Allentown boys in action Wednesday
night at Steelton. Frank Bear. an
other promoter from Allentown. is
sending several of his best boxers
to the second Barrett show ut the

interest because of the records of
the fighters in the lineup. Interest
is not all centered in the ten-round
announcement.
Billy Atticks, who has scored
three knockouts in as many battles,
will meet a real antagonist in Hack
Cleaver, of Allentown. Cleaver has
a knockout record himself and the
Harrisburg boy will have to go
some. Atticks is losing no oppor-
tunity to get into shape. Manager
Bear is is of the opinion that Cleav-
er will be an easy winner. In fact
the Allentown leader is of the opin-
ion that all of his boys will win
honors.
Another Good Bout
Young Fulton. another cracker

stables will meet kid" Richmond,
of Baltimore. The latter is the box

FRANK T. MILLER's VIEWS.
Consumption of Basic Materials
Should Be Begun Immediately.

That. consumption of basic mate
rails greater than of pre-war days
should be Immediately begun both by
private builders and government
agencies is the view taken by Frank
4. Miller. chairman of the division Of
public works and construction de-
velop,neht OF the Department of La
Dor. Consumption of practically
every basic material Is away down,
M. Miller says.
THE great question is one of con-
sumption. IF we do not buy we can
not exist and do business
'Tf we had the four million i'm
mi grants that this country would
have received if the war had not COM
menced, if We had our two million
soldiers home again. and If we were
all working steadily in the pursuits
of peace prices might again be what
they used to be.
But with conditions such SIS they
are we must face the issue squarely
and Immediately begin construction
of those projects deferred by the
more essential needs of the war.

Difficulties in Borrowing.

ut is yet impossible to borrow more
to finance present buildings than
could be done two or three years ago,
and this condition confronting the
builder makes it much more difficult
for him to operate, for the reason that
he is compelled to raise solely out of
his own resources the large increase
in the cost of his building. For in
stance, il ! constructed a building
in 1916 at a cost of 100000 / could
building loan, leaving only $4,000 OF
my own funds to invest, but under
the present condition the same build
ing would cost me $4,000 to pro-
duce, yet / can realize only the same
loan of $4,000, and in consequence
must raise $4,000 additional out OF
my own resources with little hope of
receiving any Increased revenue or a
better price than for the building
erected in 1915. And as a matter of
fact, is a building constructed now
worth 10 the owner 80 per cent more
than IL constructed two years ago."
Mr. WardIaan said he is OF the
opinion that the entire question is
that of sterilization of prices. Ii
the scale of wages continues to be
Highland he feels sure 1t will. and
even higher-and the price of me-
teriai is correspondingly high. then
new buildings are worth what they
cost to produce. and not what they
would have cost two years ago.
He said the people must be edu-
Gated to this principle, but, firstly
and more important, the institutions
that finance buildings with mortgages.
to lend on new buildings in proper
ton to their present cost, then the
question IS solved-the reason to de-
fer building is eliminated and the
industry can be made successful, both
for the public and the builder.
He said high scale of wages and
prices would, in his opinion, make
little difference in the conduct of any
business - the public is properly edu-
Gated to the fact that doubling of the
wages is in sense tantamount to
doubling the population.
Summing up. it would seem, there
! fore, that TO properly stimulate all
classes of industry every effort
should be made to convince the pub
lie that prices must remain as they
are. and thereby overcome the pres
ent desire TO wait for reductions. as
only disappointment will result. The
success of the Industries will follow
as a matter of course because OF the
known demand.

the matter, I am at this time making

Can't Go Back to Pre-War Prices.

SO different indeed as to make il
questionable whether or not il would
be better for the builder himself or
even the public at large to defer this
class OF construction work until some
Sterilization of prices becomes more
OF a certainty. l do not mean to infer
that in my opinion the production of
housing facilities on speculative
basis should be entirely deferred I'M

receded to the pre-war scale Gas ]
firmly believe that such u scale of
prices win not again prevaiD. But UNI
til the people at large are properly
educated and convinced of the fact
that the scale of prices cannot go back
to what the average person now con-
siderS normal, namely, the pre-waT
schedule, it is unreasonable to expect
an operator to produce buildings at a
cost which precludes a reasonable re-
turn based upon what the building
will sell for.
The fact that we are a year or two
behind in our building does not of
itself tend to create such a demand
as to make it certain that the builder
can realize so per cent more for
new building than for a similar build
ing constructed prior to the war.
either from the standpoint of rental
income or the selling price of the

URGES RESUMPTION 1
T OF BUILDING PLANS

Waiting for Return of

The early resumption of building
programs will be a large factor in the
continuance of business prosperity
and consequently provide for the EN-
ployment of our returning soldiers
and also those released from the in
dustries of war, Harry Wardman. a
prominent builder OF Washington,
pointed out today.
Mr.. Wardman said it is wise for the
philosophical individual and official
to advocate at present q strenuous
building program. But first" he said,
to promote the industry L think that
the need for municipal and public i'm
proyements in almost every section
OF the country would certainly fulfil
an urgent requirement and should
De generally proceeded with at once.
There is little excuse to defer this
ctaSS OF work, for the reason that
the cost of such Improvement is
oCrne by the taxpayers who are indi
Tidually and collectively benefited
and any increased cost is not
noriceabIy felt
He said that looking at the promo
ton OF the industry from the view
point of the so-calied speculative
builder" whose business is similar to
that OF the manufacturer of commodi-
ties, the situation presents a phase
that is vastly different from any under
pre-war conditions
