C-2 PHOTO CONTEST JUDGES' NAMED Commissioner Hazen Among Those Selected for Cherry Blossom Competition, Judges for the Kenwood Japanese cherry blossom photographic ocontest were announced todsy by the Ken- nedy-Chamberlin Development Co,, sponsors of the amateur competition. They are Commjssioner Melvin C. Hazen, B. A. Hewins, manager of local Eastman Kodak stores; Earl Heap, photographic editor of The Star, and Hugh Miller, photographic editor of the Post. It is anticipated that the nearly 2,000 cherry trees which line the road- ways in Kenwood will be in bloom shortly after April 1. The trees blos- som about a week later than those about the Tidal Basin. So the contest, open to all amateur photographers in ‘Washington and nearby Maryland and Virginia, will be launched soon. Any type of picture which features the blossom s eligible for the contest. Winner to Get $100. ' The winner of the competition will receive $100. Other prizes include a 875 second-place award, $50 for third, $25 for fourth, $10 for fifth, while the winners of the next 16 places may re- oceive either $2.50 in cash or Japa- nese cherry trees from the Rock Creek Nurseries, Rockville, Md. Coples of contest rules may be ob- tained at the fleld office of the Ken- nedy-Chamberlin Development Co., by telephoning Wisconsin 4425, or direct- ly from the office at Chamberlin ave- nue and Kennedy drive, Kenwood. The sponsors have suggested the fol- lowing subjects for contestants: Blos- soms regardless of background; cherry trees with house in background; trees with & child in the foreground, and & street lined with trees. ‘Will Not Be Returned. 1t was stated that no entries will be returned, but with exception of the winners, whose entries will become the property of the company, any entry may be called for at the field house. The contest will close as soon as the blossoms begin to fall. Immediately following the closing entries will be judged at the Kenwood Golf and Country Club. Then these will be ex- hibited in the club house. Entries will be judged solely on pho- tographc interest, : d shots taken with the smallest or most inexpensive cam- eras will have the same chance of wine ning as those taken with elaborate equipment. Photographs may be any size up to 8 by 10 inches, but must be mounted on white cardboard with an inch margin on all sides.

So when the locals fail to encourage apprentices, they are merely protect- ing their own.” But in their dogged insistence that no labor shortage is on the way “lies the most difficult aspect in the problem of alleviating & potential shortage.” Citing factors that conspire to bring about a shortage of building trades- men, the Forum says: “Today 40 per cent of the 1,000,000-odd skilled build- ing mechanics are 45 years old or older. The ratio: 12.8 per cent are under 24, 224 per cent between 25 and 34, 277 per cent between 35 and 44, 21.2 per cent. between 45 and o4, 12.9 per cent between 55 and 64, and 8.2 per cent 65 and older. Absorption of eligibles by the work relief rolls, which Is the bugaboo most consistently conjured up by the New York Build- ing Trades Employers’ Association, has probably not had the effect imagined. W. P. A. Administrator Harry Hop- kins claims there are few eligibles on his rolls: that most building trades- men in W. P. A. would be considered too old by private capital.” "FThe Forum points out that a com- mittee of the New York Building Trades Employers’ Association, after exploring the problem exhaustively, “concluded that there could be no shortage until 1938, and then only if the situation were abetted by a rise in contracts awarded during 1937 and 1938 greater than most prophets would be inclined to forecast.” Broadly speaking, however, the em- REAL ESTATE. ployer says a building shortage will , develop, while the employe says it will HOME OWNERSHIP WITH IN THESE : g THE EVENING B’.l'ARZ WASHINGTON!

The material men, the Forum points out, “were the first to see how a shortage of labor might well raise the cost of building to the point where pre-fabrication wquld get a big push. They promptly started training and educating young men in the crafts, so that they might do their parts in keeping wages down. A building sup- ply dealer in a S8outhwestern State has encouraged nine young men in his town to take up carpentry. In Minnee sota and Iowa several manufacturers are urging young men to go to Minne- apolis Dunwoody Institute. One manufacturer is putting 10 boys through school, others are helping with tuition.” “For a time,” the Forum says, “the unions were inclined to insist that, with prosperity in building, those who had drifted to other occupations would come back, that this would end for- ever the danger of a shortage. Now the argument of the material men, that even if they do come back they will not be nearly so efficient, is be- ginning to prevail.” A NEW MICHIGAN Convention (Continued From First Page.) g00d and bad small home designs.
