SPEAKING or "EARNINes"

q Horace Greeley said that the dark
eat day in any mans career is that
wherein he fancies that there is some
easier way of getting dollar than by
squarely earning it. t
Probably very few men, however,
who spend their days contriving
ways Of getting something for moth.
ing, would agree with Greeley in this
statement. From the man who spec.
ulates in real estate to the one who
contrives to have the workman at
the next bench do his work for him,
the big idea" is to get something
for nothing.
The fact is that II men and women
only got dollars they EARNED, some
of your most ahuent acquantances
would be going about in rags and tat
ters, while many of the down-and
cutters would be living in the midst OF
plenty.
People do not receive what they
earn in dollars. There is no way Of
measuring persons worth to the
world in dollars. But any man knows
in his own heart whether or not he
should be tagged thirty cents."-

FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN

Florida needs a lot Of houses for
families with children. The darker
shades of wood finishing for living
rooms is good start against the too
evident finger prints that disfigure
white enamel. Some clever designers
should be able to plan kid-proof
plumbing. We manage to protect our
property against the weather, fire, in
sects and to some extent, burglars.
why not kid-proofing?
America is the home of families,
the country is growing well and
snlendidly. Scientists are making
progress against the attacks of dis
ease, malnutrition and overwork for
children. Now let the architect stake
a hand in the game. Make the chii-
dren welcome as well as healthy.
Parents should, Of course, do their
share towards tanning the wild young
things and keeping them from crack
ing nuts with hammer on the por-
celain bath fixtures.

tells will ever welcome children.
