For the Good of
 the Community

 the residuum is choice between home and the price of that home otherwise ex- pended
 Homes have not been built in the num- bers required because men and women have preferred other things. There never was time when the home was not within economical reach compared with what was preferred as substitute.
 Just as soon as men and women reac- quire love for homes they will build them; not before.
 Discussion of what has taken the place of the home is idle. In one case it has been an automobile. In another it has been de- sire to reside in exclusive neighborhoods. In still others it has been disinclination to the worries of housekeeping. Again 1t has been the calculating spirit which de- clared in favor of the risk of investment by third party.
 There has been lot of cuckoo spirit; rearing the young in the nest that others have laboriously built. Not until the past
  voice in protest. The field sparrow has disputed the possession of her home and the enjoyment of her toll. She has levied a charge on her vicarious motherhood in keeping with the labor involved. The amazed cuckoo is astonished at this change of front. He resents the depriva- tion of an unearned privilege.
 
 Miss Sparrow has not always been considerate in the exercise of her new in- dependence She has made the cuckoo sweat drops of anxiety and worry and she has here and there added a peck of her bill that has brought blood. The cuckoo habit has met it's Waterloo. There IS only one way out. It must learn how to build it's own nest: found it's own family altar.
 What the comparatively well-to-do can do can be done in proportion by all. Many have built the beginnings of a home in ex- elusive residence sections on total ln- vestment of little over S4 900, including lot and at the expiration of a period of five years, during which they pay $6O per month, will own this home in fee simple.
 What is done on $2,000 lot in choice neighborhoods can be done. on $500 to S1,OOO lots in any of the beautiful suburbs of Birmingham. It can be done for S1,5OO and for $2,0OO.
 It is a question of choice. Something else must be put aside for the time being if the home is to be acquired. If the home costs money, so does the narrow apart ment. If the home costs money so does the automobile. If there is some self-de- nial in acquiring and caring for home, there is much more anxiety in meeting the high monthly charge for the apartment and the upkeep of the automobile, not to mention the other incidentals of the su- preme effort to make as good showing on less money as others do on more.
 In other countries millions of tenant folks have raised rebellions because they were not allowed to own homes In America home is within economic reach

prizes being offered for the winning
troop as well as for individual Win
ners in the various events.
Rather than hold the regular in
dividual field and track meet, it is the
intention to hold a group competition
in which every scout in the city will
participate and will score points both
for himself and for his troop.
The committee in charge says that
in this way cooperation and team
play are more readily assured than
through a meeting in which only the
specialists in each event take part. In
such a group contest, the individ-
ual is obliged to participate in a num-
Der of events grouped together of
which the total result figured in point
determines the victims. 1t is claimed
to be far superior to the single event
contest, as it makes for all-round ef-
ficiency and develops speed, skill,
strength and endurance.

were construed as unfavorable, some
other excuse would undoubtedly have
been found for the reaction that took
place.
Apart from professional circles the
marking up of federal reserve dis
counts was taken as not at all dis
turbing but on the contrary as some
thing that was called for as part OF
the banking program for stopping
credit expansion and bringing about
deflation. Moreover new rates were
quite in keeping with those which
have prevailed for some time in the
general money market. a Z per cent
charge for rediscounts on commercial
loans is not out Of line with the I II
10 ~. per cent which the membe r
banks have long been charging for
discounting this class of paper. The
money market was not prepared. and
Immediately the new schedule was
made known for the federal reserve
bank both call and time loan quota

after. The sinking fund payne nts will
be used for the retirement of not less

General List.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The ostensible
reason for the decline in the market
this morning was the action which
was not commonly expected of the
local federal reserve bank in revising
upward its schedule of discount rates.
The speculative following which al
ways does things hastily concluded
that this development was very bear
ish and threw over the stocks which
it had been buying last week. This
liqu ida ton plus renewed operations
for bear account carried the leading
industrials down point in most in
stances and in some cases and even
points before the movement was
checked.
The selling was Of a highly specula-
tive sort and was. therefore. of no
Importance. Quite likely it would
have occurred anyway for mere tech
nicaI reasons. That is the market had
had pretty uninterrupted rise for
nearly week.
In the course of this rise the short
interest had been diminished quite
largely. while on the other hand the

WISH COMES TRUE
AFTER MANY YEARS,
Lived in Hope Of Regaining
Health-Tanlac Made Her
Well and Strong.

"For long time" said Mrs. NJ.
7. Whitlow, of 2705 East Grace St.,
Richmond, Va, 81 lived in hopes that
some day l would get back my health
and by the help of Tanlac my wish
has at last come true, for have
gained fifteen pounds in weight and
am now n strong, we'll and happy
woman.
81 never knew what it was to feel
hungry, and just had to force my
self to eat little something to keep
alive. What l did eat seemed to do
me no good, and got in such bad
ly rundown condition that l had to
have someone to do my homework.
| was so nervous. weak and dizzy
that / could not get out of my chair
without holding on to something to
keep from falling. Sometimes there
was such swimming in my head
that everything seemed to be whirl-
ing around, and for rtwo or three
months l was so sick and weak that
my family were all uneasy about me.
FINALLY | went to hospital for
treatment, but this nor anything else
did me any good. There was sicken-
ing taste in my mouth all the time
and my nerves were completely shat
tered. AT night l would just lie wide
awake, suffering, worrying and Won
dering if there was nothing made
that would help me. In the mornings
always felt so bad that | could not
get up until late in the day, and then
could do nothing but sit around.
"But thanks to Tanlac my condi-
ton is altogether different now. /
had ont finished the first bottle be-
II
person. My appetite returned, was
sleeping better and began to feel like
stirring around. Now l am able to do
all my own work, for | am feeling
perfectly well and strong. Every sign
of stomach trouble, nervousness and
dizziness has left me and my appetite
is so good thaat can hardly get
enough to eat. Besides eating three
hearty meals a day take lunch be-
tween meals and enjoy every mouth
full. If Tanlac has done no more than
