CONTRACTORS TO STOP BIDDING FOR SUPPLYf LABOR Hope to Encourage Schools to Teach Building Trades •to Youths, Members of the Associated Building Contractors of Indiana have agreed to stop competitive bidding for skilled labor and to encourage schools to teach building trades In order that the labor supply may be increased. It has been the practice among some contractors, according to J. H. Owens, a field representative of the association, to bid above the union scale in order to obtain workmen employed by other contractors. He said the building boom has resulted in a serious shortage of labor. The agreement to pay not more than the union scale was reached at a meeting of the contractors at the Peoples Bank Building Wednesday afternoon. “In many cases the owners are to blame," Owens continued. “They demand that contractors have buildings completed within a specified time, and this makes it necessary for contractors to obtain labor by any means at their command. If owners would not be so insistent about rushing jobs the labor shortage would be relieved and costs would come down. At the same time mechanics would have steady work.” Schools are not encouraging young men to go Into the trades, Owens said. He said the contractors have been considering for some time co-operation with schools for the training of apprentices. CAR HITS AUTO: ONE HURT Ohio Salesman Struck by Interurban ' Near Mooresville.

A Puzzle a Day

s*• * s •E* E * •*R * • •U* U * M*• • M The letters shown above form a “criss-cross,” in which the word “serum” may be read from the upper left comer to the lower right, and from the upper right to the lower left The puzzle is to fill in the stars with other letters, so that each line, from left to right, will form a word. A great many answers are possible. Can you discover five words that are suitable? Yesterday’s Answer: The man had 1,024 wooden blocks. He formed half the blocks (which were cubical in shape) into the large cube, which measured eight on a side (Bxßx8 —512). He then formed the remaining half of the blocks (512) into a square around’ the cube. As the bottom layer of the cube contained 64 blocks, he thus formed a square of 576 blocks (512 phis 64). 576 is a square number, being the product of 24x24. The puzzle may be solved with other numbers, but the above is a satisfactory answer.

MISSING WOODEN LEGS STIR COURT AS CRIPPLE WAITS Police Scour City Before Artificial Limbs Are Found for Boy, It took almost all the policemen and policewomen attached to juvenile court to locate the legs belonging to Edward Halas, 14, of 1012 W. Morris St. They were found in a shop at 17Va W. Ohio St. Ed’s wooden legs cost him $250. They were wanted for his trip Friday to the Father Gibault home at Terre Haute, where he will learn to use them and will get an education. Policeman John Shine, after questioning Ed’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Halas, subpoenaed them to juvenile court to tell where the missing legs were. In the meantime Ed played ball and ran up and down stairs at- the Detention home. He doesri’-t need the legs a bit, he explained, as in the seven years since he fell beneath a coal car, he has learned to get around on his hands as fast as any boy. School authorities had Mr. and Mrs. Halas taken to court last week on a charge of allowing their son to beg on the Circle. He was missing school.
