You must pay out money for a
place to live. That's certain and un-
avoidable. The all-important ques-
ton is, will you rent or will you buy?
Will you pay tribute to the landlord all
your life and in the end have nothing?
Or will you pay on about the same
terms and have home that you actu-
ally own?
Remember this; Rents increase as
cities grow. There is no increased ex-
pense except a small percentage for
taxes on the home you own When you
own your own home you don't have to
keep moving to get out Of the high rent
district. The home you own is yours
to live in as long as you like. You have
more real love for an actual home than
you can for a rented place. Each year

women DO GREAT
WORK SAVINGBABIES
Appeal for Volunteer Help
ers at Children's S Emer-
gency Hospital
MISS WISE, HEAD
NURSE, IS ILL

One Of the most noteworthy services
by women during this epidemic Is the
saving Of the lives OF the babies by the
welfare division Of the Women's Com
mittee Of the State Defense Council, at
the Peoples Settlement House. Through
the cooperation Of Miss Sarah Pyle,
head OF the Settlement activities. the
Children's Emergency Hospital, es-
tabllshed in the gymnasium, has saved
the lives Of a score OF children, and If
there was help at hand, the hospital
could double the number OF patients
1t now has. which is eighteen.
The disease has taken a heavy toll in
sufferers from among the trained work
ers. First OF all Miss Margaret Wise,
supervisor Of nursing for the State De-
fense Council was taken, and the
mantle OF responsibility fell upon Miss
Elizabeth Crime. Miss Crime stuck 10
her post day anc night until she was
stricken late yesterday and at midnight
she. too, was taken to her home at
Newark. Miss Whitten, an assistant to
Miss Crime, Is now in charge.
While the work has been hard and
wearylng. those engaged in II, are more
than repaid. by the gratitude express
ed by the parents OF the children, who
have recovered from the disease.
One father came TO the settlement
today, and told Miss Pyle, that the wife
and mother had passed away last night
at the Country Club. but that he was
thankful that his six months old baby
and 3-year-old son were recovering
from the influenza at the Settlement
House.
Other instances equally as pathetic
have occurred since the hospital unit
was opened. and more good could be
accomplished II there were volunteer
helpers TO aid in this wonderful work
OF saving the babies.
In the absence OF a jsnltor, Miss
Pyle was found poking the heater fire
this morning, and trying to warm the
place up a bit for the children.
The good people OF this community
have responded nobly 10 the call for
wooden blankets and bed linen, and
now IL the workers would come for
ward. the capacity Of the gymnasium
might be increased to 30 patients.
