For the Good of
 the Community

HOUR months ago there was general demand N throughout the country for a revival of building activities Comparatively little con- structon work was under way anywhere in the United States
 High prices of materials and wages frighten- ed off the few who felt inclined to put up new buildings. Estimates obtained at the time ranged from 50 to 100 per cent above those pre- vailing before the war and all thought of invest ments along that line were abandoned for the time being
 In Birmingham the situation was gloomy. Despite the great demand for homes, no one would undertake to supply it. The waiting pol icy was adopted Labor and materials must come down was generally predicted.
 The summer has now almost passed. Price ! levels are no lower than in the spring. In fact some things are higher. Yet, despite this fact, hundreds of buildings are going up in Birming ham. One company alone is erecting over 40 dwellings and it is stated others to be started soon will bring the total up to 100
 This is only small percentage of the build ings now going up in Birmingham and they are costing just as much for labor and materials as TOUT or i've months ago.
 recent survey of building conditions througout the country was made by Building Age, a journal devoted to that trade
 Figures received from 179 city building de- partments," says Building Age show that the value of permits granted in June, 1919, reaches the impressive total of $135, 130, ,606 as compared with 5l880412 for June 1918; this is a gain of l62 per cent. Still more impressive is the fact that l65 cities show gains as against only IA showing losses Of course the unfavorabe situation of last year must be taken into ac- count, yet this does not minimize the fact that construction will soon be above normal.
 Eastern cities report gain of 240 per cent; 50 per cent out of 60 showing increases; middle cities 49 out of 50 showing increases with 1O1 per cent net gains Southern cities, Al out AZ showing increases with 230 per cent gain, and Western cities, 25 out of 26 show increases with 82 per cent gain"
 According to the figures given by Building Age, Southern and New England cities show the greatest increase in building activities Bir- minghams record in this respect is not behind that of any other city, though operations were somewhat delayed here.
 There is still marked shortage of dwellings for rent or sale and it is likely to continue so for year or two at least, probably longer
 The lot owner who held off until summer is paying just as much for his house now as it would have cost last spring and he will be out

No Reward for Indolent

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 One hundred years ago, more or less. a certain individual by the name Of Sam Patch conceived the idea of going over the falls of Niagara with no other protection than that of a bathing suit. Before plunging into the rapids. he remarked, Some things car be done as we'll as others"
 AS his body was never recovered it Is safe to assume he had at least found one thing that he couldn't eco
 Since Sam's day. many difficult an | seemingly impossible things have been done and will yet be done, but there yet remains some things" as ifnpos-

PALMER'S PLANS
g '7euTO REMAIN FIXED
Governments Contention Will Be
Vigorously Defended Until Big
Test Court Decides.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Attorney
General Palmer's position with re-
spect to enforcement Of war time pro-
hibition has in no way been altered
BY court decisions in Rhode Island
and Kentucky it was officially stated
tonight at the department Of justice.
The governments contention that the
war time law is valid, it was added,
will be vigorously defended until
final decision has been handed down
by the United States supreme court.
While the enforcement Of the law
is estopped in the two states, United
States district attorneys, acting on
prior instructions, will proceed with
q prosecutions of violators in other
communities, officials declared.
Department officials differed as to
the results of the injunctions. Some
held that, during the life of the re-
straining order, there was nothing to
prevent open sale Of all intoxicants
covered by the order. Others did not
agree with this belief.
With regard to the effect on the
constitutional amendment by the
Ohio referendum overturning the
legislatures action the attorney gen.
,raPs view was said to be that action
oy the Ohio electorate would not
change the date on which the prohibi-
tion amendment to the constitution
goes into effect. Until the number
of states ratifying the amendment
iall below sc, the department will
not concern itself with the changes
in their identity, according to the
opinion expressed by the officials Of
Mr.. Palmer's staff.
Reports of a: new attack to b<
made by anti-prohibitionists in az
effort to stave off constitutional pro
aibition, have reached the depart
nent of justice from several sources
This assault is expected to be baset

Mrs. Louise M. Shorter Of Angus
ia, Ca, in a letter to The Planter
Medicine Co., tells of the wonderful
way in which she has been restored
to health through the use Of Planters
Renedicta.
She ha dsuffered agony from con-
tinued backache, headache and dizzi-
ness, but declares that after taking
Planters Benedicta for only three
days the pains all disappeared.
Continued use corrected all irreg-
ularities, and Mrs. Shorter states that
"she cannot say enough in praise of
Benedicta.
Planters Benedicta is natures own
remedy for the ills that are peculiar
to women, since it is made entirely
of herbs and barks, and is a purely
vegetable preparation.
It is not q habit-forming and con-
tains nothing that is the least bit in
furious.
Bened;cta is made from a formula
