BRICK MAKERS SEE
SLUMP IN BUILDING
Drop Considered as Largely
Due to Season,
However.

A slump in building is apparent,
| according to the monthly digest is
sued by the Common Brick Manu-
facturors Association. Adding that
the decline in operations has not
reached serious proportions" the
digest records Il thirty-day drop in
gross orders of members of the as
sociation from 403,691,O 900 to 395, ,ii7,-
kU00 on July l.
The digest says:
The falling off in new business
most apparent in some Of the CEN
Fcrs that have been the busiest in
Yrreceding months. In New York.

in southern California districts man
ufacturers. while well stock ed with
old orders and running at fun capac-
tty, have reported that the volume
"f new business coming into the of
firo has been considerably reduced
the preceding month.
ON the other hand. some i'm
portant plants say that while they
were p"sSimistic thirty da"s ago
'h"y are again optiup pistic. The con
dition iS generally viewed as sea-
HIh'e that Tn" last six months of
l923 will not pile up volume in
new construction equal to the first

much building to be done. In the
larger cities there is no surplus of
housing. There is an extreme short
age of schools and hospitals and
other public buildings.
IF each state should make a gain
or 1000 brick houses this year that
business alone would represent an
increase of - per cent over the 1922
consumption of common brick. Pres
INT indications are that the gain in
brick home building this year will
nc much greater than that. Home

The urine gets cloudy. fnll of sediment. the chan nels often get sore and irritated. obiig Ing you 10 seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To heip neutr7lize these irritating acids: to help cleanse tine kidneys and flush of the hods urinous waste, get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here. Take tablespoonful in a glass of wafer before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then SCI fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. com bined with iithia. and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate slug g.sh kidneys. also 10 neutralize the acids ir the system SO they no longer irritate. thus often relieving bladder weakness.

between the executive and the legis- lative branches of the state govern meut during the late session. If the stationery in the executive office had been scarce or fl 1t had been out of reach of the governor, this latest mis- understanding would not have occur red. The governor should keep his literary inelinations in restraint.
 Republicans Smoothing Out
 l. would be simply affectation to deny that Republican policy influenced legislation, but to an extent which showed a laudable consciousness of responsibility for the general charae ter of legislation. t was not that the Republican organization assumed an attitude of dictation towards legisla- tors who were in political accord with the Republican party. But the or ganization, knowing that the party would be held responsible for the re- suits of the session, was well within it's rights in dropping suggestions for amendments to laws that would make for their improvement and for the betterment of conditions under which the people of the state lived. If they had neglected to do that Mir. Roraback and his associates of the organization would have been remiss in the duty which they owed the state. In 1918 when the governor was a Democrat, the majority of the senate Democrat ic. with narrow working Republican majority in the house, and with all the state officials Democrats. the members of the Democratic state organization did not hesitate to advise with the leaders of the Democrats in the legis- lature on the course to be pursued in legislation. The influence of the Re- publican organization at the last ses- sion was shown in the legislation which reduced the state tax on towns by half million dollars, in the reduc- tion of the tax on automobile trucks for the benefit of the people living in the country towns, in the freeing of the toll bridges, and in many other beneficial acts of the legislature. There is evidence from many of the counties, particularly from Fairfield county, that factionism in the Repub- lican party is dying out and that next year the party will 20 into the cam paign bearing no ranking scars from faction fights as was the case in 1922 and 1928.
