Spring Months.

With recent sales totalling sI4o.-
900, the firm OF McKeever and Goss

Among the sales recently closed
by that firm was the property at

a little less than $4,000. This

WHY BUYING A HOME NOW
is ADVISABLE

Real Estate magazines tell us that all over
the country there has been noted recent in
crease in the number of home owners.
And the reasons, we are told, are manifold
There is every indication that rentals will be
as high as ever this fall. The cost of build
ing homes is probably at the lowest possible
level it will reach for some time Because of
the abnormal economic conditions now ex-
lsting, no investment is considered as secure
as the purchase of home

is tided over with much less difficulty by the
man who owns his home He knows that
come what may he and his family have place
to live, and will not have to face the alterna-
tive of either taking up their residence on the
street or paying even higher rent than before
in a new place. He also has the assurance
that if he is taken from his family, they will
not be left homeless.
Owning your own home will raise your stand
ing in the community. A householder is al
ways regarded as direct asset to his own

vital as H NJ Brailsford's volume entitled
after the Peace which is historical
only in the most narrow sense of the term,
since it deals with a past no more remote
than the world war and is largely con-
cerned with the events of to-day. Prima
rily it is challenge to capitalism-a chal
lenge based not on the usual socialistic
grounds but on an examination Of the
record of capitalism during the war. While
on the whole. as the author admits, capital
ism has succeeded in feeding the world
thus far. there is reason to fear that it
will not continue to do so; by putting its
emphasis on profit rather than on pro-
duction 1t places a premium on greed
and sacrifices the needs of the world to
its own desires; by stimulating unlimited
wastage it neutralizes, even overbalances
the benefits of the Industrial system, and
so overreaches itself as to threaten it's
own destruction. Because it walks hand
i'm hand with Imperialism and with an
imperialistic militarism it is the primary
cause not only of warfare but of the desti-
tuition that afflicts half of Europe to-
day; because it places individual advantage
above world reconstruction it is re-
sponsible for the barbarous and Gripping
terms of the recent peace treaties: and
because it is shortsighted as it is vicious
unintelligent as it is predatory, it is likely
to prove a Samson that unwittingly pulls
down the temple walls of civilization and
is crushed to death amid the general
devastation.

members have been compelled to live con-
stantly on the verge of indigence and as
result have been decreasing i'm number at
an appalling rate; it has been the victim
of a sort of economic selection that has
favored the manual laborer and tended to
eliminate the brain worker Needless to
say. the very future of civilization is in
jeopardy unless this tendency can be re-
versed.
In contrast to Mr.. Corbin's book We may
turn to Boris l. Brasors The Balance

ditions in a country where the middle class
has been all but eliminated as a result of
the clash between capital and labor Mr..

of the case of Boshevsm Where other
writer's (and writer's likewise opposed to
Communism) find that in spite of what
ever damage the present rulers of Russia

damage: and for this reason his book is
not to be taken without a grain of salt
Turn from Mr.. Brasors discussion of So

ume on social Change" we find ourselves
confronted with a work of a much more
theoretical and general nature. Prof. Og
burn traces in an interesting but schol-
arly fashion the course of social changes
from prehistoric times till the present; he
contends that the biological factor in evo-
luton has been greatly overemphasiZed
and that within historic times social
changes have been the resultant primarily
of cultural development; that such cul
tural development is not to be accounted
for by biological evolution, and that "cul
ture may go on increasing at rapid rate
without any biological change" However,
the author concludes, there is evidence
of lack of harmonious adjustment be
tween modern culture and human nature:
and the remedy is to change not human
nature but modern culture-especially in
minor directions that concern influences
affecting the life of children and parental
affection, sex education, modification of So

to the present: it deals with the various
problems concerning the workers, delin

and postwar unemployment and ends with
plea that public spirited citizens sacrifice
individual interest for the good of the

Gerald Morgan's Public Relief in Sick
ness" The author begins by reminding us
that under present conditions the average
laborer is unable to make provision against
possible sickness; and after discussing
health insurance in the various EuroDean
countries and in America he suggests a
remedy based on the public provision of
adequate medical treatment to
every man. woman and child in need of il.
