 four to half dozen apartment build ings to be erected in Birmingham dur ing the present year have been in cir culation the past two or three weeks but so far no active work on any of them has begun.

Just a few lines to let you know that am well from the cold wrote you l had in my lung. There is no pain there at all and I guess I rubbed it out with camphorice and mentholatum
 Well, Frank and I went on an ex- cursion up the Rhine today. The gov ernment has taken over all the boats and are giving to different parties each day an excursion up the river to some front. We went up to Coblenz. There was big snow last night and 1t certainly looked beautiful over the mountains that are on the east side of the river all the way up to Coblenz. Never saw such a pretty sight before. All the trees are fir. and are green, and with the snow on them they looked lovely. All of those old castles with ivy growing up the walls were covered with snow. Sure wish you people could see this country. There were about 3,0oc,000 ducks on the river and l thought. If I had only carried my gun the banks were just lined with them.
 BOATS REVIEWED
 We were reviewed by the assistant secretary of the navy at Coblenz and there was about eight boats in the parade. They were all painted olive drab with Old Glory flying on them and on each was a regimental band. We had our band with us and all lined up and stood at attention while we passed him. He was on the foot of the Wilhelm statue which is located at the point where the Moselle river empties into the Rhine. That is some statue. We had dinner on the boats, or a lunch which consisted of two roast beef sandwiches and coffee, the first real roast beef since we have been over. We got back this afternoon at 5 o'clock and it was the most enjoyable day I've spent in a long time.
 We'll, I will now shoot you some

 I really believe it. Here goes,

GREAT DEMAND FAILS ID CAUSE BUILDING BOOM
Small Probability of Reduc- ton in Price of Lumber, But Dealers Are
 Optimistic

In face of the clamorous demand for houses and apartments that has ex- isted for a year or more Birmingham property owners dOs not seem to be In any particular hurry to begin build ing operations. They are waiting, 1t Is said, or at least a great many of them who contemplate building during the year, for lower cost of materials and perhaps labor. There have been some reductions in n few things that enter into the construction of homes, such as radiators, for instance, and maybe one CT two other things, but material men who have expressed opinions on the mat ter state that no decided lowering of prices can be expected for . long time.
 She fact that the lumber mill opera tors are calling for help is hopeful sign in that 1t indicates that they eith- CT are receiving orders for their prod uct now or are expecting to receive orders within the immediate future. J. E. Watts, in charge of the local office of the United States employment serv- ice, stated yesterday that several mills scattered over the state had sent in calls for sawmill hands.

LUMBERMEN OPTIMISTIC

The lumber manufacturers are re- ported to be very optimistic over the prospect of business during the com ing summer and fall While the cut is only about 70 per cent of normal at present every foot of lumber Is being shipped as fast as it is cut.
 "I have just returned from meet ing of the Southern Pine Manufactur CTS association" J. H. Eddy. manager of the Kaul Lumber company, stated yesterday. "Every lumberman at the meeting spoke in optimistic terms of the future The mills are not running full time. probably about 30 per cent under normal, but they are shipping their output as fast as it is cut.
 There is not much probability of a reduction in prices of lumber. at least for the present as the cost and selling prices are now about equal, probably not more than a cents difference per 1000 feet. In view of this fact the manufacturers can hardly be expected to reduce the prices"
