The people who are interested in the develop
ment of their Jiome towns are realizing more and
more that one of the most important steps to pro
gress is to make these* towns attractive to the eye.
To obtain this quality of attractiveness calls
for ageneral cooperation on the part of the people.
No small group of persons can accomplish it alone.
People must feel a desire that their community
shall be on a Somewhat higher level than the aver
age.
,
The business men must desire a neat and sub
stantial appearance for the business eenter. Build
ings that show lack of care, store windows that look
behind the times, sidewalks that are out of repair,
mar the appearance of iiich a town, and the busi
ness men should insist that such conditions be im
proved.
Real estate people and builders' have much to
do with the attractiveness of a town. If they put up
dwellings in a cheap and unfinished way, leaving the
ground of these new places in a rough condition
when the houses are sold, these raw neighborhoods
detract from the town’s attractiveness. But if such
development is done smoothly and completely, with
good looking streets and sidewalks and tree plant
ing, then a fine touch of progress is given.
The householders all have to contribute by
the care given to their individual homes. Every
owner should feel that it is up to him to contribute
by keeping up his place, repairing all defects and
constantly adding some new touch, of beauty. The
home renter should not feel satisfied to let the place
rnn down under his care, but should take pride in
acting as if he belonged in the neighborhood. And
then to add the final touch of attractiveness, well
maintained park spaces are needed, which shall be
made fine displays of trees and shrubbery. A town
wliere these standards prevail has a secure and con
stantly more prosperous future ahead of it.
Playless Children
A Boy’s Club speaker of Boston remarked that
there are 60,000 boys of school age in that city
whose living conditions deprive them of a boy’s nor
mal chance for play. Also that the boy living in
congested districts has three or four times as much
chance to get into serious trouble, as on«? where
normal activities for boys are possible.
It seems amazing that a famous city like Boston
will permit 60,000 of its hoys to come up without
having normal chance for play. Activities for girls
are needed just as much. But in most of the great
cities conditions are the same, and in the majority
of the smaller ones, there .is a failure to give the
boys and girls a fair chance at the activities be
longing to their age.
When you coop children up in towns at u time
when (heir nature calls them to do active things,
you take a chance that something in them will ex
plode and cause trouble, unless outlet for normal
play is provided.
The Steps of the Housewife
The acerage housewife takes 20,000 steps daily,
according to l)r. Lilyveld, director of the National
Association for Foot Health. Some of these married
women who are satisfied their vanity while doing
housework, by wearing fancy shoes built for style
rather than comfort, would better not that those
20,000 steps will mount up to about 7,000,000 in a
year, not to speak of any they may take at the
dances. If they want good fee tfo r the rest of their
lives, they would better wear shoes that would
make those millions of steps come easily.
The human body is built ou the feet as a founda
tion, and if people neglect or abuse them, they will
lie much like the building whose foundation wall
is giving away.
Prince William of Sweden says America is
slow in the air. Maybe in it, Prince, but certuiuly
not with it!
