THE HOME AND THE NATION"

To say that the home is the unit
in our social life Is to express IN
adequately its importance. 1t con.
tains within itself the possibilities OF
our greatness or of our humiliation.
1t either contributes to the finer vir-
tues in our national life or 1t Is
the genesis of those vicious elements
that destroy at once our peace and
prosperity. Governed and regulated
by parental control and sustained by
f1lial obedience, 1t Is our glory and
our pride. Unregulated or uninspired
by high ideals, 1t becomes source
Of infection and poisons the we'll
springs OF our corporate and social
being. Our age is witnessing too
much an attempt to regulate indi-
vidual and social habits through legal
enactments. We seem to forget that
laws do not make either manners or
morals. They are regulatory and OF
value II rightly conceived, but they
do not and cannot contribute to our
virtue. We can neither through reso-
lutions nor multiplied laws affect the
moral character of our people.
Every day in the calendar great
national conventions are held to con.
slider the best ways and means of pro-
noting our individual and corporate
interests. They usually conclude
their deliberations by passing we'll
phrased and high-sounding resolutions.
Having accomplished this, the men,
bers return to their homes felicitat-
ing themselves that they have con-
trtbuted nightly to the veal and
wealth of the Nation. On every hand
there are conspicuous evidences that
witness to the tragic failure Of our
present course OF action. If we could
all resolve to stay home for one year,
mind our own business, mend our own
fences. and give consistent care to
the regulation of our own household,
we would make an advance that we
have not hitherto appropriated. We
are not irr1tated by the convention
habit, nor are we unmindful Of the
value Of legislation. but we are
clearly conscious of the fact that,
with all the effort we are making to
effect more wholesome and salutary
conditions. the progress is not COM
mensurate with our zeal.
It still remains true that the
things that vitality affect the life Of
the Nation are not enacted In halls
OF legislation, but in the homes Of the
people. One high-minded mother with
fine religious zeal and discriminating
tact may do more to lift the moral
tone Of q community than some we'll

cally to discuss social betterment.
There Is little recorded about the
humble home in Nazareth where Je-

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

Is there q new national motto for
America in the making? Is ''E Pluri-
bus Unum" to be thrown into the dis
card?
Certainly, IL common usage means
anything at all, the old slogans of
nationality are about to be replaced.
There is a new motto-perhaps it
is q command-which is voiced from
one end. Of the country to the other.
1t raises its head and its tongue in
the humble hamlet as well as in the
humming metropolis. 1t speaks a
clarion note, and an aphorism of
yesteryear becomes a hard fact of
today, for he that runs cannot only
read, but must read.
The new national motto meets the
eye at every turn of the road, on
every block of the city street. 1t
knows neither section nor political
division. 1t is seen and recognized in
the far northeastern villages OF Maine
and is saluted on the far western
borders of Mexico and Canada. 1t is
universal and ubiquitous. If you have
not guessed 1t already, the new
national motto simply is:
NO parking here"
Millions of dollars have been spent
in advertising this new national
legend, and many more millionafWf
dollars have been spent and willASe
spent for ignoring it. It is the most
expensive motto to promulgate and
the most expensive to violate known
to mankind
Rarely do the signs vary. Tren-
ton, N. j., may have ideas Of seeding
from the Union, for in that city the
command says
mo ranking here"
The unwary motorist who tries to
park" finds that ignorance as to
ranking" Is no excuse in the eyes Of
the law.
Nor can the American tourist plead
either ignorance or innocence when,
on visit to wet and wicked Montreal,
he encounters the inevitable notice
which reads:
me stationner pas lei"
He can't get away with the viola
ton, for the Canadians of Quebec
province go to the expense Of erect
ing double signs, one in French and
one in English. Pretty soon there
will be mo parking" at all from
Pacific to Atlantic and then we'll all
have to begin to n.
SPEAKING of automobiles. 1t is
clearly recognized now by the author
tiles that the motor car has been
one of the greatest agencies of the
increase in crime in America, If not
the world. The throbbing, high
powered motor car has furnished
transportation for all sorts OF con-
traband and has provided the neces-
sary quick getaway for the perpe-
traitors of foul deeds.
And. oddly enough, the detectives
of the country are looking to Amer

