House Shortage
Growing Worse

projects have been held back because
of the feeling that building costs would
recede later. However, experience
has shown that those who waited have
gained nothing, while those who went
ahead with their plans have no cause
for regret During the last year the
dmount of work projected was about
twice as much as the amount of actual
operations.
1.-THE uncertainty as to future price
tendencies constitutes one of the most
unfavorable factors in the situation
today.
1.-THE feeling is being fostered by the
slump in prices in many commodities.
1t should be borne in mind, however,
that conditions incorporated in the
general range of commodities and
those in the housing situation are not
analogous. The processes Of liquiGa-
ton such as we have witnessed lately
with regard to general merchandise
cannot include the building commod-
ity. Merchants can move their stocks
Of merchandise from their shelves
by cutting prices, and there always is
more or less f1uctuatiOn in these lines.
Housing space, however, is generally
leased on a basis of one year or more.
During periods Of retrenchment. such
as we have witnessed In this country
during the last six months, housing,
therefore. Is affected less than any
other commodity. People can quickly
adjust themselves to economies in
clothing, food and other requirements
of their daily lives, while business con-
Germs can reduce quickly operating
costs by putting into effect general
economies. But in neither instance
is it generally possible or advisable
to curtail expenditures for housing
space.
No Benefit in Delay.
"Some of the abnormal prices and
bonuses which have existed in the con-
struction business will not continue to
be paid, but general fundamental con-
ditions at this time do not indicate
that there is wisdom In Withholding
building operations.
1.-THE basic influences which may be
expected to exert their force against
lower building costs may be summar-
lied as>fOll0ws:
unprecedented demand throughout
the country for housing facilities OF
all kinds. =
shortage of highly paid skilled
laborers I'm many Of the essential
building trades.
Tremendous increases In business
with corresponding increase in nee
essary building equipment, after the
present period Of readjustment and
liquidation.
General tendency toward readjust
ment to higher levels of income from
property.
Export demand for American build
ing materials as conditions improve
abroad.
"Insistence of public on constantly
improved standards of living. with cor
responding demand for more costly
equipment"

Special Committees Are Formed to

Fostering Research Work.

New York.-America is entering on
an era of industrial research in which
corporations, large and small, are
linked with government agencies, en-
gineering organizations and universe
ties, in a systematic effort to salvage
the knowledge gained In war and to
awaken the nations latent industrial
and economic power. Hundreds of
plants are fostering these researches,
for which a permanent national Sys-
TEN is being worked out by Engineer
ing Foundation an instrumental1ty or
the United Engineering society TO al
vance the rapidly developing science
of engineering.
1t is only recently, however, that
research has become a really natioaal
undertaking.
Activity in industrial research must
be cO-ordinated and expanded, SAID
Robert NJ Raymond, professor of min
ing in the schools of mines, engineer
ing and chemistry of Columbia. The
university, said Professor Raymond. is
now conducting industrial research
which will be of great value to the
nation. Prof. Arthur M. Greene of
Rensselaer, Polytechnic institute, Troy,
n. Y, chairman of the research COM
mittee of the American Society of Me-
chanical Engineers, took the same
view.
For Specific Research.
This committee, Professor Greene
explained, is accomplishing its work
by organizing special committees for
specific research and by collecting and
publishing research information. The

gineers Is one Of the four founder so
cieties for which the United Engineer
ing society holds certain endOwments.

"The life of every American citi-

will be vitality affected by the work

Auto Travel Best for Horses.

For the transportation of race
horses the automobile has been founG
far superior to the railroad. The ami
mails are usually nervous or high
strung, and the treatment received in
the course Of railroad journey has
a disturbing effect which persists for
days after. Especially built cars have
been found to be very satisfactory.
The animals are surer of reaching
their destination quickly and are un-
loaded in much better condition.

Little Ruth went with her minis

one of his parishioners. During the
call she sat very quietly until they
rose to go home, and then she asked
her mother aloud: isn't she going
to give US any of that?'
Mother, of course. asked: "Give us
what, dear?"
But she wished she hadn't when
Ruth returned: 'Why, some of that
