Ion that the building situation Is improv-
Ing. Other builders and architects
agree that the situation looks brighter
than II has for sone time past. They
point out that in the near future mate
rails that were out OF the market will
be procurable and that the public's edu-
cation in the matter of bonds. which was
brought about by the various loan drives,
will make II easier for building projects
to be financed by bond issues.
throughout the country there are
signs that building IL becoming more ac-
tive. The recent agreement reached BY

Trades Association and the union In re-
gard to the New York building trades
dispute was arrived at after a confer
ence In Washington called by tho Seere-
taries OF War and Labor and held In the

suited In $4,000 men being ordered back

that the men should allow their griev.

Beyond question the building situa-

ing departments of the various cities

tions.
Country and suburban towns will
probably feel the stimulus sooner and 10
a greater extent than will the big cities.
This is due to the fact that the housing

you probably know Papas birthday is

he thought the birthday cake you
used to make for him out Of black
walnuts was the best stuff in the
world. OF course Issuppose there is
other things in 1t beside black wal
nuts but you know more about that
sort of thing than | do. I'm sending
you all the money got, the rest is
all in my owl bank and l can't get it
out. But this ought to get the
sugar and whatever else ought to 60

do with giving 1t to him. / wish l
was there to pick out the nuts, but
mebbe grandpa will. Well it's getting
late and Papa will be asking me in a

goodbye with lots of love. PETER.

And they all agreed that 1t was the

subject had been wished upon me by
a large number of my friends. Look

Toes.


Last winter / wrote some very nice
things about some speakers in the city
whom 1 CHANGED to hear. Six of the
persons present at that meeting called
either myself or some of my friends
to let me know how much they appre-
ciated what had said about them.
And the worst of it all was that
hadn't been referring to any ofNthe
six. This morning three ladies called
me by phone to find out what l meant
by criticising the singing which took
place Saturday night near my house.
They were very much offended. In
deed l might say-judging from their
voices-they were very nearly heart
broken. Before noon at least half
dozen gatherings took my criticism to
heart-all because they sang somI-
where within a radius of my hoAe.
How was l to know that the type
setter wouldn't get that story together
in time to go in the paper Friday night
as was intended-and that on Satur-
day night these singing bees would
hold session! And besides couldn't
say who sang so stupendously awfully
