railroad service is much improved,
production is good, labor plentiful and
more efficient, strikes i%nfreQuent, ma
terlals easy to secure and lower in
price. 1t is easy to get things done,
and apparently nobody wants to do
them.
The construction industry illustrates
this Woll. During the war building
was held back by war restrictions.
The result was a large accumulation
of work waiting TO be done when the
armistice was signed. Yet everybody
interested in construction work adopt
ed a waiting attitude until about six
months after the armistice. Then
everybody who had building work to
do tried to do it at once, but there
were not enough transportation, labor
and materials to so around. Prices
scared. and the result was turmoil and
disappointment.
Building conditions now are much
the same as when the armistice was
signed. Because of the interferences
just mentioned there is still a large
accumulation of work waiting to be
done. Yet everybody interested in
construction work is adopting a wait
ing attitude. If continued it may re-
suit in turmoil similar to that expert
enced through the last half Of 1919
and nearly all of 1920.
Everybody knows that there is a
shortage OF dwellings throughout the
country and hat rents are high.
Rents will remain high until there are
enough houses to supply the demand.
Blu homes are not the only things
needed. Construction work Of other
kinds must go ahead, notably high
ways and railroad improvements.
All the foregoing explains features
of the cement situation not generally
known. Some people have feared
there will not be enough cement avail
able to supply the needs Of a large
construction program. This is a mis-
aiken impression based on past diff
culties. The trouble in the last year
of unusually heavy demand has been
not lack of cement manufacturing ca
pacity but inability on the part of
manufacturers to keep their plants
operating at capacity.
There is now and will be plenty of
cement to supply the country's needs
as long as transportation and other
conditions permit cement mills to OBJ
crate reasonably near full capacity
and to ship the finished product.

BUILDING DEMAND INCREASES

A period of depression is largely a
state Of mind. We had one after the
armistice. We are experiencing 4
now. For a year or pore up to sev-
eral weeks ago the conduct of business
resembled an obstacle race. Then
railroad service was demoralized, pro
duction was low, labor scarce and in
efficient, strikes frequent, materials
hard to secure and high in price. 1t
was difficult to. get things done-and
everybody wanted to do them.
For the last several weeks business
has had a clear way before it. Now

IWERRENRATH COMING

Raleigh, December lit is decid-
edly a loss to the operate stage that
ReinaId Werrenrath, the eminent
American baritone, who sings in Raj
eigh on December 16 will not devote
his career to it. Few singers in the
history of the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, won such success
as a debutant mad maintained this
success in all the varied roles he sang
there. His was very interesting case.
He did not seek the engagement
which sought him. He had never been
on the stage in his life and had never
really considered it. When Gatti
Gasazza asked him to join the COM
pany, an extraordinary honor, he
accepted it because he thought it
would be interesting for time and
would help broaden him as an art
list. He took few months coach
ing with the veteran Victor Maui

EOHIBITIONISTS CRITICIZE
PRESIDENT HARDING.

Chicago, Nov. Sentiment in
favor OF the reorganization OF the
Prohibition Party and its continuance
under new name developed today
at the opening of national prohi-
bition conference and meeting of the
Prohibition National Committee. Of
|ticials reported decline in the par
tvs ranks, due TO a feeling that its
work was done.
President Harding and the Nation
al Administration We're criticised by
Virgil G.. Hinshaw, Chairman of the
party, for what he said was indif-
ference to the enforcement of the
prohibition law.
There are certain ones who have
to do officially with the enforcement
of the Eighteenth Amendment who
Iare saying to little groups of dry sym
pathizers here and there that the Adj
ministration is back of this law, but
they request their auditors not to
tell the public what they have said"
he declared. 1T is a confidential mat
er. If the President is for this amend
ment. if he is against the scandalous,
ineffective enforcement in many parts
of the country, if he is opposed to
home distilleries as we'll as public
manufactures, let him say So"
AIR. Hinshaw called for vigilance
committees to "arise all over the
country To cooperate with the en-
forcement officials" :"
we face a new opportunity, an
opportunity to enforce the law that
now exists" he said This is our
job. II we cannot get the Adminfstra-
tiOn now in power to lead the way
we shall have to elect one that will
"One of the disappointing things
about our President is that he has
made no public appeal to the nation
to uphold the Eighteenth Amend
ment. and he appointed Secretary
