and, of course, very crude. Just out
side the little workshop of Alden
grew the native New England oak,
pine, cherry and maple. Stools of
the four-legged spoke-shave type,
high-back settles, or settees, and
long trestle tables with plank tops
were among the furnishings and
necessities provided. One Of these
long trestle tables is now in the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art.
AS the settlers progressed and in
creased, more furniture was brought
from England and with it, naturally,
came cabinetmakers and joiners. SO
that by the year 1700 the Eliza

in popularity to the william and

making began to take a true native
thought, based on this English de-
sign. Queen Anne designs, greatly
simplified, followed. They were
made of native maple, cherry and
some walnut. The New England
spoon-foot was the early interpre-

Spurred by Defense,
industrial buiIdinq
Equals '29 Pace
Totol Gain Expected
To Be 30 Per Cent
Above Lost Yeur

Industrial building, spurred by
national defense demands, now
equals the booming 1929 pace with
indications that the total gain this
year will be at least 80 per cent
above last year, the Architectural
Forum magazine declares today In
its special Building for Defense"
issue.
The magazine also predicts that
q similar increase probably will
occur in industrial Building next
year when this type Of construction
is expected to total about $3.50 ,000,.
000-a figure slightly higher than
the average annual volume Of the
1926-ls29 days.
IAN upturn in factory construc-
ton normally follows close on the
heels Of improved consumers goods
business" the Architectural Forum
explains. Last year, the consumers
goods business peaked and topped
before industrial construction had
time to get started, and expendi-
lures for new factories added up to
an unimpressive 5000, ,000, 900.
This year, national defense has
turned the tables. Private industrial
building has responded more quickly
than usual to the acceleration Of
consumers goods business, has in
recent months equaled the booming
1929 pace.
Further Expansion Planned.
Even without additional Federal
appropriations for defense United
States industry and industrial con-
struction will hum for many months.
With higher prices-and they have
already started up-and with
more appropriations, manufacturers
either willingly or by force will con-
tinue to expand their production
facilities.
However, remembering we'll the
disastrous overexpansion of in
dustrial production facilities which
the World War provoked, the United
States is proceeding more eau
tiously today" the Architectural
Forum points out. Plants which
have long been idle with depression
