HOUSING Shortage
is STILL EVIDENT

A pressing demand for buildings
OF every kind accentuated by q grow.
ing shortage OF dwellings IS indicated
By reports from all sections Of the
country! Considerable construction
work was begun in many parts Of
the country during the present sum
meF. but as the greater number Of
these are not yet completed the de-
mand for housing accommodations
remains unsatished.
Typical Of conditions everywhere
are the following: Portland, Ne,
reports shortage in dwelling and
tenement houses; HaVerhill. Law
renee and Salem. Mass. report de-
mand for dwellings and tenements;
Albany needs mats; Manhattan needs
office, dwelling and storage build
ings; Rochester needs dwellings ana
mercantile buildings Atlantic City
East Orange and Elizabeth. n. J., are
short In dwellings and apartments
and almost all the towns In Pennsyl-
vania report q deficiency in resi-
dences.
Shortage. In west
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois show q
shortage in dwellings, with an occa-
sionai report on demands for schools
of shortage in Colorado, Utah, WASH
ington and California Is in dwellings.
In the South and Southwest there IS
a demand for business buildings. this'
being especially noticeable In Texas
and Louisiana.
scranton and Wiikesbarre, Pa,
Newark, Ohio: wheeling, W. Va;
and Bloomington and Danville, 1ll-
report no demand for buildings in
dicating present facilities are ade-
quate to current needs
Tacoma, Wash. was the only city
reporting no delay on account Of
wages material prices. interest rates
and available capital. Tacoma's OBJ
stacle was inclement weather, and
subseduent reports from the State OF
washington indicate preparations
for unusual building activity for the
spring season
High Vases q Factor.
A majority of the cities assert that
high wages are a factor in holding
back building. There Is almost unan-
imous concurrence in the opinion that
hfgh prices Of materials are deter
mined obstacles. There is not much
complaint about interest rates, but
fourteen cities report builders are
having difficulty in obtaining capital
10 finance projects.
This latter obstacle appears not to
be a sectional matter. but rather one
growing out Of local conditions in
widely separata territory. Cambridge,
Mass; New Haven, Albany. Philadel-
phia, Terre Haute, wheeling, and Au-
rora. III, are among the cities re-
porting difficulty in borrowing capi-
tai for building work.
Wherever building industry organi-
nations have gone into the subject,
the conclusion has prevailed that no
decrease in labor wages may be ex-
pected for some time to come-not
until the general price level on 1iV-
ing necessities drops. Economists OF
the Department OF Labor, headed by
Prof Irving Fisher, OF Yale UniVer-
sity. support this contention
I'VE are on a permanently higher
price level" says Prof. Fisher. @and
the sooner the business men Of the
country take this view and adjust
themselves to il the sooner will they
save themselves and the nation from
the misfortune which win come IL we
persist in our present false hopes"

HUNTING SEASON OPENS THIS
YEAR SEPT. l6-NEW LAWS

Hunters this season should take
note Of the changes in the game laws
for this year. Tho principal changes
in the laws are those preventing the
carrying of guns in automobiles I'M
less either taken apart or placed in a
case. Also the season on prairie
chicken is closed until 1923. This is
good law as the number of birds
the last two years has been fewer
than several years ago. Every true
sportsman will not modest these birds
as then it will be possible for them
to become more numerous and afford
sportsmen all the more pleasure in

to the small game license remains the
| same. 1t is required of all huters ov-
err fourteen years old not hunting on
