600 people has only 100000 landown-
ers But one of each seven register
ed voters has an inch of earth he can
call his own. OF every nine families
with the average membership of five,
only one owns lands. The rest are

of landlords, migrating from place to
place rs the spirit and the rent collec-
tor impel. Conditions i'm New York
are scarcely typical, for the contract
ed area the large percentage of new
Immigrants and other abnormal condi-
tions make home owning difficult. 1t
is, however, true that a surprisingly
small proportion of families in any of
the larger American cities have legal
possession of the roofs that shelter
them. 1t is estimated that, taking the
United States as a whole approx
matcly half the families own their
own homes, but this comparison is
maintained only because the inhabi-
tants of rural sections largely follow
the example Of their forefathers and
are not content until they can call a
home their own. The city IS the
abode Of the migrant.

Millions In Automobiles.

While the automobile is of older
use abroad than here, statistics show
that more money is invested in autos
in the United States than i'm all of
the rest OF the world combined. In
the first place, the country is the most
resourceful and prosperous and the
percentage of people able to indulge
in such costly luxury is much great

ural trait born of the everyday life
of the American people. AS it's bust
ness life is strenuous, so is it's rec
