HOPEFUL estimates are that 1899 will bring the

families. Last year the total was between $780,
900 and 100000. The half-million figure would
still fall slightly short of the 1929 actual total.

now around $4,000, 100000, this would bring
the Indebtedness of the United States to

Americas entire wealth, as we are rated as being

In other words, unless we can promptly and

will be running up a far higher debt than by

is to fence off and assign a certain part Of

A THOUGH, in the aggregate, building is one
of the most important of all industries. it
cannot be said that its leaders have proved con-
spicuously successful merchandisers You and
are constantly made conscious, by motor manu-
facturers, of the desirability Of buying the very
latest models.
But rarely do you or I have brought under our
nose, under our eyes, advertisements calculated
to inspire us to acquire modernized homes not
withstanding that the new home of today even
of modest price, embodies conveniences, appli-
anceS, attractions not built into homes decade
or more ago.
President Lewis H. Brown, of Johns-Manvile,
yesterday declared: "The home of today is
streamlined the financing is streamlined. ard
the merchandising must follow the trend of the
times To put this industry on a real merchan-
dising basis should be the goal of every building
firm. A determined effort should be made by
every one Of us to mobilize to merchandise"

Treasury Rules Reich
Isn't Dumping Wood Pulp
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury ruled yesterday that
Germany had not been dumping"
wood pulp in the United States and
refused to apply penalties to future
shipments. if any
Several months ago, before the
war virtually blocked such ship
ments from Germany, American pro-
ducers of wood pulp told the Treas
ury they had reason to believe Ger
many was selling wood pulp here at
less than what the same material
would cost in Germany. The pro-
ducers asked imposition of penalties
to prevent Germany from under
selling them by allegedly unfair
methods.
Wood pulp was not affected by
the Treasury order last spring i'm
posing a 25 per cent penalty on
shipments from Germany, because
that order applied only to items on
which there is a tariff.
The Treasury's decision was made
after investigation both in Europe
and in this hemisphere.
