uaily eliminate the pest.

Question:
When should young birds be
vaccinated for poX or sorehead?
Answer:
Young birds are more SuScepti-
bic to thi~ trouble than adults and
the best time to vaccinate Is when
the birds are from ID to Is weeks
old. At this time, the chicken pOx
virus mot pigeon poN should be
used. Pull a few feathers from
the thigh and rub the small brush,
which comes with the vaccinating
material. over the holes. When
vaccinating is once started, all
birds on the place should be treat
ed as the vaccinatin% material Is
alive and might find IS way to the
face pats of unvaccinated birds
and thus spread the disease.

HOUSE BUILDING
COSTS JUMP %76
F. H. |. B. Review Reveals
Increase in Construction
of Six.Room Home.

The cost Of building a standard
six-room house in the average Ameri-
can city increased during the last two
years by $476. the Federal Home Loan
Bank Review revealed today In an
article based on its monthly building
cost index. Data for the reviews
conclusions were collated from reports
Of 90 representative communities.
Higher prices for building materials,
the review found. were responsible for
$3.50 Of the increase, while wages paid
to labor in the building trades ac-
counted for $2l6 Of the rise.
Building costs reached a peak for
the two-year period in August. 1897.
Since then the prices Of materials
have declined some, and wages by a
lesser amount. the article stated.
In January, 1886" the review said,

lures have a similar or less duration.
1t is, of course, inadvisable to have
a four-hour wall with a 15-minute
window. BY proper adjustment Of
duration values, composite buildings
can also be provided to accommodate
several different kinds of occupan-
cies."
Users of local codes should be made
aware of mandatory requirements in
State laws with regard to fire and
panic, health and sanitation, Stor-
age and use of inf1ammable liquids,
explosives, motion picture booths and
similar safety measures, Mr.. Boyd
continues.
Code authorities should also real

for the standard six-room house)
was $1,577. In February. 1898, ma
terial costs had risen to $3,474 and
labor costs to $l,793.
Thus, although material costs were
responsible for more of the dollar
increase In the cost OF building the
standard house than the cost of labor
at the site, direct labor costs rose 1877
per cent, as compared with an in
crease in material costs Of 81 per
cent"
During the last two years there was
first general rise and then a decline
In building costs. However. while the
national average does show this gen.
eral rise and fall trend, it does not
necessarily reflect specific local trends.
Thus, local trends may differ in GER
tain particular aspects from the
national trend.
Since the peak in total costs during
the summer of 1887, material costs
have declined in every Federal Loan
Bank district, while labor costs have
declined in only five districts" the
article said. Those districts where
the decline in labor was sharpest were
those where the previous increase in
cost had been most drastic"

BUILDING HELD TONIC

In recent speech before the United
States Chamber Of Commerce, Ernest
T. Trigg, president Of the National
Paint. Varnish and Lacquer Associa-
tion, spoke Of the country's need for q
large number of small homes. He en-
phasized the stimulation to employ
ment Of men and capital in conjunc-
ton with the revival Of general busi-
ness that attends rise in the building
business.
In normal times" Mr.. Trigg stated,
"the construction industry employs
more men than any other industry or
any other activity, excepting only agri-
culture. The resultant pay rolls from
such employment spread over all in
dustries and activities and produce
business for every one" He recon-
mended that encouragement be given
to certain government and civic insti-
tutes and administrations in their ac-
tivities in connection with financing
and developing housing projects.

The radiator need lot be placed
under a window when it is recessed,
and the actual size of the radiator
may be cut down because the draft
created by the wall stacks in which
the radiator is set carries the heat

management has refused to abide by
the new law.
On the basis of actual records, sup
plemented by an exchange of opinion
among interested parties and the pos
session of information recently accumu-
lated In connection with the British labor
laws, these conflicting opinions might
be reconciled in clarifying" amend
ments in such a conference as is now
proposed. In addition. the path might
be cleared to certain changes in ad-
ministrative and procedural practices
which have precipitated frequent criti-
cism.
In passing it might be pointed out
that just as the internal differences OF
labor have complicated and intensified
the difdcult task of the Labor Relations
Board, 30 do they present a potential
obstacle, to effective consideration of
steps to improve the law. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that all factions OF
labor, as we'll as other interested groups,
will recognize this to be an opportunity
not for mutilating a generally desirable
law. but rather for shaping 1t to point
Of more perfect operation for all parties
affected.

Labor Law Round Table.

Both friends and foes of the Labor
Relations Act should cooperate willingly
in the parley to be called by President
Roosevelt to consider changes in the
law.
An administration measure, the act
has been subjected during the past three
years to steady and telling barrage of

successfully weathered the legal attacks,
but real doubt exists as to whether 1t

Of its practical application.

