w this queer twisted life.
Our parents and grand
parents had their weaknesses
and stupidities, and we pay for
them. AS far back as the hui
man family extends, its story is
a story of crime and punish
ment for crime. Sometimes the
sinner for a long, long time es-
capes retribution, but it always
catches him in the end.
Unless, of course, we take
ourselves in hand very early in
life and with prayer and thought
and care train ourselves out of
our inherited failings. And few
of us have either the courage or
the foresight to do that
For example I knew a rich and in
huential woman once who was head
of the board that arranged a charity
O44bC4 L 4hC
school children of the city were in
this kermis, which was a great
success. But as newspaper re-
porter knew, and of course she
knew, that the city had condemned
the hall in which the party was CIV
en- as an absolute firetrap. Nothing
happened and she seemed to be
justified in risking thousands of lives
for the sake of saving on rent.
Payment With Interest Inevitable.
But some years later a building
this woman owned and rented col
lapsed. The insurance company re-
fused payments because she had
been twice warned that the founda-
tions, laid In all the hurry of the
earthquake-recovery year, were un-
safe. Damages cost this woman and
her children every penny of their
fortune and she ended life strug-
Cling with clearinghouse she was
completely unfit to manage.
Another case. There was a care
less, slatternly girl in our town
years ago whose car was always in
volved In smaShes, whose hats blew
away and purses got lost, who nev-
er remembered tickets or engage
ments. She was arrogant about it,
telling all critics that that was the
way she was and there was no use
scolding her. A year OF two after a
brilliant marriage she hooked her
heel in a torn hem, fell down a
flight of stairs and spent two years
in bed as result.
Still others. The cursing, roar
ing, impatient type of man who
backed his car out of the garage
and over the body of his small son.
The mother who left sick child to
a new maid who administered a
spoonful of ammonia instead of med
icine. The gun accidents; always
the result of careless attitude to-
ward other persons lives and rights.
The drinking mother who in cheer
full after dinner carouse with friends
didn't manage to save the three ba-
bies asleep upstairs.
No Evading Natural Law.
Cause and effect. It is the natural
law. You can't evade it.
''My daughter is a fine woman of
81" writes an anxious mother from
Texas. ''She is planning to be mar
ried in August; church wedding,
veil, everything. Her future hus-
band is dental surgeon; splendid
man.
'.My problem is this. Elise had
an affair eight years ago with a col
lege boy. They were both much
in love for awhile, then the boy
graduated and went away, and the
matter ended. She seemed to droop
over it for a few months, afterward
recovering completely and going on
into her work as a psychopath with
success. She has a good position
which she viii keep for few
months after marriage at least, but

Use Lustrdg|dss'
Window Pdnes

Windows throughout the 1941
Ideal Home have been equipped
with Lustraglass, and ultra violet
ray window glass supplied by the
Detroit office OF the American
Window Glass Company.
Lustraglass was selected for the
home because of its merits over
ordinary window glass, possessing
whittier color and displaying rare
jewel-like luster. 1t is the closest
approach to plate glass attained
by any window glass and can be
used instead of plate glass in many
instances.
OF special Importance to the in
stallation of LuStraglasS in the
Ideal Home is the fact that IT
transmits a substantial quantity
of the ultra violet rays of the sun.
With two large glasSed-in porcheS,
one above the other. the Ideal
Home offers a good demonstration
of healthy living conditions where
the valuable ultra violet rays are
really brought indoors.

Property,
Taylor Advises

Harry A. Taylor, East Orange,
N. J., vice president of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards for the Central Atlantic
Region. speaking before the South
Central Conference of the associa-
ton in New Orleans, stressed the
Importance Of property analysis In
a management program. 1t will,
he said, reveal the 'tattle-tale
gray which appears before the
disease known as obsolescence."
This property analysis Is q
matter-of-fact and some times
tedious Job. It Is the careful
tabulation of the physical inn
provement of the property,
within and without. 1t Il simple
Job, but 1t must be done. De-
terioration goes on constantly In
all buildings. requirements and
rehabilitation are not always
possible, but reconditioning of
the essentials Is definitely neces-
sary.
"In most cases the property
manager is unable to tear down
building and build a new
building which would he con-
strued as the highest and best
use of the land. However, in
most instances, income must be
derived from the Improvement
as Is. Then IL Is the duty of the
property manager to make the
most of existing conditions.
Achievement of such a result
can be obtained only after q
complete analysis Of the
property"

Seclusion Important

Next to seclusion, quiet is prob
ably the most important attribute
of a good den. II the walls are
of insulating board this quality is
built in automatically. The fibrous
construction of the material re-
tardS the passage of sound and
helps keep out noises arising from
the meeting of the women's circle
in the living room even as II sub
dues the click of the typewriter in
the den.
Not to be overlooked Is the in
sulating value from which the
board gets its name. This cuts
down the heat cost and means that
the room will stay warm longer
after the heat has been turned
down-an important point for
those whose work or reading keeps
them up until the wee hours.
