URGES A LONGER
BUILDING SEASON
FOR THIS NATION
Secretary of Commerce Herbert H.
I
Hocer Would Have Activity
Include Winter Also.
Washington. July 21,
ing the building season
ed States to include
Lengthen
in the I nit
the winter
mo nt hs, was advocated today by Sec
retary of Commerce Herbert Hoover,
as a means of mitigating seasonal
ups end downs in the construction
industry, of stabilizing employment
in the building trades and lowering
costs of production and building.
Secretary Hoover s statement, bas
ed on. and supplemental to the re
port and recommendations of the
Committee on Seasonal Operation in
the Const tuition Industries, appoint
ed by him as an outgrowth of the
president's conference of unemploy
ment, called in 1921. urges elimina
tion ot wastes caused by seasonable
idleness through development of in
formation as to probable future de
mands for labor and materials and
the development of the habit of
scheduling construction and repair j
work with reference to that demand.
He reiterates the committee's find
ing that custom rather than bad
weather is responsible for building
trades workers in most American
cities working less than three-quarters
of the year.
Calling construction the balance
wheel of American industry and
placing the value of yearly con
struction in the United States at
mote that: five billion dollars and
the number of work- rs engaged in
construction and manufacturing in
dustries allied to building as mouut
Ing Into the millions. Secretary
Hoover declares activity in construc
tion bears a close relation to general
industrial conditions and that ir
regularity in the ebb and flow in de
mand for construction seasonally to
a large degree affects economic sta
bility.
In his foreword to the report. Sec
retary Hoover said :
"Tin need to eliminate the wastes
of seasonable idleness has been brot
forcibly to the attention of the con
struction industry and the public by
reason of high labor costs and the
failure of the building trades to at
tracl young men to their ranks."
Pre;-' ribing a remedy, he declares,
"Lengthening the building season
will mean greater production from
the men now engaged in the build
iusr trades and will also go far to
aatract capable apprentices."
Secretary Hoover outlined the dt I
ger of seasonable instability n
building, stating that: "If building
falls off. there is bound to be a
Slackening in many other lines of in
dustry, resulting in unemployment,
decreased purchasing power of em
ployees, and further depression."
He cited the need of organized
community effort by representatives
of the construction industries, the
professions concerned and the public
to find the facts as to local handi
caps, peaks and depressions of em
ployment and kinds of construction
needed for elimination of wasteful
customs. He urged public works as
especially well adapted for schedul
ing with reference to seasonal as
well as cyclical conditions, contend
ing that efforts to encourage long
range planning of public works, de
Breve support of the public, legis
lators and public officials.
Explaining that remedy does not
lie in any form of government regu
lation, the functions of the Commit
tee are defined as having been to de
termine facts and "to point a rem
edy that is consonant with our na
tional conceptions of Individual and
community initiative."
' The service rendered to our whole
economic life by the elimination of
these gipantic wastes and the con
scious planning to overcome these
irregularities, the improved condi
tions of labor, which is possible not
only in actual construction but in
the material manufacturing indus
tries, the lowered costs of produc
tion and of building which could re
sult therefrom, are great warranty
for such co-operation,'" Secretary
Hoover concluded.
John M. Gries, Chief of the divis
ion of Building and Housing of the
Department of Commerce, and his
assistant. James S. Taylor, conducted
the national investigation for the
committee, headed by tamest T. Trigg
and his colleagues who were: John
W. Blodgett. president National Man
ufacturers association: H. R. Daniel,
assistant to the president; S. W.
Straus & Co : John Dunlin, president
building trades department, Ameri
can Federation of Labor; L. F. Ep
pich. president Kationla Association
of Real Estate Boards; A. P. Greens
felder, Fruin-Colnon Contracting Co.;
John M. Gries; J. A. House, presi
dent The Guardian Savings & Trust
Co.; Otto T. Ilallery; Rudolph P.
Miller, consulting engineer: James
P. Noonan. president International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers;
William Stanley Parker, vice presi
dent of the American Institute of
Architects, and Edward Eyre Hunt,
secretary. Information was furnish
ed by government bureaus and trade
associations while the Carneeie Cor
poration, American Federation of
Labor, trade associations and others
furnished limited appropriations to
the committtee.
The report sets forth that many
seasonable ups and downs are pre
ventable, that the past winter show
ed greater activity than ever before
in what had been normally a dull
season and this winter activity ex
erted a stimulating effoct on building-material
producers and transpor
tation companies and their employes.
The report related that construction
companies are awake to possibilities
of winter activity and deserve the
support and co-operation of the
building public. It is explained the
ups and downs place the heaviest
on the employees and the
public.
Bad weather effects on building
have been greatly reduced, according
to the report, which further holds
that "with due precautions and prop
er equipment nearly all construction
work can be carried on in winter
and at no great difference in cost."
