Twelve Central States Show a Building Deficiency of
A Billion and a Half Dollars-They Are Filling the Gap

A TTENTION Of those Albuquerque people who
"A are considering building operations this year
Is directed 60 an article ON the building page
OF today = Herald, authorized by the United States
Department of Labor, giving statistics a. 10 the
building deficiency IN twelve Of the great north.
central states. The states covered BY the Depart.
ments survey reviewed In this statement, are Ohio.
Indiana. Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin. Minnesota.
Iowa. Missouri Nebraska. North aud South Da-
kata and Kansas. The survey shows that there Is
a building deficiency In those states the meeting OF
which win require an estimated expenditure Of one
and one-half billion dollars
The manner Of arriving At this estimate is given
In the ariirle referred 10. Doubtless il IL subject
20 qualifications and u not wholly accurate but as
stating u general siteaiiDn aud a necessity, the
statement will he accepted without question.
The weekly statements being issued by the DE
partment Of Labor upon the revival of lhlilding
are based upon building permits issued and are
absolutely accurate. They prove beyond u doubt
that the states wherein building has been almost
wholly suspended during the war are preparing 10
make up the deficiency in the immediate futurc.
This means n period u probably unprecrdented
building activity.
II one-haif Of the estimated building deficiency in
these twelve states Is met by immediate or early
building operations, there will almost certainly be
shortage Of building supply stocks, quite without
regard 10 foreign demand. Should large foreign
demand be added 10 home calls the shortage. AL
ready felt IN many supply lines. will become
serious.
The conclusion i obvious that there will be no
material reduction In building costs in the United
States this year, and probably no great reduction
Tor several years 10 come. II II idle 10 DELAY q

surance OF profit. in the hope Of lower initial cost.
Delay Of that kind means loss Of time and loss of
income. In the long run the warning Of a leading
building authority, heretofore quoted In these col.
umns that We. bevare the high cost of delay, p, will
come home 10 those who hold back.
The Evening Herald has made a straightforward
and vigorous campaign 10 encourage building in

HISTORICAL DRIVE

June is HISTORICAL MONTH
in Kentucky. Every county in
the State is now engaged in lnak-
ing a permanent record of the part
it played in the World War.
The records of the soldiers are
being made on WAR RECORD
SHEETS. The records of the civil
lians are being made in the form
of reports of the work done by the
County Council OF Defense, Red
Cross Chapters, Liberty Loan Cam
paign Committees, Women's Clubs
and other organizations which toon
a part in winning the war
When these records are complet-
ed they will be bound in permanent
form and placed in the archives Of
the county.
The Kentucky Council of De-
Tense inaugurated this work in
September, 1918, by appointing
State and County Historians. These
historians are engaged in the la
borious task of compiling complete
lists of the men who have lost their
lives, those who have been wound
ed and those who have won spe-
cial honors. They are also max
ng a complete roster of all men in
the service. A special effort is be-
ing made to get a complete list of
the volunteers, and those who have
been for a long time in the regular
army. The Historian for this
county is Miss Lettie Marks, Hart
ford, KY, she needs your help.
Every person who has a relative
in the service should make it a per-
sonal duty to see that War
Record blank is filed for such per-
son and handed to the County His
torian. These blanks may be oS-
tanned from the County Historian.

KILLING OF GIRL
Is YET MYSTERY

Indianapolis, Ind.-With the
failure of John Gulley, soldier lover
of murdered Minnie Maye Wilkins,
to appear and deny the assertion
that he was the girls slayer, police
to-day were as far as ever from
solution of the mysterious killing.
George Kessler is still held as
suspect, but the police are refrain
ing from pushing charges against
him since he stoutly declared that
Gulley, his comrade In the 10th
United States Infantry. was guilty
Of the crime. Gulley has not pul
in his appearance to refute the
charges and unless he appears po-
lice admit there will be a loophole
in the web OF circumstantiar evi,
dence they have been weaving
around Kessler.

SALOONS TO BE
PUT TO NEW USE

Saloons, which go out Of bust
ness in the United States on the
night of June 30, will be put to a
new use by the Salvation Army.
II hasn't the money to do that and
many of the present owners will
continue their establishments as
soft drink emporiums, but as many
OF the barrooms as possible will be
brought under the control of the ar
my of which Commander Evange-
line Booth is the head. The Terri
tory covered by this new move of
the Salvation Army will extend
from ocean to ocean and from Cana
d. to Mexico.
There will be a white-jacketed
barkeeper, as now, and the counter
across from the mahogany will be-
come a self-service restaurant in
stead of a free lunch" counter.
Only soft drinks will be dispensed.
Commander Booth in an inter-
view said
"The Salvation Army has, within
the last few weeks, demonstrated
the psychology of the brass rail.
There is something about the shin
ing bar which brings all men to a
common footing. The easy and re-
Taxed attitude of those who lean
against the mahogany or cherry sug
gests comfort Because wine and
beer are to go, shall not a man take
his ease in his own inn?
Therefore, at our newly-opened
hotel in West Forty-seventh street
we have kept the bar and brass rail
and tn bartender back of them. AL
though soft drinks are served in
stead of hard ones, this barroom of
the new era glows with good cheer.
There are many bartenders of gen
ial personality and good character
who could Just as we'll remain be-
hind the soft drink bar as not"
The Kentucky campaign for
funds for the Home service work of
the Salvation Army will close on
the day the saloon business oes out
of existence in America. 1t begins
