IS THE BEST WAR MEMORIAL
Town Hall or Library Serves Purpose
Well and May Replace Monu-
ments of the Past.

The question of war memorials, of
fitting tributes to those who have met
death through military service or
whose deeds have been marked by sig
nal acts of bravery, has been for
long time discussed in the foreign ar
chitectural press. A plan proposed,
and one that has met with general APP
prevail, has been the building in each
town of a permanent memorial TO mark
appreciation of the heroic men who
have gone forth in this war. This plan
will undoubtedly be found to be as
admirable in this country as it is In
Europe.
No one, says the American Archi-
tect, will criticize the patriotic i'm
pulse that prompted a grateful people
to set up in our cities and towns the
many soldiers monuments that SO
often disfgure public squares and COM
mons and which as often cause feel
ing of deep regret to every artistic OBJ
server. Now will be found an oppor-
tunity to take steps to avert in the
future very serious artistic blunder,
er influence in these matters than ar
chitects.
As the town center is the logical
place for these memorials 1t is equally
logical to assume that when properly
conceived they would exert very de-
cided influence on the future develop
ment of the neighborhood. We need
In this country better development of
community life, a more intimate inter-
mingling of the people, and there is
no greater or better method than the
facilities offered by the town or village
hall. A well-designed village hall or
library will admirably serve the pur-
poses of memorial and provide for
all the people a constant reminder of
the purposes of its erection.

table Than Being Foot-Free
and Homeless.

The owning of home q fortune
greatly desired by every man, is
achievable by most men. And yet the
proportion of Americans who live in
rented quarters grows larger year by
year.
One of the prime reasons for this
increasing tenancy is that an inereas-
ing proportion of earners are en-
ployees, and being employees they wish
to hold themselves free to move as
better employment may offer itself. To
this hope of better employment the
hope of home is easily sacrificed.
The fear of being tied to a home Is
not uncommon in those who are not
employees, says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. Some are not content to settle
down permanently, being lured by the
enchantment of the beyond that be-
yond being the other side. of the con-
tinent or the other side of the street.
Moving becomes a habit, made easy
by those whose business is transport
tation. But In the end the habit is
expensive.
AS matter of everyday demonstra-
ton, two facts stand forth: First.
being tied to a home is vastly more
profitable than being foot-free and
homeless; and, second, the home-owner
need never be tied to his home in an
undesirable way.
Few men ever accumulate enough to
carry them through life without first
being caught and tied up. Every well
established business is a financial
hitching post. The business of the life
insurance agent is to catch and tie
those who will not otherwise accumu-
late. Buying home while living in
it is one. of the surest ways on earth
TO persuade man to accumulate prop
erty.

Wide Striped STOCKINGS.

Perhaps the newest thing in stock
iHgs is the very wide stripe--from l
inch to y inches. These stripes run
vertically and are made in many coll
ors combined with white. Another
new stocking shows a stripe formed
by what we should ordinarily term
''run"-that is to say, the stripe looks
simply as if the up and down threads
of the stocking had been pulled up and
left only the threads erosswise.

G. Bernard Shaw, the Irish play

nobody but an idiot could imgaine
