struggle for existence before the war
are now rich. One man, a butcher

SPURT is EXPECTED
IN HOME BUILDING
Noticeable Increase in Activities
Nationally Predicted in Next
Few Weeks.

CHICAGO, March ch25.-Predictions that
increased activity in home building and
in the renovating of old homes will be
noticeable nationally within the next
few weeks on larger scale than at any
time during the last two years, were
made today in a statement issued by
Harvey L. Harris, of this city, general
manager of Sears Roebuck & Co., home
construction division. A general rise in
the prices of building materials and
construction costs also was predicted,
based on anticipated increased demand
with low stocks on hand on building
supply and lumber yards, and in ware
houses of manufacturers.
Reports from our Eastern and West
ern sales Offices indicate that since the
bank holiday period, during the past
two weeks, thousands of people are
preparing to put cash into home con-
struction, both in the building Of new
homes and in remodeling existing struc-
tures," Mr.. Harris states.

Danger in Low Temperature.

cold nights may be harmful to small
children in the family.
Dropping the night temperature to
IS degrees results in fuel saving of
about to per cent. compared to the
amount required TO maintain 10 degrees
throughout the "a hours.
When the night temperature is
dropped much below the day heat level.
the walls and furniture lose SO much of
their heat that they warm up less
rapidly than the air on the following
morning. And for a few hours some
discomfort to the children may result
from these cooler surfaces.

MONTHLY TAX PAYMENTS
ADVOCATED BY LEAGUE
Building and Loan Organization
Would Put Levy on Basis Of
Phone or Gas Bills.

Paying taxes should be put upon a
monthly basis and become for the
housecwncr part OF the routine of
bill-paying along with that of the
water rate, the telephone and gas bill
and the charge for electric service. !"
This is the substance of a report re-
Gently issued by the Public Relations
Committee Of the United States Build
ing and Loan League.
:, The report, signed by an impressive
list OF flnanciers and experts in the
neid OF construction financing, defends
lts thesis by many arguments.
Finally, the report contends. the re-
suit OF monthly tax dues would be an
increased tax consciousness" which
would result IN closer citizen supervi-
sion OF governmental costs. Payment
OF taxes at frequent intervals would
give the Government the use of the
money and make needless much public
borrowing.
