BRICK MAKERS FAIL

Building activities in Washing

the point when brick manufac-

tering into building construction is

ception is common bricks. for which
prices are maintaining firmness.

Reports from New York are that

ALL FACTORS POINT
! TO AIN INCREASING
LEVEL OF COSTS
Cause Ascribed to Larger
Volume of General
Building.
WAGES ARE HIGH
Bases Opinion on Three I'm
portant Elements in
Erection Realm.

2 All factors point to a steadily in
creasing level of costs in the con-
struction Industries during the
Forthcoming year. according to
Building Topics" just issued by
Monks and Johnson, architects and
engineers. 1t Is pointed out that
average cost of materials has been
mounting steadily since March. the
Department of Labor's figures,
based on a base of the level CT 1919
as 100. having risen from 155 then
to 156 in April. 1s0 in May. 167 in
June and 10 in July. In all. a Is
point rise is registered for the four
months.
This increase in construction
costs is ascribed to the larger vol
ume of building that always ac-
companies an upward swing in the
business cycle. and secondly to the
coal strike.
Other Factors I'm Cost.
The other factor entering into
the cost of construction. it Is said
Is building trade wages.
Wages have stiffened during the
last six months considerably,
while the efficiency of labor. which
Increased perhaps 100 per cent from
the spring of 1920 to last winter,
shows signs Of slackening in the
face of increasing demand for help.
In concluding. Building Topics
states: 1T can be therefore clearly
seen that the first two elements o'
construction costs are increasing
and the third element. that of eff
cheney. Is not going to tend to
lower costs for the present.
There are three general fuctua-
tiOns in prices which are always in
operation. The first of these is the
very longtime trend. This Is a
slightly rising movement and has
been due in the past primarily To
the gradual increase in the amount
of gold and silver in the world.
a. slow and STEADY Fall.
The second trend in prices is the
slow and steady fall which has al
ways occurred after a war, and
which may be expected, through
historical analogy. during the next
twenty years. 1t is on this trend
that so many people are placing 6
their expectations Of lower prices
raSt year and the year after, but
while it is undoubtedly a fact that
this movement is now in operation,
there is a third element of price
fiUctuation which they may have
not taken into account.
This element is the normal bust
ness cycle. The business cycle ap-
pears to have fluctuated in normal
times with a period. roughly, of
from three I" four years between
peaks. We are now on an upward
movement in the present business
cycle. which began little time be-
fore the fir-t Of this present year.
i-nless some totally unexpected and
UItnward events prevent the nor
NAL upward movement Of the cycle.
p we should expect constantly i'm
proving business. constantly in
CECd ing demand. ami as a result
UpwarI movement of prices unIil

1T now costs Is per cent to 90
per cent more to build than it did
in the first Tart of March of this
year. We do not think it likely
that lower building costs will OBJ

As commanding in the open
wastes of the Transvaal as in the
drawing-room of an English manor,
Priscilla Dean surpasses her W
former screen selves in her latest
impersonation as Lady Vivienne Nh
the Universal-Jewel attraction,
wild Honey" based on the popu-
lar novel by Cynthia Stockley.
The role Is one without many
rivals among the super-humaDs
created by authors. Lady ''viv"
isn't any ordinary creature in any
sense. She has fire and spirit, dig
nifty and grace. Which means, of
course, that the role is that much
harder to enact, calling for all the
ability that has elevated Priscilla
Dean to leadership in the class of
vital. emotional artists.
Playing opposite Miss Dean is

agreeable personality. The two
