To complete the picture some one ■ suggested the old fashioned welcome mat at the front door. E. Guy Sutton of Indianapolis, Ind., Secretary of the National Association of Sand and Gravel Producers, and Geo. J. Nattkemper of Terre Haute, Ind., have been in Washington for several days endeavoring to get the railroad administration to reduce freight rates on sand, gravel, crushed stone and slag. This action, they asi sert, will be beneficial to the building I industry throughout the country and

immediately will assist in the acceleration of building and construction activities, so much desired by the department of labor. Indiana is giving support to the S home loan banks, projected as an aid ito home building. At tho recent an- [ nual convention of the Saving and | I-oan Association League of the state! the plan was indorsed by the dele-1 gates. Indiana senators and representatives in congress will be urged to work for early legislation that will! make possible the establishment of these banks. It is pointed out that' two leading motives should stimulate construction work. First, buildings are needed, and, second, work is re-' quired for returning soldiers. According to reports received by. the United States Department of| Labor one of the cities that is to supply tho need of new school accomodations is Buffalo, N. Y., which will erect 12 buildings as part of its SB,000,000 construction program. Work will be started at the earliest possible date, so as to avoid the possibility of embarrassment from a shortage of labor lator, w-hen industrial readjustment has been accomplished. It is estimated that there is a shortage of 800,000 schoolhouses, owing to defer-I red building during the war and to ♦he natural growth of population. Cleveland is one of the cities that will be foremost in this line of construction. Captivating Mabel Normand comes to the Rex theatre tonight in her new- . est and most original Ooldwyn production, “Tho Venus Model.’’ Fitted . with a role which suits her as perfect- , ly as the dashing bathing costume she wears as “The Venus Model,” Miss Normand may be depended on j to give an excellent account of heri self as Kitty O’Brien, who bound love with a silk thread as a worker in the . factory of Braddock & Company, mak- , I ers of bathing suits so old-fashioned , ‘ that they wouldn’t sell. So Kitty ! | works out a swimming garment . which her acute sense of what wo- , men want tells her will be a great sucj cess. And it is. Tho costume is called “The Venus Model,” and Kitty herself is viewed by the buyers in the i choice costume. Business booms and 1 Kitty is promoted to the desk of chief ? designer. ; Waitresses have now been added ? to the ranks of skilled, or at least i semiskilled labor. The training ser i vice, Department of Labor, has found ; that a system of efficient training has J been developed by a large chain ol I restaurants, and the service itself is going over the data obtained frorr •; this source in order to suggest pos J ■ fribla imporements, or to adapt the Bj training system for use in other restilaurants or in hotels. The instruction ?! for waitresses is largely through lec ijtures. They are taught menu prices. I land are instructed in the privileges j of the customer with respect to full • helpings of bread, butter and the like. J A large central training establish- ■ mont is maintained by this chain cf ; restaurants, and girls after complet • ing the training course there are asII signed to establishments where va- | cancies exist. r> ’ Democrat Wants Ads Pay

We do not approve of these tactics, but as he started it, what can we do? gfi What the public, and we also, are most interested in is, how can our Spl worthy competitor ; ve you the same photo that we do, whe HE is not 3| Jfi able io make them ai any price. Now, understand this: We know that ■Sfj we can and will make better photos than he ever made; and we are willing y? to post any amount flora 5100 up, with the paper, that says so. b L .I Should our worthy competitor wish to cover it, we will pick out ten tfi Jfi subjects in Decatur and each make pictures of them, send them all to the Eastman Kodak Company to judge, and the winner further shall agree to UC donate his winnings io some local charity. ;sn) As to giving you any folder you want as our competitor states, we ffi Jjfj have never made a practice of selling folders. We give you something worth while to put in that folder. The public is more interested in a good IE picture mounted properly than they are in a poor picture, regardless of the cost of the mount. The folder on any picture is a very small item. So small in fact that any good photographer will charge you the same price Sy 31 if they are delivered to you without the mount. If it were necessary that sn we govern our price of pictures by the folders, we would quit the photoUZ graph business and start a paper store. Everything in the studio, with the Iwe exception of the camera and lenz, was bought in Decatur, so our worthy nj jcompetitor must quit referring to us as a mail order house.
