ii ' MOTHER'S CLOTHES
"Why, mother," cried the little boy,
hi even shining, "yna look just like a
schoolgirl iu that white waist and blue
tie. ' I like that, wear it again!" '
4 Children do. notice mother's clothe"
and are quite fine little critics. It is
interesting ami profitable to question
the reasons or their approval or dis
approval of various dresses, and a wise
mother will talk over her clothes with
tho nhildren. If she explains the reason
ahe chose a certain color, how sue has
inarched her hat to her gloves, why this
cloth is stronger than something erne,
and all the little effects that combine
thrift and good taste, the. children will
not only be pleased at her confidence in
their understanding, but will absorb
much useful knowledge about clothes.
! Sometimes a, mother does not -realize
the pride and .interest Ibo children take
in ner clonics.
"1 like to go out with you since you
made that new skirt." said a little girl,
"the other one didn't look so nice."
If- a mother gets careless or discour
aged and lets her clothes lose their
charm, the children resent it even if
hey de not voice it. It is only fair to
the children for mother to spend as much
effort and thought oh her own clothes
ns she does on their fasf-inating apparel,
and then in later years they will not de
mand everything. but will iwaut mother
to have pretty things, too.
It pays to understand and weigh a
child's remarks about clothes as that is
one way of learning how the little -brain
Is working. ' A mother came into the
room where two boys were playing and
showed them her new silvery gray straw
hat. -i
- "You look lust like a hearse," an
nounced the younger boy delightedly.
The remark was rather startling, but
the mother smiled and said, "Do you
like this hat?" -
"On. yes. its so shiny and pretty,'
replied the boy, "and I like the silver
look."
"Did you see anything today about
that same color' asked the mother,
still searching for the reason back of
that nrst remark. f
- "Yes. I saw a carriage all silver and
shiny like your hat. nodded the :cniid,
and brother said n was a hearse.
The connection was explained, for,
childlike, lie had connected the first gray
hearse he had seen with the silvery
grny hat. His mind was grasping the
fact of a new color effect. If the
mother had been Irritated at his imniils-
ive remark, or had laughed it away, she
would have hurt -the child and driven
his new thoughts and confidences into
himself. t
To dress tastefully, to bring the chil
dren into Companionship with mother by
seiiKiblv -discussing clothes and the art
of dressing, to make it a jolly, festive
occasion when mother has something
new, is to reali7.e that in the develop
ment of the child life an important Dart
is played even ny mother s oiothes.

Portland, Ore.', July 21. Local con
sumption of eggs has settled down to the
usual niid-auiuincr basis nud it does not
take. much in the way nf receipts to put
a susplus on the market. This" has given
'a weak undrrtono to prices and the
weakness has been augmented by the ef
forts of some Interests further to de-
Fress' the market here and in the east,
ower prices have been bid at country
points and resales have been made here
at reduced rates. This is not to the liking
of tbe farmer, who finds- his output cut
flpwn sharply while his production costs
huve not been reduced. Although retail
prices on the public market have been
put down to 2S cents, this has had no
rffect on jobbing quotations, as sellers
yesterday asked 211 rents and in some
instances !UI cents for selects.

