Several hundred men are said to be out of employment. The Tower Building is designed for busi- use, and represents the work of a group of architects from Shinar. ‘The proj- ect is financed by capitalists from the West, who saw opportunities for developing this place into an important trade center. Aside from the large amount of floor space provided for in the plans, the structure em- bodies many modern improvements and new features, including what is claimed to | be the highest tower in the world, which is xpected to prove of great advertising value and from which the building derives its name. The extensive kilns, which have been erected near the city for the purpose of insur- ing an adequate supply of building mate- rials, as well as aneconomy measure in reduc- ing the freight rates, are also reported idle. Conferences are being held between the capital and labor interests with the view ot arranging a settlement on a compro- mise basis, but both sides maintain a reticence, and neither has made a statement to the press. It is reported that an alien has been seen talking to the men of late, and it is believed that he is a labor agitator well known to the authorities. ness Nature Notes Answers to Last Week's Questions It is because of the hich ch Moles ail 1 remo ¢ answer a supertlous i frequently com together.