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

Dear Old Home.
I sometimes sit and dream about
The dear old home.
Where in the street the cows turned
out
To doze and roam.
The homes not what it used to be.
Flip fappers flop along with glee.
1t almost breaks my heart to see
The dear old home.
The taxicabs now run around
The dear old home.
The girls whose hair is short abound
And need no comb.
The menu hits jazzy pace.
The cost Of lving's a disgrace.
And that ia why call the place
The DEAR Old Home.

lean boys to help them cope with
the automobile crook. Wherever II
is known that an automobile has
been involved in a crime the astute
detectives searched at once for any
small boy or boys who may have
been in the neighborhood. He knows
that from them alone can he get
a correct description Of the car, the
State from which it hailed and more
than likely the number of the license
plates. This rather interesting bit
OF criminology was revealed to The
WrfteX by one Of the detectives work
ing on the Mellett murder case in
Canton, Ohio, the one-time home of
the sainted Mckinley.
This was his explanation:
"A motor car with engine running
may stand at a curb for an hour and
scores of men and women will pass
without paying the slightest attention
to 1t. But let a boy or a group of
boys come by and they will stop and
give the machine the once-over. They
will recognize at once the make Of it.
Kids can tell certain cars blocks away.
II there Is a foreign license on the
car-that is, a .license from another
State-the kids will Immediately spy
1t and the chances are 10 to 1 they
number. More than once youngsters
have given us valuable information
which has led to the solution of a
crime"
There is talk Of a national campaign
to have people pay more attention to
motor cars which act suspiciously or
seem to have suspicious characters as
passengers. In case of both accidents
and crimes 1t is the most difficult
thing I'm the world for the police to
find some one who took the precau'
ton to note and write down the
license number.
The next great commercial battle
in this country apparently is to be
fought between the iceman and the
mechanical home refrigerator. The
manufacturers Of the home refriger-
ating machine have adopted the slo-
gan that the ice man must go. But
the iceman has been SO long an Amer
lean institution that he does not pro-
pose to give up without struggle. II
the iceman by any chance should dis
appear, some of the Oldest standard
Jokes would be forever lost to Ameri-
can life. Even songs have been writ
ten about How'd you like to be the
iceman?" and sung in their time from
one end Of the country to the other.
The iceman does not relish the idea
of joining the horse in obscurity or
becoming a rare bird like the dodo.

cal threat to his existence and in
some cities of the middle West there
is lively advertising duel in progress.

She was also associated with Repre-
sentative William J. Browning, when
he was chief clerk of the House, and
later became his secretary when he
was elected to Congress.
After his sudden and Iamentable
death his successor, Representative
Patterson, asked Miss Carroll to con-
inue IN the position and she consented
to do so. Her work under the regime Of
Mr.. Patterson has been most arduous,
as he has always been a hard worker
and insisted upon the smaller details
being looked after as well as the big.
ger things connected with represent.
ing a district in Congress. Miss Carroll
frankly says that the work in Mr..
Patterson's Office was twenty times
as heavy as when she began her pub
lie career with Mr.. Loudenslager.
But congressional work has not oc-
cupied all the time of Miss Carroll.
At odd periods during her career Of
service she has travelled practically
all over the United States, assisting
the best shorthand men in the bust
ness in all sorts Of Government in
vestigations, court-martial proceed
ings, etc. Then, too, from the first
Mckinley campaign until the end of
President Taft's administration she
was connected more or less with
campaign work, handling at times
forces OF men and women running
into the hundreds. Her experiences
have been varied and interesting and
from her "reminiscences she could
write a book equally intriguing as
the memoirs of Col. House, but she
has promised not to do it.

Miss Carroll is unassuming and modest,

able to accumulate.
