AND IT ENRIcHEs LIVING

News is news. That little Maine
harbor whose name the tidal waves
swept upon the front page Of yes
terday's newspapers has for years
sent its shiny tins of fried fish cakes
and herring-sardines over the con-
tinent without public word of
recognition.-Boston Herald
More's the pity "News Is news"
and definition thereof is. anything
new. strange or unexpected" The
days work, be it done day or night,
be 1t done in rain or shine, be it
bucking the drifts of winter or toss
ing the fragrant mown grass to catch
the drying breeze of summer, is
neither strange ncr unexpected. 1t
is taken for granted that man win
do these things, that he will imperil
his life in fisherman's dory, that he
will dig subways. handle dynamite,
dive down into the waters, climb or
fly aloft and work at dizzy heights
and disregard the terrible toll OF
mistakes.
Not all our heroes go to war. Mil
lions are toiling under burdens, MAX
ing sacrifices for those they love and
indirectly for the maintenance of the
civilization we cherish. So common
place are these endeavors. these
sacrifices, they usually fail to attract
the headliner's notice. But what a
story Of human interest one may find
in them. what encouragement to
those, who like to think we'll of their
fellows! However, the poets have
not overlooked them.
They have told us even of those Of
little showing" that "their work
continueth, greater than their know
ing" Again:
"of every noble work the silent part
is best,
or all expression, that which cannot
be expressed"
Surely Lamb was in ill-humor
when he concluded that "Sabbathless
Satan" invented work and bound
the free and holiday spirit down."
The good book tells us that: Man
goeth forth unto his work and to his
labor until evening" Verify, a vener-
able and long respected habit. That
will be a sorry day when labor no
longer calls, unless first man shall be
made over into a different being.
Not yet has man been SO made over:
not vet is it possible for man to
neglect his part, to hold himself
aloof from throbbing. vital. con-
structive life and really live the life
that enriches the living of it.

OLD SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Old-time interference Of supply
and demand are beginning to be felt
in the housing shortage in this coun-
try according to data collected by
the National Industrial Conference
Board. This shows that the country
as whole is fairly well caught-up
with the demand for homes, although
building activity as whole. meas
ured by value of contracts, was, last
October, 100 per cent greater than at
the beginning of the boom in the
early spring of 1928.
From the Boards report we take
the following:
with a housing shortage, existing
from war times, as the fundamental
factor, the beginning and course OF
the present building boom, which
got under way in earnest i'll 1873, can
be traced a in almost direct relation
to the declining trend in the cost OF
building materials, according to the
Boards study. Taking the year after
the war, 1919, as a starting point,
there came, first, the period OF
imitation. during which comparatively
little residential but proportionately
much industrial, commercial and
other building was being done.
Prices of building materials rose
nearly SO percent above the 1919
average within a year, and building
wages to the highest point since the
war. But the total value of contracts
awarded dropped.
Building materials during the fol-
lowing year, 1921, dropped to the low
est price level of the 1919-25 period,
and the national average level of
building wages began to sag. Under
the combined stimulus of declining
wages and material prices. building
activity nationally began to increase,
rising in 1922 to a point about 30
percent above the 1919 average. The
spring 1928 saw greater activity yet,
with an increasing proportion of
residential building. Prices of build
ing materials stiffened somewhat I'M
der the squirt of activity, while
average building wages nationally
gradually recovered from their recess
sion which followed the imitation
period.
From 1923 on. however, prices of
building materials have been consis-
tently below the 1919 average level
with a downward tendency if any,
and It Is largely this factor that we
must look to as the chief stimulus
during the present stage Of building
activity. in the light of the Confer
ence Boards analysis. With the ma
tional average rent level sagging, in
dicating no longer any acute housfffg
shortage. and with no indication for
more than q normal demand for ad-
ditional industrial and commercial
noorspace. building costs. the Board |
points out. will be the fundamental
determining factor in building &C.
