that prices have continued to rise steadily after the entire industry has been endangered. In the present. situation, with vol ume of building at the maximum ana all building industries working full time, there is virtually no competition and no factor of restraint on soaring prices.
 Unless the situation can be brought strikingly to the industrys attentioh and deflation begun berore the publ,y declares building strike, the whole industry, government authorities state, is in danger of walking over a precipice.
 A builders strike, with sudden gen. eral cessation of building, would cause the whole industry to bring up on the rocks,
 A sample of what is ahead if prices keep going higher will be provided, therefore. as an illustration to the in- fdustry, by suspending government construction work.

U. PROTESTS HIGH
 COSTS OF BUILDING
Government Plans to Hold Up
 Construction for Present
BY HARRY HUNT, NEA Staff Correspondent
Copyright. 1923, NEA Service. Inc,

| Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.) Washington, March 17.-uncle Sam is going on strike against soaring prices in the building trades. Fol lowing an investigation extending over many weeks, in which facts gathered indicate great imitation in building costs, authorities in control of gov- ernment work are preparing a report to the president recommending all government construction work be stopped until costs are deflated at least to the level of one year ago
 Figures on hand show cost of a brick house today is 10 per cent high CT than in January 1922; that a frame building todays costs 14 per cent more tha none year ago, and that factory construction costs are 29 per cent above January, 1922.
 As compared to pre-war costs, brick houses are up 195 per cent, frame 199 per cent and factory build- ings 196 per cent,
 Serious Factor in 1923 Outlook.
 The unhealthy condition in the building trades, due to imitation, is de- clared to be the one serious situation in the outlook for 1923.
 Unless the imitation can be curbed, it is feared another general strike by the building public will result with the stoppage of virtually all construc- tion work. This would bring hard ship to the whole manufacturing and industrial structure.
 The calling off of all government construction work will be recommend ed as the best means of checking fur ther imitation and at the same time providing method of preventing precipitate break in industry general ly, which would be disastrous.
 Should the public follow the gov ernment's lead by calling off construc- tion work the government could step in. whenever prices got down to a reasonable and sane level, and by re- construction prevent entire demoralization.

 Miami, Fla, March i7.-Liying UT 10 the plans which included only rest and recreation, President and Mrs Harding and their vacation party to- day prepared to leave Miami on their trip nortfward. The president re- turned yesterday from his fishing trip without having caught any fish owing to rough seas and after round of golf he assist0i Mrs, Harding in re- ceptlon for a delegation of American Legion members.

President Harding and his com panions will leave here by train. Tentative plans call for cruise northward from Palm Beach to St. Augustine, thence to Augusta. Ga, with intermediate stops for the pur- pose Of the usual golf.
 The much heralded political con- ferences which the president was ex- pected to have during his stay have never developed and little likelihood now exists that the vacation will be broken into by anything bearing upon important matters of state or politics.

FRENCH TODAY BEGIN TO
 UNLOAD COAL THEY SEIZED
Forccful Action Directed Against Those Who Refused to Pay Taxes.

Essen, March 17 (By Associated Press).--The French today began loading trainloads of coke from the Concordia mine at Oberhausen, where | 30,000 tons of coke were seized.
 This mine is owned by mixed French and German capital the ma jority interest being French. This French control, it is commented by German circles, seems likely to re- suit in protests and complications. The German director of the mine refused to pay the 40 per cent tax due on Thursday and the French action is directed against the Ger man interests in the company.
 The 10000 miners employed in the mine went on strike as a protest of the French action and 10000 em- ployed in adjacent mines remain at work.
 There are 20 mines, three of which are state owned in the Oberhausen district. The Concordia was the first seized because the French have ur- gent need of coke for their blast furnaces and considerably supply is on hand at the mine.
 Approximately 1000 soldiers are required as a guard. for the official engineers at each mine and it is mainly to supply these guards in the Oberhausen district that the French are bringing in additional troops.

OFFICIAL DENIAL MADE OF NEW GERMAN OFFER
Foreign office Brands as False, Re- port 10000, 100000 Gold Marks
 Has Been Suggested.

Berlin. March IT (By Associated Press) The rumor that Germany has offered 10000. .ooo,o 900 gold marks or any other fixed sum or. lras sub mitted fresh reparations proposals through an intermediary channel was fiatiy denied by the German foreign office today.
 In the first place, it is pointed out, such sum Is considerably in excess of the amount provided for in the governments proposals of last Janu- ary and therefore is declared to be out of the question in view of the disturbed economic situation resulting from the occupation of the Ruhr.
 In addition, it is stated in official quarters, the Ruhr situation in the present impasse, does not permit new and definite proposals to be contem- plated.

We are the patient people, when

lace us, and call us selfish bores.
And foreign whippersnappers of
high and low degree, old dowagers
and fappers, come sailing DER the
sea; they say we look like walters
or hired men on the farms; they
call US selling platers, cheap skates
and false alarms.~ And all these
nervy strangers denounce the things
we do, and warn us of the dangers
of courses we pursue. And we sub

ness. --A~GIVduLeb,
THERE is certain type of person
l. who thinks, always, that brusque-
ness, even rudeness, to the servants Of
his friends shows familiarity with the
ways Of the world. Let us hope that
these persons are those who have Ind
little chance to get about little chance
to mingle with those who know how
things should be done-that they are
those who have never had servants of
their own, and have had few friends
who numbered servants among thei:
possessions. Sometimes, unfortunate
ly, we meet women who have always
been used to servants who yet have
an overbearing attitude toward the
servants Of their friends. We always
suspect that they gossip with their
own servants.
Now in the big cities at least, serv-
ants resent an appearance Of frlendli-
ness OF too informal sort on their
employers parts. In their relation as
servant, especially where they have
specialized, they wish to assume a
deferential manner, just as they wish
to have their employers assume q di-
recting manner. That is part of the
game. They expect the same treat
mcnt from their employers friends.
But there is n manner, between one
of overbcaring haughtiness and one Of
| ostentatious friendliness, that the we'll
| bred man or woman assumes 10 his
friends servants. And 1t Is really only
the outward manifestation of kindly
consideration to others, whatever their
/ rank or walk in life.
no begin with, always greet your
friends servants, if you have visited
\ the house often enough to know them.
A simple word of greeting is sufficient.
! That is, If you are Il weekend guest
4 in n house, and the maid brings a let
ter to your door before breakfast, say
I Good morning, Jane" And always
! thank them, simply, for services rem
dered. If you call frequently Mt a
/ house, and the same servant always
answers the door, remember simple
word Of greeting then.
4, Never ask favors OF your friends
servants, either when you are visiting
In their homes or when you might be
able to make convenience of them at
, some other time,
