POLES

A mammoth all-colored revue headed by the internationally fam ous Five Crackerjacks, will be pre- sented at 9 o'clock, this evening on the stage of the always comfortably cool Loew Poli Theater.
 In support of this star attraction is a group of Harlem Hot Shots including singer Babe Matthews; Clarence Spark" Ellis, popular Master of Ceremonies; Ford, Mar shall and Jones, real hot dance trio; the Cole Brothers, variety bits; i; Milly and Billy, direct from the Cotton Club, and many others.
 Gus Meyers and the Loew Poli Theater orchestra will provide the musical background for this all- star revue.
 Current on the screen at Loew's Poll is Frontier Marshall, which depicts life years ago in the wicked est, widest town in that dangerous West, that of Tombstone, Arizona, where the man fastest on the draw lived the longest.
 Randolph Scott and Nancy Kelly head the great cast of the thrilling production, which also prominently features Cesar Romero, Binnie Barnes and John Carradine.
 Scott has colorful role as Wyatt Earp, the gun-fighting marshal, who brought in the law at the end of his six-gun and stayed alive because no one ever beat him to the draw. The lovely Nancy Kelly is cast as the beautiful, brave, unflinching girl who followed Doc Holiday, the man she loved, to this God -forstaken borderland town to gave him. Romero is cast as Holiday, the ele- gant gambler and deadly killer, who for reasons of his own, had dropped his useful life back East to come to Tombstone, a bitter, desperate man, waiting for death.
 Binnie Barnes is Jerry, volcanic dance hall queen, and Carradine is cast as Ben Carter, proprietor of the Palace of Pleasure, where Q shooting was always in order.
 On the same program is another big hit, Mystery of the White Room, with Bruce Cabot and Helen Mack in the leading roles.
 Watch for Mickey Rooney's newest and biggest hit, Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever" for it's coming real soon to Loew's Poli. With your whole cast of Hardy Family Fav- orites. this latest of the Hardy series, is more fun than any film ever produced.

BUILDING FIGURES

Noticeable Decline in June Contracts Over Previous
 Months Report

Total contracts awarded in the field of private enterprise in June declined 5.3 per cent below the May volume. according to the Alexander Hamilton Institute. This reduction exceeded the usual seasonal decrease which averaged 26 per cent during the last B years. Although build ing contracts in June were POP per cent larger than in the same month last year, the gain over year ago was considerably smaller than in previous months. This is shown by the fact that for the first six months, contracts exceeded last years volume by 422 per cent.
 The decline in total contracts from May to June was entirely the result of a noticeable curtailment in residential building. Residential contracts declined to the lowest vol- ume since February, and the de- crease more than offset a rise in non-residential contracts from May to June. As compared with June last year, however, residential con- tracts showed an increase of 29.3 per cent, while non-residential con- tracts showed @ gain of only 6.e per cent.
 Fundamental conditions in the building industry took an unfavrable turn in June. The rent index, on the basis of 1926 as 100. declined from 85l to 84.9, the lowest figure reached since the downward trend began in the latter part of 1897 Construction costs, on the other hand, showed firmer tendency with the index rising from 1042 in May to 104.3 in June. The unfav- able spread between costs and rents was thus increased.

 The speed of over $50 miles per hour and the cruising range of close to 400O miles which have been attained by many of our planes of today mark the result of 30 years unremitting effort on the part of the army and of the aeronautical industry, and together with large carrying capacity, make the military airplane a weapon of gret strategc value and the air force a vital part of our national defense team.
 WAR FURTHERED
 RESEARCH
 At the time of General Pershing's punitive expedition into Mexico in 19l6, our first and only aero squad- ron consisted of eight primitive and extremely low-powered planes. Their propellers warped in the Mexican sun, they could not attain sufficient altitude to fly over the mountains of Mexico, an dtheir cruising range was woefully inadequate.
 At our entrance into the World War, the airplane had not made

a place for itself as an important weapon in our army, notwith- standing the fact that Germany entered the struggle with about 1000 planes, England with 250, and France with approximately 300.
 During the war, however, we managed to inaugurate a program for the procurement of airplanes and engines which, although sloy in starting, resulted in greater air strength immediately following the World War than any perod since that time.
 After the war, we continued our experimental work and, even with the limited funds available, con- tinued to lead the way in the de- velopment of planes with high speeds. great cruising radius, and large load capacity.
 With the augmentation program recently authorized by Congress program which provides for a force of $500 planes, the greatest number ever possessed by the army we may be assured of an air force sufficiently strong and properly equipped to care for the army's needs in the defense Of the nation.
 Development of the air arm as
