2 Building
Must Remember
Years MAY Bring Change

Land is said to be developed to its
highest and best use when the struc-
ture on 1t produces larger return
than any other building would pro.
duce, but 1t should be noted that this
return must have reasonable persist
ence. In other words, In the case OF
home site, the owner should assure
himself that the house he is building
on it will return the satisfaction and
enjoyment described above for good
long period Of time.
Land that is developed today with a
home of exactly the right type may
fall in the path of a city's industrial
progress, and, as this encroachment
closes around 1t, the home becomes
less and less the best structure for the
plot and it's value as domestic de-
creases. At the same time, with the
change in the character Of the neigh
borhood, the amount Of satisfaction
and enjoyment secured from the home
is decreased until perhaps the location
becomes unbearable. when all satisfac.
ton and enjoyment disappears. OF
course, the loss of value In such a
property as a domestic may be Offset
eventually by an increase in value for
an Industrial or commercial site, but
this rise in value does not usually
come about at once. There is period
Of transition, when the neighborhood
is declining as residential site and
yet has not yet ripened to maturity as
a commercial area. Moreover many
people who establish permanent homes
do not like to see such changes even
If they bring about higher values, nor
do they like to move out of districts
that, have become home to them.

QUIT and his Masonic Affiliations
helped win for him the position of
postmaster general of the colonies and
later it smoothed his path when he
went to England on his first diplo-
matte mission there.
1t was even more valuable when he
was sent to France to enlist French
aid for the colonies during the Revo-
luton. Through the Masons he had
access to the newspapers which were
officially controlled by the govern
ment, but which were really written
by the Masons and the philosophers,
such as Morellet, Suard, De la Dix
merle, who were all Franklin's friends"
says Fay. practically all Of the
French newspapers published outside
of France were in the hands Of the
Masons Also" Franklin had his writ
ings accepted by all Of these and, be-
ing the master propaganda that he
was, he made the most Of his oppor-
tunity to present Americas cause to
Europe.
The career of Benjamin Franklin
is one Of the strangest paradoxes in
history. One Of them is that this son
of poor Boston candlemaker and
apprentice to poor printer should
live to record the fact that "Tho'
did not think that should ever lit
orally stand before kings I
have stood before five, and even had
the honor Of sitting down with one,
the King of Denmark. to dinner" An
other is the fact that man who was
almost entirely self-educated should
have universities of, two continents
vying with each other in conferring
upon him honorary degrees.
But most interesting Of all is the
fact that this man who was 80 typi-
cally American that he became a YER
table symbol of America, even in his
lifetime, was never understood or
loved by his own people. He was dis
liked intensely by the "best families"
Of Pennsylvania and was distrusted by
many others in the colonies as char
latan and trimmer. The distrust in
Pennsylvania is easily understood. He
was the organizer OF the small farm.
ers. mechanics and small tradesmen
the democratic forces in that colony,
and as such his name would naturally
be anathema to the aristocratic sup
porters of the proprietors, the Penns.
Logically. he should have been re-
garded in the same way by aristo-
cratic, elegant France. Instead. that
country took this simple democrat to
it's heart in his lifetime and all but
canonized him after his death.
Ellis moral and religious theories
frightened the century and environ
ment he lived in" writes Fay. "He
was accused alternately Of atheism
and bigotry. for though his God re.
sembled its parent, the Christian Di-
vinity, 1t had distinct differences.
When, at length, Franklin had many
adherents. It was because of double
Misunderstanding; in America. he was
followed because he was believed to
be a Christian: in France, because he
was clasced with the atheists /"

Franklin stands revealed not as pro-
vincial Yankee who gloritied common
sense. as so many Of his biographers
have portrayed him, nor simply as a
great American, but one Of the great
men Of his century and a man who
lived in perfect harmony with his
times, even though in his wisdom and
his foresight he was far in advance
of his times.
Professor Fay's use of the new
Franklin material which he discovered
has enabled him to clear up many
matters in regard to Franklin's reli-
gion, morals and social activities
which have heretofore been but little
understood. AS to his religious be-
Hefs 1t can now be seen that he be-
lieved In Supreme Being. He re-
garded Jesus as great moral teach
er and in regard to the Immortality Of
the soul he subscribed to the Pytha-
gorean doctrine of survival in q new
body with new senses and new ideas.
That beliefsis reflected in the cpl
taph which he wrote for himself ear
" In life and which reads:
The Body
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN,
Printer.
(Like the cover of an old book,
Its contents torn out,
And stript Of it's lettering and gilding,)
Lies here, food for worms.

