Olympic reached New York from the other side. realized by those who loan money for purposes of investment. Today there is a serious specula tive element in building within al most all of the larger communities of the country, and this affects the rates at which money is loaned for build ing purposes. Conditions must be es tablished by which each of the groups interested in the building industry may receive fair treatment and by which the public will also receive fair treatment. Nobody is benefited by a situation which leads to permanent stagnation in the building industry, and least of all those who are pecun iarily interested in the building trades. All groups pecuniarily inter ested in these trades must make sac rifices and all should be willing to sacrifice for the public good. A real partnership of endeavor to better the building situation will lead to definite and concrete results. The general public, which .suffers most from the present situation, is not easily arous ed in many of the larger communi ties of the country against profiteer ing landlords. It will be aroused against labor organizations, material men and contractors, unless these several interests set their own houses in order. A constructive program for better housing renders it nec essary that all of these groups cease their present improper practices. Community Service IK RENTS STILL Pioneer Employment Co.

Dodd, an attorney of Chicago, was selected as general chairman of the Public Committee of Five on Housing when that organization was formed Novem ber 30, 1921. The committee began an extensive investigation into the housing problem not only in Chicago but throughout the United States. It was from this investigation that Mr. Dodd drew the conclusions he pre sents herewith. GRADUATIN' DAY The graduatin' days have come, the brightest of the year. Take off yer hat, an' smile out loud, an" don't forget to cheer. It s good to see em graduate, jes' like their mother did back there when Dad played hookey, like a good-fer-nothin' kid. There's nothin' else fer them to do they've got to step down off the stage, to make room fer the rest. There's others comin' on the trail a-pushin that away; it keeps the old world rollin' round, in circles, as they say. It allers makes me happy like to watch 'em, as it were, an' see 'em get diplomys never dreamin' what they're fer. They'll plunge into the sea of life, an grab at every straw, an' lots of 'em will be surprised, the During the war little building was done. With the termination of the war it was apparent that there was great shortage of places in which people could live. This shortage has led to a continued high level of rentals, and to an overcrowding of people, to the detriment of life and health. Movements in New York, Massa chusetts, Illinois and other states for The Corner Stone In every structure is a headstone from which is determined its strength. In the structure of savings it is tried and proved which stands for all that is safest and soundest. A young artist unversed in financial matters returned home from a business trip to find his mother had invested her savings in a promotion Hiterpme which offered a very tempting 9, "It's no good," he said. "But you don't know about it yet," said the mother. "I know that any 'outside' investment wherein anyone with small capital can buy stock and which offers more than 6 has an el ement of risk in it which you can ill afford," he replied. Two years later events forced the mother to sdl and after all the "special clauses" had been observed, the interest she received on her money was less than IVi'Jd. . WE PAY 4 PER CENT ON SAVINGS. FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK HER BEAUTY BEST IN PROFILE L J Mile. Hugette Morny, just 20, is said to have the most beautiful pro file in the world. She is known as the Queen of the French Movies. What does Will Hays say? the regulation of the rental of dwell ing premises have to some extent met a temporary emergency situation, and restricted profiteering upon the part of landlords who have enjoyed a temporary monopoly. Kental legislation has, however, been a mere makeshift. The only permanent solution for the housing situation is the construction of more houses. A permanent high cost of dwelling construction and a perma nent domination of the situation by dishonest labor men and dishonest material men must be met in order that a new period of dwelling con struction may begin. The cost of living is gradually ad justing itself with respect to other items of expense, but the reduction as to other items is still in many communities more than offset by the high rates of rental. In the city of Chicago and in many other larger urban communities it now appears that rents are likely to go higher, rather than be reduced in the near future. The Bic Handicap The building situation in all of the larger communities of the country is now handicapped by combinations of material men which maintain the price of building material; by leader ship in the unions of the building trades of corrupt and incompetent leaders; and by restrictive agree ments among material men, labor or ganizations and contractors, which increase the pnee of building con struction. The Lockwood Commis sion in New York and the Dailey Commission in Illinois , have done something to expose conditions in the building industry in the cities of New York and Chicago. However, recent developments appear to indi cate that it is impossible to convict corrupt labor leaders in the city of Chicago. The Landis award issued in Sep tember, 1921, stands not merely for a lower wage scale in the city of Chi cago, but is more important as rep resenting an effort to get away from restrictive practices which are sup ported not merely by labor organi zations but by material men and con tractors as well. The Landis award has, however, as yet not led to ma terial improvement in the city of Chicago, tecause neither labor or ganizations nor material organiza tions have supported it with honesty, A Real Partnership. The time has come for the recogni tion that something drastic must be done in order that persons of moder ate means may be enabled to build homes for themselves. In order to accomplish this result it must be rec ognized that all elements in the com munity have a partnership interest in the construction of proper dwell ings for the housing of their people This partnership is one which musl be realized in a definite and concrete way by material men, labor organiza tions and contractors. It must be Homey Philosophy for 1922 Wouldn't it be a great thing if ev ery one of us was his own Chiro practor not worryin' so much about our spines, except to straighten the corkscrew spine brigade but gener ally goin in for adjustment. Here we've got this great an' glorious world handed over to us an we re makin' a whole lot of rumpus be cause we haven t got the furniture in the right place an the house upset. . Instead of settin' to work to straighten up, we sit down in the con fusion an' despair. When the good wife empties the dust pan into the yard she puts the little particles of dirt where they belong. Every gram of sand fits in. It's dirt only when it's put where it doesn't belong. Lets get down to try in a littje ad justment.

MATTHEWS D.D..LL. D. THE CRIME WAVE Crime is on the increase regard less of the statements of heretical pulpit parasites who say the world' is getting better. There are un mistakable reasons for the in crease. First: Your children are not taught the Bible. Less than twenty-five per cent of the children of the country can recite the Ten Commandments correctly. Ignor ance of the Bible increases crime. Second: You have preached that damnable crime producing lie, namely, "jhere is no sin," un til its effect is now felt in the wave of theft, arson, and murder. Third: You have yielded to the infamous, demon-possessed-feminine-maudlin sentiment which looks upon the criminal as a hero and the jails as rest resorts until you have destroyed the idea of pun ishment. Consequently crime in creases. Fourth: Your lax, criminally lax, enforcement of law has in creased crime. Your juries are cowards and your judges are with out judicial conscience or a penal backbone. Their sentences are a curse to law anfl an encourage ment to the criminal. The time has come to demand that all people, and especially the courts and their officers, shall re spect law and enforce its stern de mands upon criminals regardless of political fear or favor.
