President Wilson left on his big
speech making tour on the night Of
September 3, and will cover the en-
tire country in the interest of his
league of nations.

President Wilson says 1t is appar-
ent that the cost of living has reached
the peak, but, in spite of the situa-
ton we are facing, merchants every
where are out advertising about high
prices and telling the public that
prices will go higher. There is abso-
lutely no basis for such advertising,
the federal authorities say, and rigid
prosecution will be enforced. The
people are frankly told not to be STAN
peded by tricksters in the mercantile
business, into purchasing things they
do not need. The people have the vic
tory in their own hands, says the pres
ident.

My brother, while en- route to Camp
Pike, Ark, exchanged addresses with a

BUILDING BOOM is ON.

Reports from the principal bust
ness centers of the country show that
the resumption of building operations
on an extensive scale has begun, and
there is reason to believe that the
present month may be the best June
in5the history of the country in point
of building contracts let.
THE improved conditions in the
building industry" says S. W. Strauss
& Co., ARE based quite largely on
the realization by all interests that
construction prices, instead of reced-
ing, will go higher. 1t has become
in this country are more likely to ad-
vance than to be modified, and this
is the deciding factor, for the reason
that about 40 per cent of the cost of
a building is for labor employed in
erection work and 35 per cent is for
labor in the manufacture of materials.
Labor employed in construction work
advanced 2sh per cent during the
period of 1914-1918, while the cost
Of living went up 65 per cent, and in
New York it advanced 73 per cent. 1t
may be assumed, therefore, that con-
struction costs will go higher than
present levels with the added pressure
Of ensuing abnormal demands"
The cost of commodities entering
into building construction are low,
compared with the cost of all other
commodities, and, with general prices
continually working toward higher
levels, it is futile for any building in
terests to expect more favorable terms
at later date.
While construction activities are
now gaining Roadway rapidly with
every indication of reaching I'M
precedented proportions as the sum-
mer advances. there is no likelihood
that anything approaching normal
housing conditions will be attained.
The situation has been growing
steadily worse for two years. There is
building deficit amounting to more
than $1,000. 900, 900 which includes a
million homes. Neither the physical
equipment of builders nor the supply
of unskilied labor is sufficient to make
1t possible to reach a condition of
normality before the expiration of a
number of years. However, present
activities will tend to stabilize general
conditions.

THE PROMOTERS WIFE
BAB is HEARTBROKEN BECAUSE
NEIL HAS BEEN DRINKING.
CHAPTER LxXXVu.


All my time was spent with Mrs.
Carter. but I soon dismissed any idea
1 might have had of giving any sort
of large affairs for her. l contented
myself with two or three small din
ners, and by taking her to the theater
and driving. Neil was at home very
little, scarcely more often than before
she came. l could see that it was at
times an effort for him to concentrate
his mind upon what either of us were
saying. and 1 worried accordingly.
l begged him to tell me what he
was doing that he could not be more
at home, could not give his aunt the
attention it seemed his respect for
her demanded. He only shrugged,
and asked me not to annoy him.
81 have all I can take care of with
out listening to your reproaches. he
said. II am putting over,-trying to
rather.-a big deal. 1 can't be wor-
ried about aunt having a good time.
You surely should be able to enter
tain her; her ideas are very simple
1T isn't that. Neil. She is your aunt,
know. But 1 am fond of her, and
imagine she feels hurt because you
aren't with us more"
"Nonsensei-if you want to bring
her down town to the Lawyers club
for luncheon tomorrow you may.
Then you can plan for a matinee or
something afterward."
THAT will be nice. 1 am sure she
will be pleased to lunch there. I
know I always am. We will take Rob-
ert for a drive in the park first. She
simply refuses to be separated from
him and he from her. She told me
yesterday that she never thought she
could become SO fond of child as
she has of him.
Hes a great kid"
You don't half know how cunning
he is. you see so little of him. He
is way ahead of his classes; his
teacher told me last week she had to
hold him back, that he was almost
too bright for his age. He speaks
French wonderfully well, his accent
is much better than mine. 1 wish
mother had made me learn languages
when I was his age instead of waiting
until I was almost young lady"

HAwKER AND GRIEvE.

They were intrepid chaps-those
boys who smiled and waved their
hands and shot out into the open sea
toward a goal two thousand miles dis
tant-never before attempted in like
manner
But of such stuff was Columbus
madei And of such stuff may Britain,
as well as all the world, rightly be
proud.
Their goal was something definite
but the path to it was all uncertainty.
Into their machines, however, they
climbed. taking thier sandwiches and
their HEARTS-with them,
As all the world now knows. Haw-
ker and Grieve did not reach their
goal Their daring, nevertheless. has
already stamped its grade into the
annals of History. Its example will
be a living inspiration to those who
will surely follow. Thus does the deed
of these brave chaps line with that of
Scott and that innumerable army of
attempters who taught others the
way.

BUSINESS MOVING FORWARD.

In a review of the business situation
of the country, Henry Clews finds that
there has been more Improvement
than is generally appreciated. The
volume of business is not only increas-
ing, but the widespread revival of con-
fidence is even more noticeable. This
is illustrated by an extraordinary in
crease in the number and size of new
interpretations; the total reported for
May being 900, with a capitalization
of nearly $75O,O0O, 900. This is the
largest total on record. except when
the United States Steel corporation
was created in February, 1901. 1t was
also $233, 000.0 600 larger than the total
for April. The principal increases
were in oil, gas, coal, export. shipping
and chemical concerns.
Apart from these features, he says
the returns indicate a remarkable re-
covery of enterprise. Advices from
the interior report more activity IN
for housing and office accommodation
The steel trade is in an optimistic
frame of mind. confidently expecting
an influx of orders before long.
1t is recognized that good harvests
are certain to create great prosperity
thruout the agricultural districts, es-
pecially in the great wheat and cot
ton belts.
The foreign exchange situation, it is
pointed out, continues to excite much
interest owing to the abnormal dis
parity between exports and imports
The necessities of Europe are extreme,
particularly in respect to food.
Meanwhile Europe has neither goods
nor gold with which to pay. and enor-
nous foreign debts to the United
States are piling up in consequence
The gold import movement has been
renewed, Great Britain having shipped
about $12,OOO,O0O via Canada, with
more to come.
He sees a possibility that further
amounts of foreign owned securities
may come upon this market, tho for
obvious reasons nothing very impor-
tant in this direction is anticipated.
Some idea of the great disparity be-
tween the exports and imports with
European countries is shown in the
following figures: During the first
ten months of the fiscal year our ex-
ports to Italy have been SAT-, 100000,
our imports $16.OOO.oOO. To France
our exports were sSO5. 900. 900. our i'm
ports $45,000,0OO. To Belgium our
EXPORTS have been $3.50, 900, our
imports only a. little over 100000. To
! Great Britain our exports have been
s1.67S, 100000. our imports S123,ooo,-
900.
