Italy Doing Fine


 Italy is ine-going ahead slowly but surely. Say what you may about Mussolini, but he is a great man, and a big one He is doing a fine job over there and is building a great country. Some magnificent buildings are being erected, but the greateSt job l saw was the draining of that lm- mense marshy swamp between Rome and Naples. Where once was only a waste of mosquito breeding and fever making swamp land is now one of the most fer tile spots in all Italy. Three beau tifui cities are springing up there and millions of acres of the rich est soil I ever saw are now in pro- duction. I saw the troops coming home from the Ethiopian cam paign poor, broken down old men. veterans of all the Worlds War. Mussolini did not send his young men to Ethiopia, he sent the old men and kept the young men at home to work and raise families. Now these poor old souls have been sent on to Spain and are fighting there. You know Europe is getting back to the an cient idea of hiring out soldiers, and that is what Italy is doing now. They are furnishing men and guns, tanks and trucks, fight ing planes and submarines, and taking pay for it from Spain. Germany is doing the same thing.

Ne,U Cen,eating g Material Found
Of Vide Use in Building Arts
addition of Copper Ponder to Mag
nesium Oxychloride Gives 1t Strength
and Resistance to abrasion.

A new cementing material resem-
bling the natural mineral, atacamite,
promises wide usefulness to the build
ing arts, Dean S. Hubbell of the Mel
lon Institute of Industrial Research
reports in Industrial and Engineering
Chemistry, publication Of the Ameri-
can Chemical Society.
Suitable as the cementing constitu-
ent in composition floors, stucco, tiles
and many other building parts. the
new inorganic adhesive consists Of
magnesium oxychloride cements to
which 10 per cent Of finely divided
copper powder has been added. Un-
usual properties result from combin-
ing the cement and metal. Strength
and resistance to abrasion is greatly
increased, damage by water prevented,
harmful expansion eliminated and
surface changes reduced. The ad-
hesive makes a permanent bond with
Portland cements.
For the purpose Of providing nom
skid surfaces, coatings one-e.ghth to
one-fourth inch thick of the cement
composition were troweled onto a
smooth concrete walk" Mr.. Hubbell
says. The adhesion TO the concrete
and its resistance to damage by
abrasion and water was demonstrated
by the perfect condition of the walk
after seven months of constant wet
ting, during which time over 250,00o
people walked over it.

PLUMBING INDUSTRY
SALES GAIN 35 PCT.
Business in 1886 Amounted to
$1,000, 100000, Bureau
Report Reveals.

Sales of plumbing and heating
equipment during 1886, including in
stallation costs, amounted to more
than $1,000, 100000, according to the
Plumbing and Heating Industries Bu-
reau.
The total sales volume OF the in
dustries in 1886 was 35 per cent better
than in 1885. Continued improve
ment in 1887 is predicted by the
bureau.
A substantial percentage Of the
heating and plumbing equipment sold
in 1886 was used in the modern
ization of residential, commercial and
industrial property, the bureau points
out.
Also accounting for the mounting
sales total is the fact that the new
house has more plumbing and better
heating. A study of specifications
shows the increasing ratio of plumb
ing and heating sales to the building
dollar. A quality public is
buying mechanical equipment with
more consideration of maintenance

BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

An increase of 60 per cent over
January, 1896. was shown by private
building construction last month, ac-
cording to the report Of Building In
spector John w. Oehmann. Valuation
of construction during the month
reached total of $2,460,6l5.
Building in January of last year was
valued at S1,585,725. All types of
building with the exception of one
family dwellings shared in the gain,
with the increase especially marked
in alterations, additions and repairs
to existing structures.
Permits for 96 one-family dwellings,
valued at $629.65O, were issued during
January by Col Oehmann's office.
This is IA less than in the correspond
ing month of 1886 Twenty-four
apartments, with a capacity of 277
families, were included in the list of
permits. Apartment construction in
the month had a valuation of
S579,500.
Modernization work to existing
buildings totaled S752,ll5 Tor tne
month, as compared with s2l8,000 for
January of last year. Office buildings
valued at S4o0 loco were approved for
erection in the month.
The northwest section led all the
ythers both in valuation of new con-
struction and modernization work
Totals for the section in new building
work are as follows: Northwest,

Modernization totals: Northwest
S629050; northeast. s53,310, south
east, S48,235; southwest, S2l,520.
Real estate brokerage Offices re-
ported sales as unusually brisk during
the month, despite highly unfavor-
able weather. Many firms stated that
prospects were actually 'wading
through mud and water" to inspect
properties for sale. Experts in the
business predict that activity in Spring
will greatly exceed that Of last year,
with conditions almost as favorable
as In pre-depression days.
