Optimism was a scarce article at the meeting- of representatives of the builders and allied Interests which was held Friday evening- at the (Jary Chamber of Commerce. Builders, real estate men and financiers were present from Gary. Hammond, East Chicago ami Whiting:, and the greneral opinion seemed to prevail that In spite of the fact that a heavy landing propram was never reeded worse, construction this year will be far short of what It should be. Increasing costs of materia! and labor together with restrictions of productin advocated by some of the craft and the hesitancy on the part of In-anr-iers to advance money on projects which they hold are filled with uncertainty, are given as the reason for the sentiments expressed at the meeting. The building outlook was thoroughly discussed but no definite action was taken at the meeting. A committee composed of l.eon Granger, of Hammond; II. G. Hay. of Gary; H. S. Pavidson, of Whiting; H. It. Oln'-y. of East t'hicago and Joseph Frost of Gary was appointed to draw up a statement setting forth the attitude of those present on the problem. This win he suhm'tted at Knottier meeting at the Gary Chamber of Commerce for the approval of the entite body. It was the expresed desire of those nresent that anv statement which they make should not be taken as advising the public for or against building but should simply be construed as txpressmg the attitude of those part tcipu ins? in ihfl meeting. ATTEND BIG MEETING Two hundred members of Loyal Order of the Moose and their friends gathered last night at Moose Lodge, at Long's hall, and listened attentively while E. J. Helming, of San Diego. Past Supreme Dictator, and Govet nor of Mooseheart. described the hep-inning, prowth and future of Mooseheart. the city of children, on Fox 1 1 1 . r , miles west of Chicago. .1. J. Davis, general director of the organization, who was .-scheduled as the speaker, failed to appear as he was called home, according to a te'epratn read at the meeting, to greet a young Moose and son. which he had Veen expecting. The n.eetinp was the first step In a drive to augment the ranks of local Moose. With a total membership of lose to f.r" Hammond Lodge No. 57" hopes to double the number f members within a year. Sine of the thoughts thrown out by Mr. Henninp In his I nt eaj.-st in ; talk T hich covered an hour and a half were: Loyal Order of Moose is composed of the great middle class men and women who know what it is to struggle to make ends me.-t. The fraternal lodges are the best melting pots in America, and in the fraternal lodge room may be found the true American type. It is the inalienable right of every child to be born apeer and to receive all the benefits of schooling and pnysical development. Mooseh-art vvi 1 take cate of the orphans of Moose parents.

Mooseheart comprises b"r'0 acres, a modern city covering- 2n" a.cros. the schools where 22 vocations are taught to children from ten years up. and where the Loyal Orde rof Moose has spent to date $- 001,000.
