THE VALUE OF ELBOW SPACE.
(S. F. News Letter.

6. T. News letter.
Elbow room is what we need most
Elbow room means opportunity. II
means a chance to work out ones
destiny unhampered by the narrowness
of crowded cities, by the unsanitary
conditions of close companionship. Ell
bow room, when it is a question of
! securing home, means health and
happiness and prosperity. Tt was never
/ the intention of the Almighty to crowd
the human family into the great Tester
! ing centers of activity. It cannot be
said that nature has, at any time,
| smiled upon the scheme of cities, the
| herding together of human beings, like
| cattle in a close pen. Man should be
| free to breathe untainted air, to drink
| pure water, and to enjoy the beauties
of nature away from bleak and bar
rem walls, fetid back yards and light
less tenements. Mans children should
grow in sunlight, where the eye may
roam on the beautiful things of ma
ture, on fields brilliant with flowers,
on stately trees and park-like lawns.
Man has always aimed at this ideal
existence, and because of the lack of
manned long time unattainable,e
With the coming of the electric car, the
steam motor, the ferry-boat, the auto
mobile, the telegraph and the tele-
phone, all of them elements of quick
travel and communication, the subur-
ban home was made possible. Then
man became avid for the space, the
elbow room, generations of Ms fore
fathers, the city dwellers. had been
denied. This is the day of the suburb
ante.
Statistical information from all the
large cities of the world show this
trend. London, New York, Vienna,
Berlin and Boston all show that the
people will no longer lodge themselves
within city walls. Countryward is the
trend. In London, the hegira is so
great that rents have tumbled to one
half in the center of the city, and in the
surrounding neighborhood.
San Francisco is learning the lesson,
and nowhere in the world is there such
an opportunity offered for the poor
man, the middle class or the rich. to
acquire elbow room.
