IN THE OLD HOME TOWN It htis boon estimated by the Ameri can Engineerirtu Council that if 500. 000,000 a jiear is lost in the building industry alone through unemploy ment. That is merely the average loss. This year it is probably more. And it is merely the loss in watfes. That is serious enough in itself. ' oj the peopld drectly concerned it means hardship, sickness and disability, an '. the ultimate cost to them may be double the original loss in earning. But 'hat is only u beginning of the story. The man who. bv constructive work, makes money for himself nl-'o makes money for the mnn he woiki for or more accurately speaking, he enahjes the man he works (or to make money. Neiilicr can make money without the other, any more than one blade of a pair of shears can cut without the other. The employing contractor therefore, loses money.

Ixing before mej great war, Kipling's "with the Night Mail" was no loss truly prophetic than truly imaginative. I The bunlen of high explosive' bombs borne by (icinuui Zeppelin.; and allied aircraft on many fronts was proof enough of the possibilities which the future held? Now the Ilritish government makes public the actual value of aerial imports and ex ports passing through the customs of the United Kingdom ill 11)110. ' Last year such imports, mostly of cloth and fur, totalled $:1,:8."),2.I5 in value, and exports ?l,U;i.",r10. There is promise ill these figures, as well as romance. i In this country commercial avia-; tion has, as yet, been limited to the mails and to occasional freighting trips in which advertising, rather than business, ends were served. Passenger traffic .has nowhero approached i i volume that across the Knglish chan nel. In fact, we have yet to (icvelop our first regular air route for those on business bound who hope to reach their destinations safely as well as quickly. j There must be omc reason for ties strange inertia on the part of a peo ple which has always boasted of its inventiveness and of the progressive spirit which actuates its business ac tivities. ' What s the reason, anyhow? Or are the Progressivencss and the inventive ness alike figments of patriotic press agents imagination? in y fix 1 wl im UADi:5 TrtlMHUE CLUB DECIDED TO J ASchool Scandal- I: looks like the financial world w&i about to realize the worth of Union county bonds and make Home attract ive bids for them.

So idleness is the must destructive of all losses, because when one eco nomic group loses through . huictKHi, nil the other groups lose, t,vo. ) Much of this loss is due to strikes' and lockouts. More of it is dim to the fact that building tradi-s are "sea onal occupations'' and it is regarded as inevitable that a large part of ev ery1 year Hhould be spent in idleness. It is not inevi able. It is Hituply 1ad management. Sooner or later some way will be found to keep build ers employe-! the year around.

If the offender promis I es, he is allowed to proceed on his' way. If ho 'refuses, he is taken tn I the station 41 1 once and put under 1 J bomf to appear.
