AUTOS INCREASE
SUBURBAN HOMES
Make Growth of Cities in
FanIike Movement More
Probable.

The automobile has been the great
developer of suburban property. ac-
cording to o. Coolican. president of
P-W Motors. Inc.
''One of the most interesting re-
suits of the widespread use OF cars
is the making possible of the sub
urban home to the city business man.
said Mr. Coolican, in a recent address
before the District bankers conven-
SON "This. in turn, has resulted in
n tremendous iacrease of real estate
investments in suburban properties.
The city worker may now buy a
home five, ten or even fifteen miles
from his place of business and within
a reasonable time and at compare
lively small expense may travel COM
fortably between his home and buSl-
ness A few years ago suburban de-
velopment was largely paralleling the
straight lines of the railroads. 1t has
now spread fanlike in each direction
from practically every large city in
the country.
Relief from Rentals.
"A nation wide investigation of this
phase of the motor cars utility In
sixty large cities disclosed that in
$4,000 instances the motor car mas
brought ABOUT Il felle1 from HlBn city
rentals. the owners of these cars hav-
ing moved from the city to the sub

motor car is the sole method of trans
portation between office and home.
Home building increased So per
cent in 1922 over 1921. and the census
figures and the state registration fig
UreS show that those states in which
the highest percentage of people who
own their own homes are also the
states which have the highest per
capita ownersip of motor cars.
An interesting illustration in this
regard is tabulation recently COM
piled by the Long Island Railroad.
This road serves Long Island. which
IS about 125 miles long and twenty
Iniles wide. In the past three years
the passengers carried by this road
Increased from 100000 to $4,000, 900,
aud yet the research conducted by the
railroad disclosed that the new dwell
ingS constructed in this period were
$4,000. a number disproportionate to
the comparatively small increase in
passengers carried.
The research further disclosed. how
ever. that the motor cars licensed as
being owned by residents of the is
land increased 1900 in the same Pc

American Heroines.

The glorious achievement of the
American soldiers in France has been
given the recognition it merited. The
memory Of what these fellows did
has become a deathless page in our
history. But not so much is known
Of the work Of the women nurses
and relief agents and teachers and
missionaries from this country who
have been fighting famine and
disease and brigands in the war
stricken countries
These grand women, many Of
them girls not beyond the flapper
age, have braved the terrors of war
and pestilence. During the
Armenian and Greek massacres, they
defied the cruel menaces Of the
Turks, and in many cases risked their
lives by refusing to part with the
helpless orphans left in their charge.
They have carried their ministry
of relief and healing into towns de-
vastated by contagious diseases.
They have remained cool and calm
amid sights that would sicken our
people at home They have work
ed themselves almost to exhaustion.
Apparently they feared nothing.
The pitiful condition of refugees and
famine and disease sufferers have
elected all the sentiments that are
noblest in womanhood, and they
have ministered to the destitute
without thought Of their own peril
1t was believed before the war
that the present generation had be-
come soft and selfish and incapable
Of heroic effort. The deeds Of the
army in France proved the contrary
to be true Of the country's young
manhood
Some have felt that the young
womanhood of to-day has become
frivolous. Yet when these girls
were put into this situation that
calls for the noblest qualities, they
rise to the emergency. America
will be loved and honored for
generations for the achievement of
these relief workers They give US
renewed faith in the future of a
country that produces such fine
character,

A c. Movement 60.

Reports Of farmers and others
tramping through the snow to save
the game birds imprisoned by sleet
and ice show how deeply the lessons
Of conservation have sunk into the
consciousness of the state. Where
the birds are found. they are released
and food is provided Effort IS made
to prevent the depredations Of
"varmints," the natural enemies OF
the game bird.
Similar weather conditions a few
wears ago would have been viewed
with indifference or made the OPP
portunity of providing the table with
delicious morsels. Now the thought
is Of saving the birds.
Right in the midst Of this effort to
save the birds come still bigger
dreams. Some of the most for
wardlooking men envision a state
wide system Of game preserves,
supported by hunting and license
fees to 60 into a trust fund for the
support of conservation. Such fund
would reach from 100000 to $780,
600, it is estimated What force
for good it would be!
Sportsmen are willing to pay their
share. They are ready to serve on
an advisory committee to assist in
the preservation Of wild life. The
old idea Of "shoot until you get your
fill" is passing.
The farmer is doing his bit. The
man who has money to invest in pri-
vate game preserves is willing to
spend it. He will reap not only
benefit to himself, but will help a
whole district, for the wild life he
fosters passes easily from one pre-
serve to another or out into the
community.
All this shows clearly that we are
getting somewere. And it imposes
the duty of continuing to talk con
servation. The man who gives no
heed today will be for it tomorrow.
He cannot escape the consequences
of the Brightness of the movement.
In forestry, in parks, in fostering
the restoration of wild life, if he
doesn't assist now he will assist
sooner or later.
All this as applied to the state is
very encouraging. 1t shows that
much Of the old Wisconsin viii yet

CITY and Country Schools

A federal report recently brought
out the fact that the average city
pupil attends his school 143 days in
a year, while the average country
child attends only SO days. These
figures would seem to indicate that
country children are more irregular
in attendance.
Probably their parents keep them
out a good deal more to help around
their places. But it is also true that
IN many states the country schools
do not have as long terms as the
city schools,
These figures suggest two ideas
First that many country parents are
not doing justice to their children.
If farmer has his hay to pet in or
his potatoes to dig, he perhaps thinks
it will not hurt the boy any to keep
him out for a week. But if all the
farmers keep doing that, the morale
of the school is lowered. The
children are diverted from their
tasks, and get a little out Of the ha-
bit of studying and Will not do so
much work in a year.
Such parents pay a high price, in
the injury done to their children's
development, forthe advantage gain

good results at anything, it is nee
essary to make a continuous effort
at it, Those who work in tba scbanl

So ACCoMMODATINGl
A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

True thrift is a matter of correct
proportions. 1t is the proper
balancing of ones activities and
accomplishments.
This question of proportion is
one of the most important problems
of life-a subject worthy of the
most thoughtful attention.
The man who works so hard that
he ruins his health has an incorrect
understanding of proportion. So
also has he whose thoughts and at
tentions are ever alert to the passing
pleasures of the moment. The
miser is devoid of a normal under
standing of proportion. The
same is true of the man whose
ambition for wealth or power lead
him to transgress the rights of
others and the limitations of the law.
There are those who allow their
sense of proportion to be warped by
some passing grievance or fancy.
Vanity, avarice and selfishness each
plays its part.
Analyse your attitudes and your
actions. Herein lies splendid
field for self-improvement. Perhaps
You are giving too much thought to
some particular phase of life.
Perhaps you are placing undue
weight upon matters that are of in
consequential Importance and are
for this reason neglecting the things
that count-the things that mean
success, progress, usefulness and
substantial happiness.
Thrift is by no means the ac-
emulation of money alone. 1t is
just as truly an exemplification of
rightful proportions. For when this
exists we become stabilized, we'll
poised and efficient.
Study relative values. Develop a
sound sence of proportion. Learn
to harmonic the various elements in
your life in such manner as shall
