The Government will guarantee loans on new homes up to 90 per cent, leaving only 10 per cent to be advanced by the home-owner. Thus, with $300 one may acquire a brand new $3,000 house. Oye of the last things the late O. O. McIntyre, famous columnist, wrote was a nostalgic reminiscence of! other writers who had recently gone over the horizé: and for whom he had a p admiration. New friends, he mused, Were diffieuild # “arquire with oncomiag N gone to join his comrades glory with them in their Valhalla.

In = ‘fect points refleet one cer- tain fs. that it doesn’t matter |whatthe . ~« usiness” represents— whether a business of a man working for himself or employing five persons or five | thousand, the same problems exist. At the meeting, Mr. Tom Jones of | Jones and Co., was either a maker of hats j in Duluth, or < orick manufacturer in Cleveland or a scrapiron merchant in Po- dunk. If his experience conforms to that of the average businessman, a glance at his ledgers shows the following for the past two years: 1. The hourly wage rate he pays is | 10 to 15 per cent above what _it was. a} year ago. 2. His taxes have risen and he m | new even per ara Gitive t tax on ings retained put back in his busi / 3. He pays an old-age insurance larger than it should be because it is used | to build up a large reserve fund which is actually non-existent. | 4. in the businesses of those supplying him with raw matérials, have caused his costs | for materials to rise at a dizzy pace. | As the New York Times comments on the “Little Business” report: “Anything that will actually help Mr. Jones reduce his prices, by enabling him to reduce his costs, will bring Mr. Jones’s customers back into the market and revive retivity in other businesses, both big and little.” at i | THE WAR ON SYPHILIS There was a time when the people of the éxample 6: of “the ostrich, ‘sticking eyes the grotnd to avoid facing unpleasant and nasty facts. | Luckily, there isa general tendency today to do away with false modesty and | look life in the face in order to compre- | hend. the difficult problems that must be | solved. | This is particularly true about | present campaign in many States to eradi- cate syphilis, which, it is said, annually in- | fects some 60,000 babies at birth. Ac- cording to scientific research, ninety per cent of these tiny victims would be free of | the disease if proper treatment were given | their mothers before their birth. The New York State legislature now | has befor to require expectant | mot! e blood tests for syphilis. A ; Poll of pi_.:. sertiment, undertaken, b; | the American Institute of Public Ovigfon asserts that 83 per cent of the peop of | the country favor such a law and | ninety per_cent of the wamen questi were in fafor of the law. Certainly, is high time that Fthe fight against syphilis becomes, nationwide. There is no sense in shutting our eyes to | the danger of the disease or to its prev- alence. Moreover, there is no excuse for its continuation as a social scourge. é,it a bi red ONCE UPON A TIME Once upon a time there' was a man, who lived in a town, and spent all his | money away from home.
