If you have handsome wooden
floors In your house or apartment
you probably hold your breath every
time your friends bring their active
little children over to call. Little
children's feet seem to be shod in
hob-nailed boots on those occasions,
and they nearly always manage to
cart some small cast iron toy along
which they delight in towing back
and forth over your floors shiny
surfaces. Needless to say we aren't
against children and cast iron toys,
but 1t does seem too bad your floors
have to take such a beating
Nor is their beating all. Every
householder has shuddered to think
of the havoc wrought by spilled al
coholic drinks, not to mention boiling
water and the powerful soaps that
some house cleaners prefer. In all
fairness to yourself and your floors
it would seem good idea to protect
those highly decorative areas If you
can.
There is a remarkable new floor
coating available now which will put
up the stiffest sort of defense. It
is colorless and when it is spread on
like an ordinary varnish seals the
pores of the wood and provides a
smooth but non-skid surface. This
complete closing of the pores pre-
vents dirt and other destructive ele-
ments from being rubbed in.

made more and more convenient to
operate, simpler to install and GER

somewhat adverse to the idea OF
putting up Venetian blinds around
your home because you thought they
were impractical, be sure to have {

100000. Commanding the spotlight
percentage-Wise, industrial building
will jump 81 per cent from 5000, ,00O,-
900 to 1854 4,000,000. Expenditures for
other private non-residential con-
struction, however, will increase only
about per cent.
"Also included in the private con-
struction total are farm building,
which will rise 9 per cent to $780,
900 900, and public utility construc-
ton which will total $638, 900 900, q
Is per cent advance over the 1899
figure
THE dollar volume of residential
and commercial remodeling, ex-
cluded from these new construction
figures, will expand 9 per cent
Factors for Advance.
Basing its 1899 construction fig
ures on estimates of actual expendi-
lures for materials and labor in the
entire country as prepared by Econ
omist Lowell J. Chawner of the De-
partment of Commerce, which are
exclusive of expenditures for main
tenance and work relief, the Archi-
tectural Forum points out that the
factors indicating a general ad-
vance include:
/. The business improvement,
which became markedly apparent
prior to the declaration of war.
2. The added impetus given in
dustrial production and employ
ment by current and prospective war
orders.
3. Prospects for increased eco
nomic expansion and consumer in
come
4. Retrenchment by Government
from business batting and deficit
spending.
"On the other hand" the Archi-
tectural Forum states, there are
some threatening clouds on the
horizon which may throw cold water
on the 1910 out look: Cd The fact
that 1910 is an election year may
cause some general hesitancy pend
ing an exact definition of future
governmental policies, CD the pos
sibility of an abrupt peace in Eu-
rope, CD the more remote posi-
bility of United States participation
in the war and a. the threat OF
rising construction and financing
costs.
Rents at High Levels.
while changes in these factors
will affect the general construction
trend, the various classifications OF
construction will react more violent
ly to their own particular stimul
and therefore merit individual
analysis:
while building material costs
logged upward after the declaration
of war, November say leveling o1
the trend at ( per cent above the
August level-a hopeful sign for po.
tential home builders. Other gooc
signs: Rents are at the highest
levels in l8 months, the residential
foreclosure rate continues down
ward, the supply of building capita
is large and available at attractive
rates, and vacancies are at rock
bottom levels.
Less vulnerable to the trends Of
construction costs and rents, com.
mercial building activity depends
largely upon supply and demand
and general business conditions
Right now Office building occupancy
is better than at any time since
1880 but still averages only about
81 per cent. Until this figure goes
above 80 per cent there is little
justification for expecting any ap.
preciable Office building activity.
Contrary to general belief, the
current upsurge in industrial pro.
duction is rot war born. The Fed
eral Reserve Board index in JUNE
began moving up from "a (per cent
of 1923-1925 average), reached IL;

Hitler ei al, Not Sufh Geniuses As
 Stuff Really Old
Continued from Page One) AND THAT'S NOT ALL

But wait. Go back more than 200 years, to 1870, and hear what Father Francesca Lana had to say about an airplane which M invented, but which, because of poverty, he could not build:
 Tt may be thought that God will never suffer this invention to take effect because of the many consequences which may disturb the civil governments of men. For who secs not that no city can DC secure against attack, since our ship may at any time be placed directly over it and descending down, may discharge soldiers. The same would happen to private houses or ships at sea. And this they may do not only to ships but to great buildings, castles, cities, with such security that they which cast these things down from great height out of gunshot can- not on the other side be offended by those below"
 And that's not all: ITO years before that, old Leonardo da Vinci drew marvellous plans for a sub marine, and in his notes set forth this reason for not making his in- vention public;
 How by an appliance many arc able to remain for some time under water; how and why I dc not describe my method of re- maining under water for as long time as I can remain without food and this I do not publish or divulge on account of the evil nature of men who would prac- tice assassination at the bottom oi the seas, by breaking the ships in their lowest parts and sinking them together with the crews who are in them"
 So you see if there's anything new under Mars, Hitler ct al didn't think of it first.
