the necessary ducts, controls, and
piping for the water. With the
increasing use of winter air con-
ditioning, many homes are al
ready equipped with ducts. The
same conditioners used with hot
water and steam heating plants
can be utilized for cooling pur-
poses by the addition of a special
coil.
Costs for cooling with well
water are low because the only
expense is the operation of the
pump. Eight-room houses in the
Chicago area have been cooled
throughout the summer for as
little as $40, the bureau says.
Maintenance costs are negligible
because there are few wearing
parts, few accessories, and the
controls are relatively simple.

Lag Behind D. c.
In '37 Permits
By JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor


Statistics prove this and that,
including the fact Washington is
far ahead of many larger cities in
volume of building construction.
Usually when such a revelation
is published in the daily press
somebody says:
"Oh, it's principally due to
Government awards"
That is only partly true at the
moment. Most OF the new build
ing here is residential-by and for
private persons.
Leads Five Others
Hence it is significant to know
the District of Columbia led Baiti-
more, Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia
and the Twin Cities in the dollar
value of construction for which
permits were issued in the first
four months of this year.
The local figure was $lS,OO3' 'oOo'
AZ compared with $9,577, 900 in the
corresponding period Of 1885.
But during the flrSt quarter OF
1887 the figure for Baltimore was
only $5.78O, 600; for Boston, $12,-
$4,000; for Detroit, $16,838, COO:
for Philadelphia, $10,913,OOO; and
for the Twin Cities about $685.
900.
The prominence of Washington
Is thus not based on ratios or
population differentials. 1t is
based on straight volume. And
even such a metropolis as Philar
delphia straggles in the rear.
The figures quoted are based on
the latest report of the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics, Department OF
Labor.

poration.
For the District Of Columbia,
Arlington and Fairfax counties in
Virginia, together with Mont
gomery and Prince Georges coun-
ties in Maryland, the construction
volume for the first four months
Of this year totals $30,029, 900.
When the Washington total of
$1S,003, 900 is subtracted, it is evi-
dent the suburbs accounted for
$12,026, 900.
That amount-$12,026, ,000--waS
principally expended for new
homes. More significant is the
fact that it represents more con-
Struction than could be boaSted by
Philadelphia, Baltimore or the
Twin Cities.

Two Shifts Called Easy.
Segier, who opened the drive for
the 40-hour week, said: THE textile
industry is one in which the two
shift system can be most easily ap-
piled. Indeed, according to the ex-
isting international conventions and
legislation of the many countries, 1t is
possible for women and young per-
sons to be employed at any time be-
tween S am. and 10 pm.
Many textile workers, moreover,
have to travel 2, 4, or even more
miles to get to their work. Conse-
quently, If tWo-shift system is being
worked. many women and young per-
sons have to leave their homes at
in the morning in order to be at work
at S o'clock, which is the earliest
hour at which their employment is
permitted. This is surely strong
argument for giving priority to the
textile industry when applying the 40
hour week"
The 40-hour- week is desirable on
social, economic, moral and political
grounds, as well as from the stand
point OF population, Roscher said.

Voliva had claimed the fire, which

Ruesch said Griffith made his con-
fession voluntarily because he feared
four innocent men were being held
as arson suspects. The youth, how
ever, was mistaken. Ruesch said, be-
cause no suspect had been arrested.

BRITAIN LEADS

Proposal Made to Smother
Continental 4O-Hour Week
Demands.
BY BLAIR BOLLES,

ID DLAln DULLES.
Great Britain led the World Textile
Conference today on the question of a
universal 40-hour week for all textile
workers, who outnumber the employees
of any other industry on earth
Following urgent pleas from repre-
sentatives of continental European
workers for immediate adoption Of
the 40-hour week, Anthony J. Murr-
head, British government delegate,
proposed to smother the movement
under a demand for discussion Of
technical questions and for fuller
presentation of the facts"
The Englishman had no sooner
taken his seat than Victor Vandeputte,
outspoken secretary of the Textile
Workers Federation of France, de-
manded immediate adoption of reso-
luton favoring the 40-hour week.

pursue a course of forever demanding
additional information. On the other
hand no one should feel impelled into
agreeing to a line of action on data
which to him seem insufficient or in

Red Cross Army of 100000
School Children Making
Check-Up
INSPECTION OF HOMES

To combat the sharp rise in the
home and farm work accident rate,
the American Red Cross enters the
third consecutive year of its effort
to cut he death and injury toll re-
sulting from accidents in the home
and in agricultural pursuits. Seven
million school children, modified
by the Red Cross, will remove
home and farm work hazards un-
der the direction Of parents dur
ing 1887, the local chapter said.
In 1886 home accident fatalities
increased to $500, surprising
even deaths from automobiles"
Miss Laura A. Bell, chairman, of
the Smyrna Branch Of the Red
Cross said today. She added that
occupational fatalities in connec-
tion with farming had also scared
to 4,5O0, an increase of 100 over
1885.
I'm 1885 Red Cross chapters in
nearly every county in the nation
participated in the safety pro-
gram" Miss Bel stated. From
the valuable experience of this eff
fort it was learned that all COM
munities were in need Of the ser
vice, and this year all chapters will
again join in the home and farm
inspection"
Pointing out that the Red Cross
campaign meets a vital need, Miss
Bell said that according to Nation
al Safety Council statisticians not
only were 38,5OO persons killed as
the result of home accidents, but
that 10000 were permanently in
jured and more than 100000
otherwise hurt, the last figure rep
resenting more than half the injur-
les resulting from all types of acci-
dents.
Students in parochial, private
and public schools are taking part,
according to the local Red Cross.
School children will be given Red
Cross inspection forms and with
the supervision of parents will go
through their homes from cellar to
attic to check on hazards. On the
reverse side of the inspection forms
are listed farm work hazards, and
school children residing in rural
areas will inspect unsafe features
of machinery, animals, home work
equipment and other items which
might cause accidents if not used
with extreme care.
Teachers and educators are CO.
operating intellectually, and
home accident prevention is being
made a classroom project in many
instances" Miss Bell said.
The Smyrna Branch is distribut-
ing accident inspection forms to
school children in the community,
and Junior Red Cross members In
the schools will form the nucleus
of the cleanup brigade pledged to
do everything possible to make it
difficult for home accidents to hap
pen.
The Red Cross inspection form
deals with hazards of floors, stair
ways, porches, household apph-
ances and equipment, tools and
toys, gres, trash, firearms, food.
stuffs, poisons, garage and yard.
On its reverse side are listed farm
home and farm work hazards since
agricultural accidents outnumber
all othr occupational mishaps.
Urging parents and householders
to take time to oversee the safety
efforts of school children who bring
home the Red Cross inspection
form, Miss Bell said, Traffic acci-
dents occur on the highway where
everyone may see them and profit
by their object lesson, but home
