Some people read much, but do very
little thinking. They see the words
in print before them, but not the great
fundamental truths that inspire those
words.
The habit of reading is one Of IN
estimable value to the individual, but
it should not be carried beyond the
point where intelligent thought en-
dissect the subject and master the
secrets that are not otherwise reveal
ed.
Cramming the mind is like janming

Do you ever change your mind ?

Do you ever change your mind?
The stubborn man seldom changes
his. That is the reason why he is
known as stubborn one instead of as
a successful one.
Great minds are susceptible to
change upon submission of proof. Lit
tie ones are unable to grasp the proof
and therefore always remain little,
and in time become stubborn.
When a strong mind changes it is
invariably for the better. That makes
it even stronger, as the small one be-
comes smaller.

Reports From 100 Manufac-

The outstanding feature Of the
reports from nearly 100 manu-

ary is a slight upward tendency In
brick prices. This is noticeable
especially in the minimum prices
in the New York and New Eng.

and West Virginia district: the
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin dis
trict; the Ohio, Michigan and West
Virginia district; the Illinois. Indi.
ana and Wisconsin district, and the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Iowa, Kansas and Missouri district.
In some of these same districts
there has been a lowering OF the
maximum price, however, especially

a month ago certain grades were
selling at $40 per thousand. which
are this month reported at SIT.
common brick throughout the coun-
try has been stepping down month
by month. February IL the fiikt
period in which there has been any
tendency toward higher prices. An
increase from S12 to $14 in the
New England and New York dis
trict reflects to some extent the
conditions in the New York city
market. Brick Is not being moved
from plants to New York city by
water, and with the unusual build
Ing activity in New York during
the first two months of the new
year II has been necessary to ship
some brick by rail from Hudson
river plants. High freight rates
naturally have added to the "de.
livered on the Job" price. Through.
out the Northern-Central group of
States there has been a demand
exceeding that of any winter
months In the past three or four
years. The weather has been un-
usually favorable for operating
some plants and there is a most
hopeful feeling on the part of the
manufacturers In this section.
The developments in the industry
since the first Of the year are Of a
nature to encourage those engaged
in the manufacture of brick. In

terest at this time centers on the
proposed financial scheme Of the
Common Brick Manufacturers As
sociation OF America, which was
announced by Secretary Manager
Ralph p. Stoddard at the associa-
tons annual meeting In st.. Louis
recently. II 10 proposed to form a
corporation. the stock Of which will
be purchased by members Of the
association and the funds used to
purchase guaranteed second mort
cages upon new brick construction.
The corporation would operate
through existing financial institu.
tions throughout the country, such
as banks, building and loan associa
tions. and mortgage companies.
With proper safeguards the COM
pany would purchase a second mort.
gage from the company making the
home operation. The second mort.
gage funds would help to bridge the
gap between the ready funds OF the
builder and the total cost Of the
house. The working out of this plan
would make II an inducement to
every home builder to build with
hrick. The plan is looked upon with
favor by many of the leading brick
manufacturers OF the country and
the Executive Committee Of the
Association has the matter under
consideration with authority to ap.

not.
The operation of the cost plus
scheme during the war, when con-
tractors openly strived for low pro-
duction resulted In a great deal OF
unfavorable publicity regarding the
bricklayer. While the bricklayer
probably did not shirk more than
any other trades, he was handling
units which could easily be counted
and the attack seemed to center
on him. The national officers Of
the union have since that time
made every effort to bring the
bricklayer production back where II
should be. This Association has
made a thorough investigation
through contractors In various
parts Of the country and 10 assured
that the bricklayers never have
