May Is Prosperity To Return?

w. w. Durbin, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for United
States senator, in his speech at the
Democratic banquet at Napoleon
Ohio, April %, said in part:
President Hoover has set May 1G
as the date for the return of pros
perity, and every person in America
sincerely hopes that his prophecy
might come true. Unfortunately
however, promises and propaganda
are not improving the situation
First of all, business, labor and ag-
riculture in the United States must
realize the truth of the situation
else there can be no real remedy.
"Dun's Review. weekly survey
of business conditions in the United
States and Canada, portrays a pic
ture that cannot longer be ignored.
1t shows, for instance, that build
ing operations in this country have
fallen off 55 per cent this year as
compared with last year, which was
a bad year in the building trade In
the months of January, February
and March, 1929, building permits
amounted to $663,994,9OO. In the
same period of 1890 the amount OF
building permits fell to $291,329,-
100.
These regrettable figures explain
in some degree why more than four

A THOUGHT for SUNDAY
BY .......
AMOS II. WELLS
WHAT MAKES
A HOME?

Recently the National Association
of Real Estate Boards called on the
public for definition of "home.' .
and received 10000 replies Analyz-
ing a thousand of these, it was found
that love was the home quality most
often mentioned-home is the place
where love abides. Next came the
idea that home is the center of fam
lily life. Third in the definitions
came the thought of peace, preced-
ing even the thought of happiness
and the thought of comfort. And
this is the most significant fact, that
home" meant mother" to only
fifty-six of these thousand respon-
dents, and it meant father to only
twenty-six of them.
Evidently the people of the pres
ent day are forgetting the fifth Com
mandment In the days of the an
cient Hebrews home meant father
first and foremost, and then home
meant mother; and home meant very
little else than father and mother
Those were indeed the days of the
patriarchs, which means the days of
father-rule.
Why have mother" and father"
slipped SO far down in the list? Be-
cause of modern fathers and moth
ers. 1t is not because children are
less responsive to father-love and
mother-love than they used to be; it
is because fathers and mothers have
become vitality interested in SO much
else than their children.
Honor thy father and thy moth
er."

The Gold Star Mothers

Concerning the Gold Star mothers
of this country who are to make the
trip to Europe soon, at the expense
of the United States government, the
following is announced:
Railway agents in all parts of the
United States will supply round trip
i tickets to New York, including sleep
er reservations, and a check is sent
by the United States government
to each widow making the tour, to
cover all meals and other travel ex-
penses to New York. On arrival in
that city they will be met by army
officers and escorted to first-class
hotels for their stay there, which
will be from "a to 48 hours. The
ocean voyage lasts about eight days
and when the ship docks at Cher
bourg, France, the women will be
taken by special train to Paris, where
accommodations have been reserved
at first class hotels. On the second
day the women of each party will
place a wreath on the tomb of the
French unknown soldier, and this
will be followed by reception in
which French war mothers, govern
ment officials and prominent civilians
will participate. On the following
morning the motor trip to the var
iOus cemeteries will begin. with a
stay of about a week at the GEM
eteries. After returning to Paris
there will be stay of about five
days for sightseeing, the entire stay
