PRICES MUST DROP TO
 START BUILDING ACTIVITY

New Haven headquarters of the Con- necticut Builders Exchange is in receipt of letter from the Connecticut Brick Makers association pointing out that brick prices have not risen 300 per cent. since 1914, but 200 per cent. the price today being S27 a thousand, whereas in 1914 the same material could be purchased for S9. But at even the 200 per cent. in- crease, which is three times the price asked in 1914 officials of the exchange declared that no building could be done and that the price would have to drop away down before their clients could be persuaded to build
 The exchange committee appointed to interview manufacturers of material in an attempt to bring down prices to fair level, which consists of A. w. Sper- ry, New Haven, E. E. Wilson of Water- bury, and P. Zahn, of Norwich, is expect ed to hold many conferences during the week, some of which will continue into next week.
 Data on file at the headquarters of the exchange shows there are thousands of persons throughout the state who are planning to build as soon as materials show some inclination to drop within their reach and with such decreases builders declare that Connecticut will see the greatest building boom. in it's history.
 That such a building boom is needed to alleviate bad housing conditions in the state is shown by the scarcity of rents and the high rentals being charged work ingmen for their homes. Such men, in some cases, who are earning S25 and 33O week, are being asked $35 and $40 monthly for their apartments, and more. The landlord would probably retort that working men in the building trades who are earning as little as s25 a week are scarce,

Avoiding .Ph0n, Troubles.

Did you ever stop to think that some of your telephone troubles which great ly inconvenience your business routine. arise from trivial causes and might be prevented by little thought to such matters?
 Naturally we all desire a continuous and efficient telephone service. There are many little ways we can assist the telephone people in their efforts to pre- vide us with such service.
 For instance, simple knot in your telephone cord is an. to cause & break in your service. The knot weakens the delicate wires contained In the cora. Do not permit the cord to remain knot ted or you may he without service through no fault of the telephone com pany.
 If you let the cord rest against wet umbrella, or on the sponge on your desl' or against any other wet object, tele- phone trouble may follow. Don't expose the cord to dampness. Thousands oi trouble complaints arise from such in cidents. Take care to avoid such trou' bles. The telephone user will benefit by having . continuous service whilt the company. Is allowed the use of iti repairmen and materials for other great ly needed work
 And above all. don't leave the receiver off the hook when through talking. Don allow it to rest on book or other ob iect when hung up In Connecticut il oae year S2,0oo troubles" were caused in this way
 Your receiver off or resting on book means to the operator that your telephon is in use anc you do not get the ser 1 vice to which you are entitled. Yet tn, fault is not with the company.

No more deserving appeal for aid Of a worthy project has been made here re- gently than the one launched in the in- terest of tn Old Peoples home This home. on Main street, was left without endowment and there is no certain reve- nue except that which is derived from the rental of a house on the property At present the home is in need of money to be used for the upkeep of tn struc- trre and that the ends for which the home was left may be met.
 Mrs. M A. Shumway said Thursday afternoon that an effort Is under way to raise funds through series of special affairs to be used as. indicated. Seven inmates now live at the home and find if a haven of rest and hope That they may not be denied the comforts the home affords it has become necessary to appeal to the public to become interested in what is being done to raise funds.
 The cause is so worthy that 1t is felt by those who are charge with the duty oi administering the affairs of the home that the public will respond liberally. Good will toward the institution can be ex- pressed without great sacrifices upon the part of anyone, as opportunities that are now being opened will indicate. Mrs. Shumway is ready to give all informa- ton relative to the home and what is tc be done to raise funds for it's upkeep.

PUTNAM

Many A man adjusted his glasses and took a second squint at the registration plates on the automobile of w. ]. Raf- ferty Thursday and then looked again to make sure that he was seeing straight As the average person knows the Con- necticut registration plates for pleasure cars this year are black with orange fig ures. However, MT. Rafferty's numbers had changed to green and there were shamrocks in the corners of the plates on Thursday. and thereby hangs tale MT. Rafferty, some time since, joked Senator Archibald Macdonald of this dis 1 trict about the necessity of the Irish drfy- l ing their cars on St. Patrick's day this year under orange colors and hinted ra- l ther broadly that this was entirely the fault of the republican party.
 l The senator didn't say too much about
 the subject just at that time but went
 out to Hartford and got busy. The re- suit was the shipment of a special set
 of green nulnber plates for M. Raffer- 1 tvs use on St. Patrick's day only and ii I is not exaggerating to say that the joke
 was appreciated from both viewpoints and afforded many hearty laugh for all who
 saw the green numbers or who heard about them.
