For Good of
the Community

THE American people is an elastic one.
Il Three years ago the World war
showed no sign of the beginning Of the end
The treasury was shoveling money into
the causes of war. Alabamians men,
women and children, were heaping the
war chests full.
All that money was going to clothe and
feed soldiers, to make ammunition that
was to belch destruction, to create arrla-
ments that were to destroy. Not one pen
ny of that has returned in kind. A great
principle was won, but the money is gone
forever.
Despite that none suffered in this coun-
try during the war. Despite the extrava-
gance of the war period and that of the
two years following, the average Ameri-
can citizen was quietly putting aside a
large proportion of his earnings. The
more he gave to war causes, the more he
placed in savings banks.
The first fruits of this forehandedness
are being plucked. Out of their savings
men of average means are drawing to
build homes. In Birmingham alone there
were savings deposits of S21, 100000 on
March Is, which is 1924 for every man,
WOuldIl dllU CIlIIU, UldCh dIlO Willie, HdUlV6
and foreign. This was So, 825,000 more
in savings than on the same date in 1919.
The apparently reckless people of 1919
and 1920 were preparing for the future
Just as soon as costs arrived at a reas-
enable level the homing instinct began re-
asserting itself 1t was only dormant. In
February building permits aggregated
twice passed the average monthly record
of 1919 and 1920.
Three of our soil pipe plants have re-
sumed in response to the revived building
industry Where homes are built they
furnish the sanitary equipment. The en-
ployes have accepted wage reductions, pig
iron for making the pipe is 40 per cent
lower and coke is correspondingly cheap
er. Lower cost for pipe is one of the
causes leading to building activity
The increase in building activity is
countrywide. The Alabama pipe shops
sell their product over the country. AS
building progresses they will have to
make more pipe and as more pipe is made
more blast furnaces will go in operation.
More nails and steel rods and chicken
wire and fencing will be needed and steel
mills will be going to supply the want.

crease in building permits during the first

first handsome apartment house.

ent highway to the Calhoun county line
