motorist who persisted in violating

more than he who broke them infre-

CURED to carry with them. When a
motorist aroused the ire of a traffic Of

and when hailed into court the judge
would examine the cards and ascertain
the number of times he had violated
the Law and been released with q
reprimand from In officer. The hard
ened offender would get the lin
while the driver with a good record

EVIL OF THE RENTING HABIT
Dependency on Other Hands for
Homes Marks a Retrogression
in Spirit.

When householders become renters
by habit, that is, when they become
willing to depend on other hands than
their own to provide and maintain
their homes for them, society loses
much of that valuable individuality,
that personal independence, initiative
and self-reliance that distinguishes
great people from a mass of people.
For three hundred years the Ameri-
can people have led the world in indi-
viduality, initiatiye and personal indie
pendence. The fathers pulled out Of
the European huddle in order that they
might stand on their own feet; and
having reached America, they had to
stand alone Most born Americans
were born of parents who owned their
own homes.
Contentment with huddle, the will
ingness to live in some one else's
warmed and cared-for loft rather than
in ones own fought-for and paidfor
home marks a retrOgreSSiOn in spirit
from the American way to the Euro
pean way of life.
However we may excuse ourselves
for inclination toward the easy COM
fort of the choreless, commercial, rent
ed compartment, and for shrinking
from the harder demands of the de-
tached, owned and paid-for home; and
however respectable the renting habit
may have become, it must be admitted
that our inclination is a phase of So
cial degeneracy, drift toward the
