Occupancy Increasing
In Office BUILDINGS

Office building occupancy is still
increasing and the upward trend as
shown in the semi annual survey
OF the National Association of
Building Owners and Managers pre-
Sents picture of absorption OF
space better by quite a margin than
has been recorded in several years.
Between MAY ] and October the
dlfterential is 122 per cent-office
building occupancy being s514 per
cent As OF October and 1892 per
cent as of MAY OF this year. This
actually means that during the five
month period 1918 per cent of the
vacant area, or better than 1000 900
feet. has been put TO productive use
The results of this survey are re-
leased through the national office
III report by James F. Cook, jr..
OF ST. Louis. chairman of the or
ganlZationS Committee on Renting.
After seven years. during which
successive increases have carried the

All wallpaper or oilcloth on the
walls must, of course, be removed
The tile can be cut with tin ships
where there is fitting around pipes
to be done. To make a successful
job a piece Of cardboard should be
cut to the size of a tile and the
pattern cut with scissors on this
cardboard so that it will fit exactly
around the pipe BY laying this
pattern on the tile to be used, an
exact fit can be made.

can be used if desired, or one of
rubber or linoleum. When rubber

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The tiny country of Siam has
during the past week started
what seems to be a pretty good
imitation of a war all its own.
However, under the surface 1t
is not hard to see that Japan and
Germany have started it to
make trouble for England ana
the French possessions in that
area. The great Singapore naval
base is near at hand and there
is q French colonial base right
in Thaliland. Both of these, and
a couple more bases are far TOO
formidable to be attacked from
the sea because land guns size
for size can outshoot those or
ships, by reason they can be
anchored securely to Withstand
the terrific shock of recoil and
the area they command has been
surveyed and plotted so neatly
frontal attack is suicide.
By stirring up trouble the
Axis hopes to draw the British
out of their shell.
