EESUMPTIO OF BUILDING Important iu Hie process o getting back to "normalcy" is resumption of building operations, not only the building of hornet, but of business blocks and industrial plants or extensions. This work work was practically suspended without entrance into the war. Lumber dealers point to a decided reduction in prices and say that the next move is for dealers in other building materials and workers to make if anything worth while is to be done towarde stimulating building. Little progress seems to have been made in reduction of co6ts except in lumber. j Those whe would be willing to engage in building nterprises if cost conditions were made right appear to have left it with the contractors, the dealers and the workers to bring about an understanding that will encourage erection cf homes and construction along other lines. Xot only is it important that there be a lowering of costs of building, but construction work will be band icapped until there is a lowering of interest rates. Many large building projects are financed with borrowed Money, and many homes are built on loans. 'resent interest rates discourage investment in building. Plans lor new buildings to be erected during the current year are being made now, and it is to the common Interest that a basis of operations be agreed upon. It is unreasonable to expect that yiel-ding to lower costs be dene by only one or two of the eU-mejits upon which building depends. It is time for all "f them to get together.

It might be well to- clear the statute books of a large number of laws that are inoperative and ineffective. But there is little reason to hope that t anything will be done along the lines suggested. When a man is sent to congress or the state legislature, he goes with the idea that he was chosen fcr the purpose of making changes in the laws, and he proceeds to go us tnr as his follow members will permit. Fewer laws and more obedience to basic principles might help 1o overcome the spirit of lawlessness now giving so r.ru-h c.ucren to the authorities.

WATCH YOUR AUTO ! The action of the supreme court of t!w- t'nited .-u-tes !s upholding that section of the V 1-stead law .-hich says that a vehicle may be held w.7T;n it used ".-!- the transportation of intoxicating liquor legally, . o.ilu be of interest to a large number or persons. The clsion should discourage the promiscuous loaning of .tomobiles r other conveyances when there is any .fiction of the use to which they may be put. It is . tter to play safe in ttiis case than to regret the loss : .' valuable piope ty by confiscation. The action of the supreme court was based on f! easa which had it origin in Georgia, where the owner of an automobile -tied to recover the property from the government prohibition enforcement officers, who IiaiT taken possession of the machine after it had been used transport liquor in violation of the law. The justice who read the decision of the court quoted from the Morale law tc show that, an instrument u.-.ed in an illegal or Injurious way came under the condemnation of the Taw. as In the case of an ox which bad gored a person to death. The idea thaj the Georgia man did not know the use to which the automobile was to be put did not have any iniuencf1 with the court, which held that the owner took all the risks when his property was given into ttiG control of another. The decision of the court will affect the claims of tiuite a number of persons, for many automobiles and trucks have been seized by law-enforcement officers of the federal government. It will at least have the effect of making many persons more careful in ascertaining the use to which their property is to be put.

MAKE A WILL. Among educational campaigns being conducted under various auspices is one giving every man and every woman a reminder of the duty of making a will and of appointing competent and responsible executors. The importance of this should be plain, yet thousands die yearly without leaving wills. Under the circumstance, their property is disposed of acocrding to state laws, which cannot undertake to deal with the families in accordance with individual requirements. Frequently Injustice results, with much suffering entailed. This emphasizes the duty of making a will.- Men and women should realize that only in this way can their estates be distributed as they would wish. The chief trouble, however, is simply neglect. Some who realize their duty ta have their wills drawn keep putting off the discharge of itto "another time". I'.ut a fatal accident or a sudden illness affecting their minds and rendering them mentally incompetent to the end may occur and. obviously, make it impossible to lepalr the neglect. While the normal expectation cf those iu their prime is to live "to three score and ten" or more, it is only common sense and common prudence to recognize the uncertainty of life. Although the drawing of a will naturally takes into consideration the certainty of the coming death some time to the testator, it should constantly be kept uppermost that the whole purpose of the instrument is the service of life; the care of the "dear ones" of the decedent who lemaln behind of the cause of humanity is general. The drawing of a will ought to be reconi.d a a thing not to be put off. TAMING THE ELONDE Perhaps the song writer asked a more p: ofound question than ke knew when he demanded, in the syncopated oaooyhany of jazz, the question: "What Makes the Wild Women Wild?" The subjct has been keenly considered by (he American Association of Optometrists, which met recently in its annual convention in Chicago. And the optometrists have found the answer, too. If is nothing more or less than the ultra-violet rays in the sunlight. These rays irritate the nervous system and especially the eye. The cure, therefore, is of course to wear tinted glasses. Very simpie. and It helps tiie business of tlie cputoruetrist. Blondes are especially liable to the affliction. And everybody from the professor to the tired business man, in the front row, center aisle, of th-.v girly show knows bow wild a wicked blonde can be. The blondes, according to Madison Grant, the noted ethnologist, are the remnants cf the Nordics, once the dominaut race of Europe. The Nordics res;v;ndants. Grant says, are the highest racial type yet developed. He fears that the race i3 gradually being exterminated. Let's get a law passed that every blue-eyed, fairhaired baby doll must wear smoked glasses, and get the druggists to give a pair free with every bottle of peroxide. Civilization must be saved. The blonde must be tamed. The thin-furred caterpillars, on which the prediction of a mild winter was based, had better stick to their retreats for a few weeks longer.

It looks as if it wculd require something more than the present measure of unemployment to start a "back to the farm" movement.

Few persons realized that deflation would be so painful.

The suggestion that more farmers be sent to congress should be accompanied by the one that mom congressmen be sent to the farms.
