Mrs. Harris had the same idea about

BRICK FAMINE
PUTS "CRIMP" In
BUILDING HERE
Factories Can't Keep Up With
Demand; Refuse Orders for

"TOO MUCH PROSPERITY"
DEALERS EXPLANATION
Price of Product Increased by
Boost in Crude Oil Used as
Fuel by Manufacturers

Many building operations in Detroit
are being held up by brick famine
which has hampered contractors since
early spring. Brick factories have
their entire output placed for two or
three months ahead, and are refusing
orders for immediate delivery.
Too mucn prosperity, too much
building" is the explanation for the
shortage given by John A. Mercier,
president OF the Lonyo Brick Co. The
orders swamped us. We are building
an addition to our plant TO catch up
with the demand.
THE report that brick is scarce be-
cause the Standard OH Co. is refusing
to supply oil to the brick factories il
untrue. The company raised the price
of crude oil, but the brickmakers
saw the increase and have had no
trouble getting Oil"
Oil Is used by many brick manufac.
turers instead of coal in burning tho

Mt. Clemens on which h els using Mt

Washington, Feb. S.-CompulSory

the block signal system is the most
important Recommendation of the
block signal and train control board
made today in its final report to the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
"The development of the automatic
train STOP" says the report, "has pro-
ceeded far enough to warrant the ex-
pectation that by its use greater safety
can be secured in the operation of
trains. Railroads should be given to
understand that the automatic train
stop must be developed by them as
rapidly as possible"
The board recommends that rail-

laws against trespassing be enforced.

cooperation Of the state and federal
governments on the one hand and

bring about more stable conditions

LEFT PENSACOLA
ABOUT IA YEARS AGO
Although Sixty-Two Years
of Age at the Outbreak of
the Spanish American
War, He Enlisted and
Served Throughout the
Conflict as a Major Pay
master, and Afterwards
Resided in Havana.

News reached Pensacola last night
of the sudden death in Havana, Cuba,
this week of Col. S. S. Harvey, former
mayor of Pensacola, and widely known
throughout this section, where he lived
for over a quarter of q century. At
the time of bis death he owned some
property in this city. For the past
fourteen years Col. Harvey has re-
sided in Havana, where he located
Immediately after the Spanish Amer
lean war, through which he served as
a major -paymaster, although 62 years
of age at the outbreak cf the war.
The death of Col. Harvey was sud-
den and a great shock to his friends
in Havana. He had reached the age
of rs years, and had been active up
to within a few hours of death. OF
his death the Havana Post says:
Col. S. S. Harvey died suddenly at
his residence, Havana IL, in this city.
at about 10 o'clock last night. Although
he had been about the city in the
afternoon, he was not feeling well
after eating dinner last night, and his
son, Frank Harvey, called in a physi-
clan, who left a prescription. Before
the prescription could be filled the
colonel passed away.
"Col Harvey was a veteran of two
wars, the civil and Spanish American.
He was born in Springfield. Ill, sew
enty-six years ago, but his family later
came south. In the civil war he took
up the side of the southern Confed-
eracy and attained the rank of colonel.
A SOLDIER AT 81.
"Col. Harvey was 81 years old when
the Spanish American war broke out,
but his spirit was just as young as it
was when he answered the call to
arms in his younger days. He wanted
to fight for the flag which he had
fought in the civil war. Finding that
impossible on account of his age, he
took n place in the paymaSter's de-
partment, and went to the front as Il
major paymaster.
"The colonel has been actively iden-
titled with affairs in Havana during
the last fourteen years. He has al
ways been greatly interested in the
agricultural development of the island
and has done no little to help along
such lines. An expert of citrus fruit
culture, he was largely instrumental
through articles in the press in Undue
ing many persons to plant oranges and
grapefruit groves and it was consider
able satisfaction to him to live to see
the wisdom of his advice.
"Col. Harvey leaves a widow and
five children. The children are Frank,
Louie, Ed, Arthur, Bert and one young
daughter, Mary Straton."
