BUILDERS GETTING
MORE FOR MONEY
kTHAN LAST YEAR
Material Costs Are at Their
Lowest Ebb, Apparently,
Magazine Says.
PRICE RISE is SEEN
BEFORE END OF 1898
House That Cost $500 in ~
Can Now Be Constructed for
$1,000, Is Claim.

Home builders can obtain much
greater, value for their money now
than a year ago because building ma
terial costs are apparently at their
lowest ebb, but all evidence points to
. rise before the end Of the year, the
Architectural Forum magazine de-
clares today in its September issue
The magazine explains that its ex-
pectation of a rise in costs is based
material price trends since 1886 and
the factors affecting their cost to the
builder.
The factors which the Architectural
Forum believes will bring about an in
crease in building material prices
within the next few months are:
!. Demands Of labor for continued
high wages
2. General reduction in inventories
3. Increasing taxes on all fronts.
T. Improvement in business senti-
ment.
5. P. w. A. and U. s. H. A. pro-
grams
s. The seasonal upturn in business
and building.
Probable Trends.
From consideration of these fac
tors, the Architectural Forum predicts
the following probable price trends
Tor the seven major building materials
during the next few months:
Lumber, upward.
Brick, upward.
Steel. steady to upward.
Cement, steady.
Copper, steady.
Paint, steady to upward
Glass, steady.
Architects and builders are wonder.
ing II they can justifiably advise that
now Is the time to build" the Archi-
tectural Forum point out. The
answer to this question lies in an
analysis of the factors affecting the
cost Of construction and the apparent
answer is yes
For IL consecutive months the
cost OF building q house has tended
downward. Ushered into 1896 at S5.3
per cent Of the 1926 average. the COM
posite wholesale price index Of build
tngs basic materials went to 97.2 per
cent in May. 1897, and has since de-
clined steadily Except for an insig-
nificant bounce In February to eS7
Tor June, 1888.
$500 House for $4,000.
To-day, $4,000 will purchase a house
that IN September, 1887, carried 4
$1,000 price tag Or to put it another
way, the home buyer who a year ago
had $4,000 to spend could build his
house now with $500 left over-more
than enough to cover the cost of q
garage or the down payment required
under a 30 per cent mortgage.
About IS per cent of structures
final cost may reasonably be attributed
10 the expense Of materials and such
basic equipment as wiring, plumbing
and heating" the Architectural Forum
explains. But the trend of material
prices is not readily predicted.
Unlike many other industries,
building gives no advance notice when
prices of its products are to be
changed. The only basis for prognosis
Is a study Of the individual factors be-

Time Of With Pay Connie Mack Plan

Philadelphia, Oct. 26-(UP) Connie Mack, president manager of the Philadelphia American League baseball team, suggested today that ball play CTS should get vacations during the season to eliminate slumps in form.
 Mack said that if Pittsburgh had followed this practice it might have prevented . late season slump and have won the pennant.
 "If every other business finds It profitable to give vacations, why shouldn't baseball?" he asked.
 Tt should be the greatest In. surance against slumps-and slumps are more costly than ell ball players salaries. Some fel- lows do not need . rest but they are few and far between.
 Suppose, for example, Pitts burgh had given vacations dur. ing the season and thereby pre-. vented the slump that beat them out of the pennant. It would have been worth SiO0,. 900 t0 them"
 Explaining what he meant by vacation, Mack explained, Keep them away from the ball park. Send them home or pack them of to the mountains, anything to get their minds off baseball"

 New York, Oct. 26.-(UP)-All- America time still is more than 6 month away, but the United Press presents today the consensus of ob- servers ell over the country on the outstanding players for the first half of the 1898 football season.
 Some of those chosen will no doubt falter and fall back into ob- scurity before the season ends, and injuries may hurt the chances of others. It Is probable, too, that many first-ciass players, particular iy smaller schools, have been over- looked in this nnid-season survey.