1t is difhcult IN the absence of strictly
comparative conditions to determine the
actual effect of the law in this direction,
but its foes claim that 1t has increased
the causes of such labor disputes and
magnified the obstructions to commerce.
Their contention Is countered by the

LIES MAJOR INTEREST
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN d. D, L. D. D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON

A distinguished American writer the
late John Jay Chapman, was a student
as boy At one of Our leading New
England schools. In later years when
his sons were pupils Of the school lone
OF them being Victor Chapman the
famous ace killed in action, he took
occasion to write an addKess to the boys
and young men in which he spoke with
deep feeling about the place religion-the
Christian religion-occupies in life. He
fully realized how confused youth is as
he seeks to understand the place religion
must have In the scheme Of life and how
inadequate at times 1t seems to be when
brought to bear upon life's practical prob
lens. Mr.. Chapman certainly sensed all
this In his address. He said: RELIGION
Is not SO much thing by itself, as q
way OF feeling, an inward experience as
to the nature OF life, which colOrs and
changes the world. 1t Is q personal ex-
perience. Religion is the consciousness
Of the presence OF God. When all else is
taken, it rushes in I should say seems
TO rush In. for it is really present in all
men, only disguised and concealed by the
clouds Of other interests and occupa-
tions'
In this Chapman is profoundly true.
1t was Sabatier who said: Man is in
curably religious 1t is commonly said
today that this is an irreligious age. This
is based upon superficial knowledge of
life. No matter how Indifferent our time
seems to be to the appeal of religion, it
cannot be rid Of it II it would. Chap
man appraises the inherent religious
spirit, however imperfectly or made
quately 1t may express itself. He con-
tinues his memorable address by asking:
What is this religion that seems to be
OF 50 much Importance? Some people
seem to believe that 1t is pocketed in
scriptural texts and surely fitted into the
catechiSm."
Speaking more directly to the boys he
says: "All this language OF religious feel
ing that surrounds you Is the language
OF the mystery OF life. That mystery will

oil industry, the automobile industry and
the steel industry are referred to as in
dustries in which this development might
be permitted to occur.
Then, nth, that the Government it
self 60 into production in some fields
Il am pretty clear In my own mind
that, within 10 years, we shall be forced
into a vast expansion of direct produc-
tion of one sort or another" Mr.. Berle
wrote, "and that this is likely to be on
q more or less regional basis, rather than
on q strictly industrial basis. The Ten
nessee Valley Authority may very we'll
prove to be the great example in this
regard.
THE advantages are obvious. Pro-
duction without interruption because Of
annual fluctuations Is possible; 80 is dis
tribution without intervention Of the
usual cumbrous, wasteful marketing
process"
Here the man who is advising Presi-
dent Roosevelt recommends pushing into
fields that lie beyond the New Deal.
When businessmen and columnists
realize the implications Of Mr.. Berle's
suggestions, the cherring that they now
provide for his criticism Of some New
Deal policies may become . bit less en-
thusiaStic.

endure forever. It will outlast cor1tem-
porary science, and overshadow future
science. 1t comes TO you in the voice of
many generations speaking about the
profoundest truths of life. You are liv-
ing in the sound Of that voice; you hear
1t unconsciously at times: you catch a
few syllables that seem meant for YOU,
they are communications from the great
power in the midst OF which our whole
life Is lived-the power which drives and
is our life
Such challenge to recognize life's
major interest, lifts it above the confu-
sions and disorders that at times environ
1t; gives it dignity, yes, and . meaning
that makes 1t survive all disappontments
and defeats. When Christ said to q
scholarly inquirer, Nicodemus, "Ye must
be born again." He was amrming the
possibilities Of mans highest and truest
development. He was asserting that,
greater than the physical, yes, and the
intellectual, was the spirit in man which
bears resemblance to the indestructible
life of God Himself To be born again
meant to recognize and develop the real
self, to release it from its earthbound
tendencies and to fill it with power that
should make it capable of surviving all
the mishaps and misfortunes of life and
to come at length to its highest attain
ment That there is much OF mystery in
life is made evident to us every day; the
solution Of this mystery is found in
Christ's Interpretation Of life; its deliv-
erance from fear, its assertion of its
divine nature, its affirmation of ultimate
triumph over death itself
A religion that can recreate man, and
that recreates the agencies and institu-
tions with which he has to do, is, as
Chapman says, THE power which drives
and Is our life" Whether its youth or
the more mature, there is that in the
acceptance and practice of Christ's way
OF life, that means rebirth the recovery
OF that which at times seems to be lost
1t means life at its best-redeemed and
triumphant.

