There may be some truth in this. But it will not be generally
accepted as an explanation of the bad condition that is constantly
glowing worse. There isas much complaint from small towns and
rural districts against reckless drivers as arises in the cities., More
real effort is made in the smaller communities, apparently, to en
force safety regulations and punish infractions of them than in
mude in the cities. In the earlier days of motoring farmers wore
.loudest among the protestants against the new dangers of the
.roads. It is not believable that familiarity .with the perils hah
made them contemptuous now. And if a serious condition were
.chargeable in large degree to "city fellers," we may be sure rural
jites would not cease their demands for relief until they got it.
1 The truth is that licenses only for the fit, which often has been
.'proposed, appears to the majority, whether motorists or not, it;;
' an interference with personal rights that would be intolerable.

teachings; but the latest incident in which he has figured in the porch in their bare feet-
newspapers indicates that his views as lo how a poor family should
invest its savings are sound. ' '
i
While cruising in his yncht in the Great Lakes he picked up
a newspaper several days old in which he read of a woman who
had been arrested on a charge of shooting her husband. She was
provoked to do so, the article stated, by the discovery that he had
bought an automobile with the money she hud saved to buy a
home. Mr. Ford promptly sent a wireless message to his agents
to furnish bail for the woman's release from prison.
'The inference is that although he wants every famiiy to own
a "flivver" he does not approve of devoting to tlmt purpose money
which had been laid aside for the purchase of a home.
The home should, of course, come first. Fveryone who has
given any study to. the subject of thrift and the best methods of
promoting- it knows that owning one's home is of paramount im
portance. The backward and poverty-stricken countries of tho
world have been those in which the people were mostly tenants.
Once "landlordism" has been ended, prosperity has come. The
United States is what it is a well-to-do and advanced nation
largely because millions of the citizens own their own home's.
