COST OF A HOME


The cost Of building dwelling
house at this time is little less than
four-fifths as much as would have
been the cost Just two years ago, and
is almost twice ms much as II would
have been In 1914, prices Of labor
and material being taken into con-
sideration. These estimates are
based on figures obtained and cal
culations made by the Chemical Ma
tional Bank New York; and pub
lished in the Chemical Bulletin.
During the war building Of all
kind was halted. Buildings became
scarce. especially dwelling houses,
and then materials advanced so fast
and so high that those who would
have liked TO build to escape the high
rents they were compelled to pay
were restrained from building homes
by the excessive costs. Many of them
might much better have paid the prize
for home than have paid out the
rents they had TO pay.
While there has been a great deal
of building during the last year or
so, dwelling houses are yet scarce
and the building of homes is being
seriously considered by many rent
ers. II is natural they were interest
ed in knowing whether to look for
further declines IL is stated, as a
result of the banks survey, that
building costs may decline still fur
ther, yet il is not probable that dras-
tic>declines will occur.
Wholesale prices, as measured by
the index number Of the United
States Bureau of Labor statistics.
seem TO be stabilized at level about
50 per cent above the prewar per-
iod Building costs are above this
level but many Of the elements which
bulk large in building costs, such as
freight rates and wage rates. are less
susceptible to downward revision
than are commodity prices - general.
The general housing shortage and
the increasing volume Of building at
present price levels are factors which
serve % strengthen building material
prices. according to the banks sur
vey.
The trends Of general commodity
prices was upward between 1886 and
1920 and building costs followed the
general course. The increase was
gradual until 1915, with short down
ward swing during the years of 1904
1908, 1911 and 1914. but a rapid
rise hogan in 1915 and was further
accelerated in 1919 and 1920. Then
slow recession began. The increase
in construction costs is claimed 20
have been due chiefly TO increase In
material costs and only partially to
higher labor costs. ~ Fort Worth
Record.
The world is away behind with
home building. and there is much
need for a revival Of this line OF inn
provement all over the United States.
There is enough home building need
ed to keep every carpenter, painter,
brick mason. paper hanger and all
other class Of workmen busy for two
or three years. II the people will just
get il out Of their heads that THEY are
not going 70 starve, and turn their
money loose instead Of boarding it
up, where il does nobody any good.
Turn loose now and build all the
homes possible. Don't wait till the
rush, for labor and materials Of all
kinds will rise in price and make
building more expensive. Don't wait
till everybody is doing it to begin,
but build now, and supply the de-
mand for more homes in Lubbock.

FALSE RUMORS

Rumors are being circulated that If the school
bonds are voted, the present high school would be
torn down and all money used for a new high school
building and that no ward schools would be built at
all How utterly foolish this is. and why people are
small to start such propaganda is more than we
can understand We have perfectly competent
school board and will do exactly what the petition
for these bonds states will be done The petition for
the school bonds states just what these bonds to
be voted for. and be used for other purpose.
Members OF the school board have declared them
selves that the present school building will not be
torn down. and that the money raised by the school
board will be invested in buildings just the peti-
ton states Let's not knock on our school propo-
sition. but let everybody get in behind the school
board for better schools

CARPENTER MAY NEVER
FIGHT AGAIN" 1T IS SAID

Dispatches from Paris announce
that Carpenter. the French figher
who met Dempsey in the United
States last July, will probably never
be himself again.

received in Jersey City last summer.
Any one who has seen the notion
pictures of the CArpentler-Dempsey
fight will not be surprised at this an
nouncement. Constantly during the
fight Dempsey's arm flashes up and
down over his opponents kidneys:
The kind Of punishment the defeated
man received in that battle 10 the
kind that Ehortens life by years and
leaves broken health while life re-
mains.
Boxing IL one thing-prize fighting
is another. And for sheer brutality
prize fighting as conducted in the
United States al the present time IL
hard to equal.
The fact that Carpenter may new
or fight again. will be Of little con-
Germ to a lot of people, but Il does
bring out one point that should be
forcefully driven home, and that Is
that prize fighting Is brutal, and its
practice should be entirely stamped
out. Its influence il damnable. and
tears down the work Of the churches.
and the morals Of the nation. The
United States should prohibit i en-

