GREAT BUILDING BOOM
NOW ON IN MEMPHIS
600 Houses Worth 100000 Have
Been Erected Since January 1.

Memphis.-Never in the entire his
tory of Memphis has there been such
BODYBUILDING boom. Folks, old and
young, black and white, are building
their own nests and letting the rent
hog GO, hang"
According to authentic figures, Men,
phis is leading the entire nation in
BODYBUILDING. Atlanta Is close sec
ond-but second.
During the past six months five
loan Columbia Mortgage
company, Marx & Bensdorf, North
Memphis Savings bank, S. M. Will
hanson & Co. and the Equitable Loan
associatfon-have loaned homebuild-
ers more than $4,00O,000. Actual fig
ures show that these five concerns
loaned $1,S70,460 from Dec. 10 to
March II.
And there's many smaller concerns
loaning money for building purposes,
including banks.
Markets are bullish, and the price
of building materials has jumped
about Is per cent in the past three
months. This situation, however,
fails to phase prospective homebuild-
ers. Preparations go on. Homes
are springing up like toadstools In .
cool swamp.
Comparing building figures for the
past six months with the six months
previous shows that building has
more than doubled.

The Best Mans Toast.

At the club last night the business
girl was the center Of a group of
interested listeners. Fragments Of con-
versation containing the words "brides-
maids simply adorable" wonder
full house." pearls" Japan" floated
over to the Woman and induced her
to put down the magazine and I'M
blushingly seat herself on the Ches-
terfield directly behind the animated
Narrator, just in time to hear her de-
scription Of the best man.
"He was very good looking though
rather conceited, and In responding to
the bridesmaids toast said: All
through our school and college days
the groom and have been the best
Of friends. In games and sports /
have usually beaten him out, but in
this great race for bride the better
man has won, and I'm sure he's wei
come to her. OF course the poor thing
meant to say: I'm sure he's worthy Of
her. But he can never, never explain
1t away, and the bride says she GER
tainly won't invite him to another
wedding of hers!"

Athens.-A note sent by the Greek
government to the allies respecting
the intentions of Greece in Asia Minor
emphasizes the view that the occu.
patton Of Constantinople is the only
means of bringing about peace, and
says Greece has made arrangements
with that purpose in view.
The note begs the allies to issue the
necessary orders to the army OF Brig.
sdier Gen. Sir Charles Harrington, COM
mander OF the allied forces in Constan.
tinople, and says it is confident diff
culties will not be imposed in the way
of Greece. The note adds that by the
naturalization OF Constantinople the
allies are protecting, instead of coerc.
ing Turkey, and thus depriving Greece
OF means for imposing peace.
The Turkish atrocities, the note con.
tinues. make 1t vital for Greece to
adopt more energetic measures against
the Turks, but adds that the Greek
government is willing to discuss the
matter with the allies.
Gen. Harington's declaration that he
will oppose by force any move toward
Constantinople has caused deep disap.
pointment In Greece.
The drachma fell to nearly 30 to the
dollar.
The Greek army OF 100000 men In
Asia Minor, Macedonia and Thrase is
costing 100000 monthly. 1t is real.
lied that this expenditure cannot be
kept up indefinitely.
The steadily increasing cost of liv-
ing, the continued calling to the col
ors Of bread-winning families and the
failure OF the government to secure
financial assistance aborad are caus.
ing financial discomfort among the
populace generally, who are war-weary
after tens years Of almost continuous
strife.
The feeling seems to prevail
that the government has been driven
to a desperate expedient, and ma
jority of the people apparently are dis
posed to loyalty support 1t.

Washington. - President Harding s
plan for reopening the mines under
the protection of state governments
failed during the first week of its trial
to bring about any appreciate in
crease In the production of coal, the
United States geological survey of the
department of the interior reported Of
ficially.
The survey reported that approx
mately 100000 tons were mined the
past week, as compared with 3,70000
tons the week preceding. This in.
crease of 100000 tons a week since
the president directed the reopening
of the mines is only partly attribute
BILE to his order, the survey stated.
In the strongly organized districts
there has been no indication of an
increased production under the presi-
dents plan.
The surveys figures reveal the
startling decrease in coal production
due to the mine and rail strikes.
Normally, the United States would
be prodncng from 100000 to 12,000,-
900 tons at this period of the year.
officials of the department of COM
merce estimated that the coal reserve,
which was about 65,OO0,00O tons when
the strike began, is now down under
100000 tons and will be virtually
exhausted unless mining is resumed
within two weeks.
Because OF this critical coal situa.
ton, Secretary Hoover, as chairman of
President Harding's fuel distribution
committee, announced a ban on the
expectation of coal and strict limita.
tions on the use OF 1t for bunkering
ships. He also warned Canada that
1t should seek supplies from other
countries than the United States.
In a statement Hoover outlined the
governments plan for preventing prof
iteering and controlling the distribu-
ton Of coal during the present short
age.
