The street across the river known
as Caudill Avenue is now completely
surfaced with concrete, and what a
difterencei Where beforetime was
mud and rocks, more mud and bad
holes, there is now an unbroken line
OF beautiful cement paving. The only
fly in the ointment Is the fact that
some $50 yards at the end OF the
street, where II fails to connect with
the County road is still a horrible
piece of road--as bad as may be
wished for anywhere. From what
can be gathered there is a dispute as
to whether this stretch belongs to
the city or county and, as conse-
quence, II is a piece OF orphaned
road no ood to anyone. It is hoped
that an amicable arrangement will
be arrived at either for mecadamiz-
ing or cementing this blank (some
use stronger language) stretch of
road. so that It may not remain as
a weak link In the system. We feel
sure that this will be done.

TUBERCULOSIS DECREASING

Compilation of figures Just COM
pleted shows that pneumonia and
tuberculosis, two of the diseases
which formerly were responsible
for the most deaths in Kentucky,
had fewer victims in 1921 than in
any year since the establishment of
the State Board of Health's Bureau
of Vital Statistics, ]. F. Blackerby,
Registrar of Vital Statistics, announ-
ced here today
AS a result of this reduction, from
1904 to 1922 per 100000 in the
case of tuberculosis, Kentucky,
according to Mr. Blackerby, probably
will climb out of its unenviable
position as the third State in which
most deaths are caused by tubercu-
losis. The reduction in the pneu-
monia death rate from 117.5 in 1920
to S4.4 in 1921.

make more rapid and consistent growth just as

Babson and Hoover are reliable. They know
what they are talking about The business mag
azines are reliable. And every day. from these
three sources, comes the news that building prices
are away down, mark you
But Babson is in the east, Hoover is in Wash
ington, and the business magazines are in Chi
cago, Philadelphia, other of the larger cities.
Perhaps their facts pertain only to those centers!
Ask the South Bend merchants, business men,
dealers.-the men whom you have known and
dealt with for many years perhaps them
how building prices compare with the building
prices Of few months or few years ago. Put
the question up frankly to them. Do this and
there will be real building boom in South Bend
for building prices ARE down and away down!
Call on any Of the lumber companies and you
will discover that lumber is down. Roofing con-
tractors will prove by bids that roofing prices are
low. Painting contractors will give you lower
bids painting jobs. Wall paper is lower in
price. Sheet metal work is down. Electrical
equipment and wiring are lower General con-
tractors take work on smaller margin than they
did year ago. The price of building brick is
down. Plumbing work has been reduced. New

The Strike Situation

The railroad presidents are re-
ported to have rejected the plan
Of settlement offered by Presi-
dent Harding. If they persist,
other crafts are sure to come out
until there is complete tie-up.
However, it seems, that the
whole situation is involved in q
campaign of falsehood. If other
sections where trouble is report
ed have been lied about and on,
as has this, there is absolutely
no dependence to be put in the
reports found in the daily press.
If the railroads are inspiring
this stuff they are damaging
their own cause by the most
effectual means. For if they
will lie about one thing they will
lie about anything.
