Building Peak
| Definitely Past,
". S. Report Says

The Commerce Department re-
ported today that decline of 80
per cent in expenditures for new
construction in the first quarter of
1943, as compared with the last
quarter of 1912, shows that the
peak of new construction has def
nitely past"
1T is clear that the major part
of the preparation for full-scale
armament output has been COM
pleted," the department said, "and
that a shift Of men and materials
from construction is now taking
place"
Expeditures for new construction
in the continental United States
in the first three months of 1913
amounted to $0,2O0,0Oo 900, the re-
port said, a drop of 80 per cent from
the previous quarter and II per
cent below the corresponding period
last year.
"The drop from the fourth quar-
ter of 1912 is much larger than can
be accounted for by seasonal con-
ditions," the report continued.
Since the fourth quarter was al
ready $1,000, 100000 less than the
record high of $4,000 100000 in the
third quarter of 1912, the further
decline of $1,10O, ,0O0, 900 in the first
quarter of 1943 shows that the peak
of new construction has definitely
past"

0PA Rejection
Of fRentChanges
May Boomerang
Charles A. MuIIenix
OfMortgoge Bankers
Criticizes Decision

Refusal Of Price Administrator
Prentlss M. Brown to adjust the
rent control regulations will become
boomerang" Charles A. Mullenix,
president OF the Mortgage Bankers
Association, declared this week in
a speech at Akron, Ohio.
A few days ago the National As
sociation of Real Estate Boards pre-
sented memorandum to Mr.. Brown
asking a change in the rent control
rule along with other notifications
affecting the private building indus
try. Mr.. Brown turned down the
suggestions and claimed revision of
regulations at this time would be
detrimental.
1--WE have read with varying de-
grees of disappointment the political
decision of the administrator Of
OPA regarding rent control. The
President has ordered that we hold
the line based upon the Little Steel
formula which places theoretical
maximum of IS per cent increase
in wages above those prevailing
January /, 1941. AS whole, rents
have not increased as much as per
cent since that date, whereas all
other items in the cost of living
have increased considerable
amount above Is per cent as we all
know when we buy clothing or food
and pay several times the January
l. 1941, price for vegetables" Mr..
Mullenix said.
The administrator implies that
rent control is the only item in OPA
administration which has really been
effective. This is rare admission
and is due to two principal reasons.
The foremost is that all of the vari-
GUS organizations interested in real
estate, as well as the property own
ers, are law abiding, patriotic citi-
zens who have co-operated fully in
the prosecution of the war and, as
a result, are taking it on the chin
to suit the political convenience Of
the demagogues who are interested
first in political connivance. The
second reason Is that real estate
is so easily reached and controlled,
as has been demonstrated in the
excessive taxation against it," he
declared.
Il believe the administrator de-
cision will act as a boomerang.
From a political standpoint he has
not taken into consideration the
millions of people whose profit,
social security, and life savings are
tied up in small rental properties
as we'll as the millions of home own
ers who are coming to realize that
the attempt to socialize real estate
affects them also.
There are over 60,000,000 life in
surance policyholders in this coun-
try who have stake in the ultimate
effect of this decision. There are
other millions who have deposits in
banks and savings and loans who
are also affected.
From here on it is the duty OF
every organization interested in real
estate to begin an educational cam
,paign, as we'll as exert their inf1u-
ence to correct this gross injustice" i"
he declared.

Victory Gardeners
Told How 10 Avoid
Aching Muscles
Don't Try Too Hard on
First Day and Keep
Warm After Exercise
BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

"City slicker" gardeners must
watch out for aches and pains this
spring. Victory horticulturists who
spend all Saturday and Sunday
raking and hoeing are going to
creak at the desk Monday morning
unless they are smart about plan
ming their efforts.
About three days of constant
exercise in the sunshine would make
1t possible to harden up unused
muscles so that there would be no
further pain-but most of us will
work hard one or two days and
then forget it all until the next
week end. For this reason there
will be constant discomfort for the
men and women whose choice
gardening efforts, up to now, have
been pruning few rosebushes
and moving the lawn.
Raking and hoeing for a Sunday,
with the constant bending which is
demanded to remove weeds and
grass clods uses whole new set of
muscles. Even an agile person who
considers himself in good physical
trim is going to find out that he has
bone structure and muscle. ar
rangement that he had never
noticed before. Best advice avail
able is start slowly.
Vary Position Often.
Plan the first workday SO that
you vary your position every half
hour. Spade for half an hour, then
rake for the same length of time.
This will give your leg muscles a
rest and an opportunity to straighten
out the back muscles. Next on the
schedule-bend from the waist down
to pick up stones, clods and weeds.
Watch carefully that you don't in
dulge in too much knee bending
and squatting the first day.
If you remember your gymnasium
days you will know that 10 times
for knee bends. with a straight back
was the required amount for the
first day, and even then you usually
had shin splints. So don't forget
If you plan to go to work on Mon
day, that you must vary your ex-
