Figures just compiled show an
enormous monthly consump.ior Of Gig

at Camp Lee, while the sales of soft
drinks and ice cream during the sum-
mer months have been tremendous.
Many days recently the supply Of

long before the close of the day, and
none could be had in camp. The ice
shortage on some days also reduced
sales, for officers would not permit the
drinks to be sold unless they had
been iced. Approximately 10,650,0O0
cigarettes are consumed every month
in the cantonment, and it must be re-
membered that thousands of smokes"
are purchased outside the camr by
men on leave. The daily average is
about $4,000 "tacks.", In addition to
the cigarettes, 1850 pounds of chew

the average individual about not in
terfering with the war program.
The building business, except for
war activities, is practically at a
standstill. What is needed is Build
ing Administrator, who would do for
building what Mr.. Hoover has done
Tor food. No builder, and no owner,
would object to strict regulation.
A Building Administrator would
solve the entire building problem. He.
through his organization, could de-
termine in short order whether a con-
templated building was essential or
rot, whether materials could be spared
for its erection, whether the labor sit
I!ation was favorable. He would he
governed by the facts i'll each indi-
yidual case.
In a recent address at Atlantic City
to the National Federation of Build
ing Industries, Senator Calder, of New
York, said:
"To abandon constructive intent is
to shut off the source of power ard
attempt to run on the momentum IF
previous constructive achievement thus
making Of time an enemy rather thar
an ally. To shut off the wealth pro-
ducing industry of a nation is like
shutting off the motive power of an
airplanc-instcad Of controlled and ac-
CELEBRATED progress it means an :nvol-
untary landing within limited radius.
"No: industry in al! the country is
more wealth-producing than the build
ing industry. It creates wealth; It
makes additional taxable property
from which taxes are more easily co..
lected than from any other source. 1t
increases land values; in fact, it is
the fundamental source of wealth, and
ii any line of endeavor should be en-.
couraged, it seems to me the one in
which you are interested ought to re-
ceive the fullest consideration"
The building business will be the
greatest and most essential business
after the war-not only at home, but
abroad. The men who have spent Z
lifetime in creating organizations fc:
carrying on building cons truction
should certainly not be wiped out now.
Matters should be regulated so that
when the reconstruction period cones
the building industry will be equipped
to adequately handle the big tasks
which will confront it. Theodore
Starrett once said:
Merely as a word-an idea---the
term building is one of the greatest
n our language. Builders are the sue
,essors of the soldiers of old. Wher
this present business of soldering is
lone and peace comes it will be the
builders who will inherit the indomit- 9
bile soldier spirit, and upon them
he constructors-will be centered the
interest the warrior has inspired" ;,
Let's prepare for that time now. :.
Keep the. building industry on its feet. {
md one way to do this will be through
ne appointment of an intelligent
Administrator"
