A.f Shakespeare, the Kreat philoso pher, om.e said, "You can HtriiiK beans and kid Kloves, but yuu can't bull-frees." A nation-wide survey of building permit.! issued in July indi cates that liijsii material and labor costs have not caused discour agement to many of those planning construction. A total of $2:55, 000,000 in 2:!S cities embraced in Hie review shows that building is still at high tide, these figures being 11. 1 per cent greater than in the conesixmding month last year. In the south alone is there less activity than a year highest percentage of gain. That theie is no material lull in build ing at peak costs is proof of the belief of those thus putting their money into such enterprises that there is no immediate hope gen erally of a marked decline in prices and that the demand warrants the investment. i'l'l f woman can make Hit .... . , ft .1 . iivorry iiu.l work of married life seem If present conditions in building promise a piofit on the stiuc- ., ,,(.:l.,,.r to ,,,.

This may not lie comforting to those who long for a; decline in this important factor in the cost of living, but high cos', j of new buildings will not diminish rents while it will assist in mam-; taining present rates on older buirdings. It has been the belief; of some that a reduction of the shottage of housing would lead t ; lower rents, but conditions are such aS to prevent any great excess. Those who are building at present rates certainly are doing it a s a matter of urgency. The situation is not such as induces construction as a matte" of speculation in hope of a material rise in values. It happens that the activity is not unifoim over the country, but taken as a whole it is evident that there is a large amount of capital loose for build ing despite conditions which might be regarded as unfavorable. It is proof of the general prosperity of the country notwithstanding that agriculture has been hit hard by prices. I'll,-. iiNl.y TI.MK A WO.MK.V IS KIM.VOMIC'AI. IN TIIK MAT TKI; OK CI.OTIIKH.

The widow of a motion picture actor who recently died after an unsuccessful attempt to break the grip of drug addiction Jia. been publishing a series of "exposures" with the professed intent j ', to fight the drug evil. Now it is announced that she has received j ' more than a score of death threats wiitten by addicts. ;, ' First! mictions" may sifggest that the. "death threat" story is 1111 a preTwnMMbi. floW flAlffi. f ,it worth iv-hiio to l-ecogni.e that the attitude of the addict' toward unylhinjr vr: ', anyone tlircattning to restrict the source of supply is one of des- peration. It is not so generally, believed, nevertheless, that (lie ' desperation of the narcotic addict is motivated by disease rather j than bv inherent or acquired criminality. j ', An ipleix'-ting discussion of narcotic addiction has been writ . 'l for i!i.- last number of Currant Ilistoiy by a medical authority. I Tho point made here is that most of the narcotic addicts, esti-' . m.ueti at a million in the United Stales, have come into their sorry condition as a result of attempts to relieve suffering by medical, administration. The theory is that, when considerable quantities of a drug are given to quiet pain, the body builds up a defense against the poiron of the drug. When, in turn, the use of the drug is discontinued the defense huill up by the body becomes in itself ',ini rctive irr-t.ant. causing excruciating physical tortures that can' be relieved en'.v by a fresh intervention of the original drug. The writer makes the argument that the "craving" of (he narcotic i.d-i did is not mental but physical, jiot something to bo stilled by his .will, and quite beyond his control. That is not a piclty picture. It seems to call for a new alti tude on the part of many physicians and the public generally tn- 'ward an all too numerous class of unfortunates. Tin- family nines Out.
