The Building Industry
Conditions have been so bad
in the railroad business in past
years that the interstate com-
merce commission and ‘he rail-
road labor board (Vere constituted
to investigate and regulate this
industry. Both these bodies have
been subjected to much criticiun,
yet few people would advocate
today that this great industry
should be relieved from govern-
ment supervision, nd permitted
to go its own wa, uncontrolled.
Much the same thing seems
likely to happen in the coal min-
ing industry. Conditions have
become so unsatisfactory that the
government has at last appointed
an investigating commission
which is making a very thorough
inquiry into mining conditions, a
step that ought to have been tak-
en years ago.
It would seem also as if condi-
tions in the building industry
had reached such an unsatisfac-
tory state that the government
would almost be forced to inquire
into these relations and try to
shape some new line of policy.
The people complain bitterly of
high rents, principally caused by
the great expense of putting up
new buildings and repairing old
ones. The wages paid building la-
bor seem unreasonably high to
many people, but the workers
claim they have to be high on ac-
count of irrgularity of their cm-
plt)_\'llll‘lll. Some plan is needed
to encourage such activity in off
seasons, so that the workmen
_ could have more regular employ-
ment, and not have to be paid for
lying idle a good part of the
year. Also there is much com-
plaint of unreasonably high prices ‘
for building materials.
It would seem as if the time had
come for the government to make
about the same kind of investiga-
tion of the building trades that is
being made of the coal industry,
in the hope that means can be
found to reduce cost of produc-
tion and encourage building and
repairing of dwellings and busi-
ness structures.

Park Projects
Most cities and towns heartily
desire to set nick appropriate
tracts of land and beauty spots
as public parks, but frequently
the cost of the same is considered
prohibitive.
Jackson, Tennessee, a city of
some 20,000 people, has outlined a
plan for such a development that
would seem practical for “any
community. The city has set
aside a five acre wooded tract as
a combined park, children’s play-
ground and tourist camp, and
will do grading. nodding and
roadmaking. The Association of
Commerce is fostering a move-
ment by which the various civic,
fraternal and labor organiza-
tions will provide the equipment
and facilities.
Very few cities and towns have
set apart all the park and play-
ground land they ought to have
for recreation needs of their
city. By such a plan as the
above many obstacles in the way
of such a project could be remov-
ed or minimized,
O C
City Tennis Court
In many cities the playing of
lawn tennis is being made' easy
for people who have no chance to
develop courts of their own,
through public coufis located in
parks and playgrounds. Some 75
cities report that they now main-
tain something over 2,000 tennis
courts. Thirty-six of them held
last summer form a park cham-
pionship in this game, in which
{2,900 players competed. In 42
cities where records were kept 1,-
79ili711 phl’ers used the courts
summer.
The above represents one of
the finest enterprises in play-
ground work. A great deal has
been done for the health

IS THAT SO?
(Literary Digest)
The term "can not" is sometimes
found written as one word. sometimes
as two words. The one-word form is
incorrect. for “can" is a verb posi-
ttive. Try to lnfiect the solid-word
form. writing lt—I cannot. and you
can not go far without being struck
by the absurdity of the result. For
example. “I cannot." "Thou cannot-
est." "He cannots." Always write it
to tell the
can “0‘.

CALLING.
(American Legion “'eekly)
Suppose you went to work as one
of one hundred new employee in a
certain vocation. And suppose the
proprietor said to you: “.“Elght of you
will be killed outright each year so
long as you work for me. In addi-
tion. two of you will be maimed or
your health shattered eac ear. I
retire all my employes on he com-
pletlon of 30 years’ service on three-
quarters pay."
You would find that by the time
you were eligible for retirement you
would have been killed 2.4 times and
maimed .8 times. Yet such is the
future that the United States Army
Air Service offers its fiyers.
THE AUTO PARKING HOG.
(From The Hartford Courant)
W’e presume that the person so
inelegantly but ace-“ratify designated
as the seat hog still detracts from
the pleasure of ridingdn the old-fash-
loned open trolley cars. But som of
them. apparently. no longer are found :
there l ccause they own and drive an-
tomobiles and find an even more ev-
ssperating way to display the char-
acteristics that were formerly evi-
denced by their grim determination
to make every other person who shar-
ed their sest climb over them when
getting aboard.
The parking of automobiles in a
city the size of Hartford has grown
to be one of the problemr. that make
people think and frequently swear.
The automobile parking hog adds his
big hit to the other difficulties of the
situation. One of his mOst unpleas-
ant habits. and a habit that can bring
him little personal advantage or fit-
lsfsctlon. to to take about 00 per cent.
more room than is necessary when he
parks his car. He will drive in, en-
peclally on such streets as Jewell.
where cars are supposed to be parked
head-on to the sidewalk. and leave
space between his car and that next
to him. Just a few inches less than
would be needed for another car to
park there. In this fashion the park-
ing areas. altogother too few to meet
the ever growing demand. are con-
siderably lessened with no advantlxe
to anyone. It. is as easy for an experi-
enced Wad there should be no
others on the crowded streets of our
city—to park within a few inches of
another parked car as to leave~ two or
three feet.
