TIio multiplicity of tore, many of

failure whose demise la marked by the
"to let" sign, is one of the problem
with which, according to the civic de
velopment department of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States,
many cities are now struggling. It
arises a a phase of zoning.
"In several cities," Bay the chamber,
zoning authorities are studying th'a
problem and coming to teritntive con
clusions a to how lare a proportion
of the Btreet frontage In a given nrea
should be allocated to business. The
problem Is the same as thnt of the re
tollers, wholesaler and manufacturers
who are concerned over Irnonmt com
petition and buslnes failures. Bat the
different angle from which It I ap
proached should provide a valuable
means of checking results.
"In one large city of the Northwest,
for example. It Is believed thnt sub
business centers, outside the downtown
nrea, should have not "more than 2 pet
cent of the street frontage of a glveo
area. Studies mnde In the Los Angeles
metropolitan district Indicate that re
tall buslnefs will occupy only about S
per cent of on area, though from 11 to
13 per cent has been allocated to It by
the zoning regulations.

Home Ownership Stir
Pride of Possettlun
"Home ownership vs. rent Is not an
argument" ay a bulletin of the home
builder and subdivides division ot
the Cleveland Renl Estate board. "Th
money difference is not a folr basis on
which to approach the subject or t
arrive at a decision. Possession bring
pride, and pride Is the mother of many
virtues morals, thrift, discipline, self
respect and. In the end, freedom.
"A man or woman experience a
sense of freedom In the ownership ot
a borne that nothing else gives. And
freedom Is the base and the structure
of progress.
"Home ownership correctly mean
erecting a home when some efTort
some sacrifice has been mnde to ac
quire lund on which to build and then
building on the land, the two repre
senting n value. To do thla Inspire
desire, and It Is desire that builds first
the Individual, then the family, and
finally the nation."
Cont'der Human Element
If you Invite a group of contractor
to bid on your hous and they all
submit proposals, based upon tin
same plans and specifications. It il
customary to let-the contract to the
lowest bidder. If. however, quite a
number of contractors ask the prlvl
lege of estimating on your bouse. It
Is not necessary to follow this custom.
In fact, a well-prepared set of speci
fications Includes the following
clause: "The owner reserve the right
to reject nny and all bids." Contrac
tors and builders understand that the
lowest bidder may rot be the one
elected to erect the home. It may be
worth while to let the work to the
highest bidder even though the cost I
sotnewhnt Increased. The human ele
ment thnt enters Into home building
Is so Important thnt you should not

The growth of a city Is depend,-
to a large extent upon the stability of
Its citizenship. In this respect Cleve

Home owning Is a factor of para

It makes for n more Intelligent and
