It will cost approximately 25 per cent less than it would under ordinary conditions. 2. It will contribute to the relief of unemployment among building tradesmen and aid business in its start toward better conditions. Such is the belief of state officials and others having to do with the construction of state buildings. It is the advice of George M. Stout, secretary of the state veteran's welfare board, who is already planning the expenditure of $20,000,000 voted by the state at the last election to complete the farm and home building program for California veterans. "In the experience of the board," said Stout. "It has been found that the construction—including labor and material—represents about half the total. The other 50 per cent goes to the purchase of a lot, including street work, etc., and to pay promotion costs, profits, overheads." "The average cost distribution in California, on a $5,000 home for example, we have found to be approximately as follows: Labor, 26 per cent or $1,300; materials, 25 per cent, or $1,250; lot, 22 per cent of $1,100; promoters, 27 per cent, or $1,350." "The 36 per cent which goes for labor has spent the rest of his life in the state from which he was appointed. President of the California Orchard Co., Fruit Growers Supply Co., Fruit Growers Exchange, the American Institute of Cooperation and other organizations, he differs radically from Denman in that he represents essentially business viewpoint on the board, despite his early farm training. He is the man who has put a miniature "qualification fee" program in operation in the California grape industry. Very brisk, he is personally more reticent than the other members. The Northwest's contribution to the board, William F. Schilling, responsible for the dairy industry, places the emphasis again on the farmer viewpoint. He is proud of his Holstelns at Northfield, Minn., and says they are the second oldest herd in the state. An editor for a while, he helped organize 3 years ago the first cooperative creamery and "took $50 stock on it." He also boasts that he was "under indictment in 1917 and 1918 in Hennepin county Minn., for helping to form a cooperative milk producers association." A director of Land-O'Lakes Creamery and other groups, he is, with Denman, the most directly identified with the industry he represents. Another of the big men on the board, he is a humorist of parts and a great favorite in Washington. The member of the board who has almost effaced himself from the public eye is Charles S. Wilson, vegetable representative from Hall, N.Y., where he has operated for years a 500-acre farm. He is the real general of the entire board membership. Apples, wheat, other grains, large lots of cabbage and other commodities are grown on the Wilson farm. He has spent most of his time on the board in exhaustive groundwork for cooperatives. Physically large and personally retiring, he has struck to his knitting and absolutely fought off publicity. The lone politician on the board Samuel R. McKelvie of Lincoln, Nebraska not only been governor of his state but he operates a 760-acre farm and edits the Nebraska Farmer. The smallest physically of the board members he is also one of the friendliest. He is a firm believer of the marketing act tried the sales tax as a means of raising revenue. The gasoline sales tax is in general use, in almost all of the states, as everybody knows. New York levies a tax on the sale of stock. Advocates of the sales tax contend that it is the fairest of all forms of taxation, being based upon definite transactions in which money changes hands. Since the war many European countries have adopted it, and it ranks second only to the income tax as a revenue producer. Germany gets 15 percent of her public funds from the sales tax, Belgium, France, Austria and Czechoslovakia somewhat more. Whether our Federal Government ever tries it on a large scale or not, we effort to pass a sales bill is likely to be made in the next Congress. EINSTEIN George Bernard Shaw, who has the clearest mind of any man in England introduced Professor Albert Einstein to a London audience the other night as the man who has created a new universe." Eight men, each in his own line, had changed our conception of the universe, Shaw said. They are Pythagoras, Ptolemy, Kepler, Copernicus, Aristotle, Galileo, Newton and Einstein. Each of those scientists gave the world a new conception of natural laws. Each in his turn proved that the others had been wrong, but each of them served the purpose of his times. Over a period of two thousand years man is gradually learning the truth about the world he lives in. A few hundred years from now some scientist equipped with better measuring instruments than are available today may prove that Einstein is wrong in his theory that a straight line is not the shortest distance between two points and that light travels in curves instead of straight lines. But this theory will stand until somebody finds an unescapable fact which contradicts it. That is the way scientific knowledge grows. Man probably will never know all the facts about the universe, but we are learning faster now than ever before. 666 Relieves a Headache or Neuralgia In 30 said Stout, "It has been found that the construction—including labor and material—represents about half the total. The other 50 per cent goes to the purchase of a lot, including street work, etc., and to pay promotion costs, profits, overheads. "The average cost distribution in California, on a $5,000 home for example, we have found to be approximately as follows: Labor, 26 per cent or $1,300; materials, 25 per cent, or $1,250; lot, 22 per cent of $1,100; promoters, 27 per cent, or $1,350." The 36 per cent which goes for labor is spent about as follows: 9 per cent to carpenters, 6 per cent to bricklayers, 4 per cent to plasters and hodcarriers, 2 per cent to plumbers, 1 per cent to electricians and 4 per cent to miscellaneous costs." Building experts of the state place the present cost of lumber and other building materials at about one-fourth less than that of a year ago. This means in other words, that 75 cents today will pay for as much building construction as a dollar would a year ago. The trend of prices is upward, however, and with the return of normal conditions it is expected that prices within another year will again reach their formal level. Special to Gazette Washington, D. C.,—Every one of the other seven members of the Federal Farm board is as much a personality in his way as is Chairman Legge, concerning whom I wrote last week. The vice chairman of the board, James C. Stone, came to the board from the presidency of the Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative association; a Kentuckian at birth and since, he lives at Lexington. He says that he "was born and raised on a farm; and when I got through college I went into the tobacco business, in the warehouse business." His cooperative grow to where it handled from 80 to 85 per cent of the Burley crop. Another big man he resembles