STATE BUILDING AND BUSINESS.

\ sharp recession in the volume of real estate transactions is shown by the figures giving t-~- number Of sales and amount of mortgage loans m the Connecticut towns reported ill The Commercial Record for the past week. The 329 sales for the week compare with 425 in the same towns q year ago, with mortgage loans of $64S, ,349, against $n9,616 last year.
 Seven new interpretations are re- ported for the week, with authorized capital of $2t2.OOG, These figures compare favorably with the record for the corresponding week of 1914, 1915 and 1917, but is far below that of 1916, when 13 new companies were formed, with more than six millions capital
 Building permits continue to be is sued in the larger cities, subject to
 the approval of the war board, but
 most of them are for very small pro- jects. The aggregate cost of buildings for which permits have been granted turing the week is large owing to the fact that permits were taken out in Waterbury and New London for a number of houses to be erected by the
 government Aside from these scarce ly any new work is being undertaken. Some architects have reported that clients are taking advantage of the present situation to have plans drawn 1or buildings which they expect 10 erect at the conclusion of the war. This idea is obviously a wise one, as | the architects have plenty of time just
 tt present to work out plans in fullest detail, which will be impossible as soon as the reconstruction period be-
 gins, which is bound to take piace as soon as the governments building pro- 1 9ramme is completed.

Letters I have received from former Camp Upton boys who are now at the front are the best proof of the value of systematic physical training. One in particular, from one of our old artillery boys, says that the work by the ~ the K. of C., ad the Jewish Welfare Board, athletic and otherwise, keeps the soldiers time occupied so pleasant ly that home sickness is banished and the morale of the army is ex- cellent. They don't have time to nope.
 Every phase of the work is so appealing in this great crisis that wish it were possible to reach every big man in the country and place him as a worker in the camps here ad overseas. They would be help ing themselves as well as the boys. Unless a man is the right sort he doesn't get very far with the man in the ranks.

Army Athletics of Supreme Importance

themselves and the whole hearted support of the regimental officers who appreciate the efforts of the "" the K. of C., the Jewish Well fare Board, the War Camp Commu- nity Service and kindred organiza- tions which are working together in the United War Work Campaign for $170,50O,00 to enable them to continue their activities. Every American should contribute to this Ifund.
 The games taught by the phys ical directors provided by these or ganizations in which nearly every man is able to participate, form the groundwork of a training which increases their confidence and de- velops the instinct to act quickly under trying conditions. A good boxer, a good wrestler, a good base ball player, a good runner, a man who is proficient in any line of athletics, makes a better soldier than the man who is content to 1 watch others compete. The spirit of competition is great enliven- ing force.

 New York's soldier boys who went to Camp Upton are going to be bet ter men after the war, because of the physical training received there. It has been wonderful to watch them de- velop: to see the pale office worker become the bronzed fighting man-the fellow with a punch
 To work with the army officers in getting our men in the proper physical condition for the great task before them is only one of many things that has to be done, but it is of supreme importance. Therefore it was with a great deal of pride that I found myself se- lected to represent the Y. M. c. A. in this particular work. If any successes has attended my individ- ual efforts. it has been due mainly to the ready response. of the boys
