year, he gave it a formal coming
out party and came within the

The Cubs had an idea that they
weren't getting anywhere but
not until Stan got little blooper
off the handle in about the eighth
inning did they realize they were
otherwise hitless. The final score
was Cincinnati 4. Chicago 0.

CINCINNATI. Sept. N.-Paul
Derringer, the big Kentuckian

sofa, Fla, is a living contradic-
ton of the old saw about old dogs
and new tricks.
Not that Dom Paul is an old
dog, but he's been around base
ball and the Cincinnati Reds long
enough to have a right to be a
little sot in his ways if he likes.
Paul built up his pitching rep
utation on two things, control
and a handsome assortment of
curves.
Then, after his greatest season
IS victories and seven losses, he
set about to learn the new trick
"a knuckle ball. That delivery
is hard to master. Many a sage
pitcher has refused to monkey
with it because he knew he'd
never know where it was going.

This building is typical of thou

Willkie's Business Record
Found to Be Political Asset

make a good president say II is
because he has been a successful
business man and a good execu-
tive"
In an Institute survey conducted
after the Republican convention
but before the Democratic con-
vention, Willkie ran a close race
in trial heat" against President
Roosevelt. The results, as report
ed last week, showed SO per cent
of voters polled favoring Roose-
welt, II per cent favoring Willkie.
This represented a sharp rise in
Wilkes popularity. for in an
earlier trial heat" conducted
about two weeks before the Re-
publican convention nominated
Willkie. Roosevelt polled So per
cent. Willkie only 81 per cent.
WILKES phenomenal rise In
popularity took place in the short
space of three months.
Personality Stressed
Oddly enough, the statement
made by several Democratic lead
ers the day after Willkie's NOM
nation suggesting foreign influ-
ence" in his political thinking, was
nowhere reflected in the poll.
Only a tiny fraction of one per
cent said they feared possible
Fascist leanings in the Repub-
lican candidate.
Equally interesting is the fact
that only handful of voters said
they were for Willkie because he
might be able. through his bust
ness experience. to re-srm the
country faster than the New
Dealers.
Wilkes two chief points of
popular appeal, as analysed in the
thousands of comments gathered
by the survey, are his business
ability and his personality. Among
those Democrats who think he
would make good president,
nearly two-thirds. cite his business
record, while among Republicans
about half name his business
achievement and the rest his per-
sonality or other factors.

Actively at work at present In
the United States is an evolution
in residential construction which
will have profound effect on
building methods and costs.
Present strength of this evolu-
tionary process is indicated by the
fact that around 500 different
methods for building houses mot
to mention building materials)
have been submitted to the gov
eminent for approval in the past
five years, officials state. Some
of these methods are practical;
others are not. Some are improve
ments over old methods and offer
possibilities for cost reductions.
Altogether, this constant search
for new methods and materials
will have a profound effect on
building methods and building
costs, it is said. As the new meth
DDS and materials demonstrate
their value they may be gradu-
ally absorbed into common prac-
tice, and many may ultimately re-
suit in better houses at lower
cost.
Special methods OF construction
are investigated individually after
the sponsors submit drawings, spe-
cifications, test data and other
necessary information.
First, these engineers anaiyze
the structural design and specific
use of materials from the stand
point Of strength and rigidity, the
adequacy with which expos d
