BENEFIT DERIVED
BY OWNING HOME
Establishes Credit Standing
Obtained in No Other Way,
Realtors Claim.

The owner of even small home has
a credit standing that he cannot attain
in any other way, the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards points
out in its weekly story for the public.
The association backs up this asser-
ton with statements from organiza-
lions that extend credit with care in
six large cities.
Describing credit as an important
factor in defining the position of an
American family in the community
the association states that credit may
be needed for the convenient purchase
of household necessities, that it may
be needed to finance an interest in bus
mess, or it may be needed to finance an
emergency or disaster.
I'VE have many evidences that, Of
people living in detached houses, the
one who is buying the home is sought
after as q prospective purchaser more
than the one who is merely renting it."
says F. e. Parker, vice president and
general manager of the Merchants
Credit Bureau with headquarters in
nafrOit

has some individual popularity which
makes it different from others. There
is perhaps no part of the house that
an owner is more critical of than its
doors. There may be many bad fea-
lures about the design Of his house, but
he will forget them if his house has
pleasing entrance.
This trait has, to a certain extent,
forced the architects to lay particular
stress on entrance design. It is sur
prising how many possibilities there
are in this simple feature. This variety
is brought about by some owners re-
curing shelter from the rain, others
an extra barrier against the wintry
winds, while some require only a door
and q lantern.

"MODERN" FOUND OLD.
France Has Relics of "L'art Nou-
veau" From 1900.

It is a mistaken idea that the modern
istic STYLE" so called, is a product of
the last few years. AS far back as 1900
problems in "l'art nouveau'' were being
turned out by the students in the School
of Fine Arts in Paris.
One may see in Paris today buildings
designed in the first decade of this
century in which the forms of decora-
ton are very much like the work being
turned out today

DISTINCTIVE DOORS.
Entrance Regarded as Most I'm

BY CAMERON CLARK.

Man has always adorned the entrance
to his home. Down through the ages,
in every period of architecture, a new
way has been evolved to decorate the
framework of the doorway. Even now,
although a house may be designed in
any one Of the popular styles, or per-
haps in the modern manner, each door

Entitled to Consideration.
The small borrower who owns his
home is entitled to immediate consider
alton from his banker, says Frank F.
Brooks, president of the First National
Bank of Pittsburgh.
The very process of acquiring home
educates a family so it can assume the
responsibilities of credit, says L. E.
Wakefield, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Minneapolis.
Credit standing very largely depends
upon the financial circumstances OF
the individual, but in general, the man
who owns his home in the community
has an advantage when seeking credit
for the reason that he typifieS to the
credit man a certain solidity and stay
put" atmosphere which is absent IN the
individual who is living in somebody
else's property" says William o. La

HOUSE BUYING PLAN.

Safe Price Suggested as Based on
Income.
A house, completely finished, costing
two and one-half or three times ones
annual income is reasonable, and the
carrying charges per month should not
exceed one weeks income, says the
Home Owners Institute.
Thus, a man with an income OF
$4,000 a year and good prospects, with
no unusual financial obligations, may
safely plan on a home that will cost,
when completed, $4,000 to $4,000.
The new 1880 license plates for Ari-
IONA will contain a letter to denote the
county in which the machine Is reg
istered, according to reports.

Henry Ford, one Of the world s

his laboratory, back among
swaying palm trees, on his
tropical estate here today. and
in an exclusive interview with
International News Service re-
vealed his psychology of life,
his formula for si1ccess, his
ideas on health and diet and
his views on the national and
international problems of the
day
In his keen, interesting way Mr.
Ford. who Il termed the richest
man ii the world, disclosed that
the business OF makins money
merely for the sake OF accumuIat.
ink wealth does not interest him.
He made that clear.
81 don't care for money he
said. Il never think of it. Money
is good only for what it can DO.
Money is transmitter It's like a
belt on a piece of machinery It's
needed to operate with

His formula for success can be
summed up in a single word
Work.
He believes a good wife an ''in.
calculable' aid to any man.
He regards his friend. Thomas

knows.
He thinks most people have only
themselves to blame il they are IN

He II opposed TO building large
Navy and other Warslike moves and
he strongly advocates the putting
through of important ,peacetime
projects such as the St, Lawrence
River project, which would give
the cities along the Great Lakes
an outlet to sthe sea.

would not look day over fifty.
What strikes you as the conn,
tfy's most important problem that
calls for solution?" he was asked.
Sees Nothing Wrong
There is nothing wrong with the
country. Mr.. Ford replied with
characteristic quicl1ness. Eve seem
to have the proper proportion of
everything, there is chance tor
everybody to work. That is the
main thing. can see more oppor-
tunity to work today than ever
