of all of this hue and cry about high
rents is due to the fact that the renters

OSTRICH EGG SUPPER
IS MUCH ENJOYED.
Rotarians Staged Unique
Affair at East Lake Park
Last Night

Rotarians captured East Lake park last
night when the club members and their
friends and families held an outing and
ostrich egg supper. Stunts, amusements.
dancing and the novelty supper were
among the features that entertained the
200 who participated.
Members of the party reached the park
at T o'clock. where the dinner was be-
ing prepared and arranged on long la
bles on the north side of the park. After
visit to the beach the party gathered
around the tables, where a supper was
arranged for them.
The eggs used were from the ostrich
to every ten persons. each person being
served, among other edibles, two egg
sandwiches
The shells of the huge eggs were dis
played on the tables, many of them be-
ing claimed as souvenirs by the guests.
The eggs were declared to be excellent
and a tempting food by those who took
part in the supper
Following the meal the members of
the party made a tour of the park, TAX
ing in the various amusements which
had been arranged for by the Rotary club.
The ferris wheel victory channel, os-
trich farm, ''over the top the whip and
the merry -go-round were among the fea-
lures enjoyed.
At 9 O'clock the dancing was begun at
the public utilities. building where a
special Jazz orchestra furnished the
music. After the dance the pier was
voted one of the most comfortable and
satisfactory dancing pavilions in the Biz
mingham district, The dancing contin-
ued until Il o'clock, when the Rotarians
and the party departed.
Thornton Estes was master of cere-
monies. Among othcr happenings was
the awarding OF baby snakes in special
boxes to Mr. Estes Archie WHITE and
Bob Burnett. Throughout the evening
surprise stunts were made on various
members of the party, which furnished
pep and fun for the others. The only
sensation was the arrest made in the
dancing pavilion by policeman of Ro-
tartan. Biclyell, charged with 'shimmy-
ing Bond was signed on the spot and
the Rotarian was allowed his liberty on
his promise to attend court at I O'clock
today.

survivor of half a million Christian girls,

life story, which includes two years
spent as prisoner in Turkish harems
The brutality OF Nero to the early
Spanish Inquisition, the cruelties of the
middle ages all are surpassed in the rec
ords of the Turkish outrages.

Peak in Prices Next Year, Perhaps
. This is the actual perspective the
prospective builder gets from his fog
bound point of vantage on the present
day price peak. 1t is now an absolute
certainty that prices of building ma
terial will not permanently start to-
ward pre-war levels before the spring
of 1922. 1t is equally certain that the
price peak top will not be reached be-
fore the autumn Of 1920. From the
time that the top has been achieved in
the chart of building commodity prices
the demand for building construction
of all kinds will have become so acute
tionably be maintained stiff1y for a
year and half anyway, with only
fraction of the potential building Of
fered being able to proceed.
The year 1919 will close with ma
tional building program represented by
contracts awarded for building con-
struction amounting to $1,370,000,000
as compared with the country's best
building year in history, amounting to
$1,000 100000. When it is considered
that this years total is represented

struction as was forced to activity by
the pressing needs of commerce, manu-
facture or lack Of housing accommoda
ton, and that only a small fraction of
it is represented by speculative housing
or institutional building construction,
it is evident at once that the potential
building demand has not been more
than merely touched.
New York's Building Bill $4,000, 900
In New York City alone the years
construction record will close with
total in excess Of s240,000,000 which
comes close to being equal to the city's
best previous building record. The
same principle applies to this market
as applies to others throughout the
country-that this volume Of building
work is represented only by necessary
construction work, the purely specula
tive element being noticed only in re-
mote localities.
The full stride of the building con-
struction movement cannot get under
way until the time arrives when this
speculative builder can again come
into his own. He does not flourish

Interest in the immediate future of
building construction does not seem
to center so much in when building
material prices are going to return to
pre-war levels, but when they are 60
ing to stop advancing.
Retrospection at this time makes the
view from point half way up the
building material price peak almost
completely fog bound The Spectator
cannot see much beyond the point Of
his nose. He cannot go back The only
alternative is for him to proceed, in
spite of handicaps that seem almost
vision will be clearer. In short, the ex-
periences in price changes since 1912
to the present time that have come to
him and others in the building Of real
estate industries, seem almost suf-
ficient to warrant expectations of an
early end to advances. But he finds
himself still in the mists of uncertain
ties and he does not know what course
to take.
Can You Wait? That Is the Question
The soundest advice that can be given
TO any one contemplating building con-
struction of a commercial or industrial
nature, is to get into the active market
at the earliest possible moment, avoid
all thought of speed records in con-
struction and to be wary of the Lowest
bid For the builder of private resi-
dences or small suburban CONNIE rcial
building the question regarding wheth-
er to proceed with plans already pre-
pared or in course Of preparation can
best be answered by the individual him
self by frankly meeting the question ::
"Can | afford to wait five years, and
possibly more, for the projected build
ing?"
If the answer to that question is
forced to the affirmative by personal in
convenience, increasing pressure for
available space in the neighborhood,
city growth, sharp and unreasonable
advances in rents to premium bases,
then the best thing that man can do
is to proceed at once with his building
plans. If nothing matters much
