GOOD BUILDING YEAR. VIEW OF , LIMESTONE CO. Summer Work Under Way —Gain Over Last Year Shown. Bu Times Special CHICAGO, June 6. Summer building is swinging under way in good volume, with promise of continued high activity the rest of the year, according to a nation-wide survey today by the Indiana Limestone Company. For the first five months the approximate building total is $2,871,000,000, it is said. This compared with $2,881,500,000 for the same period last year. . Over Last May “Based on preliminary reports from several hundred cities and towns,” says the survey by Thomas J. Vernia, vice-president, “figures for May reached the total of $645,000,000. This is an increase over May of last year. “There are many reasons for anticipating continued activity. Public work has taken on larger proportions. A number of large theater projects is contemplated. Moreover, the spreading westward of vast manufacturing centers promises to keep industrial construction active for some time to come. The middle west has 29.5 per cent of the country’s industrial output. This is the largest industrial development since ™ 900. The next largest gain is on the Pacific coast. No Longer Prevail “Some authorities feel that a ‘normal level’ has been atttained by the building industry, and that with the vast natural expansion of the country there is little likelihood of ever returning to the building totals of a decade ago. Pre-war standards of homes, office and public buildings, theaters, schools and churches no longer prevail. Generally the outlook is quite favorable.” OUTCRY AGAINST ‘DRY'JETHOfIS But Colonel’s Maryland Record Is Good in Figures. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, June 6.—Turned loose to dry up Maryland, Col. J. F. J. Herbert, former army officer, is making an impressive record as to figures. But ihe hard-boiled methods charged against some of his agents have caused an outcry in Baltimore and Congressman Palmisano has demanded an investigation by General ■Andrews. Andrews said today the investigation was nearly complete, and intimated he had found nothing calling for serious censure. Baltimoreans say that two persons who resisted search of their premises were “black-jacked” by Herbert’s agents, one of them hence spending ten days in a hospital. Both were discharged for lack of evidence. The wife of one of them charged that the agents had insulted her. ‘SWAP’ MEET POPULAR Real Estate Men to Hold Another Trade Session. Announcement has been made by Joseph J. Argus that a second traders’ luncheon will be held at the Columbia Club Friday, June 10. Argus stated that these luncheons will likely be held each two weeks since the first one, held May 27, at which fifty-two members of the Real Estate Board were present, proved very successful. The luncheon idea is unique in that each board member comes prepared to accept trades and the facts concerning the property are listed on a blackboard.

CANADA FLANS GREATJBILEE Diamond Anniversary of Dominion This Year. Bu Times Special -OTTAWA, Can., June 6.—The diamond jubilee of the Confedertion of Canada is to be appropriately celebrated throughout the Dominion from July 1 to 3 this year. It is sixty years since Canada became a united self-governing country. Prior to'July 1, 1867, Canada was a number of sparsely settled provinces with scarcely any knowledge of or communication with one another. Now the Dominion from sea to sea, from the International bounddary in the south to its northermost iimits, is one vast community, united by a common purpose. Diamond jubilee celebrations will be held in every city, town hamlet and village. Sixty years ago the foreign trade of Canada was less than $120,000,000. For the fiscal year ended March 31. 1927, it was $2,298,000,000. an increase of 1815 per cent. With a population of less than ten million the Dominion now has a greater volume of foreign trade than the United States had when its population was 75,000,000.

Fishing The Air Bt LEONARD E. PEARSON

“We are signing off because of an s. o. s.“ Perhaps the most of us who live this far from the ocean have not had the experience—or thrill —of hearing a coastal station making this announcement .unless we happen to be an enthusiast for stations on the seaboard. But that is what the stations do the* instant an S. O. S. signal is reported. Nearly all station near the sea maintain a “600-meter watch,” al-

A BIG Appetite! Hearty eaters whcm you see all around you know how to guard their health, yet eat their fill of the choice foods that appeal to them. They know the dangers of indigestion, stomach gases, sour stomach, fetid breath, and other such annoying ailments. That’s why they always carry Eatonic tablets with them —and munch one or two after every meal. These little, harmless, highly beneficial tablets should always be close at hand. They bring such comfort after eating. Try them for a few days—you’ll never be without them after. All druggists.

ways on the lookout for the distress signal. This is maintained during the period of broadcast, starting thirty minutes previous to the station’s going on the air, to be certain the air Is clear of such calls. The Navy Department cooperates with the broadcasters, keeping them informed of signals and notifying them when broadcasting may be resumed after the necessary communications to provide for resistance of the ship have been completed. In the case of key stations for networks the programs in the studios go ahead without interruption, the artists usually not even knowing that the local transmitter is off the air. This is done so that the feature may be sent to the other stations inland which are connected with the hook-up. If a reasonable distance from the water their transmission does not interfere with the land-to-vessel communication, so they do not have to shut down. Mrs. John R.

Don’t be a Victim of “Spring Fever”

You Can Easily Avoid the Depressing Effects ofi the Changing Season. Ip the Spring, many people find themselves losing appetite, are overcome by a lack of energy, and a rundown feeling takes possession of their whole body. Spring is a great renovating season, when Nature throws off the accumulated impurities and prepares the system for the change it must undergo before merging into the coming Summer. f At this time, the energies relax, and an unspeakable languor pervades the entire system, giving that worn-out, sood-for-notliing feeling, so commonly called "spring fever.” The important thing, therefore, is
