The Other evening one of the char
ity organizations was giving sup
per forNa number of poor children of
Indianapolis. One Of the women had
baked a particularly nice angel food
cake for the occasion. One little boy
attracted her interest and she decided
flat no matter what happened he
should have piece Of her cake.
Accordingly she offended two or
three women in passing their cakes
by to get her own. She carried a big
piece to the little fellow who gave
1t one look and said. I'VE got bread
at home, lady. Please gimme some
cake"
cfestfallen, she carried back her
own cake and got him q piece of
marble cake In which red and white
mingled. And now she says, "N0 more

BOTH WILD, FOR SHORT TIME.
Imprisoned Cat and Kansas City Man
Alike in Disposition Until Storm
Gained Down.

In Enid. Okla. according to Kansas
City man who goes there frequently,
there is aNcollectorof curiosities pecu-
liar to the state. His line ranges from
indian moccasins to live coyotes. In
fact he handles anything that might
appeal to the romantic impulses and
purses Of Fasteners.
This dealers store window recently
attracted the interested attention of
a portly salesman who was stroning
about the town In company win the
Kansas City man. With this obese
travelling man to pause was to sit.
The only convenient seat in this case
was box on the sidewalk In front,
OF the store window. A piece of bur-
lap had been spread over it.
The portly one just settled himself
comfortably to enjoy the window dis
play when his companion heard a
snarling scream within the box and
almost simultaneously the fat man
was seen rising high in the air, pro-
PEELED by his own sturdy legs. A
howl from him mingled with the
falsetto one. which emanated from
beneath the burlap.
Subsequent investigation developed
that the box was really crate con-
tanning a temperamental wildcat
about to be shipped East. The animal
had been seized with an impulse to
test It's lungs and claws at about the
time the salesman placed the pos
terror part of his, anatomy so con-
venient for claw testing.

More than eight years ago John

door, and then John began to dig.
BY noon of the second day he had
lug down ten feet. Although the
weather was mild, he had complained
Of being cold whilek at work. After
eating he put nn an extra coat and
vent to work again. He kept Mary

IN the third morning he added more
clothing; but when night came and the
well had REACHED the depth of IS feet
he was ALMOST frozen:
The next morning he again descend
ed the well and worked as rapidly aa
his many LAYERS of clothing would per-
nit. After while water began to
ippear. Suddenly he shouted: "Pull
me up! Pull me upv'
John had barely reached the surface
before the well filled to within a foot
Of the top and then began to freeze
around the edges. In a short time
only small opening peFhaps a foot

rid of it the better. This does not
apply to business buildings nor to
property which will soon be in de-
mand as the business section of the
city expands. 1t does apply to
other city dwelling houses for which
such extravagant rents are now be-
ing demanded. Remember that
while the readjustment in industry
is we'll along, the readjustment in
real estate has only begun.
Some may ask why industry
does not move to the country? Be-
fore many years have passed we
probably shall see strong tendency
in that direction. Many businesses
can be carried on in the country far
more efficiently than in the city.
This idea that all offices and fac
tories must be located in the pop
ulation centers is simply a notion
handed down thru generations. In
the old days industry was confined
to the city and the country was left
for agriculture. That was before
the age of modern transportation.
or course, it must continue true in
case of distributing houses. Whole
salers, jobbers, merchants, etc., who
group together according to their
industry in certain part of the city
greatly facilitate buying.
Manufacturers, however, find
better labor conditions, lower rents
and better power in the country
Hence, would not dispute the point
with anyone that business eventual
ly may tend toward the suburban
sites. "For the present, however,,
concluded Mr.. Babson, 'the main
movement will be confined to the
buying of country residences. Those
who are planning eventually to own
a country home should get busy at
once, for every week you delay is
likely to cost you money"

REVOLUTION FORESEEN
Unreal ESTATE WORLD
The Statistican Sees New Figures
That Will Upset Present STAN
dards of Value

Wellesley Hills, July 22, 1922
Roger w. Babson, adviser to over
seventeen thousand of the country's
leading executives, has called an
other turn.
In statement issued today he
outlines coming conditions in the
realestate field and advises the pur-
chase Of suburban property before
it is too late.
'"The big movements in real es-
tate usually get we'll under way"
says Mr.. Babson, "before anyone
realizes what is going on. Because
they have seen land unused for
years most people think it will al
ways continue to do SO. This is why
the original holder seldom makes
any profit from real estate. The
value is SO close to his nose that he
does not see it.
"a fundamental change in real
estate values is taking place. So
far it has proceeded quietly without
much publicity. Few people have

realized it.. A few wise heads have
discovered the bargains in country
homes and they are quietly buying
up all the land they want for them
selves and as much more as they
can carry for a speculation.
my advice to those who want
suburban real estate is to buy at
once. For the past decade of more
people have been crowding to the
cities. Now, however, a reverse
movement to the country is begin
ming which promises to be the
greatest shifting in population since
the. institution of the railroad. With
in the next ten or more years the
building of suburban homes should
rival the growth of the automobile,
good roads, movies, the phono-
crap or radio.
"In fact, these inventions make
possible the suburban movements.
A few years ago country homes were
limited to the rich or to those en-
ployed in the country, because only
such people could afford means of
transportation. Now automobiles
have come within the reach of the
great middle class of people. They
are increasing at the rate of more
than a million a year. Ten years
ago there were 100000 passenger
automobiles in the United States.
Today there are about ten million,
which is an average of one car to
about every ten people. They are

opening up millions of acres of
hitherto inaccessible land. The
more cars purchased, the more fam
lilies there are who can have a su-
burban home, even tho the bread
winner must work in the city Wage
earners during the last period of
prosperity spent their money for
motor cars; in the next period of
prosperity they will buy country
homes.
"The motion picture has put the
local town hall on par with the city
theatre. The motor truck is giving
the rural or suburban dweller near
ly the same freight and express ia
cilities as has the city.
Motor bus lines are covering
routes which never could be served
by trolley cars. Automobiles are
bringing school houses and the viii
lage to within a few minutes of the
country home. Chain stores are
carrying to every community the
same efficient merchandising as the
city dweller enjoys. Last but not
least, the radio, especially If de-
veloped on General SQUre's wired
basis, gives to suburban homes the
finest city lectures and music.
1.-THE reason for suburban expan-
sion, however, is not alone the at
traction of country home. In the
cities congestion of dwelling house
space and high rents long have been
brewing discomfort. For more than
five years now these conditions have
existed. Rebellion on the part of
the rent payer is reaching the point
of explosion. Almost any kind of
change would be attractive. Once
the average city worker realizes
that with few hundred dollars and
a fliver he can get house of his
own with all the land he needs, the
chances are two to one he will
move.
1.-THE city no longer has a wall
around it. Railroads make the
first breach, but the railroads
opened up only narrow strips along
their lines radiating from the city.
In most cases the railroads followed
the valleys and low lands, which
are not the best building location.
Between these lines are miles of
land much more desirable for build
ing, but which have been inacces-
sible to the commuter because men
had no means of getting to the
train. 1t Is in these areas between
the railroad lines and within a ra-
dius of Is or 20 miles Of the cities,
which the motor car and good roads
have opened up, that the most spec
tacular development in new build
ing should take place.
"If you are interested in real es-
tate the situation demands action. |
1t means that if you want to buy de-
sirable suburban land near any
good city at present low prices, you
will have to go about 1t at once.
In selecting such property, good
plan usually is to follow out the best
streen and buy where land
begins to sell by the acre instead of
by the foot On the other hand, if
you own city dwelling house proper

business uses, the quicker you get
