Building Continues

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

in rents. 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.

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.
