The Child Who Runs Away

Marion Brownfield in Christian Herald.
 This is the problem in curing the runaway child-to make the punishment fitting and one which will act as a deterrent.
 The best punishment, if such it may be called. is a constructive one. That is, it consists of offering a counter at traction at home to the amusement that the little runaway seeks. Most children who play in the street do so because they do not have an attractive backyard or playroom The safest play ground is surely at home, and such equipment as a sandpile, a swing, tee ter totter, small garden tools and pets are really economical investments in the long run, as they may be the means of saving children from bad habits of the street, or even serious accidentsl
 Many times it is only little tact that will cure a runaway Most children for a first offense can have either their jus tice or affection appealed to in this way. A good deal depends, of course, on how strictly child is trained to return from school, store or other errands. Some children undoubtedly become much more easily absorbed in wayside distractions than others, but if lettering is always discouraged by parents the first step to- ward preventing runaways is effected. If children learn that they will miss something because they do not do their part by being on time, they will make an effort tozbe as prompt as anyone.

 comparison of total battleship forces available in 1920 with 1910 shows that this year there are eighteen dreadnoughts and nineteen pre-dreadnoughts, eXclud- ing the Oregon class, against twenty three pre-dreadnoughts in 1910, including the Oregon class. Most of the battleships listed as available in 1910 are now con sidered obsolete
 Ten years ago the navy destroyer force consisted of about thirty-eight vessels including seventeen torpedo boats, even then practically obsolete. This year Ao- mirals Wilson and Rodman command de- stroyer forces aggregating- more than POO vessels, with over 100 more in reserve or under construction. 1910 sixteen subma- rines were carried on the active list of the navy This year nearly 100 of the submersibes are attached to the two fleets, with about seventy-five under construction
 The cruiser strength of the navy has shown little change in the past ten years. In 1910 the backbone of the cruiser force was the "big eight armored cruisers, now reduced to six by the loss of the San Diego and the Memphis. No light cruisers of importance have been launched in the last decade
 One of the most striking increases in American naval strength in the past ten years has been in auxiliary vessels. Both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets now have ellzorganlzed and complete '1trains' of hospital ships, supply boats, repair yes sells, refrigerating ships, ammunition and fuel ships, in addition to motor patrol vessels, submarine chasers, mine sweep CTS and mine layers, converted yachts, submarine and destroyer tenders and troop transports. practically undreamed of a decade ago.

Low Building Plan Prevents Congestion and Pays Bet

By AssnnIatnh Prn.,

Minneapolis, Minn., July S1 Low buildings erected on expansive lots are more profitable than skyscrappers tow ering into the air. in the opinion of va rious members of the National Associa- tion of Building Owners and Managers expressed at their annual convention here. This is contradictory to the gen. erally accepted theory of realty men.
 Reading paper at one of the sessions l on Analysis of the Comparativ Invest ment Value of Office Buildings of Va rious Heights Edwin s. Jewell of Omaha, an advocate of the low building theory, said that since land values are enhanced by the increase in population in section and not by the size of build ings on it, structures under ten stories in height were more profitable in that a saving would be made on the tremen- dous cost of foundation and enormous elevator equipment.
 If builder erects a six to eight story building in a part of the city that
 is the business section, Mir. Jewell said and if that business section shifts in a decade or two, the structure readily be used for a factory, warehouse or other purposes. It is still a marketable building. The same is not true of thes skyscraper.
 When builders begin to erect low buildings in our cities, the tremendous amount of money now being used for building foundations, and sub-basements can be put into other buildings. The money put into elevators heavy frame work and other incidentals necessary to
 
 for a good, practical office building four to six stories high covering the same piece of ground
 MT. Jewell, who is chairman of the operating experience committee of the Building owners and Managers Associa- tion, also asserted that the low office building plan would spread the busi- ness districts of cities over wider areas and raise land values, enabling cities to raise more revenue for schools and oth- CT public improvements
 The low building plan" he said, would prevent congestion, promote safety and good health and by forcing the spreading of the business district over wider area provide more stores, which would result in greater competi- ton and lower prices to the buying pub- lie"
 A low building. MT Jewell asserted. can be built for IA cents per cubic foot cheaper than a tall building of the same quality because cement can be used in- stead of steel

Jewell asserted he had made a l study of revenues from a large number of office buildings in more than fifty | cities, adding that the receipts and ex- | pendtures from 143 buildings in 1919 | showed an average income of about si. 4l per square foot whereas it would re- quire $2.b4 per square foot to make the | investment realize six per cent the central glazer's office and pay the | price shown by the ticket and receive | lapor card.
