Conflict Between Rival
Types of Homes.

less. VIII always dwell in flats An
cannot live In the best tcuscs All
cannot have the most comfortable
homes.
Masses OF worries must be within n
rev minutes wax % :ee.r rlaces OF
daily toll Other masses Tor other rea-
sons want to live In coueos.ci residcn-
tial districts close TO Mauhattan's BUSH
ness centres.
But the future millions Of New
Workers will be able TO throw OF the
sordld atmosphere OF business as soon
as they dart away through the rapid
transit subways from the noisy never
resting Island OF Man attain. They
will centre their lives In pretty family
dwellings. SURROUNDED by lawns. gar
dens. trees and other wcll-kept houses
They Will. leave tie ncrve-racking stress
and strain OF Manhattan fJr a night OF
peaceful rest IN suburban homes. In
the morning they will be ready again
