FEDERAL BUILDING ’
PLANS SUPPLY JOBS
A
Treasury Department Ready
to Begin 142 Structures.
Washington.—Using funds from the
?100,000,(XK) granted by the emergency
relief and construction act passed by
the last session of congress, a federal
public bbUding program that will ulti
mately give employment to hundreds
of thousands of men is under way
throughout the country.
That 400,0(10 persons are at present
employed in connection with some
phrase of the construction of 41 post
offices, custom houses, and other build
ings was pointed out in Washington
by Ferry K. Heath, assistant secre
tary of the treasury, who is director
of the building program. A total of
100,000 are actually engaged in work
ing on th» buildings and 300,000 others
in fabricating and material plants, he
said.
Meanwhile, plans are being made to
launch work on 142 more such con
struction projects, in 35 states involv
ing an outlay of $20,810,000. This list
includes new federal buildings that
win cost between $300,000 and $100,-
000 each. The 41 projects now being
greeted each will cost more than $300,-
000.
Workmen in the West have also been
encouraged by the act of the Recon
struction Finance corporation in grant
ing a $40,000,000 loan to the Los An
geles metropolitan water district,
which covers more than a dozen south
ern California cities.
This loan is to aid in piping water
from the Colorado river above Hoover
dam at a final cost of about $220,000,-
(Hto. The loan will be made through
the purchase of $4^,000,000 of 5 per
cent bonds of the water district.
Huge Sum Not Allocated.
In announcing the loan, officials in
1 Washington said that 1,000 men prob
ably would be employed by the end of
this year and about 4,500 by next
July.
Resides creation of employment di
rectly on construction work, much in
direct employment will be created, for
a vast amount of materials and sup
plies will be required. The aqueduct
itself will be 230 miles long. Eighty-
five miles of 10-foot tunnel must be
driven through the mountains and
lined with concrete.
Of the $100,000,000 set aside by the
last congress through the emergency
relief and construction act as a means
of providing employment through a
public building program. $74,500,000
has thus far been allocated, leaving
$25,500,000 yet Jo he assigned. It is
expected that tire greater part of this
balance will be distributed for the con
struction of federal buildings that are
to cost less than $100,000 each.
This third list of construction jobs
will he forthcoming soon, according to
announcement made at the time the
second list was made public.
In the list of 142 projects costing
between $300,000 and $100,000 each.
New York state leceives the largest
number of projects, 24. California is
second, with 17. Of the 35 states re
ceiving such buildings, only 12 re
ceived but one structure.
Another federal agency, the War de
partment, is also planning to provide
work through a vast construction pro
gram. This program calls for the ex
penditure of $41,577,200 on tlood con
trol and rivers and harbors projects.
By this program War department offi
cials expect 25,000 persons to be re
moved from the ranks of the Jobless.
No delay in getting the program un
der way is expected by army engi
neers. Many of the projects already
have been started, and plans have
be^n drfiwn up for the rest.
Under authorization of the last con
gress, the War department also ex-
l»ect8 to spend $15,164,000 on construc
tion work at military posts. This is
expected to begin soon, and officials
believe it will give work to 10,000
persons.
In announcing the fact that 400,000
persons are now at work on federal
construction projects under the emer
gency relief and construction act, Di
rector Heath said that by June 30,
1933, the government will have under
contract virtually 90 per cent of the
public works necessary for the next
25 years.
It is expected that milions of dollars
will be saved the government when
the, construction of large working
post offices is completed. Among the
large post offices now under construc
tion are those at New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago, Kansas City, Atlanta, and
Albany, N. Y.
Through the use of private archi
tects for many of the projects, prog
ress in carrying out the building pro
gram has been speeded up more than
100 per cent. Since the program was
begun, contracts have been made with
264 architectural firms for plans on
buildings representing a cost of more
than $200,000,000.
During the last ten months 105 fed
eral buildings have been completed at
a total cost of about $310,000,000, ac
cording to Mr. Heath.

Flcrence of Florentine 360583. this

various prizes and showed that these
clubsters are really learning to be
better farmers than their dads are.

Farm Facts.
Farmers have about finished gath
ering a small c ,tton crop. On’y one
or two other years have shown a
smaller yirld; then factors were
largely responsible for the low yield.
Reduced acreage, small amount of
fertilizer u^ed and poor seasons, no
doubt this c!Oip wa s grown at less
cost than any other in recent years,
which was Well because of the small
yield and lew price received for
much of it.
Grain planting is now in full swing,
and farmers are urged to treat seed
cats before planting. A large acre
age will be found very valuable to
be used as feed, grazing and turning
under as cover crop. Oats may he
used as a large part of the grain
feed for the different kinds of live
stock.
Good stands of Austrian peas aie
being secured. Those farmers who
have not yet planted are urged to do
so at once, as it is getting rather late
after November 1st.
For a supply of home-cured meat,
faimers should be feeding their hogs
a full ration t of corn along with some
fish meal and cotton seed meal mixed
equal parts. The amount of corn
will give much larger returns when
so fed.—By H. G. Boylston, Co. Agt.

Care in Home Canning
A
T this time when home can
ning is widespread, it is
proper to utter a word of
warning about proper care in the
home preservation of foods. Prop
erly processed they are saife and
wholesome; otherwise sicknees
may result from their consump-
in an article entitled “Newer
Knowledge on Botulism and Mus
sel Poisoning” in the American
A nice r——Journal of Public Health. K. F.
Meyer, Ph.D.. Hooper Foundation
for Medical Research, University
of California, said:
“Home preserved vegetables,
fruits, fish and meats have been
the products responsible, with
the exception of two cases of
botulism traced to shalots packed
in Italy. Commercially pre
served foods have not been con
nected with any of the recognized
cases of botulism since 1925 . . .
Continuous vigilant supervision
and far reaching education have
been responsible for the removal
of the botulinus menace from the
commercial packing industry.”
“Home canned string beans,”
he said later, “continue to play
a very important role, largely
due to the well known fact that
spoilage of this vegetable when
preserved is so slight that the
housewife or cook will often fail
to detect it. Furthermore, string
beans are~Tfequehtly served as
salads and any odor which migh
arouse suspicion is usually
masked by the vinegar or may
onnaise dressing. Home canned
corn has also been a frequent
offender. . . .
“From a public health stand
point it is imperative that the
principles developed by the can
ning industry be applied to the
methods of home canning.”*

M
Ostrich Not Set Down
“Unclean” in Holy Writ
It has been thought by many com
mentators that the ostrich was reck
oned amongst unclean animals, and
that the writer of I^evlticus 11:16.
meant that bird by the word which
is set down as owl In our ordinarily
used version of the Bible. But It can
hardly be considered wise to hold that
Moses, the reputed original writer of
Leviticus, was so completely ignorant
of the natural history of the wilder
ness that he was misled into confus
ing the name of an owl for that of
the ostrich! Nor were copyists very
likely to make such a blunder. Owls
do live In desert places, and as expe
rience In the Great American desert
of the United States shows, exist in
conjunction with serpents upon which
they feed.
If unclean at all it would only be on
account of its omniverous habits
which lead It to swallow almost any
thing it can obtain. But most likely
the ostrich was left out of considera
tion altogether in the compilation of
the clean and unclean lists, ns being
unlikely ever to he met with in the
Land of Promise.
Although the fact Is not mentioned
In Holy Writ, it Is true that ostriches’
eggs have always been used for food
by travelers, and there Is no authen
tic old tradition which exempted. Jews
from such custom.—Exchange.