"As the methods of handling win
ter work develop, and as manutac-
turers. supply dealers and labor take
more interest in encouraging winter
work, the cost can be appreciably re
duced," the committee found.
The report explains that bankers
may aid in cutting down the waste
'in construction costs by applying a
wid r knowledge, now available, of
data regarding characteristic trends
in the construction industries.
Forethought in planning ahead
and use of information as to the
seasonal trends will reduce interest
on investments and will release in
vestment funds for other productive
uses." it is explained in this relation.
"Trustees and others charged with
large financial responsibilities have
opportunity and a responsibility
for cutting down the present hiph
wastes."
Regarding public utilities, it is ad
vised that the single leasing date be
attacked as a demoralizing influence
on seasonal currents of construction.
"Evidence is lacking," according
to the report that "public utilities in
general authorize the erection of
buildings at other times than the
usual building season.'' and "they
might well set up 'expansion re
serves' as a practical and profitable
means tor constructing additions
during low seasonal and cyclical
periods."
The committee in its report states
that out of 200 engineers in all parts
of the country who replied to the
committee's question "Are public im
provements rushed right along in the
P'-aks of the annual building sea
son?" one hundred ninety-two an
swered in the affirmative and the
comment was frankly added that
public works are undertaken with
out regard to private needs.
The comminee is of the opinion
that the need for public works is
easily foreseen and that public offi
cials responsible be given every aid
so that they can let public works
contracts when the work can be per
formed economically and with least
interference with private construc
tion. DID NOT HAVE THE GOODS
Bible School Lesson For
Sundav. July 27.
( P.Y M. S. BRIGGS)
Golden Text: "In that He Himself
suffered being tempted. He is able
to succor those that are tempted."
Commercialism has grown ram
pant; to sell the article whatever it
is. seems to be the great scheme
whether it has any real value or not.
There are salesmen and salesmen,
some alike some different.
It is a real fact that you must
know your line or you are at loss
what to do when it comes to selling,
for the average man nowadays does
not care to "Buy a pig in a poke."
Many salesmen are God given free
men and straight and honest in all
their dealings; they are the kind of
real men who are making commer
cialism reliable and that guarantees
the purchaser what he is to get. The
whole country are educated to look
out for themselves in a deal and not
let the other man pull the trade over
on them.
Then there are other salesmen,
whose only object is to make the sale
and get the profit whether It is
worthwhile to the purchaser or not.
There are stock salesmen. bond
salesmen and all kinds of wild cat
schemes; better look out for them
for their intention is to fleeee you.
The devil was a sharper and was a
ready word painter who cared not
for the other fellow; he has always
been that way and will always re
main so. In his word painting he is
always drawing a fanciful picture of
what he is going to give and most
of the time the goods which he prom
ises he will never deliver. He come
to the Master with a wonderful tale
of what he would give the Master:
he was trying to sell the Master of
Life with some flimsy promises.
When Jesus was an hungered after
a fast of forty days, he suggested
that the stones be turned into bread,
only to get the Master to pervert the
laws of Nature and Nature's God.
Then he takes Him up into a high
mountain and there paints a picture
of grandeur and glory of the world
and says that if Jesus will but fall
down and worship him he would give
Him tbe whole world, when he knew
the Master was the Lord of All; not
alone the world, but other worlds.
Then he asked that the Master throw
himself down from the pinnacle of
the temple as the Father would send
Angels to catch him for they would
bear Him upon their wings lest He
dash His foot against a stone. The
Master said. Get thee hence, Satan,
you shall not make trial of God. So
you know that the "Devil can quote
scripture to a purpose." When any
one would entice you. rememDer tnat
you are responsible for what you be
lieve as well as for what you would
make others believe. Remember al
so that when anyone would entice
you consent thou not. Also that
you may always have succor from
the Master, for He has been tempted
as you and knows just the situation
in which you are placed.

WAITING TO HAN
DLE THIS YEAR'S
CROP OF GRAIN
Eailroads Prepared to Move It Speed
ily to Market Will be No
Shortage of Cars.
That the railroads of the west are
better prepared than ever to handle
the crops of this year was the sub
stance of the reports made to the re
gional board which met last Satur
day at Salt Lake City. It was at
tended by H. G. Taylor, state railway
commissioner, as one of the mem
bers from this section.
The only menacing feature of the
situation is that very few persons
have stored their winter supply of
coal yet, and this may put upon the
railroads a peak movement of fuel
in September and October, when
there will also be a heavy move
ment of crops.
A feature of the situation was the
wide diversity of the crop reports.
Those from Nebraska were good,
while Colorado reported the best in
her history, including fruits and veg
etables. Lack of water has brought
about a serious situation in Idaho.
