shown In provisions made for shelter.
When 1t came to building the great
depots required at each Of the camps
they ordered open sheds instead of
barns-or for the severe northern eli
mate, sheds closed on one side. TO
the city-bred humanitarian who saw
thousands of Uncle Sans horses and
mules standing out In the cold, this
seemed cruel, and complaint was en-
tered. But by practical test 1t was
shown that the horsemen were right.
Those animals which were housed up
did not thrive as well as the ones
which were kept In the open. When
talking with the head Of the remount

and education service of the department OF labor,
through the division Of public works and con-
struction development now is seeking authorita-
tive information as to what can be expected in
material prices for the next five years. While
the investigation lacks completeness at this
time, no definite conclusions may be stated.
Many eminent building and material authorities,
however, insist that no marked decrease in ma
terial prices may be expected for the next five
years. They assert with some positiveness that
pre-war prices on building materials will not be
re-estabshed for several years, if ever. They
assert that persons who delay building in the
hope of marked reductions Of building costs,
probably will be disappointed and will have de-
MED themselves the use of needed property and
the revenue which would be derived therefrom.
The department. reaches the following conclu-
sion as result of it's Investigation: ''The De-
partment of Labor points out that building, be-
ing basic industry, will stimulate general bust
ness and is, therefore, very vital to continued
financial prosperity. The national economic loss
resulting from the idleness of men, cannot be
permitted and its injurious effects escaped.
Present building costs are not so high that they
equal in the aggregate the wealth the country
loses through the idleness following in the wake
Of building stagnation. Homes needed bust
ness quarters are needed, public works need
ed. The United States is the wealthiest country
in the world"
An opinion sent out from Greenville, Ohio, in
this connection will be of interest. It says: 1--WE
have no complaint to make in the matter of Sc
curing credits, building materials and labor. It
is true that wages are quite high and yet not
prohibitive. The greatest detriment to our in
dustry through the Central West is prohibitive
freight rates sand and gravel. It is not only
threatening to destroy our industry but at the
same time it is impeding highway construction
and other building projects which demand high
grade of these basic materials"
The railroad administration has issued a cir
cular denying that there is any truth in the re-
port that it "has given or is giving any consid-
Grafton to many increases in present bases or
rates."
