BUILDING

Roger Babson frequently advised personal investment in private build. ing. He has often called attention to the development of the automobile in. dustry and shown that with it's growth there is bound to be greater suburban development. People will willingly live at some distance from work or business now that they have compara- lively inexpensive transportation at their disposal
 More than year ago this news- paper emphasized this situation and advised the building of homes in this community. Today, with a great build- ing program being planned, those who did not follow the suggestion find themselves in a position which may prevent their building their own homes unless they begin at once.

Something About Things.

Something About Things.
 (Contributed.) I was seeking word to cover Quite a number of various things, Such as land, brass kettles and cloth
 ing,
 Tobacco and finger rings. I examined our words all over, Digested them through and through And at last reached the conclusion That things" was the best l could do. We read of things in the Bible, Of the bee with it's busy wings, It is one of the smallest that fly. Yet fits fruit is the chief of sweet
 things"
 The numerous words known to man, For it covers all things all over As no other one word can. A thing may be all in ones eye Or that which in fact one can see, Or it may be nothing at all But that which might possibly be. In our world there is nothing but
 things,
 To things we consistently cling, Many times in contempt or in pity Have called some human thing.

THE MORNING AFTER

New Britain people are talking to- day of Harold schwarm and his dip into atmosphere where the slogan is This is the life" For him this is the morning after" and the natural question was 1t worth while" The aftermath for him may or may not be serious. It is too early to say dog matically how great or how little was the moral turpitude involved. He and those whom he involved have a chance now to think things oyer sanely, and we who look on have a chance to realize that his actions diff fer from some of our own only in de- gree.
 If accounts are true this man posed as something he was not and in this assumed role did things that seemed necessary under the circumstances Many of us pose as something we are not, assume traits of character to which we have no claim and which, when the test comes, we cast aside. Viewed in this light there are few of us who have Q right to sit in judg- ment upon him, while we may thor oughly denounce the misrepresenta- tions he practiced as actions that are to be condemned whether carried to the extent he did, or whether charac- teristic of people in general in lesser degree. We hold no brief for Harold Schwarm--but we hold no brief, either, for the men and women who pretend to be something they are not.

sIxTY.sEvENTH CONGRESS

Witn tne adlournmenl ol CohSTess comes the immediate picture of a group of individuals, not an organized body, each thinking of personal well fare and paying little heed to kindly president who waited until the last moment before presenting to that congress the one suggestion which, had it been made in time, might have marked his administration as one of note. All efforts to praise the achieve ments of the sixty-seventh congress must be inspired by partisan spirit and nothing else. The debt-funding agreement with England may be pointed to with pride,' but its pas sage was due to the fact that it was so obviously necessary that any other action would have been a disgrace. The international conference for the limitation of armaments could not we'll have been escaped. On the sol- diers' bonus matter the action that was taken by congress was the result of the knowledge that the president would veto any bill not carrying with it means of payment. The scandal in connection with this bill leaves all who were prominently identified with it stamped with the taint of politics and insincerity. The three per cent immigration bill has satisfied few.
 Summing the situation up there stands out no one constructive meas ure which had the whole hearted sup port of congress except the one which funds England's debt to us and, in regard to this, no other action was possible. He who praises the work of the siXty-seventh congress and the leadership of President Harding must indeed be a partisan unable to see weakness in majority split into selfish units where work is es- sential, and lost opportunity in the action of an executive who has not dared to risk his future success by displaying the initiative to be expect ed from a man who was placed at the head of the government by an overwhelming vote of the people.
