measures taken, it became known today
that unusual precaution is being exercised
by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to

pleased to learn Of the possibility of a
participation by Great Britain in the

Although officially it has been as
serted by Great Britain that the heavy
expense of participating in many ex-

declination TO take part in the San

it has been suggested that the attitude
of the United states over the Panama

This Ia the era Of the inexpensive
house. From present indications more
houses of this character will be built
during the coming season than during
any similar period for many years.
This fact goes to prove that the home
owning instinct will survive any condi-
ton of higher prices for building ma
terials.
It Is natural to live in ones own
home; it is unnatural to live In
rented house or apartment The fam1ly
that lives in its own house, no matter
how humble that may be, feels sense
of independence that does not come
to the family in a rented house. The
renter feels, IL he does not say 1t, after
paying his rent: Well. have a place
and a roof for my family for 80 days
more. I must leave after that If l do
not pay. And even during these 50
days We only have the use OF the
house; 1t is not ours, but must be
turned over to the owner when we are
through with it.
But the man or woman who has
little house built from careful saving
has none of these feelings. There is
a sense of security. of ownership. OF
permanence, that makes life happier
for them.
The security OF the race lies in the
home instinct. and it is backward step
every time IL is stultified. Your chill
dren have a right to a home of their
own. You often hear people say: 1T
costs more to own home than 1t does