Chairman Legge in this respect, but his personality is quietly friendly where Legge's is dynamic. He is the diplomat of the board. Few men in the country combine Stone's long experience in farm cooperation with his enthusiastic belief in its efficiency. Carl Williams, an Indiana Hoosier who turned Oklahomaan by way of Colorado, Michigan and Missouri, represents cotton and is one of the four journalists on the board. His family early left the farm because "of their Wilson farm. He has spent most of his time on the board in exhaustive groundwork for cooperatives. Physically large and personally retiring, he has struck to his knitting and absolutely fought off publicity. The lone politician on the board Samuel R. McKelvie of Lincoln, Nebraska has not only been governor of his state but he operates a 760-acre farm and edits the Nebraska Farmer. The smallest physically of the board members he is also one of the friendliest. He is a firm believer of the marketing act which established the board and is personally conducting a campaign against grain commission men. As wheat representative he must grapple with the oldest and largest, in quantity, of the farm problems. The opposite of Wilson he has attracted much publicity. Originally appointed for a year and regarded as a temporary member, he is now held to be permanently established. VOICES The head of a college of music has got into the newspapers by announcing that the pitch of American girls' voices is getting lower, and attributing this to "yelling at football games and smoking cigarettes." It is much more probable that the American type is changing through the admixture of races, and that the average American girl has a better muscular development than her grandmother had. Physical training rather than cigarettes would tend to enlarge the breathing passages which affect the pitch of the voice. If the change which this teacher has noticed is general, so much the better. The high-pitched American female voice, almost shrill, grates on sensitive ears. Women may admire sopranos, but most men prefer the deep-toned contralto voice. JUNK Nearly a year's experience with the plan, adopted by all of the large automobile makers, of offering a bonus to dealers for "junking" used cars, seems to have had a good effect, not only in stimulating the market for new cars out in removing dangerous vehicles from the roads. Ford is paying $20 for each hopeless Carl Williams, an Indiana Hoosier who turned Oklahoma by way of Colorado, Michigan and Missouri, represents cotton and is one of the four journalists on the board. His family early left the farm because "of their inability to make a living," he says, but after he became reporter and managing editor his studies "were along agricultural lines even then." His two main farm beliefs are that tenant and roper system of cotton farming is destroying the individual farmer by keeping him in debt, and that there are "a tremendous number of evils" in scattered marketing of cotton. The fact that he reached these conclusions while editing a farm paper is a key to his background. His practical experience with cooperative marketing covers 16 years or more, during which time he has directed a number of ventures. Not quite so large physically as Stone and Legge, he has the former's basic faith in cooperation, and the latter's breadth of view, with something of his own added. All of C. B. Denman's life has gone into livestock farming that he represents on the board, since he saw the light on a 200-acre farm in Bollinger county, Mo., where he has always lived. He helped organize in 1921 the National Livestock Producers association, of which he was president when he came to the board; since this agency is one of the main agencies organized under the board, no other member is so completely allied with the industry he represents. An individual farmer all his life, Denman typifies the farmer more than any other man on the board. Not a good speaker in public, he is yet continuing, and his fundamentally farmer viewpoint plays a big part in the boards' formulation of policy. He is another six-foot specimen of the 200-pounder. The fruit member of the board is C. J. Teague of California, a short but heavily built man who was born in Maine, grew up mostly in Kansas and voice, almost shrill, grates on sensitive cars. Women may admire sopranos, out most men prefer the deep-toned contralto voice. JUNK Nearly a year's experience with the plan, adopted by all of the large automobile makers, of offering a bonus to dealers for "junking" used cars, seems to have had a good effect, not only in stimulating the market for new cars out in removing dangerous vehicles from the roads. Ford is paying $20 for each hopeless Ford car delivered at the factory. Other makers allow from $20 to $40 to dealers for each car junked in the presence of responsible witnesses or factory representatives. The dealer has to find his own "graveyard" for the wreck, and that is a difficult problem in some localities. Almost every abandoned quarry and mine has been filled to the top with old cars. On some of the undeveloped streets in the suburbs of New York ancient automobiles virtually line the roadway on both sides. There is a fortune waiting for the man who will discover a cheap and speedy way of reducing ancient cars to their original raw steel. NOISE Hiram P. Maxim, son of one great inventor and nephew of another, and almself the inventor of the gunman's pet, the Maxim silencer for firearms, has found a way, he tells the world, to keep noise out of the house even with the windows open. The principal use of such an invention will be, of course, in the large titles, where noise interferes not only with sleep but with the health of those who get no respite from it through the twenty-four hours. But everywhere there will be a demand for a silencer of this sort, for hospitals and rooms from which all external sounds must be excluded, as well as for places near railroads and other sources of noise. TAXES One of the things we are going to near more about in the next two or three years is the proposal for a Federal Sales Tax on all merchandise, or on a good many items. At present the Government uses a sales tax on automobiles, corporation stock sales and some other things. EVERY time I see a Sunkist ad—I get a thrill out of it.

To the first sort we apply such adjectives as smart, intriguing., striking, while the second sort are spoken of as pretty, picturesque or girlish. And while evening dresses of the first group are usually supposed to be especially appropriate to somewhat older women, it is to be the very young women that they usually make their strongest appeal. The yellow chiffon evening dress shown in the sketch would not be at all difficult to make at home, and the picture scale trimming of artificial forget-me-nots would be very easy to apply. You may buy a bunch of the little flowers and apply them as shown to the collar and belt, or if you like you might use tiny rosebuds or any other sort of small blossom.
