South Windsor Posse Seeking Nfrs.
 Bissell Who Has Not Been Home
 Since Tuesday.
 South Windsor, Aug. 17.-A posse of ls men under the direction of Constable Donald Johnson is securing the woods and swamps in this town in | search for Mrs. Bissell. s1 years old, who disappeared Tuesday when she went on | vain search for cattle that had broken from their pasture.
 No trace of the woman has as yet been found ard 1t is believed that she became exhausted while wander ing through Mapping woods and that she lost track of the direction of her home.
 Growing directly out of her disap- pearance Walter Green, her son, 50 years old, with whom che lived. was arrested today on a complaint of the humane society and charged with neglecting his cattle. The society claims that insufficient water caused the cattle to break from their pasture which in turned caused Mrs Bissell to set out on a search for them.
 The aged woman wandered through the woods and swamps here all Sun- day niEht. She returned Monday morning and again set out. When she had not returned Tuesday after noon the authorities were notifed. Her son, meanwhile. was at a Ahore resort.

WOMEN TO MEET
To Make Final Preparations for Lith- uanian Tag Day in This City satur- day-Public's Support Asked.

The ladies of St. Andrews church will meet in the parish hall at 8 o'clock this evening to make final preparations for the Lithuanian tag day Saturday
 A large number of the young wom- en of the parish have signifed their willingness to sell tags on the streets and if the support of the public of the city Is given, the affair will be success.
 The attention of the public is called by Rev. F. V. Grikis to a pamphlet describing conditions in Lithuania which has been published recently It states that there is a great deal of suffering going on in the new republic. and there is great need there of assistance. The local committee knowing the generosity of the people of this city in other mer- ciful and charitable works, issues an appeal to the commonwealth to sup port the tag day Saturday, in order that some aid might be given to the poor of the country which was re- gently recognized by the United States

was costing nearly $270 six years

'~ ~~'o 'S later.
 Rents were advancing much more slowly during the same pe- riod. While the average unit of building cost was rising from $l00 to nearly s270, the average unit of rental was progressing from $100 to about $160.
 These comparisons, founded on figures drawn from the entire country, represent national aver ages. There were variations in given sections both above and be. low the figures quoted.
 In the latter part of 1920 tho costs of construction k'gan to de- cline. The fall continued sharply throughout 1921. We find now, in 1922, that rents and building costs are once more in almost their normal relation. The time has come again when a man may in- vest money in building and expect fair return on his investment.
 There is every reason to believe that this condition will continue indefinitely, and that the next five years will witness unparalleled building activity as the country labors to make up it's deficit in stores and residences. For the man who is skilled in the building trades, there will be continuous and profitable employment for years to come.

THE building boom that is sweep

THE building boom that IS sweep \ ing the country follows logi- cally in the wake of falling costs of construction. Prevailing rent rates are again bearing a just ratio to the cost of building, and the erection of new stores and residences is once more . profit able investment. These facts are clearly shown by statistical studies recently completed by group of nationally known economists.
 The chart shown above demon- strates graphically the reasons back of the $2,000,000,000 build ing shortage which the country is now beginning to make up with new construction. At the end of 1914 the costs of building began to soar. Rents rose, too, but not last enough to offer fair return ,n the price of new buildings. The .rection of stores and residences became a poor investment. Few persons were willing to risk their capital in vetures offering no pros pect of adequate dividends. This condition continued from 1915 un- til almost the beginning of this year.
 The "peak" of construction costs came in 1920. For purposes of comparison, the price level of 1914 is placed at "100." It will be noted that the curve in 1920 approached "270." In other words, work that had cost $100 in 1914
