be missed rather than assured by
overspeeding; and that chauffeurs
shall observe the regular traffic rules

There's no lilac bush that's richer than the

And the patch of sky above 1t is the patch
/ hunger for;
Oh, I've seen some gorgeous blossoms and
I've caught their fragrance fine.
But of all the lilacs growing, there IL only
one that's mine.
There's an elm tree that I'm fond of, and
1t isn't much TO see,
But the humblest of its branches seems to
mean a lot to me;
It's the one tree that long for, when I'm
called upon to roam,
Tho the world is rich with elm trees, there
is only one at home.
The world Is filled with children, but of
all its merry crew
I hunger for the laughter of certain little
two;
It's for them that am living, it's for them
I often pine,
For there are no others better that eau
take the place of mine.

THE PRoDIGAL son.

Before me is a magnificent etching
one of the greatest produced in
century or SO. I would say. 1t is by
Jean Louis Forain, the famous French
artist.
Two figures dominate a simply sug-
gested landscape. Far in the distance
to the left is a little house with a sin
gle tree in outline. To the lower left
of the picture is the rude hat and stick
of the boy who has thrown il away
quickly. that he might rush to the
arms of his father.
The boy is on his knees. His face
is lowered and buried in his hands.
The old father bends over his son. His
hands rest heavily on the shoulders
of the one who was lost"
Sympathy, forgiveness and mex
pressibIe joy are wrapped like a sort
of blanket about the younger man as
the older one leans to comfort.
The lines of the entire picture are
filled with poignant expressiveness.
The story is told with rare under
standing. Its simplicity fascinates and
grips. 1t is the masterpiece of a mas
ter. There is nothing superfluous.
But it took a man who had seen and
understood much of the deep darkness
and tragedy of life to depict a scene so
true.
The father had gone far on the road
to meet the returning wanderer. ] can
imagine the overwhelming emotion as
he recognized the figure of his own
flesh and blood eagerly awaiting the
touch of his big caloused hands
1t is beautiful picture. The artist
must have taken the steel point from
some drawer in his heart before he
touched his nervous lines into the cop
per plate.
1 wish that a reproduction OF this
great print might hang in every home
where there is a father and son.

Business is picking up, declares
Forbes Magazine, and proceeds 10
prove it by citing examples. Among
these are: The wooden trade is more
active. Cotton goods are being more
freely ordered from manufacturers.
The garment industry shows some
signs of returning life. Shoe manu-
facturers are increasing their output.
Rubber companies are more optimis-
tic, as they find that unconsumed
stocks are lighter than formerly esti-
mated. Automobile plants are re-
engaging large numbers OF workers.
Copper men are less pessimistic. Eu-
rope has been buying wheat. The
electrical industry is becoming quite
busy. Hat manufacturers are taking
back some of their people. Bankers
are untightening the monetary screws.
Investments have been doing better.
The principal foreign exchanges have
exhibited distinct strength. Powerful
interests are contracting for future de-
liveries of materials and merchandise
at the readjusted prices now available
in many lines. In short, both existing
conditions and prospects are. improv-
ing notably.

Which Has the Greater Influencee-f

Which Has the Greater Influence?-f.
According to reports from Russia,
women there are held responsible for
the acts of their men. and wives are
being thrown into prison and even exc
cuted because of their husbands po-
litical faith.
This is playing up the old theory of
the woman behind the door of every
mans life, with a vengeance, but =
probably has as little foundation as
the general tradition that man is a
puppet who moves this way or that. as
some feminine hand pulls the strings
and that has always been a polite
fiction.
OF course, Adam started it with his
1.-The woman Thou gavest me, she did
persuade me- stuff, and it proved such
a good alibi for whatever man wants
to do and leave undone, that he has
pushed it for all it was worth ever
since. The man who succeeds and the
one who fails, the one who runs
straight and the one who goes crooked,
the strong man and the weak one, each
shelters himself behind pettieoat, and
says 1.-THE woman did it.
But it isn't true. All that woman
can do, for a man, either of good or
evil, is to be an accelerator. She can
hurry his speed up or down grade. but
she can't set him going. For man IS
a SelI-SIdTIer.
AS a matter Of fact. mans influ ence
over woman is a million times greater
than woman's influence over man. and
if men would take the trouble to study
women as women study them, and to
use this expert knowledge in working
them, as women use theirs in working
them, they could truly mould the femi-
nine sex individually as we'll as col
iectively to their hearts desire.
1t is curious to note, in this con-
nection, that while we pirate of
woman's influence over man, and how
ennobling it is, mans influence over
woman in not only greater, but far
more elevating than hers over him.
For woman has never been able to
raise man to any high moral level.
but he has set her feet in the straight
and narrow way, and kept them there.
Probably there are just as many
women with a taste for liquor, and
a prediction for dallying along the
primrose path as there are men, but
mans influence over woman has been
great enough to keep women, as a sex,
sober and virtuous.
Broadly speaking, every woman S
life is spent in trying to please men.
She dresses to try to catch the mascu-
line eye. Because men are supposed
to admire curly locks, millions of
women sleep with their hair done up
in steel knobs that render rest impos-
sible. Because no man loves a fat
woman, thousands upon thousands of
women starve themselves, and put
themselves thru torturing exercises.
Because men are presumed to fancy
little feet, the whole feminine sex
hobbies around in agony, in shoes
two sizes too small for them, and on
jay-bird heels that make every step
discount the sufferings Of the early
Christian martyrs.

WHY RENTS ARE HIGH.

If New England construction COM
pany's records covering a generation
| of operating costs submitted to the
Boston Chamber of Commerce be cor
rect, it is not surprising that there is
a housing shortage everywhere. The
mystery is how anybody manages to
erect a house or office building that
can rent in competition with struc-
lures put up when men did a square
days work and mortar, plaster or
even sand did not rival the price of
pearls.
Twenty-odd years ago, according to
those records. a mason and his helper
laid $500 bricks in a working day of
eight hours for s5.25- To lay those
same 1900 bricks today costs. for the
same labor. $4,000. But while this
makes it cost the builder eight times
as much, in round numbers, to get
that work done now as it cost then
the mason and his helper do not earn
eight times as much money at their
trade. The reason is simple enough.
What it took the mason and his help
er only eight hours to do twenty odd
years ago it now takes a mason and
his helper half a week to do. In
other words, the bricklaying capacity
of a mason and his helper has fallen
from 1900 bricks day to 500 bricks
a. day.
At eight times the former rate a
thousand bricks the mason and his
helper today get two and a half times
the former wage a week because they
do only a third as much work. But
while the mason and his helper get
only two and half times as much as
before. the cost to the man who pays
the bills has to be. of course. that ter
rifle figure of eight times as much.
And here is what all that means to
the man that rents the house in which
laying the bricks costs eight times as
much as before. There is not merely
eight times as much interest on the
cost of laying the bricks which must
go into the rent; there is eight times
as much taxes on the cost of laying
the bricks; there is eight times as
much depreciation. there is eight
times as much insurance on the
cost of laying them. The rent has to
take in all of it.
Nobody in this country, comments
the New York Herald, ever suffered
when workers time after time de-
manded and got more and more pay
for doing more and better work. Ev-
erybody. in truth, was the gamer. But
when workers produce less and less
they are digging the industrial graves
of both themselves and their country.
