20,000, as it can count on that many persons to patronize its schools, churches, Chautauquas, and theaters.

These Wisconsin studies, which were undertaken before the present development of motor transportation, showed that the number of children attending high school was closely related to road conditions in a given community. They indicated that these same conditions affected other contacts with the outside world. A list was made of twenty institutions, such as the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church, the Women's Club, the I. O. O. F., and the Grange. Each family in this county was queried as to whether it belonged to any, and how many, of the twenty institutions. It was found that the nearer one got to the town, the greater was the number of associations to which the average family belonged. Conversely, those living farther out had fewer contacts, and many families were found on the back roads who did not belong to one institution. This is the type of isolation which modern motor transportation is breaking down.

Perhaps the most valuable element in the life of yesterday was its independence. The community and the individual were relatively self-sufficient; both controlled their own transportation. We are coming to that state again today. The county may not be on the main highway, but it can readily build a road to connect with some main highway. Through this connection it is put in touch with the activity of the rest of the world. It has an outlet for its goods. It is assured of a tie-up with some main railway terminal. It has in effect created a spur-line route to its own front door.

So rapidly has the machine age de veloped that the question has often arisen whether man's own inventiveness might not be destroying him. Could he stand the pace of an industrial center? Would machinery result in the centralized control, stamping out the individual? There have been these dangerous tendencies, but there has also been an element of release from hard labor and saving of time in the progress of modern invention. Perhaps foremost on the social side has been the social influence of motor transportation eloquently attested by the two thousand individually owned homes of Chillicothe.

Permanent Homes, Always Beautiful

THE

HE beauty of your Face Brick home will be a source of never. ending satisfaction to you. And when your children pass it on to your grandchildren its original beauty will only have been mel lowed with the richness of age. A Face Brick house is a family legacy, becoming richer in traditions in each succeeding generation.

Then, too, your Face Brick house is a sound investment. It depre ciates almost imperceptibly, the walls require no repairs and are fire-safe, painting is required only around doors and windows, fuel costs and insurance rates are reduced to a minimum. From every point of view Face Brick gives you the greatest value for your building dollars.

These matters are fully discussed in "The Story of Brick," an attractive booklet with beautiful illustrations of modern homes and packed with information of value to every prospective homebuilder. Sent free on request.

"Face Brick Bungalow and Small House Plans" are issued in four booklets, showing 3 to 4-room houses, 5-room houses, 6-room houses and 7 to 8-room houses, in all ninety-six, each reversible with a different exterior design. These designs are unusual and distinctive, combined with convenient interiors and economical construction. The entire set for one dollar. Any one of the booklets, 25 cents, preferably in stamps.

We have the complete working drawings, specifications and ma sonry quantity estimates at nominal prices. Select from the booklets the designs you like best and order the plans, even if you are not going to build now, for their study will be not only interesting and instructive, but helpful in formulating your future plans for a home.

You may want "The Home of Beauty," fifty designs, mostly two stories, representing a wide variety of architectural styles and floor plans. Sent for 50 cents in stamps. We also distribute complete working drawings, specifications and quantity estimates for these houses at nominal prices. Address, The American Face Brick Asso ciation, 1739 Peoples Life Building, Chicago, Illinois.

BY THE WAY

HE caption-writer of the London "Sphere seems not to have been around the globe much, notwithstanding the title of his paper. In a recent issue he says that the Municipal Building of New York City is "situated on the 'Great White Way' of the American capital"!

The President of the Harvard Club of Singapore writes from that antipodean port to the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin" that his club is small but flourishing, and is doing what it can to advance the interests of Harvard on that side of the world. To this end, he says, a small model of the John Harvard statue has been placed in the office of the Colonial Secretary for the Straits Settlement," "where it is doing a great deal to remove the impression generally current among official Britons that Harvard is merely the name of a beer." Furthermore, he announces, a large photograph of the last Harvard-Yale football game has been hung in the club-house of the Dyak Head Hunters Association of North Borneo, where it is arousing enthusiastic interest among the young and enterprising head hunters, who believe that they could pick up some valuable hints duri ing a course at Harvard.

Athletes, owing perhaps to their severe training and strenuous exertions, are often short-lived. An exception to this rule, if it is a rule, is furnished by the career of Henry E. Buermeyer, who recently died at the age of eighty-four. He was one of the founders of the New York Athletic Club and the first amateur champion heavyweight boxer of the United States. In his prime he could put up two ninety-eight pound dumbbells at the same time, could lift 1,250 pounds from the floor, and could run a hundred yards in 10 seconds. He held more than fifty medals which he had won in athletic events of various sorts.

In "Studies of the Chinese Drama," by Kate Buss, it is said that in Chinese theaters the pleasant custom obtains of collecting the admission fee during the evening after those persons who may not find themselves interested in the performance have had time to depart. In other cases money may be tossed upon the stage at the end of a performance. All Chinese theaters, it is remarked, have certain unhygienic customs such as a common use of wet towels, passed about to "refresh" the audience; the omnipotent teacup; and the unfreshened air. Stands for teapots and cups are within reach of everybody, and tea is served continuously; even an actor may be offered a cup of tea while playing, if his part is difficult or prolonged.

The so-called evil smells of China, the author of the above-quoted book observes, are traditional, and give pleasure to the Chinaman, whose idea of sweet and foul differs from our own. The

[graphic]

Chinaman's scent perception is more highly developed than the Westerner's, it seems; we cultivate mainly sight and hearing, while the Chinese revel in "sweet" odors that to us are objectionable.

[graphic]

"On two successive pages of your issue of October 4," a subscriber writes, "an incorrect quotation occurs-'He who runs may read.' The passage from which this is taken is in the Bible, Habakkuk ii. 2, 'And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.' As annotated in the Scofield Reference Bible, 'that he may run that readeth-i. e., as a messenger of the vision.""

This is doubtless a correct interpretation of the Scripture; but our quotations have the sanction of usage as crystallized by the poets. Cowper, for instance:

But truths on which depends our main concern,

That 'tis our shame and misery not to learn,

Shine by the side of every path we tread

With such a luster he that runs may read.

And Tennyson:

Read my little fable:

He that runs may read.

Most can raise the flowers now,
For all have got the seed.

An "anti-feminist reaction" is noted in the "Woman Citizen" as gaining force in several countries, among them Great Britain. As illustrating the point, it is said that a woman physician, who until recently held a position as adviser at a maternity clinic in England, was dismissed when she married!

America does not share in the reaction above noted by the "Woman Citizen," for it continues to give women greater advantages. The latest privilege conferred by a new Federal law, according to the "Citizen," gives the alien-born woman the opportunity of becoming an American citizen after only one year's residence. It takes away from her, however, the easy method of becoming a citizen by annexing a native husband. The law, fortunately, is not retroactive, and foreign-born women who have been forehanded in acquiring citizenship through the marital method will not lose their standing as citizens.

San Francisco has more hotels than any other city in the United States except New York, according to a recent report of the Hotel Association. It has only four houses, however, of the "first capacity"-hotels having more than 450 rooms. Of these New York has 18, Chicago 11, Los Angeles 5; Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh each have three; Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Washington have two; Philadelphia has one. Atlantic City and Saratoga, strangely enough, are not included in this list.
