LIVING IN GARAGES.

When man who does not own his home is forced
to give up his rented quarters and lacking sufficient
money start a larger scale. buys lot and
builds a garage to live in temporarily, he is on the
upward road. and should be commended. But when
a man who does not need the money sells his home
for an exorbitant figure, and instead of purchasing
a home commensurate with his means proceeds TO
house his family in garage, meanwhile boarding
his money or using further profteerng. he
is lowering the standard Of living, and deserves the
contempt OF his neighbors.
There are justice and common sense in this view.
Necessary economies may always be practised with
dignity Extravaganza is always to be deplored, but
miserliness greed quite another matter
One of the worst features of present inflated real
estate values is that many people have sacrificed
the home sense to mOney-grabbing. The permanent
