APARTMENT HOTELS
MOREPOPULARNOW

Comenting on conditions in the
building and construction industry,
S. w. Straus, of S. w. Straus & Co.,
Of New York. said yesterday:
CAS- a result of the shortage of SER
want labor, higher rentals. and the in
creasing cost of all household sup
plies, distinctively new tendency
has developed in the building indus
try which is manifested in an unpre-
cedented demand for large apartment
houses of the residential hotel type.
Modern ingenuity has created this
form Of construction to the end that
many Of the Objectionable features
and inconvenience of the individual
home are eliminated.
1.-The servant problem has been a
vexatious for some time, and is
likely to become more acute with re-
stricted immigration and, a higher
scale Of wages in other lines of &C
tivity. The newly developed type
of apartment hotel furnishes maid
service and meals, so that in the fam
lily there is saved the inconvenience
and expense of marketing, preparing
meals and maintaining a kitchen. AS
the supply of household servants be-
comes more scarce and the density
of population in our great, cities in
creaSeS there VIII be a continued
strong tendency toward the cOnstruc-
ton of apartment houses and family
hotels.
I'm the principal American cities
today, many of the most important
building projects are hotels of either
transient or apartment type. In the
various complexities of modern life,
it is becoming more necessary for
people to travel, and people also are
travelling more as a means of educa-
ton and diversion. These conditions
are reflected in a demand Tor better
and more commodious hotel accom-
modations. which tendencies will con-
tinue with the Development Of better
facilities.
There was 4 time when a trip
across the American continent was
considered longs and hazardous
Journey. but the day will soon come
when New York and San Francisco
will seem like next door neighbors,
for the airship is quickly annihilating
distance, just as the telephone AMI
telegraph have done.

IS
NEARING NORMAL

Construction is nearing a normal
| stage, due to the tremendous activity
/ in lines closely affiliated with con-
struction work. according to the
American Architect. Commenting on
| the Increased activity, it says:
at has been the general belief that
| the high level of prices reached dur
ing the war was caused merely by the
extraordinary demand for commodi-
ties which exceeded the supply. With
the war demand a thing of the past
there was naturally expected sharp
drop in prices and price level nearly
approximating that of pre-war times.
ut was also commonly believed
that the industrial capacity Of the
world had been greatly expanded un-
der the stimulation of war orders,
and that this expansion would bring
sharp competition between rival con-
Germs in time of peace. Furthermore,
il was thought that there would be
great armies of unemployed work
men, the result Of rehabilitation,
who would be compelled by necessity
to accept work at low wages, and that
there would be sharp competition
among the leading nations in inter
national trade, and that buyers gem
orally, looking forward toward an era
Of lower prices, would postpone buy
ing In the light OF these considera-
tions il was but natural for people to
expect a great fall in prices and even
to fear an industrial panic.
War depleted World Stocks.
''WorId production in general dur
Ing the war, contrary to widely held
view, was not abnormally large. This
is shown by statistics OF world pro-
duction of leading basic materials OF
industry such as coal, petroleum, iron
ore, cotton, sugar, wool, wheat and
other agricultural products.
consequently the abnormal con-
sumption Of goods for war purposes
has depleted the stocks of commcdi-
ties of the world.
Armies Of unemployed, in the Unit
ed States at least, have not material
lied, and an actual labor shortage is
in prospect Wages are not likely to
be lowered.
Retail Trade Soaring.
Buyers since the armistice, al
though showing a desire to wait for
lower prices, have been compelled to
buy to meet their daily needs. During
the war, because of scarcity Of com
modities and high prices or because
Of patriotic self denial, they did not
buy in advance of need as is custo-
mary in an era Of rising prices. Con-
sumers' goods are in great demand
and retail trade is now moving in
great volume.
'1f the production capacity OF in
dustry should be greatly increased
lower prices would not necessarily
follow. II there is a strong enough
demand for commodities prices need
not fall, no matter in how large
volume commodities are produced.
Along with greater production of
goods there is likely to go further ex-
tensions Of credits rather than con-
traction.
