DUBLIN PEOPLE "JUMPY'
UNDER LONG WAR STRAIN
BY Charles M. Mccain,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Dublin, Jan. 15.-(By MaiD-Dub-
l;nites were "jumpy" today. After
long months of tension their nerves
reacted strangely to sudden sound or
unusual sight. 1t was not fear that
controlled them, but something like
the nervousness that might attack a
soldier long under fire, with allow
ances, of course, for the superior
schooling and discipline of the sol
dier.
The soldier, however, is playing a
part in the game. He, fights back.
Here in Dublin, the trace of fear that
may be found in some citizens IS the
danger, real or fancied, that they are
menaced as the quarry in the grim
game of hare and hounds govern
ment forces are playing with the re-
publicans.
After months of comparative free
dom from violence, Dublin again has
been a center for Sim Fem and gov
eminent activity and the result of the
campaign is plain to be seen IN the
lives of the residents. Although the
upper current of life flows almost as
smoothly as in the old days, there is
an undercurrent, strong and deadly.
There are daily shootings. Daily
the number of raids are increased.
Citizens are stopped on the streets
and searched for arms.
Daily the violence and death are
forgotten-apparently. Actually they
are always before the public, = :.

SPARKLING COMEDY
FULL OF LAUGHS

There is lots Of good FUN on tap at
the Grand theatre tonight. THE
Snob" is the attraction. 1t Is a
rollicking story Of college life with
all the pep" and Jazz" associated
with those halcyon days.
The production is Wanda Hawley's
latest starring vehicle for Realart
and in many ways it is her best. Ger
tainly the part OF the reformed Snob
fits her as IL made to order. There is
much interesting drama-and plenty
of fun in the scenes which change
her from an "up-stage" heiress to
the really human girl that's under
meath all her superciliousness.
William C"Babe") Lawrence Is
convincing as the collecjo football
hero whose job as waiter In the,
college commons starts all the
trouble. And OF course fat Walter
HERS as trouble flxer" IS 4 posi-
tive scream. This plump and popular
actor gets better with every appear
ance. This college boy role exceeds
even his previous work in "Oh, Lady
Lady" and Miss Hobbs"
HERS, however, is not the only
fat fun maker. Sylvia Ashton is pre-
sent to give her usual delightful i'm
personation Of a socially climbing,
newly-rich mother. Edwin Stevens,
well-known character man, plays op-
posite her in some very delicious do
nestle comedy business.
The story will be recalled as

There are several "shots" of an ex-
citing football game with all the COL

college campus stuff Is very true to
life, creating splendidly accurate
atmosphere. The college prom Is
clever scene which will be relished
by former college students. All OF
the vivacious, carefree life OF such
affairs is splendidly depicted.
"His First Tintype" two part

THERE never was time when we needed
buildings as badly as we need them now.
Rents are enormously high. Living
quarters are unsanitary and congested TO the
point where it would seem impossible tor
human beings to live in them.
Rents charged for ordinary habitations
drain the purses of the tenants until only the
the bare necessities of life are obtainable.
School houses are crowded to the point
where efficiency is no longer possible. In
many cities hundreds of children are prac-
tically deprived of school facilities and thus
handicapped for the rest of their lives. Pub
lie health is i'm danger because of the con-
9estion. There is much discomfort and
sickness.
" AND ALL BECAUSE OF THE
:S19&F OF BUILDING OPERA
1t might at first be assumed, that building
operations are now at standstll because
of the money shortage, but this is not exactly
true. There is surprisingly large amount
of money now available for the financing OF
buildings, if buildings did not cost so much.
! With LUMBER now selling at normal
prices it might appear buildings should cost
much less than they do, until it is disclosed
that LUMBER represents only about 80 per
cent O1 lue VOtd1 COSl VI u1c dVCAdeC OuAA>AAA6e
The reason for the continued high cost OF
building is due to the fact that the elements
entering into the remaining 20 per cent have
not returned to normal. a
For example, SO, 600 house (peak prices)
would now cost $500, as lumber has de-
clined in price approximately 40 per cent
(average). If the items representing the ~
Der cent had declined at the same rate, the
cost would be only $4,000! This is the
NORMAL value of the house, and built on
this basis it Immediately becomes safe
financing proposition for the man who now
has money to loan for such purposes.
Since the items representing the 20 per
cent have NOT returned to normal, the
present cost is about $500 and the prospec-
tive home builder absolutely refuses to go
ahead with the project. , i
b The 70 per cent in question is made up
of plumbing. heating, lighting, painting,
labor, etc.
The cost of labor is large item and until

The public has'decided not to buy mer-
chandise which is abnormally priced. 1t
