The remote savase who hoisted the first sail had more to do with the dts- covery of America than Christopher | Columbus and the compass put to- |gether, with Queen Isabella and her jfapied jewels thrown into the bar- | sain for measure. This first navigator had more to do with the determination of the pobtinal divie | sions of the world as we know it than all the conquerors in history, inolud= ing the makers of the Treaty of Ver= sailles, put together, The youngster of to-day who, as- tride of a log, pushes himself across good ised Hi He C6 hungry.

When he left it two-thirds done the city % had paid him $348,000, besides being liable for RENTS WITH THE REST. IGH RENTS are still one of the big factors $180,000 more on liens placed on the building by in high prices, Secretary Hoover said this down with a sharp stone used as an axe by some industrious and ingente ous member of our original ancestry. On the work of this inventor some succeeding inventor improved by digging some of the fibre out of one side of tis log with a stone. That ed the first approach to a real discovery of fire facilitated the digging-out process. It enabled the early marine architects and naval constructors to do their “digying-out" much faster and with far less labor. The dugout “burms out.” In such a crazy subcontractors who had not been paid. Now the city is bound by a new contract under which it can get the building finished only at a further cost of $663,000. And in this new contract the same Con- tractor Winternitz is admitted to be a half partner. Such, in brief, are the facts of the case as Mr. Untermyer iaid them before the Lockwood Com- mittee. “Under the laws of the trade combinations,” Mr Untermyer pointed out, “the new contractor was forced to go to the old sub-contractor regardless of the new price fixed.” “The city authorities knew Winternitz was interested in the new contract. But not only did the city accept the contract under! these circumstances, but it allowed the most out- Tageous sub-contracts.” Here is indicated a way in which trade tyranny, contractors’ greed and laxity, or worse, on the part of city officials can readily combine to make tax- payers pay the cost of a building twice over. The uncompleted Cumberland Street Hospital structure is described as uninclosed, windowless and rapidly going to pieces, with no sign when the job week. Landlords should ponder this. It is no time for nursing plans to keep rents moving upward as much as the law will allow. Workers who are told their wages must come down cannot be expected to see why if they are being pressed by landlords whose rents are tending the other way. Tenants are more than ever entitled to fairness and justice. Of all necessary expenses, rent weighs heaviest on the average family. If wages and prices are to stabilize on lower levels, rents must not take the opposite turn. thus became a craft the original made his first venture on the deep, or the neur-deep.
