ESTTElt HOMES WEEK
. By Edna Garfield
(Written for .The Statesman.)
We'd better home at home this week
And make our BETTER HOMES WEEK speak I
We'd better all spruce up a bit
Twill makq a. BETTER-HOMES-WEEK hit;
Let's Jet our brightest lights be lit
Our hearts and hearth-lights, let them' shine
For BETTER HOMES your home and mine;
(For homes, though human, are divine.)
'prom better homes eome better men,"
Says some one, and I add. "amen." .
(And man embraces women.- 'Hem.)
By "drive for BETTER HOMES" is meant
A lure of normalcy co'ntent
Means more ot rest, and less upheaval;
Better morals; less of evil; " '
More of fresh air, sunshine, health
Man's greatest asset, joy, wealth., .: r
All this saith Fed-ed Women's Clubs,
(Which, spells the axle, spokes and hobs
Since men have made them pals and sub; a
And so says B P W Prichard,
-(As braye as ever was King Richard;)
So says the leader, Mrs, Winter, .;
Likewise the foremost athlete-Bprlnter;
And. like Willamette's Carl Cvegg Doaey,
, Saltp. Mrs. Win. Brown Meloney f
(Our LenA'a Lake and Forrest crony
Both known from Western Sea to Coney.)
And-so says U. S. Commerce, Chamber;
(All's good they Jubricate and limber;)
Agreed are doctors, lawyers, preachers.
Farmers, manufacturers teachers;'
Heads of old Cornell and Harvard
Airmen-Seamen -port and lar'b'rd. -
And thus opines our President
Our, Comrade Cal, so finely blent;
"We need abuhdant home-sunlight, ;
(No harm to make the burdens light)
So life can reach the heavenly height)
With happy children, reared upright."
And harken unto Herbert Hoover:
(Then, If you're doubtful, wait and prove 'er:
"The. homes in which we dwell affect us;
Our early memories should perfect us."
He loud decries nomadic life.
And pleads for homes the foe of strife;
He recommends they be upbuilt.
(Don't wait until the milk is spilt.)
Then Mrs. Calvin Cool id ge, too,
Did novel stunt that few can do,
By laying Girl Scouts' cornerstone
Of that historic house. "Sweet Home"-
A replica, ia every grain.
Ot that of loved John Howard Payne.

So. while this is but feeble start
Upon the subject next our heart.
Of BETTER HOMES WEEK set apart, i
I feel there can be no delusion
About the comfort in conclusion
Of this, my ''BETTER HOMES" effusion:
If we're hard-hit by winds of Fate, :
From world of Doqbt- of Greed o Hate,
Of whatsoever's on the slate-r- t ,
If unfair blows in Life are dealt us. -Or
e'en if halls from Hades pelt as.
Our BETTER HOMES are altar shelter
A refuge from Life's helter-skelter.
So let this motto be our goal. ,
(And each one start the ball a-roll:)
HAVE BETTER HOMES, from Pole to Pole
They're altar for the wbole world's soul I
