ots While the reports frnm Wilmington
in the past six days, Indicate that about
half Of the quota asked has been enrolled,
the down State counties have not been

Workers have found that in addition
to the many loyal patriotic men and wo-

who while in comfortable circumstances,
are opposed To their daughters signing M

young woman sought tho consent Of her
parents but WIS refused. Being Of age, shc
announced that she waa going To enlist

The patriotic spirit and zpzJ IL not lark-

NOT MEETING BUILDING NEEDS.
Operations Continue TO Decrease All
Over Country.

Building permits issued In the principal
critics during june totalled less than
for MAY and also less than for June
last wear The official figures of IA
cities as received by the American Con-
tractor aggregate for June $45, ,345 ,543
as compared with $50. AZ, ,022 for May
and with So, AZ .0l5 for June, 1917. The
decrease as compare with year previ-
Gus was, however, only p per cent, the
smallest decrease since last September
Losses have now been continuous since
February. 1917 This Is not surprising
considering the high costs of cOnstruc-
tion and the discouragement Of all kinds
of unnecessary building by the govern
ment. In many cities necessary con-
struction is very backward. The Bureau
OF Industrial Housing at Washington Is
being import uned for much greater aid
in supplying houses for workmen than 1t
can extend with IT'S present appropriations.
Projects from fifty cities have been
approved by the housing bureau at
total estimated cost of $lS9, ,295 900,
nearly twice the funds available, and
many other housing projects are now
under consideration. The problem now
is TO induce private capital 20 construct
in many cities the dwellings and other
forms of necessary construction which
the government cannot supply.
The statistics above do not include
government construction work, which Is
now vast With unnecessary work al
most wholly eliminated, the figures midi
cate with a fair degree of accuracy the
volume Of urgent and essential building
that is now in progress This consists
mainly of factory and residence con
struction, though schools and other
forms of buildings are considered by some
communities as necessary The absence
Of large structures is Indicated by the
relatively slight decrease in the total
number Of permits issued namely,
21,l13, as compared with 23,734 for
June, 1917 The average size of the per
Inlts for June is about 81 200, compared
with 81 $40 for June, 1917. An unusually
large percentage Of the permits, ISSUED
last month were for repairs and exten-
sions Of the IA cities reporting fifty
