Euery Community Has
Investment in Youth

The Two Rivers (Wis.) Chronicle
has reduced the value of the boys of
the Two Rivers community to dollars
and cents. 1t figures that II boy
costs his parents 500 year from his
birth to the time he is sixteen, then the
parents of the 1000 boys in that com
munlty have an investment Of $780,
600. What is being done, 1t asks, to
conserve this investment, to make 1t
yield returns in better citizenship to-
morrow?
That is a question every community
should ask itself, says the Milwaukee
Journal. We realize today that boys
don't just grow up right any more
than a business will manage itself
right. There must be direction. there
must be opportunity, there must be
time spent on the development of the
boy Just as time must be spent on the
DEVELOPMENT of a business.
When the boys desire play, is 1t a
back lot and the gang or a well-direct-
ed playground? When they seek so
cial activity. is 1t any place they can
find where others are gathered, or is it
the community house with an attractive
program? In education are they being
trained for the kind of service which
their community needs most? Those
are vital questions, and the answer to
the boy problem.

NeD American Homes
Show Better Designs

1t is indeed gratifying to note the
tendency of architects and builders to
get away from the embarrassing, box
like houses, giving us instead homes
that at least have some semblance of
architectural merit. While Ehe public
has not yet entirely slgnified its full
appreciation of good architecture, the
newer houses in both the cities and
suburban communities give evidence Of
leaning toward better design.
American small house architecture
Is steadily mounting to higher levels.
which marks distinct achievement,
not only in the cultural life of the
people but in the finest qualities Of
citizenship.
Good architecture like good exam
Piles of any other art, is eternally good.
It is In no way dependent upon chang
ing fancies. The surface currents Of
public disapproval cannot long persist
against the truth that is inherent in
good architecture. There were periods
when types Of Colonial architecture, If
not in public disfavor, were at least
disregarded, but because they meas
ured up to the best standard Of the art
they have always commanded the ap-
prevail of the discerning and have
never been more strongly intrenched
In public favor than today.

"Where we eliminate sunlight we In.

business for the companies that sup

cars and the rest Of 1t: but the under

"These mechanical improvements do

Plea for Home Ownership

Home ownership, as advocated by
the promoters of the Indianapolis
Home Complete exposition, encourages
people in habits of saving and thrift,
the News of that city asserts. The
effect Of such habits when they be-
come fastened upon an individual are
so well known as to require no elab-

the more of thrift there is manifest in
Indianapolis the more healthy deyel-
opment of the general welfare of the
community there will be.
The family that owns Its own home
is certain to be a patriotic family, pa
triotic to the nation, to the state, and
particularly patriotic to the commu-
nifty in which that home is located.

No Signs in Residence Part

White Plains, n. Y, went on record
as being opposed to billboard advertis-
ing signs in residential sections. A
frontage of GOO feet on Central avenue
had been rented to q New Rochelle
concern and nine-foot high sign
erected, on which were to be displayed
large advertisements. Building Super
intendent Denehy ordered it down.
The sign company took the matter
before the zone board of White Plains,
with the result that the order of Su-
perintendent Denehy was unanimous
ly upheld, the board deciding that it
was to the best interest OF the city
that such display signs be kept out of
residential districts.

Plant More Trees

Most cities and even some small
towns, especially new towns, are apt
to be pathetlcally treeless, and towns
do need trees more and more. as their
population Increases, Jane Leslie Kift
writes in the Detroit Free Press.
Have you ever thought about the
walls of the factories of your town?
They looked rather well In the Pen
nell war posters, but some hot June
day as YOU walk down street skirted
on botn sides by monotonous brick
walls. don't they seem oppressive2
Don't you think that If the same walls
were blanketed with green they would
be more restful and more beautiful

Value of Small Industries

Small industries do more to make
the small town than any other agency.
Even blacksmith shop helps the
town along, and the cotton factories,
planning mills, an industry that re
quires workmen to run them, bring
people to the town. There are many
little towns in Alabama that depend
entirely upon these industries. Take
them away and the population goes
with them and there is soon no town.

EXPENSIVE DOCTORING

:" An apple day keeps the doctor
n away"
Old slogan; good advice. Better to keep
the doctor away than to have him around
all the time.
But let's see how it works out:
Some apples on the Seattle stands are
marked three for % cents.
Eat one day, at that rate, and your
yearly bill will be S3025 If your family
abdes by the slogan multiply SS0.25 by
the number in the family.
Chances are the total will run eonsid-
erably more than you paid out for medi-
cal attention in an average year..
Of course, if you buy apples by the
box. the cost is less, considerably less.
More than $50 year seems consider
able to pay for the JOY of eating one fine
Washington apple every day.
Wonder how much of the S3025 the
grower got-and how much went into ex-
pensive freight, handling and jobbers'
charges? More than half probably.
Growing apples is no simple task-but
it's very simple, relatively. compared
with the intricate-and costly-methods

THE CHINESE WAY

CHANGHAI is parading dozen BAN
~ dts day thru Marking Road, and
then hanging them at the Lung Wha ar
senal outside the town. There are $50 on
the present list. so the show will last some
time The people seem to enjoy it, and
such is Chinese stoicisn--even the ban
dts do not particularly object.
Death is relatively minor evil, and
life presents many greater ones. The
prison in which they have been incarcer-
ated is doubtless a much greater one, in
their estimate. So the holiday goes on !;
the bandit population is slightly de-
creased, and, beyond this, not much hap
pens.
1t is the Chinese way, and, in their
present stage OF development, perhaps an
unavoidable one We, more advanced,
are one stage ahead of it. We lock up
our prisoners more humanely. and hang
fewer of them, and do not make show
of those we do hang. But how much diff
ference will those who live 1000 years
from now see when they look back?
