STEADY INCREASE IN
BRICK SHIPMENTS is
REPORTED BY YARDS
Common Brick Plants Ship
1O4,663,OO0 Bricks in
Last 30 Days.

Figures on common brick production
and shipments during the last month
reveal a. normal seasonal condition.
While the uAburned brick on hand re-
mains about the same as during the
previous 30-day period and there has
been a slight reduction of burned
brick on hand, the quantity of brick
moved from the yards has greatly
increased. The February 1 report
showed that 45,762, 900 brick were
moved from the yards during the pre-
vious 80 days, while the current re-
port shows that 104,6S3 900 brick
were moved during the 80 days. This
is the result unquestionably of better
weather. and resumption of work in
the larger cities, according to the Com
mon Brick Manufacturers Associa ton
Of America.
The Illinois, Indiana and Wiscon-
sin district contributed largely to this
increase in shipments, while increases
are shown also from the southeastern
states OF Virginia, North Carolina

WILL ADD TO CHURCH
San Angelo Methodists Plan to Spend
$4,000.

San Angelo, Tex, April 5.-PlAns
for the early construction of a three
story brick Sunday school aud educa.
tional building are being formulated
by members of the First Methodist
church. 1t is proposed to erect an al.
dition costing $4,000 to $4,000 on
the west side of the present church
building corner Of East Beauregaid
avenue and South Cakes street, con.
firming so in architecture that the
completed structure will resemble a
new and modern edifice. There will
be room for each Sunday school
class, parlors for receptions and ban
quets and other meeting places.
The church's membership has in
creased to between HOO and 1900
and all its departments, especially the
Sunday school, have outgrown the
present accommodations. The pro-
gram is the most ambitious instituted
by any church In San Angelo in q
number Of years and is in charge
of committee composed of G. G.
Kirkpatrick, chairman; George H.

foreign ports, and much of this, in

This material moved slowly and in

One contractor. erecting building
in Philadelphia and having shipped a
quantity OF this imitation Of brick
from the jobber in New York, had the
unusual experience of having his go
called brick burned up before he could
get them in the wall, having been ex-
posed to fire across the street. This
is the first case on record in which a
contractor collected fire insurance on
what he thought was brick. Even the
real brick coming In from foreign ports
have to take second place to the Amer
ican-made article, which is still strong
in the preference of the architect and
the builder. 1t is likely that imported
brick will find place in the market
in New York and other seaport cities
only when the supply of American
made brick is inadequate to meet the
demands.

shows a gain in shipments.
The orders on the books have not in

Chicago continues to break all rec
ords in brick consumption. In 1923
,200. 600 900 brick were consumed in
the Chicago district. and the deliveries
for the months of January, February
and March thus far have even ex.
ceeded the high mark set up in the
corresponding months year ago. Chi.
cago, since the Great Fire in II, has
been a leading brick market, but is to.
day consuming a greater amount Of
brick than any other metropolitan
area in the world. While Manhattan
probably would hold the record in the
consumption of common brick in com
parison with any similar area. it is 8
fact that the residential portions o,
Greater New York do not consume O.;
much brick as the residential sections
of Chicago. This is due to the fact
that practically the entire city of Chi

which no building may be erected with

 There was small person with a pale face and light hair. She had made an attempt to curl her hair, but be- cause it was an intensely hot and humid evening her hair chung tight to her head. Owing to precipitation the talcum powder which she applied van ished from her face almost as quickly as it was put on. Theris turned has tily from the glass.

A woman of my age and coloring has no busi- ness to wear blue organdy, but it was the only dress 1 could find. When you only have two hours in which to get ready for an occasion of this kind and must in that interval select and buy a dress you cant be expected to have very good luck. But Ida and-and the rest won't know that. 1 wish she hadn't asked me, or 1 wish now l could stay at home"
 Two hours later Theris Carman had never dreamed of anything like this. She was just covering her typewriter when her employers wife, who was also an old school-fellow of hers, had telephoned an imperative message. Theris Listen to me.

If you do I shall have that would probably result in our sepa- ration, for dear knows how he would manage all that business without you No, positively, you must appear at z. Fix up bit.

 Theris knew that Ida Ainslie was quite as much in earnest as she sound ed, and although she dreaded horribly to meet Charles Clifford, she hastened to the nearest shop to find gown The small town of Shandalee did not specialize in frocks for rather elderly, tired business girls, so the only thing besides white which Theris could find was the blue organdy. It just fitted, and that was a blessing.
 I'd take white" Theris thought, ''only 1 know what Ida will say-that l look like something wrapped in shroud, and that would be right"
 But now she almost wished that she had risked the white, the blue organdy looked so foolish, so gay.

Then they went in to din- ner, and a very merry meal it was Afterward they played bridge, Charles and his hostess against TheEis and Mir Ainslie, and Theris won.

 But there were two old friends whom Peter missed and who had sent no word. Who were they? Guess. You can't? Why. they were Unc Billy Pos sum and Bobby Coon. Peter wondered if it was because they didn't care. He thought a little wistfully that they might at least have sent word that they were sorry. Then suddenly he chuck I,led.
 T know why they were not here and sent no word," said he. They were both fast asleep in their hollow trees and didn't know a thing about it." And Peter was right. He was wonder ing if they would hear the news that ly. Listen '" she whispered. Peter listened. There was faint. rustling of leaves in the dear Old Brier Patch Some one was coming along one of Peters private paths. Was it friend or could it be that Shadow the Weasel had heard of Peter's helplessness and had come to catch him? Peter listened with all his might. Suddenly the anxious lools> left his eyes. Whoever it was was very slow of foot. Shadow the Weasel never in the world would move so slowly as that.
 Nearer and nearer came the rustling, very slowly but very steadily. Pres ently with little sigh of relief Spotty the Turtle stopped beside Peter.
 "Dhaw I'm tired anid SnottV "I know I'm a little late for your party, but I've come to see you just the same. I heard you were sick, Pe- ter, and wanted to bring you some thing, but there wasn't thing 1 could think of But I came just the same. I've brought you my love and the love of Grandfather Frog. He wanted to come, too, but he didn't dare go so far from the Smiling Pool. He told me to tell you that he wants you to hurry up and get well, because he has. a brand new story for you. My, but it certainly is long way here !"
 Peter thought of something. "When did you start?" he asked.
 "When Little Joe Otter and the others did," replied Spotty the Tur. tie.
 How many times did you stop to rest?" asked Peter, winking at Mrs. Peter.
 q didn't stop at all 7" replied Spot ty indignantly. II may be slow, but when I start for place I keep right on going until l get there and always get there."
 And you've brought me the very incest things you possibly could," re- piled Peter I'm sorry you missed the party, but I'm ever so glad you are here, because now we can have nice quiet little visit together.
