REFLECT LURE OF THE CITY
Empty Houses, Seen on So Many Coun-
try Highways, Example of Unfor-
tunate Trend of Times.

The housing question is scarcely, If
any, less important than 1t was; per-
haps we only hear less of it. In mo-
tcring through New England and the
Central West, one cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with the large number of very
comfortable vacant houses, most of
them of fair size and apparently not
badly out of repair, which are found
along the country highways in every
state, says III. II. Windsor in Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t would seem
there must be thousands of these
houses. Michigan alone reports 49,
600 abandoned farms. Their dusty
windows and grass-grown steps tell the
simple but mournful story of neglect
All around are productive fields, often
orchards, willing to yield abundance,
if only given a little help. They tell
the story of the boys and men gone to
some city to work in a factory. One
Of these days, surfeited with the re-
lentlesS grind of the town, many will
heed the invitation which now vainly
waves to them from the orchard
bOughs and, returning, will wonder
how the lure of the bright lights could
ever have prevailed against the red
and gold with which nature paints ap-
pies and summer sunset.

Public Interest in Parks.

A tendency on the part of the people
to ruin extensive landscape projects
undertaken by the city at public ex-
pense is not wanton Indifference to
the important part played by the
parks i'm the life of the city, but mere
ly the thoughtlessness of people who
as yet have not been disciplined in
community responsibility. 1t is not
enough that a city should have a
good park system. 1t is essential that
the system should be in fact the peo-
pies, and that each citizen should feel
that his share in the ownership links
him TO the community. If the parks
can be made a moi ument to this CO.
operative spirit in a city, then, and
not until then, can 1t be said that
they have made the most of their
mission. And as long as there are
park vandals and citizens who con-
done park vandalism, 1t may be said
that the city is failing to live up to
its parks.-Indianapoli News.

Are Resulting From the Over.
crowded Conditions, Particularly
in Larger Cities.

| Washington is a matter of i'm
portance that the scope of home-build-
| Ing operations in this country is attain
ing large proportions. Statistics show
/ steady gain in this department of
the building industry and indications
are at present that, as the spring and,

Effects of Home Ownership.
Home ownership not only encourages
saving, but it has pronounced stabiliz-
Ing effect on the character, habits and
mental processes Of the owner. To
hinr particularly might be applied the
words Of Theodore Roosevelt, who
said: "The habit Of saving money
while it stiffens the will also brightens
the energies. If you would be sure
that you are beginning right, begin
to save"
Much has been said and written
about the housing shortage in this
country and the menace which has
thus been fostered. Many evils both
economic and social are resulting from
the overcrowded conditions, particular
ly in the larger cities Of the country.
Many people are compelled to find
existence in quarters which represent
a step backward in their stand
ard of living. This is contrary to the
fundamentals of human nature, for
mankind has always insisted upon pro-
crossing toward better living stand
ards.
Nation of Contented People.
Present conditions therefore are con-
tlnually> encouraging unrest. In the
consested districts of the large Ameri-
ican cities these conditions are also
conducive to the spread of disease.
1t is said that tuberculosis is making
rapid inroads among those who live
in these quarters.
The present home-building and home
owning movement, therefore, repre-
sents many important phases. The de-
velopment of thrift practices is not the
least of the benefit which is sure to |
result.
A nation of home owners is nation
of happy hearts and contented minds. |
People who work and save and live in |
homes of their own constitute a solid |
rock upon which the structure of any |
nation may stand with security.
They are practicing thrift of the |
most substantial kind. They are pre-
senting to their children a most
tangible and beautiful lesson on the
sound benefits Of thrift practice.
Every encouragement should be
given to the development Of the
present home ownership and home
building movement. Its continued
progress will mean much toward
fostering of a better national life.
