HOUSE SHORTAGE FILLED.
1924 to Be Last Year of Record
Breaking Building.
Special Dispstch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, October 27.-Condi-
tions in the building industry are
receding to normal, but there are
good prospects for a considerable
amount of construction work being
conducted during the coming Winter
months, according to study just
completed by the Copper and Brass
Research Association. The study is
based on graphs which show the
trend of construction activities and
of influences which react upon the
volume of construction.
These indicate that the shortage
has been overcome and that 1924,
with an expenditure of approximately
$5,000,000,000 for construction, will
be the last year of the recordbreak-
ing period of activity in the building
field.
Intensive study and educational
work by the Department of Com
merce in cooperation with various
bodies allied to the industry have
pretty well overcome the old preju-
dice against Winter building.

GENERAL INCREASE
IN PRODUCTION

More Borrowing for Com
merCiaI Uses.

The Federal Reserve Board in it's
review of conditions for September
reported a general increase of pro-
duction of basic commodities, factory
employment and distribution of mer-
chandise. There was also reported a
considerable increase in the volume

poses in September and early October.
The boards index of production in
basic industries, adjusted for sea-
Sonal variations, rose per cent in
September, the first advance since
January, it was said. Increased ac-
tivities were noted in many lines Of
industry, including textiles, iron and
steel, and coal. Building contracts
awarded showed an increase over
September a year ago.
During the five weeks ending Oc-
tober 49, the statement said "loans
and investments of reporting member
banks in leading cities increased by
more than $500. 100000. Credit de-
mand for financing the marketing of
crops and the Fall activity of trade
was reflected in increased commercial
loans throughout the country and the
total volume of these loans rose to a
level considerably above the peak of
October, 1929. Member bank invest
ments in securities continued to in
crease and loans on stocks and bonds
also advanced A further growth of
demand deposits carried their total to
the highest figure on record.
AT the federal reserve banks dis
counts changed but little in Septem-
ber and declined in the first three
weeks of October, while holdings of
acceptances increased considerably,
and there was also some increase in
United States securities. AS a conse-
quence, total earning assets were
larger than at any time since early
in the year. Larger currency require
ments, partly seasonal in character,
were reflected between August l and
October l in an increase of $4,000
900 in the total volume of money in

NEW YORK, October 27.-A. daily
decline of $4,000 barrels in crude oil
production throughout the country in
the last eight weeks has created a
better sentiment in the oil trade than

The impression prevails in the in

to decrease until it reaches 1,S50.000

This belief is based on the extraor-

Risk in Every Investment.

This was an exceptional case, but
it serves to illustrate the point that
all investments, no matter how CON
servatiVe, do imply some measure of
risk. Nothing is absolutely stable.
There is no such thing as absolute
safety. Even the savings bank has
TO invest the funds you entrust to
its care in securities which not only
fluctuate in market price that vary
in investment rating. Through their
ability to diversity their, holdings
and due TO their long experience in
these matters, the savings banks are
able to reduce the risk to a mini
mum. The fact that they are not
able to eliminate it entirely is no
reason for diStruSt in savings banks.
In the same way there is no reason
for refusing to buy sound bonds sim

changes alter the position of indus
tries. Revolutions of this kind do
not come suddenly or without warn
ing. 1t is just as much a mistake

THE ADVANTAGES
OF COUNTRY BOY
Production OF Food Most Profitable
If Man Mixes Brains With
Labor.
BY Armstrong Perry.

A "Boy Wanted" ad in a daily pa
per in a large city sometimes brings
to a store, factory or office hundred
or more applicants.
A rural youth was once surprised
by being picked out of crowd of
job seekers and brought into the
presence of dthe boss"
"You are from the country, are
you not?"
The question embarrassed the
country lad, beiause the joke books
had made him feel that being from
the country is somehow a joke, if
not disgrace, in the eyes of the city
man. However, che was caught with
the goods" confessed that he was
in fact, that he came right off the

ing the country boy was used to get
ting up early because he had chores
to do before school. He was satisfied
20 work later because he was used to
doing some more chores after the
main part of the days work was done.
His pay seemed larger because he
knew how to moke a dollar go far
tlier. The opportunities appeared
larger because he compared them
with what the jobs offered in country
stores and village offices. And he
was truthful and honest as matter
of habit.
And another thing, the country boy
would go to a night school and pre-
pare himself for bigger positions,
while the city boys were squander-
ing time and money in the streets
and in cheap theatres.
One thing the boss said he could
Tot understand and that was why
c,untry boys left the country. He
said the production of food was the
biggest game in the world and the
Ii est profitable if man mixed
trains with his labor. Practically all
of the most successful men he knew,
he said, We're planning to go back to
the country some time and live on
f. rms. Why didn't they stay there
and make their success there in the
first place? Any country boy could

IT thought so-that's why ! want
you," said the boss, and before the
farmer boy had recovered from his
surprise he found himself started in
a job which eventually led to genuine
success.
In the first year he found out why
the employer wanted country boys.
Et found out by watching the en-
ployees who came and went in the es=
Enlistment. The employer needed
boys and men who would tell the
truth whether it appeared to be to
their advantage or not. He needed
employees who were not "color
blind" but could tell the difference
between their own money and the
firms.
He needed workers who worked,
whether they were watched or not,
and who were not afraid to stay on
the job an hour longer when an hour
meant lot to the house.
From long experience he had found
that he could rely upon a country
boy more safely than upon city boy.
Some city boys were honest and in
dustrious and some country boys dis
appointed him, but the average of
good employees was higher among
those who had grown up in the
country.
The employer explained it by say
