report said.
The volume of this type of building
in the 81 Eastern States during this pc
Rod amounted to $3.50, 030, 800, against
$685., DOT 500 for the same nine months
Of 1885. a gain Of 70 per cent. For
September alone, the residential total
was $50, 1858. 300, compared with SAL
$4,000 for September, 1885. and
500, So, 500 for August Of this year.
Commenting on current condition,
the Dodge organization said:
I'm pre-depression days residential
building led all other classes by a wide
margin. During September there &C.
CURED for the first time since the final
quarter Of 1928 a residential total In
excess of that for either non-residen-
tial building or heavy civil engineering.
This change in relationship repre-
sents a healthy development, and
within the near future the predomi-
nance of residential building may
again likely become the usual rela-
tionship rather than the exception
one"
Total construction work of all kinds
started in the 81 Eastern States dur
ing September amounted to 1884,
750, 900, against $275, 281 400 in August
and S167 ,376. 200 for September last
year, the report said. A reduction in
the volume of publicly financed con-
struction largely accounted for the
shrinkage between August and Sep
TENDER Of this year.
For the first nine monthe Of 1896
total construction in the 81 States
amounted to $2,041 1927, 200. a gain Of
II per cent over s1,l9l, 6s7. 700 shown

Both public works and private work

BY LEILA MECHLIN.
N EXHIBITION of industrial
n art from Finland opened to-
~ day on the second floor Of
4 a Woodward & Lothrop's under
the patronage of the Minister Of Fin
land to the United States. This is a
unique exhibition. the first Of its kind
in this city and one Of the first in this
country. It covers q wide field Of
artistic activity and Is extensive. In
fact SO extensive is it that, although
q large amount Of space has been
allotted to the display, the exhibits will
be changed every two or three days
in order that, in rotation, all may be
seen.
The purpose of this exhibition obvi-
ously is the advancement Of friendship
through understanding on the part Of
our two nations-Finland and the
United States. To effect this no me-
dunn could be better than the arts
which speak universal language. In
no way can the ideals and aspirations
of a people be better realized than
through the things they make and
with which they surround themselves
in their homes.
The art of Finland, manifested in
her crafts. dates back to the time of
the Vikings, in the dawn Of history.
Included in this exhibition are copies
Of jars, we'll shaped and decorated,
which were found in graves from 1 900
to AGO years old. The Republic of Fin
land lies. it will be remembered, north
west of Russia, near neighbor Of Swed-
en- and Norway. 1t is land of forests
and swamps, short Summers and long
Winters, long days and, when the sea-
son changes very long nights. Its
artistic industries began and for CEN
turtles were carried on in the homes Of
the farmers and peasantry. To a
great extent they are still and it is
these individualistic, handmade prod
ucts which constitute the finest section
of this exhibition.
The weavings shown In this exhibi-
lion can be commanded without res
