A larger private ownership of homes

an interview published by the Wash

"There is material for building hous
es in almost every community" said
Mr. Jones, "and 1t is not u question
of style of construction, but the most
available. In one of the big plants
in Ohio all sorts of houses have been
bullt-from brick, stone, wood, con
crete and even iron-and all are not
only commodious, but comfortable ant
durable. Modern engineering has en-
abled builders to construct houses more

BUSINESS AND MODERN AUTO
AZ Essential to Maintenance Of Eff
cheney as Telephones or Lights
In Metropolis.

The automobile is an integral neces
sity of modern life. We can no more
do business or maintain our efficiency
without cars than we can without tele.
phones or lights or sewerage in cities
or any other of the thousand and n
things we have today our g~randslres
wot not of.
The modern car is just as much a
necessity as a steam derrick, a delivery
truck or a locomotive. Its manufac-
ture would not ACT the astonishing
proportions of the present industry If
it weren't. The estimated 1917 produc-
ton was almost 100000 passenger
cars-1.818,9SS. to be exact-with q
value Of $1,059.O56,073 wholesale, ex.
elusive of 100000 commercial cars
with a wholesale value of S272, 769, 800.
We produce trucks and commercial
vehicles today worth more thar half
the value of all cars made three years
ago.
Three years ago 1000 people were
engaged in automobile manufacture.
Today there are over half a million d.
rectly engaged, and no one knows ex-
actly how many more produce parts,
accessories, garages, oils, tires, etc.
Some people who ought to know say
that the automobile industry will be
rated as the first in the country in
1918.

GOOD news CONES
FROM ALL FRONTS
WITH THREE OF THE CENTRAL
POWERS OUT OF THE WAR,
HUNS MUST GO 1T ALONE
Germany, With Her Back Door Open
and Subject to Attack on the Eastern
Front, Is Awaiting Armistice
Terms of the Allies.

Washington.-The war situation has
materially changed during the past
week. 1t has been a week crowded
with stirring events, all the news that
m from the battlefields being re-
garded as good news for the allied
nations fighting for world freedom.
Turkey has surrendered under most
rigorous conditions imposed by the al
e Austria has been making desper-
ate attempts to secure an armistice be-
fore her army is annihilated by the
Italians and the allied forces-and an
armistice has been signed.
Germany, with her back door open
INT subject to attack on the eastern
front. is still making some show of
resistance in France and Belgium,
while awaiting the armistice terms of
the allied council Mt Versailles. The
kaiser has taken refuge at the general
headquarters and his abdication has
been announced in Paris as a fact ac-
cOmplished. This, however, has not
been substantiated.
Count Tisza, former Hungarian
premier, has been assassinated by a
soldier at Budapest, and Hungary has
attempted to set up an Independent
government. A new state has been
formed out of the German-speaking
provinces of Austria, and Emperor
Charles is reported to have left Vienna
after counseling the government not
to resist the people in establishing a
new order of things.
The chief military event of the week
has been the vigorous attack upon the
Austrians in Italy, and it may truth
fully be said that the Italians have
more than wiped out the memory Of
their former defeat.
The Americans, British, French and
other allied troops on the western front
have gained more territory and towns.
Valenciennes has fallen into the hands
of the Canadians. Thousands of Ger
mans have been captured and many
others killed or wounded. In two days
the Americans and French advanced
between five and ten miles and cap
tured nineteen villages. They also car
ried the heights between the Lys and
Scheldt rivers, after hard fighting. The
British have been battling continu-
ously during the week and have liber-
ated more of the French and Belgian
people who have been suffering under
German control for more than four
years.
1t does not appear probable that the
Germans will resist very much longer.

The Society of Little Gardens from
the time of its inauguration recognized
street tree planting as one of h city's
most vital needs and its interest in
the idea received a tremendous i'm
petus from the clever plan conceived
and carried out by Miss Edith Howe
in the early spring of 1915.
Instead of contenting herself with a
couple of trees in front Of her own
door, Miss Howe determined to have
the whole block planted in an effective

suited the Fairmount park commits
~sioners, who have charge of the trees
in the streets of Philadelphia. They
were glad to assist her. and sent her an
expert who drew up a ground plan of
the block, with an estimate of the cost
of planting; and armed with this she
invited her neighbors to cooperate
with her.
Her success was remarkable. Enough
money was subscribed not only to plant
the trees, but to have them cared for
for three years.
Some of the officers of Little Gar
dens, hearing of this well-thought-out
plan and its results, determined to try
the same methods of a larger scale and
endeavor to have all Spruce and Lo-
Gust streets and others transformed
into Accordingly letters were
written to a number of public-spirited
women inviting each to undertake the
planting of her own block and, in re-
ply, IL agreed to make the experiment.
That the effort has not been invariably
successful goes without saying. Never
theless, much has been accomplished.
