The land may offer problems to the investor but it still is as good as paper, all things considered. This fact, and the prevailing low prices for construction, should offer encouragement to the prospective home builder. It is possible, of course, for a man to find a safer, saner in- vestment for his money but he will {be the very rare exception if he does find it. And if the homing instinct calls, {take note of these facts, culled from a leading magazine: | “Stone veneer construction will | cost about the same as frame con- struction in 1928. The most mod- ern vapor vacuum heating sys- tem with oil burner may be had for the same amount as a one- pipe coal system with furnace | four years ago. Tiling in bath- rooms costs less than cement plaster did in 1928, and brass Pipe costs less than iron did at that time. Hardware is 35 per cent cheaper than in 1928 and plumbing fixtures almost 45 per cent cheaper. Four-inch oak floors today are less expensive than 22-inch pine in 1928.” Buying a Safe Car In a recent address, Maxwell Hal- sey, traffic engineer of the national bureau of casualty and surety under- writers, told how to buy a safe car.

Von Papen: 1918 and 1932 Nothing shows more clearly how he passions of war-time have died ‘own than the way in which the american public has received the sews that Colonel Franz Von Papen tas been called to the helm of the 3erman republic. In 1917 and 1918 this Von Papen vas one of the nation’s favorite hates. 4s military attache at the German ‘mbassy in Washington, prior to America’s entrance into the war, he iad been a little bit more active for che Fatherland than a diplomat in a ; land is supposed to be, and fiche ‘Wilson demanded, and got, his recall.

In Pennsylvania alone, during November, 1931, the defective automobile was re- sponsible for 12 deaths, 327 injuries and demolition of property totaling $52,700. The safe car provides good visibil- ity—good enough so the driver can see an object on the ground, either in front or at the side, two car lengths away, Rear body structure must be solid. Steering, of course, is a factor of the utmost importance. In the safe ear there is no sense of “pulling” or of road “fight.” Brakes must be equalized, must apply easily and yet not grab, and must stop the car quickly, not only at 20 or 30 miles an hour, but at 40 and 50. The car must hold the road well, and show no ten- dency toward bouncing when making emergency turns and stops. These matters but touch the surface of the “safe car” problem. Tremen- dous progress has been made in au- tomobile design and mechanical con- struction—further progress will be made when the public demands it. Every purchaser should make it a} point to look not only for speed, power and appearance in a car, but to give| great consideration to the safety fac- tor—whcether his prospective car costs $500 or $10,000, \ Hitler on the Upswing | When Germany's National Social- ists elected just exactly half of the} diet members of the Mecklenberg- Schwerin diet at Sunday's elections, they gave additional strength to the prediction that Adolph Hitler, party chief, is the coming man of the hour in “The Fatherland.” President Von Hindenberg has called | another national election to be held next month and the effect of the re- cent Nazi victories in elections to what imight be compared with our state legislatures will be determined then. There seems every reason to believe that Hitler's group, contesting against a multiplicity of parties, will come out top dog. Examination of the causes behind this phenomenal rise of a man who |seems to be more vain than gifted, takes us back to the treaty of Ver- sailles, Hitler is the one man in Germany who has been insisting, in season and out of season, that the treaty must be revised or repudiated. The crushing burden of reparations is to be borne no longer; nor will Ger- many continue to accept the treaty’s assertion that she alone caused the war, Today's ominous crisis was made for us by the men who made that treaty. | Editorial Comment | Editorials printed below show the | trend of thought by other editors.

Every time I en- deavored to soothe the anxieties of our readers about wet feet and pass- ing zephyrs, which was often, this smug mentor did his darndest to nul- lify the effect of my teaching. I can tell you folks who have wondered why I am so sarcastic that this incubus I've been carrying on my back all these years has had a good deal to do with it. Well, I've gained a reprieve at last. The old boy is not dead, you under-} Stand, but out. I'm as free today to} tell the world it doesn't matter whether you scrub your tonsils as I was before this old curmudgeon ever rested his icteric eye on my copy. ; Which is none too free, but what I mean not egregiously trammeled. eration I have decided to open a new department or division of this service. It will be remembered by many of our Teaders and it must be remembered by as many others, that this is not a clinic, not a racket for marketing mail-order medical or near-medical advice. This is strictly a HEALTH service, and our first concern is teach- ing our readers how to KEEP WELL. jIf they fail to hear and heed the teachings and warnings given here, then we hope they will have learned enough from this column to consult a physician about their complaints or call one in to take care of them. Cer- tainly our usefulness to readers is sec- ondary, even if we can be helpful at all, after they've flaunted our advice and taken ill. The new department will be called either the Ha Ha Division or the Haw Haw Corner. Which name do you think more appropriate? Somehow Ha Ha has a slightly unpleasant ring. Haw Haw seems heartier and more honest. But, we'd like to know what our readers think about it—both kinds of readers, that is, the more intelli- gent and hence healthier as well as the dumb and usually ailing kind. You see, we are not osteoblastic; in- deed we make no bones of it at all, and that's precisely the attitude we like our friends to take. For today’s Haw Haw Corner, for example, this clipping from an east- ern paper will suffice: Puzzling Colds Grip Country Continued From Page PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

The other driver denied the collision had been his fault, denied it so vociferously that 20.minutes later before a po- lice captain he was charged with driving while intoxicated. Cherry, bewildered and fright ened, heard the charge, She did not understand why she had to be there. What alarmed her most was the increasing fear that her father would have to know. All’ her life long the possibility of displeasing her father had been held over Cherry as the ultimate threat. He would be furious—might refuse to let her keep the roadster! eee yaar was when Dan Phillips ap- peared. Dan, loitering at dis trict headquarters, had in five min- utes collected details of the colli- sion. They were scribbled on copy paper, ready to be telephoned to the office.
