the suspicious opening he had this

"The Danville Fish and Oyster

and, certainly knows how to han
die the business and to treat the

which he sets aside in the beginning
In the future, there must be a closer
and fairer relationship between the
owner and the builder. The builder
must gain the confidence of the
owner, and in turn, the owner owes
certain duties to the builder. Under
the usual building procedure, the
builder is a gambler, too, taking a
job on low competitive bid, and
hoping by some hook or crook to
make money on it. The formation
of the Associated General Contrac-
tors OF America, recently worked a
great step forward in raising the
building industry to a higher level
and it is through movements of this
kind that the investor will feel free
to put his money into building oper-
ations.

Again, the successful supply OF the
front, with ammunition, iood and
water depended as a rule on trans
portation by means OF motor trucks
for which hard roads were an ab-
solute requisite. Several times it
was noted that the apparent cause
for a delay or halt in a victorious
advance was due primarily TO the
sottening OF the roads by the heavy
rain; the lack OF a sufficient num-
Der OF good roads and consequent
traffic jams; or difficult road sec
tons around cratcrs which delayed
supply trains, etc. In fact, the
transport column delayed acted like
an anchor preventing further adj
vance.

The ideals which we wish to de-

those OF courage, truthfulness and

normal child is born brave, physi-
cally and morally, and that out OF
laziness or ignorance the grown
people put fear into his little con-
sciousness. He isn't allowed TO
climb, for instance, because his
mother is afraid he will fall, and his
plastic mind is filled, through stor-
les or threats, or actual punishment,
with a sense OF danger and evil with
which he in his helplessness cannot
cope.
Lying, OF course, comes from the
same source. The child lies be-
cause he is afraid, either OF being
misunderstood or punished. Thor
eau says, at takes two to speak
the truth; one to speak and one to
listen" When the child lies, the
burden of the lie too often rests
upon the grown people who have
him in charge.

Despite the unusual and varied
factors affecting construction work
at this time, indications point to the
greatest building revival during
1910 which this country has ever
experienced. This is true lagely be-
cause certain classes OF structures
must be erected almost at once to
provide for actual demand.
First OF all, in the larger cities,
apartment houses and dwellings will
lead the way, but closely following
will be office buildings, lofts and in
dustrial structures. Then there will
be a tremendous amount of bank
building. All over the country our
financial institutions have been car
rying on their work in their old
homes, in crowded, inadequate quar-
tiers, waiting Tor favorable .ime
to erect new buildings or modern
ize their quarters by remodelling.
Banks have never been more pros
porous, and the bankers seem to feel
that not only will they be meeting an
economic need by building now, but
that their action in this regard will
set a precedent in their communities
and encourage other owners to build
1t is the specified wish of the gov
ernment tl--e in order to provide
employment, construction work be
put under way at the earliest pos
siblc moment.
In the industrial as well as in the
domestic and commercial fields
building should see a large and
healthy increase in volume. New
factories must be built; plant exten-
sionS are an economic necessity, war
plants, instead of being scrapped or
abandoned, will in many instances be
altered for peace work.
Housing for employees which re-
ceived such an impetus during the
past two years, will be carried out
on vaster scale than we had ever
thought possible. Employers have
recognized the actual money-value
return OF providing good housing
accommodations for their employees.
