AIRPORT WORK TO RE RESUMED, CITY ASSURED Edict Fired at Contractor, Ordering Him to Act Immediately. Determined to insure completion of the municipal airport administratino building within two weeks, the works beard today gave Charles T Caldwell, contractor on the project until Friday morning to make necessary financial arrangements. Work came to a stop at the port Wednesday afternoon when plasterers walked out because they had not been paid wages. E. Kirk McKinney, board of works president, following a conference with Edward H. Knight, corporation counsel, declared if the arrangement for the work is not completed Friday, the board would direct it finished under its control and sue Caldwell and H. H. Woodsmall, who carries Caldwell’s $113,000 bond on the job. Caldwell said today "everything will be all right,’’ and that he would raise funds for the work. Woodsmall stated he was ready to cooperate with the city in getting the work completed, McKinney said. Estimates Boosted Caldwell admitted at the board session Wednesday that he had been sending boosted estimates to the board so he could have enough money on which to operate. He said he was forced to pay wages of men employed by subcontractors to whom he had given various phases of the work. Paul H. Moore, airport superintendent, estimated that more than seventy-five men have been affected by the situation, although only a score, walked away from the work late Wednesday. Although the board still owes Caldwell $37,000 this will not be paid until the job is finished. Os this amount, subcontractors and material supply agents have filed liens against. Caldwell for about $12,000. Without an advance either by the city or the bonding company, Caldwell told the board he would be unable to continue. July 15 Original Date The building w'as to have been finished July 15 under the original contract, but the time w T as extended to Oct. 1 by the board in the belief that another two months would guarantee completion. However, labor and financial entanglements, Caldwell told the board, has slowed the completion to a great extent. In a story written by H. Gene Haynes, airport publicity director, today, it is stated that the “contractor's slowness in completing the administration building will slow up activities at the new port.” Haynes also said that the Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., “will not, at first, continue to use the port as its landing base because the adminis-tration-hangar will not be completed for some time.” The contract for the building was let by the Slack administration and members of the present board have faced a series of complications in their efforts to finish the job.

FOOD SCIENTISTS RECOMMEND EATING IN MID-AFTERNOON Experiments Show That Sugar in Food or Beverages Overcomes Fatigue Modern business invariably makes its greatest demands on workers during the latter part of the afternoon. Yet that is just the time of the working day when vitality is the lowest. Recent scientific investigations have proved that this mid-afternoon fatigue can be quickly overcome by eating sweet cakes, a few pieces of candy, a dish of ice cream or the drinking of a sweet beverage. A glass of water sweetened with sugar will revive one in an amazing way. The reason for this lies in the quick digestibility of refined sugar. There are few food products that nourish the body so speedily. And when the system is nourished, fatigue is noticeably decreased. With practically no loss of time, and very little expense, a midafternoon snack can be enjoyed. Dispensers of sweet drinks and confectionery are within the reach of all. Asa matter of fact, a few pieces of candy or sugar can be conveniently kept in one's desk and eaten when tired. Most foods are more delicious and nourishing with sugar The Sugar Institute.

Electricity—Battling governmental ownership, forced to go into politics, business good and getting better. Oil—Buffeted by weaknesses within the industry’, too much waste, conservation of oil resources an absolute necessity. Radio—Growing extremely rapid, no precedent to guide its growth, careful supervision . necessary. Steel—ln excellent financial and material condition, eady to meet any challenge of changing business conditions. Rubber— Looking forward to a successful year in 1931. Merchandising—Only the chain stores, department stores and mail order houses have kept pace with other industries in modernization. Until the others, particularly small dealers, change their methods they will go backward instead of forward. Stocks are low and wholesale sales showing improvement in the last quarter. Harvey S. Firestone Jr., vice-pres-ident of Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, said that the rubber industry based its optimism on the anticipated replacement business and on the fact that cotton and rubber are at the lowest prices in history. The conference ended Wednesday night with a banquet.
