BOOM IN BUILDING
SEEN BY BANKER
Construction Costs Becom-
ing Stabilized and Lower
Price Levels Expected.

Encouraging factors bearing on the
building situation lend emphasis to
the declaration of contractors and
activity. especially in residential
types Of structures. is growing as
the season advances. This is the
belief of :. W. Straus. New York
banker.
Sentiment is becoming more wide
spread that building costs have he
come stabilized and that prices can
be expected to go little if any lower
than present levels, he points out.
The labor situation is becoming a
more substantial and depe nda Bile fac
tor. There has been some scaling
down of wages. which gives builders
"A more definite basis on which TO
figure costs and adds further proof
that now is the time to go ahead
with building projects. he states.
Big Operations Planned.
'lndications that operations of uau-
sual magnitude are being planned and
that the industry generally recog-
niZes the timeliness of these projects
are substantiated by the extensive in
quirics now being made for capital
to assist in building" MIR. Straus re-
marks. These inquiries are largely
houses, which. when completed. will
directly help the housing situation to
a marked degree.
The seriousness of the situation is
emphasized by the recent report of
the Senate committee on reconstruc-
tion and production. which has made
A careful survey of the country. There
is indicated a potential need of capi-
tai for structural facilities running
from ten to twenty billion dollars. OF
this amount $1,000, 900 600 is needed
for home construction alone. Until
this vast amount of capital has been
raised and the needed structures COM
pleted there will be distress and in
convenience and the progress of gen
eral business Will be impeded.
Every days delay in getting back
to full steam ahead on building opera
tions is days postponement of the
country's prosperity. Progress in the
building situation is d matter which
is of vital interest to every citizen
in the country. and the public should
bend all possible efforts toward CO.
operating with building interests in
pushing forward an extensive pro-
gram.

LOCAL QUINTET TO MEET AUBURN FIVE HERE WEDNESDAY
New Orleans Makes Ready for Dixie Meet Tourney.
 Prospective Bouts
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

It was a severe dose handed the Clubbers by Atlanta A. c. basketeers Saturday night. for to lose to Atlanta is bad enough. but when the score is more than doubled on them, the Club bers think it is time to get somewhat sore.
 However, defeats passed are relics of the past to be thought of during ones idle moments, and there are no idle moments to be found on the Club bers' programme this week.
 Two of the strongest teams in Dixie will invade the local court this week, Auburn coming for a game Wednesday night, followed by Camp Bennings on Saturday night
 Hutsel1s men will work out the kinks resulting from the game with Atlanta with hard practice tonight. There were many faults brought to light in the game Saturday night that will make this weeks work for Coach Hutsell.
 Auburn will have to do several things if she intends to win the game Wednesday night, but one of the main things to be considered by the Plains men is the close guarding of one Hun gry Floyd. who ran the Crackers ragged Saturday night. If Hungry" ever gets started, it will take both Hub Hahn and Hub Barks, stars with the Plainsmen, to score enough points to offset the offensive ability of the Clubbers' forward.
 The game Wednesday will begin at s:30 D. m. and will be followed by a dance.

HALL SIGNS WITH
 RALPH PARKINSON
 CO.'S DARE-DEVILS
By BEN GREEN

John D. Hall, the Birmingham youth who was the first person to change
 from an automobile to an aeroplane,
 has signed up with the Ralph Hankin-
 son company to perform his feats at fairs and expositions during the sea> son of 1921, which begins about April l. This daring boy is one of the most versatile stunters in the game, his daily programme consisting of the fol- lowing tricks: Transfer from speed- Ing automobile to aeroplane twice a day, stand on plane and loop the loop twice, do acrobatic stunts on plane twice, and climb down 20-foot rope and hang on one foot, and then .limb back up twice in day.
 Young Hall has had the most me- teoric rise to fame that is on record, performing his wonderful feat without the least bit of preparation and having never before been on an aeroplane
 while it was in flight. This youth
 was born. raised and lives in West End, and is now the hero and idol of many of the youngsters in that section of the lefty. This lad possesses all the -equi- sites of good performer, which are mainly steel muscles, clear eye and iron nerve and a fearless spirit He is daily putting in several hours of sXer-
 else to get himself in good trim for the seasons work
 Ralph Hankinson. who is the largest land foremost promoter of features at
 fairs and expositions and is the in
 ventor of the game of auto polo is
 now In winter quarters at the Preston
 Motor company's plant on Vanderbilt road. The 30 odd racing cars which
 represent the best and fastest iirt
 track performers are stored at these
 headquarters The thrilling and ave- inspiring game of auto polo is played with the spider-like mechanisms, that are now gently reposing in the tame
 location. The first engagement hat
 these machines participated in was a slx-weeks run at the Madison Square garden in New York, which speaks
 well of the popularity of the sport
 Hankinson has two teams represe 1ting America and England, which have rtr-
 formed not only in every state in the
 union, but also in almost every .oun-
 try in the western hemisphere, besides
 making tour of the orient. These
 teams appeared last year in 3e differ
 ent fairs and expositions, and have al-
 ready booked as many engagements
 for this season.

Sixteen Vols Haue Already Signed for
 the Coming Season

| Nashville, January 30.-(Special "A day or two ago it was announced that l four Vols had been signed and that the name on the dotted line, It's all wrong, mates Sixteen of em are ready and rarin' to go. It all came about this morning when Hub Perdue wandered into the clubhouse singing a little song. which ran some thing like this: Oh, Pat Reilly, I love you sol Having heard that MT. Reilly Is the prize exponent of indoor sports and presi- dent of the Royal Order of Secret Actfvl- ties and Associated Gunmen of Chicago, MT. Lillard was much cheered up and dove deep into the musty records of the past. When he came up for air he had a handful of them long-lost papers, which turned out to be contracts signed at the end of the 1920 playing season. There were 10 of them, and coupled with five obtained this season and the pen and ink mark of the Squash himself, it boosted the total of an even l6 Hence a great mystery as to why the Vols couldn't get 'em on the dotted line has been solved.
 The complete list of signed contracts now in the hands of the local moguls lines us as follows:
 Hub Perdue, manager and pitcher.
 Guy Dunning outfielder.
 Kitty Weldon, pitcher.
 Clyde Underwood, pitcher.
 r. R. Suter, catcher.
 Pete Kirby, pitcher.
 Bobby Reese, shortstop.
 Carl Burst, catcher.
 Lamon McDowell, outfielder.
 Speedy Propps, outhelder
 F.. l.. Stanfield. pitcher.
 Parson Lankenau, pitcher.
 Fred Lucas. pitcher.
 George Schmidt, shortstop.
 Frank Kane, third baseman.
 Jack James. outfielder.
 With the exception of Hub Perdue and the last five named in the list above the remaining players have been signed all winter.
 Hence the Vols are not In half as bad a condition in signing players as the fans have believed. In fact, the local club is several jumps ahead of most or the Southern league outfits.
 About 40 or 45 signatures will probably be obtained before the spring training season opens
