Let Local Pride Find
Expression at Home

Local pride is based on affection for
the place In which you live and is al
most as natural sentiment as family
pride, says the Youths Companion
Like family pride, II may be useful and
stimulating. or 1t may be futile and
deadening.
A proper local pride manifests itself
In study Of the history Of the conmun-
ity and Its founders. in a desire for q
thorough knowledge Of the institutions.
industries and people of the commun-
ity. and In acquiring familiarity not
only with the topography and the ex-
ternal aspects Of the place but also
with its spirit Anyone whose local
pride Is strong enough TO impel him TO
such study will become imbued with
az ambition TO contribute TO the i'm
provement Of the community; he will
be In his turn one Of the makers Of its
history.
Local pride that finds its expression
at home is an admirable trait There
is, however, a kind Of local pride that
Is frequently exhibited only By people
who are away from home. and that Is
not TO be commended. II Is usually a
mark CT narrowness and prejudice A
man need not sacrifice or abate his
love Of home In order TO recognize the
superior GLAZING to general interest that
some other place offers Proyincialism.
as local pride is likely TO be called
when 1t expresses itself away from
home, is usually bumptious, hyper
critical and petty. 1t retards the men,
tai grown Of the man who suffers
from IT, for he Is seldom one who ar
home shows any local pride Of 4 con-
strucdve character.

SYNOPSIS. - Nurses In the
Southern hospital at Avonmouth
are angered by the insolent
treatment accorded them by DR..
John Lancaster, head of the in
stitution. and there is a general
feeling of unrest. into which
Joan Wentworth, probationary
nurse. is drawn. Doctor Lam
caster is performing a difficult
operation, for which he has won
fame. Joan. with other nurses.
is in attendance. She is upset.
through no fault Of her own. and
makes a trivial blunder at a crit
ical moment. The patient dies
and Doctor Lancaster accuses
her of clumsiness. She is sus-
pended, the action meaning the
end of her hope of a career as
nurse. Without relatives or
friends. and desperate. Joan,
urged by her landlady, goes to
Doctor Lancaster's office to ask
him to overlook her blunder and
reinstate her. She overhears a
violent alteration between Doc
tor Lancaster and other men she
does not see. Joan is struck by
the favorable change in the ap-
pearance and demeanor of the
doctor. recalling that at times in
the hospital he has been gentle
and thoughtful and at others su-
percilious and bullying. He tells
her he can do nothing for her at
the hospital. but offers her a po-
sition in nursing institution in
the country, telling her she can
be of great assistance" to him.
A man named Myers demands
she tell him what the doctor had
said to her. She denies him the
information. and he covertly
threatens her. At the institu-
ton. which is owned by Doctor
Lancaster. Joan finds Myers. He
tells her he is the secretary. She
instinctively dislikes and fears
him. The only patient at the
institute is a Mrs. Dana. de-
mented but harmless. Joan is
vaguely uneasy. feeling that
there is some mystery about the
place. Doctor Lancaster arrives.
Joan accuses him of deceiving
her. declaring her intention of
leaving. He tells her he is the
patient who needs her, saying he
wants help in a big fight" but
makes no further explanation.
She decides to stay. Evidently
Doctor Lancaster is afraid of
Myers. Joan discovers that the
doctor is a victim of the NOR
phine habit. Joan takes charge
of him, helping him to overcome

drug. Myers accuses her of
modelling" but she refuses to
leave or to give up her care of
Lancaster. Mrs. Fraser, the
matron, admits all at the insti-
tuition are afraid of Myers. but
will not say why. She begs Joan
to save the doctor" Joan in a
measure succeeds in freeing Lam
caster from his craving for
drugs.

would become hysterical.

Comfortable and heaIthfuI houses
that can be purchased ct workmen's-
rent or occupied at fair rentals have
been demonstrated in the building
ventures Of the Metropolitan Life In-
surance Company, the City and Sub
urban Homes Company and the Sunny
side corporation, limited dividend
coropration, witnesses said, but these
buildings, to rent at about 50 room,
are impossible for speculator to
build at the present high cost of ma
terial and finance, it is claimed.
Walter StabIer, comptroller of the
Metropolitan, said the only way these
successful housing experiments could
be duplicated would be through strong
financed semi-public companies that
would not desire profit Of more than
6 per cent on the operation to reim-
burse their investors. Builders who
have to borrow money on second and
third mortgages can not do this and
still remain solvent, it was pointed
cut. .rae -.
AS many IS 10000 are waiting for
the $9-a-room houses the Metropolitan
put up IN oaeens, it was testified.
The bnssS Of the problem Is that
workers can ont pay the rents required
for houses built at modern costs.
The figures show two-thirds Of the
families in the city must live on $500
a year or less and that they live in
dirty, dark, inconvenient tenements
because they can not afford the SIS to
$50 room apartments Of which there
is q surplus now. Flats renting at $40
q month for a small family are nom
existent except where families occupy
them as the result Of protection of the
emergency rent laws that it is now
proposed to extend after their expira-
ito next year.
The commission is now celebrating
on constructive effort to solve the,
housing problem. Previous recopz.
mendations for public credit for IL
construction Of houses for WORKERS
have been ignored by the legislature.
Members Of the commission are piling
up evidence showing how other coun-
thies from Holland to Australia have
handled such situations. The trend
seems to be to make q semi-public
utility Of the cheaper houses, leaving
the high-priced apartments to take
care Of themselves without protection
of the rent laws.
