wi of Barley-Growing Contest " Sh iy? -~ Industries Working Overtime to Supply Materials In United Kingdom London -- Building activity in Britain has bequeathed the country's brick-making industry so much work that manufacturers are finding dif- ficulty in getting it all done, A rush to keep pace with orders,|. several firms working as much as six hours overtime, and a 800 per cent. increase in imports of bricks to fulfill demands which cannot be satisfied by home production are disclosed as items in expansion lems now facing brick makers. 'Meanwhile added significance is given to these disclopurers, it is said by the recent publication of the re- port of the National Housing Com- mittee, which suggests a Statutory Commision to organize a supply of materials for a 10-years housing scheme, It is considered that this would have an important effect in stabilizing "see-saw motions of de- mands for bricks. The present deluge of orders re- sults from "a poor man's boom." It concerns only 'manufacturers of bricks for the cheaper type of dwell- ing houses. More expensive bricks and stone facings used for important public: and private buildings are not yet in great demand. Consequently. exact and pertinent _,_ figures on the subject are difficult to find. Demands for bricks are not equal in all parts 'of the country. But. on the average in areas ' sur- rounding large towns, each month gees 76 new hands being added to every 1000 employed, At the same time the total wages bill of the in- dustry has risen by 13.3 per cent in a year. ; The demand for newlabor is great- est and most constant in the Peter- borough and Durham districts." But the outskirts of London are so short of necessary ~ bricks that imports from the Netherlands and Northern Europe have had to be increased threefold. Returns show that in May, 1933, 10,668,000 bricks were imported. The figures for May this yéer rose to 25,966,000. June shows an increase to a total of 32,887,000 - bricks. Elsewhere, : although many manufacturers declare themselves to be "snowed --under," employment is improving without showing any rapid rise. ? Pevious experience of the brick trade show that boom conditions, which almost invariably include the launching of large public building schemes do not last long. As soon as confidence is lost, the local au- thorities drop their housing plans. And the brick industry, expanded to meet an expected constant large de- mand over several years, suffers im- mediately. Many men are thrown out of work. Leaders of the industry - declare that if they could be given a guar- antee that local housing schemes, once started, would be carried to completion, they could expand with- out fear and so help to stabilize the figures of employment. Such a state of affairs has been| visualized as an integral part of any new national housing plan by the National Housing Committee, under the chairmanship of Lord Amulree, vice-president . of the Building In- dustries National Council, The proposed Statutory Commis- sion would survey housing needs, help local' authorities, and see that slum clearance and rehousing were brought under one coherent national scheme. The building program would be financed, Lord Amulree's committee declares by a National Housing Stock under Treasury guar- antee. / " The committee has budgeted for a minimum of 1,000,000 new houses or of 10 shillings.a week or less. "After an intensive search into pre- vailing building costs and land charges, the committee has come to the conclusion that subsidizetion would only be necessary where land is exceptionally expensive and rates high, or where the workers cannot afford 10 shillings a week. But most important to the brickj industry, the committee declares that a housing commission such as they envisage should organize a supply of materials so as to keep do costs by making demand a known quantity. wT Although the Amulreo committee was a self-constituted body with no legal or constitutional significance its report seems to have been fa- vorably received. The committee in- cluded among its members a past president of the Royal Institute of British Architects, three housing au- thorities, a director of the Bank of England, and two celebrated = Dpro- gressive business men. as well as some technical authorities. The second richest man in the world is the eighteen year-old Ma- harajah of Gwallor , who possesses jewels alone worth 4,000,000 pounds.

Cranking an Auto . (Stratford Beacon-Herald) A report which comes from Ponti- ac, Mich,, tells about a gentleman of seventy years who started in his car to visit his brother who lived on a farm a few miles out. He ran into a piece of bad road and his car stuck. He worked for a time trying to 'push it, and then found it necessary to crank the engine. Later he was found sitting in the car--dead. } A doctor who was called said that the reason of the heart attack, which caused death, was too. much exertion trying to get the engine started. He gave it as his opinon that only =a man in fine physical condition should ever try to crank an engine. The effort was too great for a man of seventy and even for a man of lesser years it was dangerous. One does not see so much' of this now as during the winter when a number of cars are hard to start. Cranking an engine, particularly in a-heavy car, is exhausting work and the. man who has any reason to sus- pect tht his heart is not the best should never try it.

One of the latter was shown at a recent meeting of the Royal Horti- cultural Society 'at Westminster, It was a tree, known by the name of Liquidambar Orientalis, which had never previously borne fruit since its planting at Woburn Abbey nearly 100 years ago. At the Horticultural Society's meeting a new variety of greenhouse Bougainvillia, usually with mauve colored blossoms, was also on view. It had been named Orange King. Its flowers were of luscious orange color, fading into rose. A new hardy fu- chsia has also flowered, and been named Mrs, Popple. Meanwhile agriculturalists of Lin- colnshire and the sugar beet coun- ties are also enjoying success. The beet lifting began with a iecord English- crop of nearly 400,000 acres. Factories have had to raise their capacity, some raising it as much as 300 tons a day, to deal with the increased yield. Lincolnshire growers are now producing double the yield of beet per acre compared with only a few years ago.

The idea has not yel wholly disappeared as can be seen by | the amount of snobbism there is in the world, a snobbism arising out of a vulgar estimate of the importance of material possessions or of fashion- able place.
