$3,000,909,000 ' PWA PROGRAM IS UNDER WAY Private Building Also Far Ahead of Government Expectations. BY ROBERT S. BROWN limr% Spinal Writer. WASHINGTON. April 20.—From ronsf to roast dirt ha.s begun to fly In tho Public Works Administrations $3 300 000.000 program to provide employment and to produce needed public improvements. With the actual start of this ’onga waited expenditure for public construction has come a decided upswing in private building, forecasting for the spring and summer months more activity than has been experienced in any similar period since the beginning of the depression. Steel, blue chip leader of the business, has felt the spurt of increased construction. Consume: commitments reveal a gain of 25 per cent, for the first quarter, thus indicating steady increases for the second quarter in heavy building operations. Public works administration figures for thirty-seven states show that March construction contracts totaled 5179.1H3.000 or nearly twice the figure for February. Os this amount $126,210,000 goes for publicly financed building and $52,953,000 for private programs. Billion to Date Approximately $1,000,000,000 in PWA money has been paid out to date for construction, Harold L. lekos, administrator, estimates. This amount is in addition to other expenditures authorized bv congress and including $1,100,000,000 for carrying on the civil works administration, the civilian conservation corps and other executive enactments. Allotments have been made for approximately 15.203 projects of which 13,138 are federal and 2.065 nonfederal. The latter classification includes loans to limited dividend corporations for construction of low cost housing and to railroads for purchase of steel rails and equipment. Allotments for nonfederal projects will total in the neighborhood of $800,000,000 but actual expenditures will reach a billion due to the fact that in many cases recipients snf 30 pel- cent PWA grants obtained rhe remaining 70 per cent of the cost from other sources. Cities Swell Total In addition to this general construction program under PWA, Ickes believes that an additional $100,000,000 now is being spent by states, cities and counties for the building of new bridges and roads, which, added to the original allotment of $400,000,000 for federal highways, brings the total to a

PEACH BLOSSOMS FOR A PEACH

The Ozarks are beautiful with peach blossoms in the springtime and the peaches that grow in that section also are a treat to the eye. If there's any doubt on this score, observe Miss Martha Mace of Springfield, Mo., as she poses here, her beauty rivaling that of the blooms.

half-billion. PWA loans for the additional $100,000,000 In road building total $50,646,000. From still another department in public works comes added impetus to the rising construction figures. The federal emergency housing corporation with a fund of approximately $125,000,000 is entering into the housing field. Land options are being taken and actual building in many of the larger cities will be under way in another thirty days. In practically a.ll cases this construction takes the form of apartment dwellings. After a slow start in the summer of 1933, the PWA now is swinging into full production. lekes states that a peak in employment on public projects will be reached in August, then will begin a tapering of! process to be picked up again next spring as allotment of funds from the expected appropriation of $500,000,000 more in public works monies by the present congress is made to the 6.106 applications still pending before the PWA.

Why Liquid Laxatives Do You No Harm

The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action ran be controlled. It forms no habit; you need not take a ‘‘double dose” a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement, and with no discomfort at the time, or afterward. The wrong cathartic may keep you constipated as long as you keep on using it! An approved liquid laxative Cone which is most widely used for both adults and children) is syrup pepsin. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a prescription, and is perfectly safe. Its laxative action is based on senna—a natural laxative. The bowels will not become dependent on this form of help, as they do in the case of cathartics containing mineral drugs. Ask your druggist for Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Member N. R. A.
