supply will go and what kind Of dishes
she can prepare from them. To begin
with, she should remember that the
usefulness Of these foods Is not de-
pendent on the form in which they are
served, providing. Of course, they are
prepared In wholesome ways. For ex-
ample, an egg used in the preparation
Of mullins, corn bread, custard or ice
cream goes as far toward making body
protein as when 1t Is boiled or poached.
Most housekeepers serve a central
dish Of meat or meat substitute for
dinner and for luncheon or supper and
some serve such dish for breakfast.
This habit has the advantage of assur-
ing a regular supply of the complete
protein foods but 1t may lead to the
use Of unnecessarily large amounts Of
them. A meal may be quite unusual
in form and yet perfectly nutritious.
1t may consist of an unstrained meat
soup containing the meat itself. with
bread, or of cottage cheese with bread.
butter, fruit, and vegetables. Or. II
may seem to consist of dessert only,
as when strawberry shortcake with
milk as beverage constitutes a sup
per or luncheon.
The total amount of complete-protein
food decided on by the housekeeper as
desirable for her family may be served
chiefly in the form Of a central meat
dish, or in the form Of soups, vege-
table dishes, and desserts as the fol-
lowing list suggests:

partly because of the scarcity of GER
tain goods during the war period,
and partly because of the new ex-
periences through which tens of mil
lions have passed, which have awak-
ened in them desires for goods and
services they never enjoyed before.
Along with crater production of
goods there is likely to go further
extensions of credits rather than con-
traction. Neither the credit system
of the United States nor that of the
world has reached the limits of its
power of expansion

er's paper is briefly summarized in
the Following paragraphs.
y Prices are not going to fall
much, if at ALL We are on a per-
manently higher price level, and busi-
ness men shonld go ahead on that
basis
lo. The general level of prices is
dependent upon the volume and rap
idity Of turnover of the circulating
medium in relation to the business to
be transacted thereby. If the num-
Der of dollars circulated by cash or by
cheek doubles, while the number of
goods and services exchanged there
~ emains constant, prices will about
double.
IL. The great prices changes in his
tory nave come about in just this way.
ne price revolution of the sixteenth
certaFy was a result of the great in
ftEg If gold and silver from American
mics. A similar increase in prices
ali over the world occurred between
1896 and 1914, following the discovery
OF ricb new gold fields, and the in
PRODUCTION of cheaper methods of min
ing.
r. The present rise in prices has
resulted from the great extension Of
credits by the countries at war. and
basis of credit, and not from any
great increase in the gold supply of
the world. In the United States.
however, the supply of gold has been
greatly increased because of our
large excess of exports of commodi-
ties, and our present gold reserves
would permit of a much greater ex-
pansion of credits than exists now.
13. There is little likelihood of a fall |
IN prices in the United States. The
gold reserve, which is now the basis
OF our currency, is not likely to leave
the banks and return to general cir .
culation, since this is contrary to
monetary experience. No great out
flow of gold is to be expected through +
international trade, since our exports
are likely to exceed our imports in
the reconstruction period, and we no
longer will have large interests and
freight payments to make to Europe.

SUMMARY OF A FORTHCOMING
REPORT ENTITLED ECON
ONICS OF THE CONSTRUC-
TON INDUSTRY"

