Here's To Cross-Word Boys Presses of the dictionary publishers have been working overtime for weeks and booksellers have striven despenitei, to keep their supplies of dictionaries and word books re plenished. This unprecedented demand for word reference volumes has been created by the cross-word puzzle. It is said, with but little exaggeration, that everybody who can lead and write becomes a cross-word puzzle solver soone) it later. None will deny that few fads have had so uni versal an appeal as this puzzle of words. From the standpoint of lime consumed the cross-word puzzle might be condemned. Puzzle solvers are exiiendiii' millions of working and leisure hours daily in this new pastime. The cross-word puzzles in book form or clipped from newspapers have replaced the needle work and opu lar novel in the stenographer's desk. Among men, offici end factory workers the cross-word puzzle is a new excusi for laying down the tools and the pen during woriiinj hours. Even husbands have been heard to complain thai meals are late because of the introduction of the cross- d- piuxlc -into the-home? . - .,, If the cross-word puzzle was merely a pastime it wouk. be u wanton waster of valuable time and in its present stage of popularity would be cause for concern among em ployers, l.ut tho groat demand Tor dictionaries and syno nym Iwioks is evidence that this most xpular of puzzles i: something move than a pastime. It consumes much time Imi to the advantage of the solver. The cross-word puzzle has made the word Ixiok a best seller and has brought the die tionary and reference! inlo active use in many homes ant ly many individuals for the-liist time, liefore the cross word puzzle became popular you could have counted oi. Ihe fingers of two hands the number of persons in the aver i go community making daily use of the dictionary. Toda. hundreds of thousands of men and women own and usi them. Thoughtful working of cross-word puzzles can not fai lo make the average Ameiican a more careful and fluent I'ser of good English. Prolonged popularity for the cross word puzzle must raise the standard of English used ir. the United States. Bigger And Better A mania for large and costly buildings is sweeping tilt country, beautifying cities and towns, promoting community , pride, but inevitably swelling already burdensome taxes : The threat of higher" taxes has not abated the building. beginning soon after the war and increasing in volutin : up to this time the hue and cry for public buildings luu been heard in the largest cities and the smallest towns alike Everywhere is there a popular demand for municipal con ; vention halls, stadiums and administration buildings, court houses, libraries, school buildings and other public edifices. In many instances the demand is justified by the grow , '"JI population! There is a recognized nation-wide need foi 'additional school facilities that is only slowly being sup 'plied. City and county administration buildings are woe- fully inadequate in many places. , Adequate public library space as an educational requiienient of the community is 'second only to the public school. Beautiful public buildings are the pride of every com munity, but they' must be paid for out of the niihlif tii.. iirien. Those who propose public improvements should nil complain uoout the taxes they pay. Public mtpiwomenH and kiw taxes can not dwell in the same house. Some com- muiiities are rlecting the former and others rhoosc laller.