For 1t will, as he believed, appear once
more,
In new

The Author.
A deist In his early life, he believed
that man could do no evil in world
where all events were foreordained
by the Deity and that man therefore
should take his pleasure where he
found It. That belief was strength
ened by his experiences In the notori-
ously immoral London of the early
Eighteenth century, but when he be-
came dislllusioned through the betray-
al by friends he had trusted, he de-
termined to shape his life for himself
and for that purpose he set down four
cardinal rules Of MISUNDERSTANDING,
perseverance, goodwill and loyalty.
Later he heightened this list by thir-
teen-temperance silence, order, reso-
luton, frugality, industry, sincerity,
justice, moderation. cleanliness, tran.
guilty, chastity and humility. In the
practice of these he was successful
in all but twO-order and chastity.
None of Fay's new revelations Is
more interesting than those dealing
with the part which his membership
in the Masons played in his career.
The Masonic society had been estab-
lished in Philadelphia in 1927 at the
time when Franklin was only com.
paratively unknown young printer. 1t
was composed largely of rich mer.
chants who did not look with favor
upon Franklin. But he forced his way

fectively he could use his newspaper

manner Of planting by which the

Careful Lawn Planting

Great care should be taken that one
does not overdo the planting on his
lawn in his zeal to make 1t attractive.
Spotty lawn planting should always be
avoided. Shrubbery should be massed
effectively as border, screen and d.
vision and foundation planting; some
evergreens should always be included !;
they are beautiful in themselves, and
add a zest to the winter landscape
that Pothing else can equal.

~ " their enthusiasm for
this American, the French could not
find out too much about him. The
newspapers carried column upon col
umn about him; historians and biog-
raphers We'd with each other in writ
ing about his career and he was pic
tured in innumerable engravings.
The flood of Franklin literature
that started then has continued ever
since, especially in his native land.
Few Americans have been more writ
ten about than Benjamin Franklin,
until it would seem that American
historians and biographers had ex-
hausted the possibility of telling any
thing new about him. But 1t has re-
NAMED for brilliant French scholar
to write new biography which stud
les the whole field of his life and &C
tivities in the light Of innumerable
documents, among them more than
six hundred letters, hitherto unpub-
lished, and which presents what is
probably the most complete view OF
Benjamin Franklin that has yet been
written. The author Is Bernard Fay
and the book is Franklin, The Apos-
tie of Modern Times" published by
Little, Brown and Company of Bos-
ton.
Out of this new work, based upon
facts which have been gathered to-
gether for the first time, energies a
new Franklin. The Franklin which
Americans have hitherto known has
always been figure which challenges
our admiration because he was such
q versatile, many-sided man. But 'hu-
man" as was this Eighteenth century
character, he has not always been I'M
derstandable to Twentieth century
Americans. Through the interpreta-
ton of Professor Fay he becomes
more understandable and more easily
understood. But the title of the book
gives the clew to the reason why
Franklin was "the apostle of modern
times" Another historian, Philip Cue
dalla, once characterized Franklin as
"the first Rotarian" and Professor
Fay phrases the same thought in
these words "His career was the apo
theosis Of the good fellow"
1.-THE fnnumerable facts that ! have
gathered here for the first time bring
us closer to Franklin and show him
to be more picturesque, more In con-
trast to the background of his epoch,
the Eighteenth century," he writes in
his preface. "This biography Is neither
local nor national, hut is the story Of
one of the great leaders of men in the
Eighteenth century. Thus, one can
Judge and estimate his immense in
fluence, which was also varied. as he
dominated the political, scientific and
philosophic world of his time. But Of
all his titles to glory, the most out
standing one is that he was the first
bourgeois of the world.
'Tn this Eighteenth century which
attempted to do away with aristoc-
racy, and to orient itself to the dom.
ination Of the middle-class, Franklin
was the great precursor, the great ex-
ample. He defined the principles of
the bourgeois in his works, and made
his life pattern to follow. He exem-
plified It by Poor Richard and this
was why the entire universe submit
ted to his influence. To understand
the amplitude and importance of this
influence, Franklin had to be consid-
cred from an international standpoint,
and his activity in science. religion
and philosophy had to be fully stud
fed"
Considered from that standpoint,
