oil Of tobacco in cigars. This is a
mistake. The oil is there and is no
more burnt away or eyaporated than
in a pipe 1t is drawn to and con

Despite Obstacles Industry d
Able to Satisfy Builders
" Demands.

The most striking feature Of this
months report is that in spite OF
great obstacles and much discour.
agemeht the brick industry has, by
Herculean efforts, kept up fits vol.
ume Of production surprisingly well.
This was necessary to satisfy the
vigorous and sustained demand tor
brick. The principal advere factors
are the mounting cost ard scarcity
OF coal, unsatisfactory transporta.
ton conditions and in some local.
ties scarcity Of labor.
Meanwhile there has been only q
slight increase in the average price
OF brick. A little short Of one hun
dred and twelve million brick were
produced by ninety-four manufac.
turers In the month reported, as
against one hundred and six million
produced the month before by
ninety-five manufacturers.
II present conditions continue
much longer. the brick industry and
building generally must be disturbed
In ever increasing ratio. While coal
is now being mined in many dis
tricts, transportation is not satisfac.
tory, four out of the ten shutdowns
reported being because of the lack
OF coal. In addition, five more plants
report that they must close shortly
for this reason.
The surest indication that under.
lying economic conditions are funda.
mentally sound 10 shown by the
great volume Of building contracts
now being let In spite Of unsettled
conditions; and Il In to behoped that
the rail and coal difficulties will te
disposed Of before they adversely
affect the construction industry
more seriously than now.
The building industry is the key
industry Of the nation and 1t 10 to b
regretted that this fact is not more
widely recognized, especially by
many who WELD considerable In
fluence in forming public opinion
When homes and other buildings
are under way, the basic industriei
such as brick lumber, and cement
are active, together with the thou

ing industry quickens surprisingly
large group OF industries and benefits
rnyriads Of people who hardly realize
that their prosperity or otherwise is
largely related 10 the question Of
whether or not the builders have
been busy. II Is therefore to he
hoped that II present conditions
should unfortunately require some
restriction of transportation before
they are settled. that such regula'
tions should bear as lightly as pos
sible upon the transport Of building
materials. The less building Is
interfered with. the less will our gen

fected. In the past construction has
not had as much consideration Js

is hoped that the Government and
railroads now have a better apprecla'
