BUILDING PERMITS
SHOW GAIN IN MAY
Reports From 562 Cities Give
Increase of 4 Per Cent to
Ii Reverse Trend.

osficial reports made to S, w Straus
from $500 leading cities and towns III
evelTNSection of the 4S States revealed
q gam in building permits issued IN
May of 4 per cent, compared with the
same month last year. The figures
were $374,sS9, o45 and 1851. 234.Sol.
These reports comprise a restoration
of the upward curve Of building activl-
ties, somewhat disquieting downward
trend having existed since the end OF
March. II viii serve a useful purpose
to recall at this time the years building
trend as revealed in terms OF building
permits issued.
In nearly 600 cities and towns, which
contain more than so per cent of the
urban population of the country. there
was a gain in January of 8 per cent
and in February of Z per cent. The
curve then turned downward. with a
loss in March of per cent. which in
April decreased TO Is per cent.
1t will be seen. therefore. that while
the Nav figures do not represent par
ticularly large increase in the volume
of immediate building prospects, they
are of value as q possible forerunner
OF Summer activities comparable with
the prosperous years of the immediate
past.
1t is to be borne in mind that these
figures are an index o. pending condi-
tons. While other building data has TO
do with the volume of construction,
either current or past, these records Of
building permits, especially when they
embrace rs they do every community
of the United States. serve the purpose
Of q national barometer. At this time,
when expert opinion varies as to the
business outlook and when many lines
are marking time, it is happy clrcum-
stance that the building industry gives
promise of sustained or perhaps slightly
increased activities, the banker believes.
In the group of IS cities reporting
the largest volume of permits for May,
there was a gain over the same month
last year of is per cent and OF per
cent over May. 1925. The figures were
1928. S22S, 754. 1853; 1927, $i97. 628 or;

SAFETY IN ROUGH ROADS.

It may come to this, that in order to minimize reckless driving of automobiles it will be necessary to leave streets and roads in disrepair. Every stretch of smooth highway is regarded by a goodly proport- ion of motorists as an invitat- ion to "step on the gas and see what she can do." At any rate, they "step on it." So often does "she" do the unexpected that smooth pavements some times appear to be menaces. But it is not the fault of the pavement. Then the public au- thorities have to step in, make lot of arrests and earn the reproach of having set up speed trap" There never is a trap" where roads are rough. The explanation is that mo- torists do not exceed the speed limit where doing so would shake their cars to pieces and upset their own stomachs.
 Rough roads for safety. This is the inference from expert ence. Careful drivers who hab: itually rspect the law will not be annoyed by the official act ivities. But they have more than a casual interest in the ultimate results of the con. junction of smooth pavements and speed fiends. All motor dom would suffer were rough roads made the rule because too many motorists cannot be trusted to use smooth pave ments aright.
 Public safety must be held above public convenience and comfort. Wherefore if misuse of smooth highways makes for unusual danger to the people, it would be reasonable to com pei reduction of speed by mak- ing a perilous pace impossible.

INDISPENSABLE TO
 BUSINESS.
Advertising pays!"

AoVertlSlng payS!
 That epigramatic declaration is questioned by no one inform ed in the history of business and comm I3ial development. It is 8 statement of fact, obvi- ous and indisputable.
 Quality and service have built vast commercial and in- duStrial institutions, but with their handmaid, advertising, greater institutions have been built in far less time and at far less cost. Advertising brings buyers and quality; service and advantageous price keep them.
 One can point to several au- tomohile manufacturers who owe their exceptional success not to building a better car, but to using more and better ad- vertiSing than their compeh- tors. And several manufact- urers have learned too late that success in this huge in this huge industry depends upon more than making a good car.
 It is significant that the mak- CTS of those products whose copyrighted names are synon- ymous with the product itself have all been large-scale ad- vertisers. Making a better mousetrap" wasn't enough.
 What these famous national advertisers have accomplished for the trade names of their products has been done by merchants for their business names. Advertising has made one store synonymous with clothing, another with furni- ture, another with meats and groceries, and another with music.
 In every business and com- munity there is some far-seeing and enterprising manufacturer or merchant who raises his product and business name above the common level by making advertising work for him.

isfying period for the amateur gardener. It is the season when he begins to plan for the next summers plot in the backyard. A half dozen catalogs, a com fortable chair, warm room and a credulous imagination constitute the equipment need- ed for growing a splendid gar den--in winter.
 The results of ones efforts are much more nearly perfect now than will be possible next summer. One needs merely to look at the vegetables, fruits and flowers portrayed in the catalogs and let fancy have free play. The advantages now over endeavOrs later lies in that one does not have to spade refractory soil, does not have to contend with frosts' effect on tender plants; there are no blights on gardens in imaginat- ion, floods do not drown or dry weather wither, bugs do not consume nor do the forays of neighbors' chickens exasper- ate. It is the only perfect seas on for a garden.
 Only at this season can one hope to reach the perfection in products which the catalogs portray. Ones hopes steadily vanish as one progresses from the anticipation to the realiz- ation, therefore let anticipation have free play now. Realizat- ion will be enough of a dis appointment at best. "Aim high" is an old maxim. Surely the seed catalog designers do not offend in not placing the goal high enough. Their stand ard often outlofts the lofty.
 As spring comes and one takes up the practical phases of the problem of garden the prospect will appear less promising. It is easier to plan hard labor than to perform it. There is no excellence without great labor, the old-time copy books told us, and that is the reason February, or there about, is the best time for growing a garden. It doesn't require much labor. Next sum- mer will be different. Do it now.