Uncommon Sense
BY JOHN BLAKE
BASED ON EXPERIENCE

TT Is decision or the lack of it that
makes the difference between first
class and second class men.
No man is fit to command an army
or even a company of infantry unless
he has decision.
Hesitation in time OF war is fatal.
1t Is dangerous and destructive in
times OF peace.
No man can always make up his
mind quickly and be sure he is right
every time.
But the man who does this Oftenest,
is the man who gets furthest in the
world.
All important leaders of action or
thought are men OF decision.
This Is particularly true of execu-
tiyes, who have many men under them.
To such men hesitation means lost
time--hundreds of hours Of it, and
is not TO be tolerated.
But be very careful, in cultivating
decision, TO base it on experience.
Ii will be anything but an advantage
to be able TO make up your mind
quickly if you make it up wrong every
time ~
Neither You nor ] would be able 10
decide instantly between two reports
of engineers as TO the best course
10 run railroad.
A railroad president or general
manager who was worth his salt could
decide very shortly.
He could do so because years of ex-
perience would have taught him how 10
weigh the question, and to decide for
the combination that meant the easiest
grades and the most traffic.
But we can. or at least ought to, be
able 10 decide our own problems with
out much waste of tif1c.
We ought not to hesitate more than
half an hour over the choice of suit
OF clothes. or more than ten seconds
over the choice of a necktie.
Yet even 10 make trivial choices
such as these, requires a knowledge Of
ourselves, which is not lightly ac-
CURED.
Learn to decide. for decision means
efficiency. But learn to decide right.
Base decision on thought and expert
ence, and it is not very likely to go
wrong.

Something to
Think Ab0uf
DEPENDENT ON OTHERS
Tvo PEOPLE who harbor the
By r. II. WALKER

SYvO PEOPLE who harbor the
foolish idea that they are not
dependent on others, there is
sure to come at some period of their
existence rude awakening.
And this is true of everybody, the
man or woman with five talents and
those with but one talent. 1t is true
OF you!
il is lnmaterial how able you may
be, how much money you may have,
or how exalted you may be, you will.
as you 60 through life. eventually dis
cover that, aside from your ability
and wealth, you are largely dependent
on others for most of your daily COM
forts and happiness.
Argue this as you may from the alb
stract to the real, and turn back
again 70 the beginning, you will find
that your dependence on others is
one OF the most incontestable facts
in the world.
And it is only when You soberly
ask yourself why, that the truth
comes with overwhelming force.
Self-dependence will not endure
logical scrutiny.
Ii cannot stand the simple test Of
common sense.
From birth till death, men and
women of every degree are dependent
Oh one another, forced by a natural
law TO rely on one another for support
and favor.
Everything worth having comes
from others.
Love, companiOnship, power and
fame are the priceless gifts bestowed
upon you by the kindly hearts and
generous hands of those who are travel
ing beside you through rfe'S sunshine
and shadows.
And you, whether aware of it or
not, are giving something of which
you are possessed to weld a link in
this endless chain of dependence, be
ing constantly beaten into new form
and character on the anvil of Time.
Those who should understand each
other with fulnesS impossible other
wise. should make daily notes of their
inability 10 help or provide them
selves without outside assistance.
These notes may pain sharply as
they are set down in long rows, hut If
they are studied in the right spirit.
they will soon sweeien the bitterness
in the soul and allay the rancor.
Indeed. if this should be done regu-
larly, with goodwill towards all man
kind. the world will soon become a
better place TO live in. the needless
animosities between man and nations
| would cease. and All hearts would
beat happily in spiritual harmony.

w Of a woman short nails COM
bined with the following charac-
teristics:
The line of the heart (the upper Of
the two lines crossing the palm hori-
zontally) is short, and the head line
underneath ii is straight and inclined
to turn UP toward the finger of Mar-
curry, the little finger. The mount of
Mercury is fat and covered with lines.
and the mounts of the moon and OF
Mars (at the outside of the edge of
rhe palm) are high. The joints OF the
hand TOE very plainly visible.
These are the marks of woman
of harsh disposition and quarrelsone
nature, and they are made more strong
by the shortness of the nails. For a
confirmation of this sign of quarrel
someness, consult the triangle formed
by the line of life. the line Of the, head
and the line of health. If there is a
decided cross TO be perceived in this
triangle. we may say with fairly good
assurance that the disposition of the
possessor is pugnacious and quarrel
some.
