"The prod 1 sal robs his heir: tha

Justice to ourselves and others." was
Brueyre'a rejoinder.
The average boy Is a spendthrift. Put
a few ahlning silver coins in his
pocket and Impatience will manifest It
self Immediately. The power of tbe
burning coins, figuratively speaking. Is
Irresistible to the average youth. Con
servation is simply a torment to the
young mind which Is diverted to the
"goodies" the coins will purchase. The
growth of this disease is generally due
directly to the lack of parental tact.
One of the most Important duties of
a parent Is to teach the child to save.
Saving comes next to honesty and so
briety. And it "is unquestionably one
of the greatest problems with which
the present generation Is confronted.
There Is no such reward for a well
spent life as to see our children get
a good start In life. The father who

SEW - HOMES ARE OCCUPIED
Home Builders Complete 3 Resi

Among the homes under construction
by the Oregon Home Builders tn the
Alameda and Olmsted Park districts
three were completed last week and
occupied by their owners.
Of these the home of C. D. Lehmkuhl
stands prominently as a feature house
of this addition. It is of the old South
ern Colonial ty ie, and occupies a wood
ed lot on Dunkley avenue, near Glenn.
Thia property. . together with the ad
ditional 60x100 lot adjoining, approxi
mates $10,000 in value.

and prudence to his son is guilty of
parental neglect. He can offer no bet
ter example to his son than to launch
a definite - financial plan which will
provide future duty and responsibility
for the latter.
Wise is the man who pays a goodly
amount of attention to his son's fi
nancial habits. Wise are the hundreds
of thousande of fathers who have pro
vided endowment life Insurance poli
cies for their sons. because in the fu
ture it will teach them to shoulder
their own responsibilities.
No . better plan can be offered to
teach the young man the underlying
principles of thrift. To the young man
of 21 who has been presented with
an endowment policy -which has been
In force for several years, it is a lesson
in the conservation of funds. .
Children's endowment policies can be
fitted to many purposes. They are a
splendid substitute for family protec
tion where -the head of the house has
been refused aa an insurance risk. Its
superiority over making regular depos
its in the savings -bank for fhe child
is so great that contrasts are unneces
sary. The maturity of an endowment
at the age In which a son or daughter
is ready for college is one of the most
practical applications of the policy.

BOOM PREWIRED FOR
Great Economic Expansion in
Year Pointed Out.
BUILDERS OBTAIN CAPITAL
American Contractor Cites I m?reas
ing Activity and Suggests to
Architects Xot to Plan-:
Permanent Buildings.
An enormous economic expansion hast1
been -going on during the past year,
despite the apparent presence of a.
weakening tendency in the building'
field, says the American Contractor.
There has been preparation f.or an an
ticipated boom, notwithstanding rough
spots here and there where the con
tractor has felt the stress of delayed
work and the Influence of a fairly un
pardonable Indecision on the part of
those who abruptly altered their plans
when they came to face war conditions
abroad and a stringent money rule at
home.
The almost absolute withdrawal ot
banks from the realty and building
loan field, which prevailed from August
last upon to beyond the new year, haa
been modified almost to the point of a
withdrawal of the rule barring all ac
commodations except upon liquid col
lateral. With the exception of four of
the large insurance companies of tha
country, corporations making a feature
or specialty of building loans held
back their capital through a period of
nearly six months and the sentiment
of uneasiness thereby imparted to tha
small Investor made it practically im
possible to finance a construction enter
prise. Blarket Again Normal.
This condition has passed and capi
tal has lost much of the abnormal tim
idity exhibited during the period de
scribed. Today the market is so far
back to normal that any worthy con
struction proposition presented to the
banks Is given due consideration.
There are delayed propositions now
emerging from the Insipid status
caused by disappointment and delay
consequent upon capital and other in
fluences that will go on In a modified
form.' Apropos of this feature, a stand
ard building authority aptly promul
gates the sentiment that "architects
would generally admit to a desire to
build for all eternity were that pos
sible," and permanence Is one of the
qualities in building which they chiefly
value.
But a review of the changrlng con
ditions of human life, the transitory
movements of population in certain lo
calities, and the altered methods under
which many Industries are carried out.
and, above all, the growth in the re
quirements of hygiene, leads us. some
times, to wonder whether developments
will not lead to the erection of a far
greater number of buildlnss whose life
will be intentionally limited from the
outset.
Great Changes Possible.
At first sight such a point of view is
unpleasant to the architect, who should.
however, consider that If buildings were
frankly more temporary In character
it is probable that more people would
build or that they would build more
frequently. Nor Is there any real rea
son why if such were the case, art
should differ. Whether a building be
designed for 60 or 600 years, the same
essential problems of space, proportion
and the disposition of voids and solids
will always remain.
The thought expressed is incorpor
ated in the present article because of
the very large number of small theater
and other buildings erected to meet the
requirements of an unsettled period.
yet In their bulk representing a very
respectable investment and activity.
