to the future of the city. but not only
that. 1t also indicates that in the judg-
ment OF the majority this year is the
iopportune time to build. According
to'a general average as given by ar
chitects. builders and lumber men of
this city. the price Of building has
decreased about "a per cent from the
peak Of high prices In 1890, and what
building material. are beginning to
slowly rise. showing that the low leyel
has been reached. There is a reason
for this. AT; no time in the history
of the country has there been more
building than right now, and indica-
lions are that 1t will increase. The,
high record was in March, 1892, when
1855 million building permits were is
med IN tho United States for struc-
lures valued at $685., 2s3.34b. The
nearest to, this was in. April. 1920,
when 1928 million permits were issued.
This would indicate that firms selling

cation or with physical well-being.
was represented.
In his address Of welcome, Secre-
tary Weeks said:
National defense il the underly-
ing topic Of this conference. We
are assembled to consider the men
tai, moral and physical fitness Of
our people and to plan how We can
all work together more intelligent
ly and effectively to attain our
common purpose-better citizen
ship. We are interested. primarily
in the oncoming generation, for on
them certainly rests the future OF
our nation, and perhaps in a larg-
! er sense than we may realize at
/! this moment, the future Of our civ
/ ilixation and the world.
1.-The now familiar statistics OF
the draft, confirmed by numerous
other studies, indicate that about
i half Of our population is physically
subnormal. You can imagine the
] possible effect of such condition
on q nation waging a war for its
life with all the hardships and pfi,
vations which would CALI for a
maximum physical effort Id with.
| out the support Of allies to\ustair
it.
National health is so fundamen
tai that it can be taken as fairly
good index OF the virility Of a ma
tion. Sound physical training be-
ginning with the grammar schools
and continuing through the univer
stiles would have an effect for thu
betterment of the next generator
and the future Of the nation.
I'VE are deeply interested, also
in another vital factor in nationa
strength-the attitude Of the citi
zen toward the nation. In crisis
such as existed during the World
war, nothing surpasses the self
forEetful devotion to country whicl
is evidenced by our citizenship. bu
in times of peace disturbing fact
clearly indicate that. lacking
crisis, the average citizen is no
keenly interested in the nauona
welfare.
| The fundamental problem o
/ this conference is now before you
1t is obvious that national defens
is not a remote activity which give
employment to relatively small

URGES Law TO CURB
RUSSIAN DRINKING

Riga.-M. Semaskho, the Soviet
commissar Of health, has issued q
plea for the moderation Of drink
ing IN Russia. particularly among
the peasant class, according to in
formation reaching Riga.
In Russia the real subject for
discussion should be Drunkenness ,
he says, mot . moderate consump-
ton OF spirits, as is known In
Europe, but the sporadic drinking
Of very great quantities Of strong
liquor"
The commissar places the blame
for present conditions partly ON re-
ligious customs, which provide the
people with a great number Of fes-
tivals as an excuse for drinking,
and partly ON the bourgeoisie, who
drive the poor man to drunkenness
he says. He does not advocate total
abstinence, but urges the state tc
adopt moderation measures.
Other information on this same
subject sets forth that the TomsA
government has decided to rein
troduce. as . state monopoly, the
sale Of vodka containing 50 per.
cent alcohol. The fight against II.
licit distilling In Tomsk does moi
appear to have beea successful, Al
the people are IN sympathy with the
mooushiners."
