RECORD BUILDING
YEAR PREDICTED
Demand for Material Will Tax
Rail Facilities, Contractor Says.

1t is doubtful il the transportation
facilities Of the country will be sufi-
cient TO meet the demands for the
great volume Of building material that
viii be wanted for construction work
in 1923, is the opinion expressed by
Walter w. Wise, building contractor
Mr.. Wise predicted that 1928 will be a
record breaker from the construction
standpoint. Speaking Of the situation,
he said:
MANY persons believe that the rail
roads may be unable to cope with the
demands Of a great construction sea
son this year, so that for Contractor
in spite Of a probable great market
for building, in spite of the fact that
material plants may work TO capacity
and loggers put in a full and active
seasOn-the picture is not altogether
roseate. since there may be serious
difficulty in obtaining the materials
for many Of the jobs. The roads are
still unable to serve the Nation in an
adequate manner; the neck OF the
bottle can not be opened to an ade-
quate size for years to come.
1t seems to be the consensus Of
opinion in that section that first quar-
ter prices will be higher than ever
and that adequate supplies will be
hard to obtain during the peak Of the
coming season. Similar conditions ex-
list, and Will exist. in other centeTs,
and similar solutions will be sug-
gested.
Production IN most plants or in.
dustries is as high as the season will
permit, and shipments are sufficient to
take care OF the current demands. Al
though the production of cement,
brick and lumber Is now much lower
than during the busiest season during
the past year. 1t is true that normal
December records were exceeded
Building has fallen off somewhat, but
this has been a busy month. Many
lumber mills have shut down because
Of the season. but as the demand for
lumber is unusually high, there Is a
scarcity of some sizes and grades. A
few brick plants have cut down on

at the same time avoid the extremely
high prices that so frequently ac

THE success Of the Russell Cafe
terra proves that we were right in
every way. Our customers have come
to know that when they eat with us
they are assured that quality Will
never vary and taht the highest degree
Of cleanliness Is rule that we never
allow to be violated. The environ
ment contributes to the enjoyment of
the food. Soft lights, quiet decorative

I'VE feel that we have given Indi-
annapolis an eating place Of which it
can be proud and Of the kind for
which so many persons have been
seeking for a long time"

but II IS sure to advance in the near
future. he believes. In speaking OF the
building materials situation, he said:
"A study Of the prices of four basic
construction materials shows that
considerable degree Of stability has
been established and that whatever
the next four or five year period has
In store, the outlook for the first part
Of next year at least is a firm market.
Take the four materials. lumber,
cement, common brick and structural
steel. Taking the average price OF
each OF these materials during the
first ten months Of 1921 as the base
price, or 100 per cent, we find that
in the case Of brick the percentage
price for the first quarter of 1922 is
S6.3. for the second quarter S5.7, for
the third quarter 500, and for the
fourth quarter S9.5 per cent. There
fore, in the case Of this material
there is an average for this year at
least 10 per cent below that Of last
year in spite of the fact that building
activity this year has been much
greater than that Of last year. that

and hold this year than last year, and
that coal costs have been very high.
During the first quarter Of 1921, the
percentage price Of brick was 113; its
high point since the war was during
the third quarter Of 1920 when it was
1870 per cent of its best price. In 1918
common brick was Al per cent Of its
average price during the first ten
months Of 1921.
Brick Is the only material which
stands lower during the last quarter
of this year than It was during the last
quarter Of last year. Cement Is 92.S
per cent, whereas 1t closed last year
at 90 per cent. Steel closes this year
at 979 per cent, whereas 1t closed last
year at 76. Lumber closes at 1915
whereas at the close of last year 1t
was only 1903.
"As in the case OF labor's wages so
in the case of material prices, it looks
as If there may be an upward tendency
during the early part Of next year.
The general trend ls upward, and a
strong demand will never turn 1t down.

AMAZON LEAVES
SUITCASE BEHIND
Strange Girl Takes Refuge in
Home After Fight.

A fighting Amazon will find her
suitcase at police headquarters. Frank
Craig, 1921 N. Alabama ST., called the
police Sunday afternoon and told
them a 17-year.old girl had a fight
with a man in front of his home. She
asked Craig If she could remain at
his house until the man left the
neighborhood. She remained there
for some time and then she asked
Craig If his daughter, Cecil Craig, IA,
could accompany her to her home.
They walked to Pennsylvania ST.,
where the strange girl met q man
and then told Cecil to return home
The fighting girl had left her suit

available supplies by restricting op.
erauons, and price increases are still
the order Of the day in certain sec
tons.
Winter failed to slow down steel
work to any great extent in this re-
gion, and the market is active. Other
materials are facing a demand that Is
unusual, but the valuation OF the
work under way shows that the pro
ducers OF the basic materials are not
pushed as hard as they were a few
months ago Production is generally
high, stock fair and prices firm TO
strong. Permits show that the spring
business will be good.
Residential construction Of the
multi-family type is leading the mar
ket. Excessive demand has forced
prices rather high. and dealers are
showing that they expect higher
prices by putting in large stocks of
basic materials"

GOD AND SCIENCE

I'VE find God speaking to a world
Of men as a maker of new things and

Rev. John A. Henderson, pastor of
the First United Presbyterian Church,
in a sermon Sunday. Men seek after
new things and God is constantly pre-
pairing for new things. Science is
constantly seeking after the creation
of new things, but all these things
brought forth are but the products Of
God, for Gods hand is evident in all