Construction Work the Principal
i . V' Factor in Poom Times.
; There is general agreement that
except in war times the most import
anf fluctuations in industry are in con
struction work, either house-building
or the construction of industrial equip
ment or durable , structures of some
kind constituting lasting improve
ments. The variation in this class of:
work is much greater than in the
production of food-stuffs, wearing ap
parel and other goods that are quick
tv consumed. - A larfire proportion of
the population is required on the,
average over a period of years in the
industries that supply the new houses
and furnishings; industrial equipment
and public facilities of all kinds needed
by our growing population and that
result from the changes in tastes and
customs. If this portion of the popu
lation could be steadily employed
year in and year out our industrial
fluctuations would larsrely disappear,
but this class of work does not have
to be done with regularity, and in
fact there are great variations in it,
which affect general prosperity. When
construction work Is m full swing.' in
cluding the industries that supply the
materials, we have full employment
and the hiehest .-.state of, prosperity.
When construction- work falls off, not
only is there unemployment in the
trades1 directly affected but a loss of
purchasing power in their memoers
tbat affects all the industries. '
All construction work involves an
Investment of ' capital which, ia only
released over a term of years, and if
anwisely invested may be onremune
rative for a long time and may be
Jost. There is a marked tendency to
overdo construction from time to
time, making it necessary to wait lor
demand to catch UD with supply, and
these fluctuations have been the chief
factors in our periods of marked pros
perity and depression.
Crisis ot iszu ana iievivai or. i-ait.
The- crisis and depression of 1920,
however, had a different origin. It
was not brought about by an excess
of construction work. The great in
flation of prices was not due to activ
ity in building operations, but to' ac
tivities for war purposes and resulting
from war conditions. These activities
forced the suspension of development
and improvement in many lines, and a
deficiency existed in these lines when
the depression came on. ' Prices and
costs had been . inflated, credit was
overstrained, a fall of prices in some
lines but not in others causea inausiry
to become unbalanced, and the needed
construction work was restricted.
The revival of 1922 is attributable
to several causes working together. A
fall of prices for manufactured goods
and rise of prices lor agricultural
nroducts improved the position of the
farmers, and a great increase of con
struction -work caused a depiand for
labor anq an increase 01 purcaasiujc
power that restored general pros-
rjeritv. The Question now is whether
or not these influences have exhaust
ed themselves, and to what extent
conditions here may be affected by
events in turope.
' The Building Industry.
To what extent, has this country
made good the deficiency in dwellings,
office buildings, public buildings, and
other construction work which existed
when the depression began 7 ;'
A careful review of the building
situation as it existed a year ago was
published in June 1922, by the Cleve
land Trust Company, Irom the pen
of Col. Leonard P. Ayers. vice-president
of that institution. He summed
up his findings as follows; -,
"A study has been made of the
value of building permits - in fifty
large cities from 1900 through 1921,
and by extending tne general txena
of the pre-war expenditures an at
tcmrjt . has been . made . to estimate
what the volume of new construction
would probably -have been if the war
had not occurred.
The difference between the new con
struction actually undertaken in -the
six veara from 1910 through 1921,
and the amount that probably would
have been begun if the war had not
intervened, is so great that it is
equal to 2.44 times the estimated nor
mal construction for 1921.

fluctuations and year to year growth. -
It will be seen that it was not until
the latter part of 1921 that building
permits rose above normal and the
country began to actually gain upon
the deficit. -' ,
- The existing building shortage in
these 'fifty cities is so great that
building could continue at about 25
per cent above its normal activity for
ten year's before it would entirely
make up the deficit."
The 60 cities under examination in
clude about one-fourth ot the popu
lation of the country.
The Monthly Review of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York in its May

upon Bradstreet's figures for building
permits issued in 158 cities in, each
. , i .- in, n UL

the result into comparison with pre
war building and determine the re
lation of recent operations to normal.
normal being taken to mean the
amount of building which might be
anticipated if construction kept pace
with population. By the courtesy of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York we have reproduced the diagram
with this article.
Conclusions as to the Business
:;.- ' Outlook. ' - ' '-
- The general conclusion from the
foregoing survey would seem to be
that actual construction work will
go on at least through the present
year at about the 'capacity of the
industry, and that-employment in the
principal industries will be maintained
about as at present. If so, it will
mean a resumption of traying and
good Fall trade. If the latter is rea
lized, the present slump will have dis
appeared and the scene of our ap
prehensions will have been moved
ahead to next year.
In valuing the apprehensions which
are manifested in some Quarters about
we present situation iz snouia De con
sidered that neither the price level
nor the credit situation" is anything
lute what it was In 1920. :. No such
price recessions ' as occurred then
could occur again, even if we should
go into industrial degression, and it
iouows tnat there could be no such
losses. There is po state of credit
extension or stringency to cause pres
sure for the contraction of business or'
the sacrifice of assets. There are no
such drastic readjustments to be
made as were nude then, and no Ttnn-
sibility of suqh a shock to confidence
as in 1920. There is no occasion as in
other periods of prosneritv to ston for
the purpose of catchinir up with nrem-
arare development; tnere are no stocks
of goods to be worked off before more
are needed. Here is a nation of
110,00,000 people with dailv wants to
be supplied, and with industries now
fairly well adjusted to world condi
tions. ' In . no respect are the condi
tions parallel to those of .1920 and
1921.' The entire situation was new
and strange then.- Nobody knew what
mignt. nappen to Europe or what the
effects might be here. It was all a
guess as to how low prices might go
and who would be solvent. The whole
world has gone a long way toward
finding itself since then.
The business err is seldom entirelv
ciear oi ciouas, ana tne rise ot indus
trial costs which started last Spring
and is still in progress is unfavorable
to permanent prosperity. ' The appre
hensions which have been aroused
have served a good purpose in check
ing the pace that was developing. The
wage advances that are being demand
ed, and in niaay instances granted are
menacing, r.ot in the main because of
their effect Upon the profit of the em-
Sloyers immediately , involved. , but
ecause they threaten the . general
prosperity. This is particularly true
of those which are pressed by the ar
bitrary power of organizations which
have the power to disturb the general
business of the country, for such ad
vances interfere with the free play:
