 Maria Wickwyre, of the Five Towns, emerged from muddy Bom- bazine Lane and stood in the rain and wind at Pie Corner. eighty-four yards from the door of St. Jude's chapel, in the Strand. She was in London. Yes, she was on that spot, she and none other. It might have been somebody else. But it wasn [. Wonderful! The miracle of Life overcame her.
 She had arms. Two of them. They were big and round. hke herself One held a large parcel Ca package, for the American edition); the other, an umbrella. She also had two legs. She stood on them. If they had been absent or if they had weakened, she would have collapsed. But they held her up. An the mysteries of ex- istencel More than ever was she conscious of her firm, strong under pinning Maria waved her umbrella and her parcel and stopped a bus. The driver was wrinkled, elderly and weather beaten. Maria got in and rode six furlongs and some yards to Mooge Road. and then she stopped the bus to get out.
 If she was conscious of her upper members and their changes she was still more conscious of her lower ones. If she had her parcel and her umbrella to think about, she also had her stockings and her petticoats to consider. The wind blew, the rain drizzled, the driver looked around wondering why Maria didn't get out and have done with it.
 If he should see them!" she easped. (You know what she meant by "them.") Her round, broad face mutely implored the 'busman to look the other way.
 He wearily closed his eyes He had been rumbling through the Strand for thirty years. Tor, num- he said, legs ain't no treat to me.G Maria collapsed after all, and took the 4:29 for home that same after noon

Building Operations

That the country is going about the solution of the vexing housing problem in the only practical and effective way-by building more houses Is oent from data gathered by the Manufacturers Record It is shown that in the week ending April 1s permits issued fifteen southern towns within the region the Ohio and as far west as Texas for dwellings apartment houses involv ing an expenditure of almost $2,000,000. Contracts amounting to than s3ooooO had been awarded that week.
 There is included in this list no permits tracts for dwelling houses costing less than s1oooO A $1oooo dwelling house is rather rarity where Probably of houses costing from s25oo to s5ooo erected every that costs as much as $10,0Oo
 That section of the country chosen the collection of this data, because houses sorely needed there than elsewhere, because money is available there. but because of the season building operations nearly ready to be undertaken there
 The Manufacturers Records figures show steady increase week by week of building permits and contracts awarded for dwelling and apartment houses.
 The extent of the increase in building en- Eagements in the larger cities most of which were not included in the foregoing statements of con tempated improvements in the fifteen towns. is shown the following cities which in March each issued building permits in excess of $1.o00 900: Atlanta, Baltimore. Dallas, Kansas City. Richmond Oklahoma City and Washington, D. c. Dallas build ing permits from sf.269710 in February to $1,503349 March, while Richmond increased to sf.os2s11 from $s47 in February. Similarly, Kan sas City building permits valuation increased from $sess50 February $lo37so0 during the month just ended. The valuation of permits issued in Washington was s1,7142s4, compared with s626O26 for February.
 The summary for the week shows engagements for contemplated improvements including dwelling and apartment houses business, school and church buildings roads and miscellaneous enterprises. in southern territory amounting to $22001923
 Much of this work is undertaken to make up for time because the exigencies of the though throughout the country great deal of building done last year notwithstanding high and the high price building material
 Y The Record says: "The various counties. cities and states beginning realize that the best and most profitable time to undertake construction jects is when labor is plentiful and materials be obtained without any great difficulty at attractive prices and without necessitating competition against individual builders and contractors labor and materials. By starting these jobs work is pro- vided for many who might otherwise be unemployed. and it has found in number of instances that public work be carried forward under present conditions greatly decreased cost"
