Evening star., 1925-09-12

During the past two years fiuctua :
tions of this average cost figure have
remained within points, the limits
being 200 and POS. Though the Au-
gust decline Is an encouraging sign
with respect to costs, 1t cannot yet
be considered as definitely indicating
the advent of the long anticipated
downward trend.
The volume of contracts award ed
during July, while 5 per cent less
than the total for June, was greater
than the figure for any previous July
on record. The total volume of con-
tracts awarded during the first seven
months of 1925 exceeds the volume
for the same period in 1924 by s
per cent.
More Permits Issued.
The number of building permits is
sued in July was per cent greater
than the June total and 81 per cent
greater than the number issued In
July, 1924. The figure for the COM
parative seven month period shows
an increase of per cent over 1924
The average of wages in the prin-
cipal construction centers remained
the same in August as in July. Prices
paid by contractors for construction
materials decreased in some cities,
the average OF prices dropping 8
points to index number 179, based
on 1913.
Awards for concrete surface pave
ment totaled 100000 square yards
in July. with the figure for the first
seven months of 1925 exceeding the
corresponding total for 1924 by 20
per cent. Awards for pavement of
streets and alleys reached the high

BUILDING DECLINE
LATER THIS YEAR
Slump Following Big Activity
of Summer Expected to

The seasonal decline in construc-
tion following the Summer months
promises to be several weeks late
this year according to statistics
compiled by the Associated General
Contractors of America
After three months. during which
a II records for building activity were
shattered. these figures show no de-
cline in August from the high mark
reached in July. Furthermore, the
vast number of contracts awarded in
July indicates a large amount of
construction is yet to be undertaken
before the Winter months
The total volume of construction
performed during the first eight
months of 1925 exceeded that OF the
corresponding period in 1924 by more
than per cent. This fact also is
being mustered 10 indicate the post
ponement of the seasonal decline this

Costs Lowered.
Despite the enormous amount Of
building under way, the average of
construction costs in the principal
construction centers of the United
states was lower in August than at
any time during the past 2s months,

LISTEN, WORLD!
Your Kid and You
By ELSIE ROBINSON

Mrs. Sid Be..man doesn't hold with
all these modern notions about bring
ing up children. She thinks it's dan
gerous to treat children as equals an
make them feel as il you are their
companion" And as for apologizing
TO them, or acknowledging your ignor-
ance or mistakes to them-she can
imagine nothing moro injurious.
That sort of th,ng destroys the nat
ural respect which q child feels for
older people. especially for his par
cnts."
Which listens wonderfully, but
merely moves me to reply in a pithy
parlance of the day
''TIow do you get that way. lady!
Where'd you accumulate the big idea
that children have a natural respect
for older people'?'
It's lovely idea and one that has
been long popular with adults. But
it's hokum.
The child does not feel a natural
respect for older people, especially
parents.
In the first place. the normal child
is q self centcred little animal with
scant interest in or affection for any
thing that doesn't pertain to his OWL
need. We are now talking about the
child's natural attitude. not about that
posing, grating, hypocritical attitude
which stupid adults SO often. force
children to assume.
The normal child is tremendously
concerned with discovering himself
and the world in which he lives. He Is
selfish because it is vital TO his own
life that he should be selfish at that
period. He feels little sentimentality
about people or things because, being
n young, healthy growth, the fungus
Of sentimentality has not, as yet, had
time to attach itself TO him. Because
Of this. he does not feel that respect
for age which Mrs. Bergman is sc
fearful Of destroying.
He may learn, through bitter ex'
perience, that it is well for him 10
pretend that he feels that respect, but
such is not his natural reaction.
What is the child's natural reaction
toward big folks? =!
1t is largely one of indifference.