In many parts water was shut off
the first of May and hundreds of
farmers have had the unpleasant ex
perience cf sititng by while their
crops dry up. The fruits, especially
the prunes which form a big crop us
ually, are all gone. The same is true
of vegetables. The potato crop will
be normal.
L'tah is in the same unhappy con
dition, due to the same cause, lack of
water. The city of Salt Lake, where
ordinarily water runs in the gutters
most of the time, is now on water
rations.
Wyoming reports were that the
general crop situation i3 fair, that
the cattle business is poor, while the
sheep men are again making a lot
of money.
The railroads reported that their
equipment is in excellent shape, and
that there is a surplus now available.
Refrigerator cars, which usually
form a shortage, are now ample in
number and scattered all the way to
Ogden.
The board adopted a resolution
asking coal customers to begin stor
age at once, and thus aid in avert
ing a possible shortage of cars later.
TO KEEP WATGH
FOR WORLD FLIERS
Navy Department Begins Task
Rendering Assistance On This
Side of the Atlantic.
of
Newport. R. L, July 21. The
navy today began its task of keeping
watch below while the world fliers
soar over the Atlantic on the home
ward leg of their journey. The crui
ser Richmond, flagship of Rear Ad
miral Thomas P. Magruder. com
manding the litrht cruiser squadron,
slipped out of this port today, the ad
vance guard of about a dozen navai
vessels which will be stated along
the route of the aviators from Eng
land to Scotland and thence by way
of the Orkney islands. Iceland and
Greenland to the North American
continent on the bleak coast of La
brador and onward to New Found
land and Nova Scotia to Boston. The
destroyer flotilla here will depart
this week to assist in the work.
The Richmond wil be joined in
British waters by the cruiser Raleigh
and two destroyers from the Euro
pean squadron and the four warships
will guide the flight from England
to the Orkneys and thence to Ice
land. The cruiser Milwaukee, now I
at Halifax, will distribute supplies to
the various points where the
fliers
are scheduled to stop. The destroy
ers wil be strung out along the leg
from Greenland to Labrador.
By this method, the navv depart
ment hopes to be in continuous touch
by radio with the men who are mak
ing history in the air. The installa
tion in England of sending and re
ceiving apparatus on the flag plane,
will enable Lieut. Loweil H. Smith,
the flight commander, to communi
cate at all times with Admiral Ma
gruder on the Richmond or with oth
ers of the warcraft along the line.

OIL DEALERS RE
FUSE TO ADOPT
THE BRYAN PLAN
Say
4-Cent
Will
Margin is Not Enough
Stick to the Present
Schedule.
Lincoln. July 21. Independent oil
dealers of Lincoln speaking through
their spokesman. M. B. Atkins, said
today they will not follow the sug
gestion of Governor Bryan, that they
adopt a four-cent margin between
buying and selling prices of gaso
line. The four-cent margin is not
near-
ly enough." said Mr. Atkins,
the independents will disregard
"and
it en-
tirelv. and will not vary an inch
from
th ir present schedule."
The independent companies of
Lincoln, with few exceptions, are
selling at 17 cents a gallon. The
state-controlled station charges 15
cents.
Mr. Atkins, commenting further
on the subject, said the refinery
price of the- present stock of straight
run gasoline was 10 cents a gallon,
the freight charge to Lincoln 2.4 1
c v.ts. and the overhead expense in
hauling and handling added four
cents more to the total, bringing it
to 1G.41 cents. The profit to retail
dealers, consequently. Mr. Atkins de
clared, was only a little over a half
cent a gallon.
NEW SLIDING BOARD
Prom Tuesday's Dally
A new two-way sliding board of
latest design has been placed in Gar
field park for the amusement of the
children of the city. The apparatus
is the most approved of its kind, be
ing as nearly accident proof as any
made and having the patented fea
ture of guard railings under which
the sliders must swing to get into
the slidewaya, thus preventing the
possibility of someone being pushed
off the platform by the crowding
sliders coming up the steps from be
hind. The park board hi.s purc has
ed this equipment as an expe riment,
believing the children of Pla i ismouth
are as much entitled to playground
equipment as those of other towns of
this size and that with the co-operation
of parents the necessity of hav
ing a paid supervisor can be elim
inated. The slide has been placed
opposite the R. B. Hayes home, and
Mrs. Hayes given supervision of the
play there, pending other arrange
ments. If the children conduct them
selves as well behaved children
should, it will be left there perma
nently. If not, it will be removed to
the school grounds and made avail
able for sliding only during recess
and noon periods of the school year,
when actual supervision among the
teaching corps of the school can be
had.
Parents of children going to Gar
field park to slide are earnest re
quested by the park board to co
operate in seeing that the rules are
observed and only the right sort of
conduct is had there, for only
in so doing, will it ever be possible
to secure additional playground para
phernalia for Plattsmouth parks.
