Do Something Beside Criticize

The average American dearly loves to point out where the other fellow is falling down. The conference aimed at limiting national armaments now In session in Washington is calling forth millions of words of criticism, much of it springing from ignorance or halfknowledge which is about as bad One great object of the conference is to stop throwing billions of dollars into great navies and standing armies. This will mean lower taxes. It will mean that Europe will be able to pay at least the interest on what it owes the American people in hard cash. Everyone can help to bring about real results in Washington. You can inform yourself thoroughly on the necessity for this great saving. You can secure, free, the result of the investigations made in France bv the committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.

ISSUE EIGHT PERMITS DURING MONTH FOR NEW BUILDINGS HERE

Reports of Building Inspector John Pinnick, for the month of November, show a total of only $12,825 worth of new and remodeling work going on. This report is unusually low, in view of the fact that $34,200 worth of rebuilding and remodeling was going on at this time last year. The December total will be much

i larger, Mr. Pinnick said, because many

large November permits have been held up and will go in on the December amount. Eleven new and 15 remodeling jobs were started in November. 1920, according to last year's report. The report this year shows eight new and 11 remodeling jobs started. Twelve wiring and 16 heating permits have been granted. Total collections for the month were only $46.00. Cite Building Difficulties Weather conditions, high taxes and the inability of the people to carry new construction work at the present

: time were among other reasons cited

by the inspector for the poor showing this month. One permit for $40,noo worth of new construction will be filed in December, be said. This is for the new Peele factory building on the west side.

HEAVY BUYING SEN US RATE OF MARKS UP

LONDON. Dec. 1 German marks underwent further marked recovery on the London exchange market today. Heavy buying sent the rate to 750 to the pound sterling, against yesterday's close of 9S0. Profit taking sales by speculators who bought at the highest figure caused occasional reactions, but purchases predominated. The recovery was assisted by optimism regarding the negotiations now proceeding between Dr. Walter Rathenau. former German minister of reconstruction, and the financial heads of the British government in regard to Germany's forthcoming reparations payments and the possibility of a mortorium.
