Building Materials
Prices Show Decline

The decline in building material
prices since the beginning of 1927
was nearly per cent. This was In
part counterbalanced by increases
in building trades wages 80 that the
decline in the cost of construction
for the year was about per cent.
The present prices of building
materials are approximately 81 per
cent above those of 1918 and are the
lowest they have been since the mid.
die of 1922.

rather than of adopting the practice
of going after a large number of
contracts which are not logical or
probable. BY this method It y
claimed contractors secure . large
number Of contracts. but do not bid
for 30 many.
Standardization Of materials and
design is another place where It
should be possible to eliminate great
waste. This work Is going forward
rapidly under the supervision OF the
Department OF Commerce. With
half an eye it can be seen that q

possible the purchasing OF buildings
Of better quality and at less cost

number of cases have fallen through
where the wife has reused to sign
the deed at the time of settlement.
"The question is often asked,
should contract for the purchase
of real estate be recorded in the
office of the Recorder of Deeds?
Theoretically, the recording of a con-
tract is a notice to third persons
who might buy from a dishonest
seller without any knowledge that
he has already entered into cpn
tract with someone else for the sale
of the same property. II the contract
is recorded any title company ex-
aiming the title to the property,
will report such contract in their
report, thereby saving a possible
third part. expense and litigation.
1t is. therefore, often wise for the
purchaser to go to the expense of
recording his contract.

MARYE and 'MOM'
THEIR LETTERS
BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES

Dear Marye:
Please don't be too sure that
you're thinking only of the good
of your children when you say
you'll wait until they won't give
you any extra work to do before
you decide to have them.
Your view sounds kind of selfish
to me, but Of course 1 grew up in
an age when mothers loved to take
care Of their babies and never would
have entertained the thought of
turning them over to nurse to
bring up. Very rich women raised
their children by proxy, I know, but
there weren't so many who could af-
ford this luxury. Maybe they did
not have SO much to do keeping up
with society that they had to have
help, but you are not in the Sunday
rotogravures you know, Marye dear,
and you don't have to sacrifice the
incest thing in a Woman's life in
order to run around to bridge games
and dinners and dances.
Children might like nice look
ing parents, as you say, but they
like young parents who can under
stand them too. What boy under
twenty wants dad" to be old
enough to be his grandfather? And
if you believe that a young daugl-
ter wants the companionship of a
mother who is so old she can't re-
member what it feels like to be a
girl you are very much mistaken.
And somehow, strange as it seems,
people who have the burden Of
bringing up children get along lust
as well, if not better, than some Of
you who don't have to think twice
about what you should do with your
money. [ dare say you wouldn't be
buying imported dresses if the baby
needed q new coat or bonnet. Things
like clothes and keeping up with
Weather friends don't mean so
much when you have something
better to spend money on.
Some frivolous women never can
think Of anything else, Of course.
but in most cases children are a
great influence for thrift: and the
sooner you acquire that influence the
better it will be for you. There isn't
much incentive in saving money Just
for yourselves.
People haven't the Imagination,
ordinarily, to see themselves in the
old age stage. Perhaps it's a good
thing that nature has deprived us of
that facility so that we might keep
young in our hearts and have no
fear of decrepity or the proverbial
rainy day. But nature meant us to
have children so that we should
anchor ourselves for them, at least.
if not for our very own selves. I'm
afraid the way you childless wives
are increasing that our institutions
OF the future will be homes for poor
folks, With love and hope. MOHE.

had just begun, hence Aunt
Sally can not possibly know
what is the best thing Tor the
child. Aunt Sally however
thinks because she had five children
that she absolutely knows every
thing that will benefit her little
nephew or niece.
The only tactful solution for a
problem of this sort is for the
mother to start when the child is a
baby by using her own judgment in
its care. Let the relatives advise but
forget their advice as soon as they
give it. The hint will soon be taken
and much later trouble will be
avoided in these well-meaning,
though sometimes bothersome kin.
Too many cooks spoil the broth,
mothers, and by having several per-
sons telling a child to do this or
that, the child will soon mind no
one. Remember, sometimes the
orders will conflict and there are
grounds for any family quarrel.
