Build Home Now! Prices Of
Material Are Going Up; Not Down

Immediately after the armisce was signed all that
portion of the public interested in building began to make
inquiries about prices and to determine how many and
what classes of buildings were needed.
The almost total cessation of building during the war
had created abnormal demand for construction which
added to extensively and rapidly by desire for ex-
1t was easy to see that the demand for new build
ngs Of practically class great that prob
ably could not be filled this year
With this tremendous demand for all classes of
buildings from the most modest cottage to the most mod
ern apartment house, hotel office building and industrial
plant confronting all parts of the country most builders
decided the prices too high and must soon come
down.
The result was, very few building projects
dertaken.
few men, however believed the high prices
here to stay and that if any change in the price level
were to follow, that change would be upward rather
than downward
These few men began to build. They are now be-
ginning to reap the rewards of their foresight will
begin to do largely because their buildings COM
peted or about completed and can be rented at prices
that justify the high cost of building.
The majority of the public has continued to wait
for a drop in prices.
The prices, however, have advanced slightly.
six months study and observation of conditions
which apparently caused the high prices, is causing
change Of attitude Of builders and capitalists towards
high building prices.
The predominant opinion of the business world to-
day is that there will be reduction in prices.
Men are beginning to see that the cause is very
largely of labor in producing building material and
in constructing the buildings.
The business world does not believe labor is going
to ask any less for its services and that present high
prices will remain for many years.
Delegates attending the convention Of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards the last week in June
unanimous in their belief that building prices
not going down.
These men recognize that increased rents make the
percentage of return building erected just
large the percentage pre-war houses when both
rents and costs lower.

Paul Murphy, director of the governments Gown
Your Home movement, says the country is 1,O0OO 600
houses short and predicts housing famine next fall
report recently made public by the educational
service of the Department of Labor says that there is
likelihood of fall in prices.
This report says: "The rise in price during the
not result of great demand for the goods of
scarcity.
"Although war orders are thing of the past the
extension of credits still exists and there very little to
indicate early contraction of credits"
This report brings out the fact that there de-
pletion in the stocks of all commodities during the
and that therefore, the big armies of unemployed which
predicted did not materiaze, but that there is
almost shortage of labor.
These facts which the departments report point out
leave nothing upon which to base the prediction that
labor prices (building prices) will drop.
Financial interests of the country showed consd-
erabe hesitation towards building Immediately after the
armistice was signed but are now taking different
attitude.
The following statement by Walter stabler comp
troller of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company is
fair example of the attitude of financial toward
building:
"There were several reasons why building has not
gone The first there not money enough.
Second the uncertainty to the cost of erect
ing buildings.
"They are certain to cost materially more than they
have cost and to look for lower costs
of these buildings.
'There has been reluctance on our part, and on
the part of other lenders to make loans based upon
present cost because did not feel certain at all that
these costs to be permanent reasonably perma
nent. I satisfied that they are and if to do
any lending of money if there to be any building DONE
have got to face the situation and loan existing
prices.
GAS a compensation for that rents are higher
"The rents that are obtained today will pay the
builder for erecting these houses"
There seems to be but position to take with ref
erence to building and that is BUILD NOW.

very misleading because Of the condi-
tons which it fails to contemplate. It
is true that there are many road sur
faces composed of earth or earthly ma
terial which do not become very muddy
under traffic, even during long rainy
seasons, and since such surfaces uSu-
ally tend to harden very rapidly as
soon as the weather clears up, it may
be desirable to drag roads of this kind
Immediately after rain. Such roads,
however would not ordinarily need to
be dragged after every rain, because
of the strong tendency that they nat
urally possess of holding their shape.
On the other hand, many varieties Of
clay and soil tend to become very
muddy under only light traffic after
very moderate rains, and, it is evident
that roads constructed of such ma
terials could not always be success
fully dragged Immediately after rain.
Sometimes, in fact, it may be neceS-
sary to wait until several consecutive
clear days have elapsed after a long
rainy spell before the road is sUnsc!!ent--

however, under heavy traffic, during
rainE weather, and are almost sure to
need dragging several times each year.
| Such roads should ordinarily be drag
ged as soon after rain as prac-
ticable as otherwise the surface soon
becomes dry and hard, so that it is
necessary to do considerably more
! dragging in order to fill the ruts. Fur
thermore, the material which the drag
moves will not compact readily unless
it contains considerable amount of
moisture.
Gravel roads can be effectively MAIN
tanned with road drag only when the
gravel composing the surface is fine
grained and contains considerable
quantity of clay earth. Gravel road
surfaces in which this condition pre-
walls not infrequently get badly out Of
shape during wet weather, and may
sometimes require considerably more
attention than well-constructed sand
clay topsoil roads. The time for drag
ging gravel roads is unquestionably
while they are wet. In fact, the best
results are sometimes obtained by do
ing the dragging after the road has be-
come thoroughly soaked and while it
is still raining.
In general, it may be said that the
best time to drag any type Of road is
when the material composing the sur
face contains sufficient moisture to
compact readily after it has been
moved by the drag and is not suffi-
GENTLY wet for the traffic following the
drag to produce mud.

They gave him a job as sweeper,
but after working in the shop a few
weeks he became interested in the ma

and hand screw machines. Because
he spent more time watching the ma
chimes than in working, he fell behind
in his work, but the foreman learning
of his attraction toward the machines,
turned him over to the training In