Wings of the Wind.

Three years ago. paced by the Offering
OF = series of trophies by The Evening
Star, sails Joined in the Presidents Cup
regatta competitions. At that time nifty
sailors entered their craft. Last year
some l25 competed and this week invita-
tions are to be sent out which are ex-
pected to bring at least 200 entries Of
sailboats for the coming regatta.
The inclusion OF sailing in the Presi-
dents Cup races has been the most i'm
portant contributing factor to the revival
OF the sailboat on the Potomac River.
After the World War sails appeared to
be dying out in the Middle Atlantic
States. Sailing became almost a lost
art on the Chesapeake. Then, about
ten years ago. there was a sudden and
unexplained revival Today the bay is
dotted with trim, white winged craft.
But few sailors came to the Potomac in
the Washington area. There was a
prejudice that the wind was gusty and
undependable, that the river was not
wide enough for tacking, that sufficient
space for racing was to be found only
far downstream at points less accessible
than the coves of the Chesapeake.
These prejudices have been dispelled,
largely due to the success of sails in the
regatta. This year twelve classes will be
entered. And practically all these classes
are represented in the fleets of the yacht
and boat clubs of Washington.
The trend toward sailing is an encour-
aging sign. 1t indicates a greater num-

tators. As a sport, sailing is unusual. 1t

SimOn's Address.

Sir John Simon in his speech at
Lanark, Scotland, yesterday added little
to the elucidation Of Britain's foreign
policy as it was stated by Prime Minister
Chamberlain last March amid fears OF
war following the seizure Of Austria and
the beginning OF active German inter-
vention in the Czech minorities dispute.
The warning then uttered, that Great
Britain probably would be drawn into
any large-scale war on the Continent
arising out Of Central Europe, was sub
stantially reiterated by the chancellor
of the exchequer before a rally of Con-
servative party members.
The chancellor did. it is to be noted,
deliver q fervent appeal to all parties in
the Czech Sudeten controversy for CO.
operation in preserving peace. coupling it
with an added warning that this very
case Of Czechoslovakia may be 50 critical
for the future of Europe that It
would be impossible to assume a limit
to the disturbance that 4 conflict might
involve"
Simultaneously come reports of new
concessions to the Suaeten minority by
the Praha government, perhaps contain
ing some proposal for cantonization, and
Of the return to Praha of Frank T. A.
Ashton-Gwatkin. Lord Runciman's as
sistant, ostensibly with new instructions
from London as to how much further
mediation is to be carried.
Taken together with the provocative
pronunciamento from Konrad Henleins
aides releasing the Sudeten Germans
from the discipline the party had
hitherto imposed, and the demarche
made by the German government in
several European capitals, to the effect
that settlement must soon be reached
or Germany will intervene just short of
actAal attack, point to an imminent
showdown.
The groundwork appears to be laid
either for . gigantic show of force with
the million or more men now under arms
in the Reich or for \ highly pitched
propaganda campaign headed by the re-
sounding speeches which Hitler and his
aides will deliver at the Nazi party con-
gress opening at Nuremberg q week from
tomorrow.
Such a rallying of Nazi strength will
provide the ideal occasion for rousine
the German nation to the pressing need
OF reclaiming the lost brothers across the
Czech frontier. This should be a rela-
lively simple task for the masters Of
mob Psychology in the Reich. Thou
sands Of banners massive decorations
trumpets, marching men and noisy ac-
claim for Der Fuehrer which always
characterize such meetings are we'll
chosen instruments for stimulation Of
mass emotions.
The coming fortnight is truly
critical period for Europe Whatever
Hitler has up his sleeve will be sprung
while the nation Is in the grin Of .
frenzy OF patriotism and a million re-
serves, VINO have now had two weeks
active training, will be co-ordinated with
several hundred thousand regular troops
into the strongest army Europe has seen
modified in peacetime.
Even If Hitler does not take advantage
OF his coming opportunity to strike, he
will certainly have impressed Europes
statesmen with the slendeness of the
thread by which war hangs in Europe,
and how at the mercy Of one man peace
is today.
Against such backdrop of gathering
forces the speech Of Sir John Simon
appears to be little more than a breath
in a windstorm.

Travelling Along.
A little bit of sunshine,
A little bit of song
Makes this world seem brighter
AS you're travelling along;
But the sunshine gets too scorching
And you wish it wouldn't climb,
And you get right tired of listening.
To the music all the time.
A little cloudy weather
And a tear drop now and then,
They make you feel as If you were
The loneliest Of men.
But the clouds can't last forever;
The sun will shine again,
And it comes out all the brighter
When you've had little rain.
