Can't something be done for

Is it necessary for the street
cars to rattle quite so much?
It doesn't seem to me that they
are as noisy on other streets.

is to be installed. But that it
will not come down as far as my

KINDLY WORD, AT LEAST

KINDLY WORD, AT LEAST
To the Editor of The Times:
Permit me to speak a word
for the door-to-door peddler.
I wonder if housekeepers
would be so rude if it was
brought to their attention that
these men are trying to make
q living. Trying to keep off
relief rolls. To preserve their
pride.
I realize, of course, that they
can be a nuisance. Especially
when the housekeeper is busy
and has to go repeatedly to
the door.
But a kindly word, even if
she doesn't buy, would help.
Slamming a door in the ped
dler'S face only makes his very
hard job harder. And reduces
his morale to the vanishing
point.
Many of these door-to-door
pests have seen better days.
They rode in their own cars,
owned their homes, were re.

Its recent resolution asking
for the dismissal of all public
school teachers who smoke or

such people as the members Of

responsibility of advising our
city heads on methods of rum

This. apparently, Is still true, but

HOme.LOvin1 FOREIGNERS

dOme.LOvlng Foreigners
One Of the most curious facts about
home ownership In America Is that
the average cost Of homes owned by
native-born white persons is some
what less than the cost Of those
owned by foreign-born citizens.
The information was obtained by
the F. w. Dodge corporation, build
ing business analysts, In . study to
determine the value Of relative mar
kets. No effort Is made to explain II
or to disclose why 1t Is that the av-
erage value Of homes owned by for
eign-born persons is $5,576 as COM
pared with value OF $4,766 for homes
owned by native born whites.
It seems incredible that the aver
age Of ability to pay Is higher among
immigrants than among native-born
people. Unless this is true, the
explanation may lie in the fact that
foreign-born persons place more en-
phasis on home than does the aver
age American. The tendency to es-
tablish their roots In the soil Of their
adopted country may be stronger on
the part Of persons who come from
areas where ownership Of land Is re-
stricted than is the case In America
where all have had this privilege for
the last century and a half.
Whatever the reason, 1t is a strange
commentary on the hurly-burly Of
American economic life.
