numbering 81, were luncheon visitors
at the hotel, and expressed them
selves both amazed and delighted to
find hotel as beautiful as the San
Marcos and with the metropolitan
service given by it.
A decidedly unique entertainment
was given in the music room or the
San Marcos on Friday evening before
the regular dinner dance. This was
a. picture music recital given by
Branson de Cou which was very
successful attempt to visualize the
moods and music Of great composers
by means Of exquisite color views OF
landscapes slowly dissolving on the
screen.
For example, Rachmaninoff's G
Sharp Minor Prelude is interpreted
by colored representations OF the
Grand canyon, showing the change OF
light and color with the coming OF
storm, the local showers and forma-
ton of a rainbow, the brilliancy of
sunset fading into the soft enchant-
ment of moonlight vistas, all in per-
feet rhythm with the accompanying
music.
1t is the habit of San Marcos din
ner dances to be most enjoyable oc-
| casions. The one Friday night was
no exception, the coming golf tour
nament bringing in many players be-
sides the usual guests of the hotel
| and Phoenix visitors over for the
evening.

Naturally ths more rapidly the line Of
building cost drops 10 meet the curve OF
ssabilization as indicated the greater Wlll De
the volume OF construction.
If the demand for new buildings should
suddenly be made active by the letting Of a
great number OF contracts, building costs
would rise again and pass out of the zone Of
stabilization at which time the volume OF
building construction would fall off alarm
ingly This would be the result OF quick
boom in building. and under present con-
ditlons such a boom would be very much 70
the disadvantage OF every branch OF the
building industry.
There viii be no such boom, however. be-
cause as a matter OF fact there is not sufh-
cient financing available to make 1t possible.
More Financing Being Provided
AS the cost OF building approaches the
curve Of stabilization, il will be noted that
more and more financing is being provided;
first because the demand is greater. but
principally because buildings under this con-
dition offer better securities for loans.

a reviving building situation. These are,
first speculative buildings, particularly in
the apartment house field. where quick re-
sales to Investors who wish TO take advan-
tage Of existing high rentals may be ex-
pected.
Second, institutional buildings, which must
be constructed TO meet definite shortage
and the financing Of which is carried out
through benevolent or governmental chan
nels not necessarily forced by an investors
viewpoint to wait for future reductions IN
cost.
Third, public buildings which are provided
on the same basis.
Residential Construction Booming
Fourth, an inexpensive class Of residential
building by future owners and by specula-
tors, where the reduction In cost from the
peak Of 1870 has been great enough TO allow
the building Of houses of this nature within
the financial reach OF a fair proportion OF
those desirous of owning homes and tired Of
paying exorbitant rentals.
These are the types Of buildings on which

Pr..ent BuIIdinr situation

The situation today is that within the last
three or four months the line indicating
building costs has actually entered this zone
Of stabilixation. Consequently, we fnd a
considerable increase during that period in
the volume OF money actually being expend-
ed in the building field. The building opera
tions which at this period are swelling the
quota include exactly the types of buildings
and classes Of investors which might be an
ticipated as the first TO function actively in

rnsnt, It win bs seen that this curve Of sta
biixation has been established with grad
ual slope to meet the probable normal cost
OF building. About this curve has been
drawn an area indicating the zone of sta
bilization, which really represents the area
on the cost chart IN which activity may be
expected in proportion TO the approach or
withdrawal OF the line OF building costs 20
the curve OF stabilization, and increasing
greatly in volume as this area narrows down

probable normal line.

Having established tho zone and curve Of
stabiliZation. the important question is the
future trend Of the building cost line. VIII
IL stay within the zone of stabiiEation as
time passes7 If 1t does, A constantly in
creasing volume OF building construction
may be anticipated.
II is firmly believed that this line will,
with certain deviations approach more and
more closely to the curve Of stabilization as
indicated. We look TO a consideration OF
labor as an important element in this situa-
tion. and what do we find? We find the in
tellgent labor leaders working definitely
toward a fair adjustment OF labor costs, hav-
ing In mind greater volume OF construction
which will mean more permanent employ
ment for members OF organized labor bodies
in the building hcld. and consequently a
higher average daily rate over the entire
year than may be expected through short
terms OF employment at prohibitive rates.
We find that where the labor leaders are not
accepting this condition the force OF public
opinion demands this acceptance.

IN SENATE RACE
Democratic Candidate De.

OId-Time Religion.
Tenn, Aug.

38,a NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. l.
8CBy The Associated Press 80
When the voters of Tennessee go
to the polls tom orrow to cast their
ballots for candidates in the pri-
maries they will find on the ticket
for the senatorial nomination in
the Democratic party the name of
Noah w. Cooper. Mr.. Cooper, in
his own words, is mot running in
this race for the senate against
anybody but Satan and all his
works.
1--WE have such a big job in
America to beat the devilithat we
have but little time to fight each
other" Mr.$Cooper declared in
speeches delivered at Tennessee
audiences. His platform, he told
the voters "is but a part of the old
time religion which Kept America
in partnership with God and
which must be put into our
national life to save us from
ruin" He advocated use of the
Golden Rule as the solution for
Industrial problems.
Mr.. Cooper said that if elected
he would carry to the United
States Senate ninety-six gourds,
similar to the Gourd Of Right
eousness'' given him by mem bers
of the Women''s Christian Tenn
perance Union as a symbol OF
their wish that we might all join
hands and hearts and votes to
help America quit drinking with
Satan from the poison pots OF
death and to drink anew with the
God of our fathers from the heal
ing fountains Of eternal truths.
There will be one for every
Senator the candidate an
nounced. TT will remind them
that we must get right with God
in order to get right with each
other and bind the world In uni
5versal brotherhood.
Mr.. Cooper opposed war as ian
insult to Christianity" and urged
strict observance of the Sabbath.
America was born and bred a
Sabbath keping nation, he de-
clared. "All our early customs
and laws provided that all govern
ment and ndustrial business for
profit should stop on Sunday.
Upon that diet our nation grew
great. But now America has be-
come a Sabbath breaking nation.

our nation is practically licensing

Commerce, and it is just as sure

enough to stop it. The Bible tells
us over and over that the prostitu-
ton of the Sabbath to unholy
purposes will bring foods wrath
upon any nation. Israel, France
