ROOSEVELT MAY.
 RETURN QUICKLY.
En Route for Vacation; He Left Word for Speedy
 Call If Needed

Aboard Presidential Special en route to War Springs, Ga, April 19.-(UP)-President Roosevelt. en route south for a vacation, ordered extraordinary measures today to provide for his quick return to Washington in event the European war is extended to more neutral na- tions.
 MT. Roosevelt indicated apprehen- sion that the war might spread further when he boarded his spe- cial train in Washington last right. As he leTt his automobile, he turned to several friends standing nearby, saying: 'If another country is in- vaded, I'll be right back"
 Extension of the war to Denmark and Norway sent MT. Roosevelt hurrying to Washington from Hyde Park, N. r., to broaden his deflni- ticn of combat areas from which American shipping is prohibited and to immobilize all Norwegian and Danish credits and capital in this country.
 Under orders from the White House, his special train will remain in readiness for instant service at Atlanta during his holiday at Warm Springs. Under this arrangement, MT. Roosevelt will be able to leave for Washington on two hours mo- tice.
 The president was in close touch with Washington.

business conditions since last sum- mer has already started a slight upward trend in prices.
 From the beginning of the World War in 1914 to April 1917 building material prices scared on the aver age, 6S per cent. In the following three years they gained another 93 per cent making the total rise 2lS per cent above the average when the war started. Materials alone, however, are not the full basis of MT. Wenzlick's belief that costs are due to rise. Using the same typical house as an example, he points out that the cost of building it in 1914 was $4,254. In 1920, $8OO6, the bot tom of the depression, $5,053, and last year it climbed back to $6,627.
 These are actual figures, not the ory, that form foundation for MT. Wenzlick's prediction. Another point he brings out is the fact that prac- tically no apprentices have been trained during the depression. When building volume hits normal, as it appears now to be heading for that status, a marked shortage of skilled labor will bring less skilled men into the field, thus resulting in a loss of time and materials.
 Financing costs are lower now than they have even been. A de- mand for money is starting again which, as it increases, will bring about a rise in mortgage-interest rates. At present, a 20-year FILA insured loan for as much as 30 per cent of tho cost of a house may be obtained at 1-2 per cent interest plus a 1-2 per cent service charge. This is practically equivalent to the average rent paid for less desirable quarters with the profit going to the owner.
 Inevitably, as costs increase, rents will rise correspondingly. From 1885 to 1887 they rose on an average, 8 per cent. During the last World war they rose 68 per cent. Tthe builder, however, will continue his payments at the 1940 price.
 Better Homes and Gardens points out editorially that since 1795 "there has never been less than 16 years nor more than 20 between booms Another peak should be due in the fortieS."

ly spread out, making the count ing much more difficult.
 Most of the enumeration dis tricts completed and checked by field supervisors in the Waterbury area were those of a small radius with a light population. Work on the heavier districts is expected to be completed shortly.
 All enumerators who have com pleted their work and who have been released will have to wait un- til their returns are compiled and edited by the Washington bureau before they are paid. The rate of pay will be four cents for each name listed, and eight cents for each dwelling. Supervisor Byrnes said this editing will take about a Jew weeks time and the money will be forwarded to the local office to be paid out.
