Part of the floor space in the new journalism building will be devoted to work in chemistry and psy chology. When the new journalism building is completed the school will have 28 offices and lecture rooms and laboratories on the'eam pus.

As the building season approaches its final stages there is a tendency toward more inaustrial construction and it would not be surprising If a considerable development of this nature were witnessed In the near future, according to S. W. Straus of S. W. Straus & Co. in discussing the building situation throughout the United States. - "It must be borne in mind that the bulk of the nation's construction facilities this year have been made use of in providing residential structures of all types. As general business develops, however, there Is found to be an Increased demand for business structures. This does not mean that the demand for new resi dential types has spent its force, but there is an increasing tendency toward a larger proportion of the nation's construction equipment be ing needed tn providing new Indus trial and commercial buildings." Mr. Straus declared that the factor of chief significance is not the fact that the greatest building boom in history has existed, but that more Americans have become home own ers this year than in any previous year in history.
