(Special) The advance in home building as exemplified In the Hoover Building code has met and with stood a severe test in the recent Florida hurricane.) ;' Coral Gables, one of the most widely known cities in the' path of the storm, was practically undam aged. It was built of masonry construction according to stand ards set up. by the Hooyer code. Recent reports by investigators who have viewed the effects of the 12-mtle wind say . that the lack of damage was due only to the great strength of material and mortar used in the wall construction. . When the city was planned, a Mediterranean style of architect ure was chosen and the effect was carried out in concrete masonry walls which were coated with textured and tinted stucco. Gaily colored , tile, roofs s were used. Those in charge of construction kept closevsnperrision of the work to .make." sure that the standards laid down in the building code prepared by the UJ 8. department of commerce wire complied wtthV ' - In the; - opinion . of , those who have: made the' survey." of the. sit uation, Athefreedom from damage and loss of life As compared, with other cttles fir the path of the storm and where flimsy construc tion .wis 'the .rule,' brings, out the sound Judgment of ,uang, mater ial -of sufficient strength to ;pre serve the integrity of the build ing itself under most unfavorable conditions. .-- The ' Cherry City Baklnr Co.'i bread, pies and cakes are of high est quality.

Like any other red-faced, feeblv-kickincr. sauallincr little brat, of good parentage, but starting in. on oracticallv noth ing but its heridity and the loving care of its parents. lhe child that doesn't grow, is a dwarf, a misconcept; if it lacks either soul or body; it will be a total loss, i But the Salem Y had both; and it had heritage, and love. and nurture. It simply had to grow. Well, it did. From the first $1200 budget and one room and one 'scared worker, to ' a $200,000 plant and a whole raft of night-and-day busy employes. ' . ' This is its thirty-fifth anniversary. At thirty-five, al most. anything that man makes or knows can be judged by what it has already done. The Y ought to stand on its rec ord. Financially, it has grown 15,000 per cent. Physically it has grown from a bare office to a splendid body-and-sould-building plant, a factory where raw human material i built into units that are to influence the whole world.for; the "better. V-? k Socially, it started with The Big Idea; that was founded on the Rock of Ages; and it couldn't well change. But the facilities for service, for reaching so many more men in so many more ways, have increased enormously, and the en thusiasm in the last extension is as great as that in the first. Spiritually and socially it has kept the faith. VVhat more, indeed,' could any human agency do, than to keep the faith and never turn back to any task of regenera tion, of service, of social or spiritual betterment? - The thirty-fifth anniversary ought to bring joy; for the Y has justified the faith and the hopes of every idealist who has ever had a hand in its growth. It has grown no corns, 110 crooked limbs, no cancers, no diseased lungs or tained breath; it's clean and white clear through. A birthday that brought only increasing weakness, in creasing years without increasing knowledge, the fear that its mission was misunderstood or the sneaking consciousness that the whole life had been a fraud and a hypocrisy, would be a sorry enough anniversary. It might be celebrated m the asylum, in the gutter, but not in the light of day. The Salem Y is glad, to call attention to its years, and ask the public to note that they have been industriously, wisely spent. For manv years, the Salem Y did a work that was nation wide in its reputation for excellence with a starvling equip ment. Now, the association has as good an equipment as any: an adequate staff ; the loyal support of the community that is gladly giving to thousands where once it gave to tens: - - .. -a A It 1 T A X A of hundreds with tear ana tremDiing ana aisirusi. it is a challenge to the Y to do better than ever before. v There is a beautiful story of a prince who headed Ins army against the army. The battle tide went against them. One stout warrier, with, the point 01 nis swora DroKen in nas first encounter, threw away the weapon and took to his heels. The Prince, fighting desperately, sword broken to the hilt, was forced backward, unarmed. He stumbled over the re creant knight's blade, with its point DroKen. "Ha! A good sword!" he cried, flinging away the worth less pommel and seizing the hew arm. "Now I am armed. Men, to me! I, the son of the king, am armed and again able to fight! Forward!" And they won the day. The Salem Y, with its umitea HOLLYWOOD SHOW ws New Theater on North Cap itol Street Will Hold 550 Persons, Claim equipment, has f ougnt me xh light. Now it Is armea;- ana m the Bpirlt of the Prince, the son of the King, it is going on. How far and how fast, depends partly on the warriors with it. But the spirit is right, and the Y is going into its 36 th year as sure of a, sweeping victory as it is sure that it has won its fights in the past. The Y is no .any other man or woman; it is you. It is the tang ible spirit of humanity that ivea for the Joy of giving, that serves for the Joy of service, and that in cidentally always gets usurious profits on its gifts. You want the Y to grow faster end to do more and do it quicker? Fine pitch in and pull. Throw away the breeching and dig into the collar, and the Y growth for the past 35 years will look like a funeral beside a 100-horsepower auto for speed.

With construction having con tinued three weeks,; John Will iamson's new Hollywood theater at North Capital street and Fair grounds road is beginning to as sume form.' The building faces Capital street, and is 50 by 100 feet in size, with a main floor, sub floor and upper floor. The main floor will be taken up by the theater auditorium and stage, the theater lobby, a small store space, and an office for Mr. Williamson. The sub-floor above it will have rest rooms, operator's room, and a manager's office. The upper floor will be occupied by nine up to date apartments. . The ; thecter auditorium will hold 550 persons, and will" have excellent accommodations. . deco rations, and the like, according to Mr. Williamson. - What kind of pictures: will be shown has not b-?en decided, but first ran shows may bo put on. All .footings for the building have been poured, as has the sub floor for the stage. The basement beneath the stage is also complete. Forms for the four valls are in place, topetbor with the reinforc ing concrete. With good weather continuing, the building vv ill be roofed over in about 30 days, Mr. Williamson believes. There will be excellent heating and ventilating systems installed in the new theater, the builders ttate.