The following summary of a forth
coming report entitled Economics of
the Construction Industry" has been
prepared by the Division of Public
Works and Construction Develop
/ rnent, Information and Education
k5ervice, Department of Labor, Frank
lin T. Miller, Directar:
In January 1915, the Division of
Public Works and Construction Devel-
'opment was organized as branch OF
the Information and Education Ser
vice of the Department of Laiar. Its
purpose was to be the stimulation of
the interest of the Nation in public
and private construction with a, view
to the creation of buffer employment
for labor during the period of tran
sition of manufacturing industries
from war to peace production. 1t
waschargen with the securing of da-
ia for the use of the construction in
dustry, but its activities were also to
comprehend study of the economic
conditions affectind industry as a
whole.
" In conformity with its purpose it
has given wide publicity to the ma
terial which it has gathered on prices
and price tendencies in the construc-
ton industry, and to such other in
formation as it believed was of i'm
mediate value for the construction
industry and for general industry.
It's findings are contained in Econ
omics of the Construction Industry"
now in press In the following pages
a brief summary of these findings is
presented, which it is hoped will pro-
vide conviction for those who,son the
threshold of an era of bsiness pros
perity, still hesitate. On the basis
if its study it has come to the con-
clusion that construction in 1919 can
be justified on financial grounds. 1t
rejoices to find such a widespread ac-
ceptance if its views as is evidenced
by the remarkable resumption of CON
strnction activity of the last three
months. 1t looks to public officials
and private and speculative builders
everywhere to maintain or increase
the present activity, for it feels that
by so doing they will not only be Sc
curing reasonable return on their
investments, but they will also be re
heving the unprecedented shortage in
housing, supplying needed employ
ment, and aHaylng inch of the nuds-
trial unrest incident to a period of
readjustment.
The New Commodity Price Level.
i. Most believed that the high level
of prices reached during the war was
caused merely by the extraordinary
demand for commodities which ex-
cedded the supply. With the end OF
the war and with war demand thing
of the past, they quite naturally ex-
pected a sharp drop in prices and
price level approximating in short
time the prewar price level
2. 1t was also commonly believed
that the industrial capacity of the
world had been greatly expanded I'M

and that this expansion would bring

sharp competition between rival con-
Germs in time of peace. Furthermore
it was thought that there would be
after the war great armies of I'M
employed workmen, who would be
compelled by necessity to accept
work at low wages; that there would
be sharp competition among the lead
ing nations in international trade,
and that buyers generally, looking
forward to an era of lower prices,
would postpone buying In the light
of these considerations it was but
natural for people to expect great
fall in prices, and even to fear an in
dnstrial panic.
However. the expected great fall
In prices has not occurred, and it is
not likely to occur for the following
reasons:
3. The rise in prices during the
war was not merelysthe result of
great demand for goods and of a
scarcity of certain goods. 1t was
largely brought about by means of in
fiation of the currency by the gov
ernments at war and by the neutrals,
either by the direct issue of paper
money or by the issue of bonds. AL
thogh war orders are now largely
thing of the past, the extension Of
credits still exists as "a continuing
cause of high prices. There is little
to indicate an early contraction of
credits.
A. World production in general
during the war contrary to widely
held view, was not abnoEmally large.
This is srown by statistics of world
production of leading basic materials
of iudstry such as coal, petroleum,
iron ore, and of cotton, sugar, wool,
wheat, and other agricultural prod
ucts. Consequently the abnormal
consumption of goods for war pur-
poses has depleted the stocks of com
modities of the world
5. Armies of unemployed, In the
United States at least, have nat ma
terialized, and an actual labor short
age is in prospect. Wages are not
likely to be lowered
6. Buyers since the armistice, al
though showing a desire to wait foE.
lower prices, have been compelled to
buy to meet their daily needs. Dur
ing the war, because of scarcity of
commodities and high prices or be-
cause of patriotic self-denial, they
did not buy in advance of need, as is
customary in an era Of rising prices.
Consumers goods are in great de-
mand and retail trade is now moving
in great volume.
Z. The production capacity of in
dustry should be greatly increased,
lower prices would not be necessarily
follow. If there is strong enough de-
mand for commodities, prices need
not fall, no matter in how large vol
ume commodities, prices need not fall
no matter III now large VCiufn2 COM
modities are produced. There is ev-
cry reason for expecting such q
strong demand. The world MS now
suffering from great shortage Of
durable goods-buildings, transpor-
portation facilities, and industrial
equipment. Furthermore people, both
in the United States and Europe,
have stronger desire for consumers |
goods than ever before This is true :
