An ingenious new accessory that Is a boon to smokers has Just been introduced in the form of an automatic lighter.

Faced with conMinneapolis. struction costs which. in the last few months have ' soared close to boom-tim- e levels, disappointed middle-class families from New York to Seattle are postponing or cancelling their home building plans in considerable numbers, according to a survey of 83 large and small American cities by Northwestern National Life Insurance company of Minneapolis. Though 1937 residential construction thus far shows a substantial percentage increase over the meager levels of tiie past few years, activity has fallen far short of predictions, which foresaw a home building boom in 1937 generated by the combination of widespread economic revival and a tremendous .housing shortage. Furthermore, the margin of improvement over 1936 is shrinking as new cost increases take effect, according to a consensus oi real estate boards, mortgage loan companies and architects in 65 of the 8B cities checked in the survey. The identical home which could be built for 34,000 at average wage and material levels of 1936 costs $4,602 today, an increase of 15 per cent; home building costs have jumped 54 per cent since March 1, and now stand at 94.8 per cent of 1926-2boom levels, according to the study. Ilit Home Building. five out of sixteen major citIn ies in which comparative costs are tabulated In the report, residential construction costs exceed the 1926-2averages for those cities, namely Cincinnati, Cleveland, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Seattle. , Prevailing opinion quoted in the report is that increased costs have hit the building of small homes hardest. The prospective builder of a higher priced home is affected more or less temporarily he either raises more money eventually or decides to take less house for his money, states one observer quoted in the report. But the necessary boost of $500 to $800 in the price of a small home has the effect of putting out of the prospect class numerous families of modest income who were formerly potential buyers. Contractors in many localities report that it is already difficult to build even a small modem . house for under $3,000. Many speculative builders are out of the market, according to the. report, having cancelled earlier plans for an active building year. Many residential contractors have ceased contract work, declaring that for the immediate future at least they will undertake new construction s only on a basis, with tha buyer taking the risk of wage and material boosts. Many Jobs Lost Architects 'and contractor! report the loss of many jobs previously contemplated, when cost figures are Out of 33 residential presented. jobs figured in the last 90 days, only three are fcoing ahead is a typical comment from a Minneapolis 9 9 cost-plu- building contractor. Rentals must increase 25 per cent generally to catch up with present building costs and encourage new construction, according to a Chicago building publishers response. People are afraid to put up rental property because of the inadequate return on their investment. We must expect higher rents next fall, and another boost in the spring. Two more rent advances aggregating 25 per cent will probably make new building profitable again. . In 18 of the 83 cities reporting in the survey, however, home building has been affected little or none by the rise in costs. One of the bright spots of the situation is that considerable prospective new construction money has been diverted into the purchase and improvement of older houses; the floating supply of distress property left by the depression has been practically cleaned up in many cities. Some observers point out that sheer pressure of housing needs will resumption of eventually building, operations, regardless of higher costs. force . f Female Rats Are Hard to Trap, Says Rat-Catch- er Lorain, O.

In the Old Testament there is a mention of hunting with trained birds." Ho-- ; mer, Aristotle and Pliny all speak of the sport. The Chinese and Japanese were passionately devoted to hunting with- hawks and falconry is practiced in their countries, as well as hi India and in North Africa by natives, relates a correspondent in the New York Times. All medieval European aristocracies played with hooded birds of prey. The sport persisted into modem times in Hungary and in England and sporadically in various oth' er continental countries. Falconry is probably the most highly formalized recreation in the world. Its methods and customs are by immemorial custom rigidly prescribed, and it has a vernacular all its own. How completely this old terminology is lost to the public is illustrated in the very name of the sport; the average person is quite sure that a falcon ia a species of bird, while actually the word merely denotes the female of any of a number of breeds. The female hawk d is about larger and heavier than the male, and is a superior hunter. , Persons who may care to take up hawking must do some work on the venerable lexicon pertaining to it,', as well as learn how to handle and use the birds. A falcon does not have wings, for example; they are "sails. And one must know what haggards" and cadgers are, as well as what it means when the hawk towers, stoops, pounces and jouks.

Despite its general disfavor, among men, the owls deserve high praise in their devotion to eggs and young at nesting time, asserts a writer in the Detroit Free Press. Sometimes, they begin nesting as early as February, when they may be exposed to fierce storms and low temperatures, often for days at a time. It is a marvel how the eggs are kept from freezing in a nest exposed, as it usually is, in the top of a tall, bare tree. Only the most devoted, unswerving attention to duty can save them. In defense of their young, these owls will attack almost any intruders. After spending about a month in the nest, the young begin to fly, but accompany their parents for a time only until they learn to forage for themselves.
