Following a reaction that had been proceeded by an advance covering four months, during which time thJ averages reached the highest level In tlve years, iucluding the Inflated year of 1919, It ia extremely dlfllcuit to determine whether stocks are being accumulated during a dull period. A great many changes have oo-eurred within a few years la the old order of things, therefor making It necessary for people to adopt new rules upon which to base calculations. Not a few persons think that the stock market has come under that heading and what held good once Is now obsolete, i'ersonally, are in no haste to follow such new theories, preferring to await couvino-ing demonstrations. The general market is only a little above the extreme lows touched on the present reactionary movement. Therefore, it would cause us bdv surprise if it had a mild rise.

On that date so the specie dedicatury exerciser to: the neve edifice to be known at Weir Hail will be held. Plane-are being formulated by Dean. Everett V. Meeke. of the Yale Art School, for the program in connection with the opening of the new department which uiil about 100 atudenta.

The "Mllier property" which has lor been a myereriuue aite about the umvereii) ground! hae been converted Into the Weir Hail of Architecture thie summer. The use of thia new building will mean greater expansion of the School of Fine Arte will piece the architecture In a pre-eminent place of the curriculum. In commenting on the new project lust Dean Meeka said, aa the building la, facing IU own quadiangie within the middle of the block, conditions of privacy, reasonable comfort and adequate equipment are offered that are practically ideal for the Intensive work In design that architectural students are forced to perform, "The architecture of the new build-Ins ia of excellent Gothic design. When completed and the court properly planted, this new development promises to be one of the most pis-turesque spots In the university." A mystery for more than a. decade to all except Us donor, the imposing structure, never fully completed, will now be the center of the architecture department.

In recent years the building has been hidden from public gaze. In the rear of the Skull and Bones farternity tomb on High street. According to an announcement at the Art school 'last night, what was formerly known as the Miller property was constructed out of private merce Index, is 13 per cent, lower than In July of 1923. A revival of Industrial consumption la indicated, however, by the increasing operations at the steel mills the great barometer of business I'lttabiirgh and Youngstown plants now producing at 75 to 80 per cent, of capacity, while new orders are causing a steady expansion. This demand for teel com-s largely from the railroad and aulo-mohile makers, arid promises an earH enlargement of their lumber purchases lepH the lull In genera manufacturing, during the six week ended the middle of August, there was.

In total orders for lumber, an Increase over the same period a yea." ago of 29 percent in 1307. The site Is located close to the main buildings of the art school. Tho building was three-fourths completed when the university took it over and up to that time had remained untouched. A gift from a member of the class of 1897. made the improvements and completion possible.

The building Is named in his honor. Mr. Miller started construction cn the building in 1912. It was his original plan to construct a superb edifice which would be one of the hest dormitories in the country. It is believed that Mr.

Miller embarked on this stupendous task without taking into account the exact amount cf money which would be Involved, and when he found that the funds which he had appropriated for the project were insufficient, he abandoned it. Additional equipment said to be the best available la being brought here to be Installed In the new building. New instructors are also being selected. Several noted scholars of architecture will attend the opening exercises of the school and an elaborate program is being planned Or the occasion. i partly offset because of cxtri disbursements by other companies, but it emphasized beyond the faintest doubt, the spottiness In the vuiiouh lines.

Evidence that a visible ching for the better Is under way has been already submitted through the increase in the Steel Corporation's uufiilvd orders, slight Arming of copper prices, working off of surplus automobiles. Increased car loadings and continued high prices for farnf products. The oil industry, however. Is still In bad shape despite strenuous efforts toward stabilization. The stare of affairs in thut Industry are best described in a single sentenea by the president of a large Cal.foi'nia oil company.

wh6 said. "The trouble with the oil industry is simply too much oil, and when it will be overcome, 1 do not. nor does any one else know" Marketwlse, the political outlook la favorable. Cheap money Is also a potent constructive fattjr, ordinarily helping to maintain eqawibiurn In prices. Just how far easy money rates n-fljenced the market's rise up to Au-Rust 20.

The flow of water at the faucet is not dependent upon the size of the heater, nor the amount of ga3 burned per minute, as is the case with automatic instantaneous water heaters. With the Kompak Heater the water Hows at full city pressure at every hot water faucet. The only difference in the various sizes of Kompak heaters is in the storage reservoir cr boiler, the capacity in gallons being indicated by the number of the heater. The gas consumption is small, and waste is eliminated, due to the fact that the main burners are not lighted every time a faucet ia opened for a small amount of water. h1 I I aft ZM tP mi J-'j'.

Years of experience has demonstrated that copper and brass are the only suitable materials for this purpose, as they will last for generations and muddy or rusty water is completely eliminated. The hot water service at the faucet is practically instantaneous, as the water always kept hot right tip to the outlet of the heater, so that it is only necessary to empty the water between the heater and the faucet for steaming hot water to arrive. With the Kompak automatic storage water heater it is not necessary to empty 100 or more feet of coil, and wait for the temperature to build tip by reducing the stream of water.
