Is Our Home Becoming a Mis- nomer?—A Man Without a Home Is a Man With-| out a Country, Says Reader. | BY CYNTHIA GREY | On this, Memorial day, it seems fitting and proper that} we should continue our discussion on the Great American Home, because down deep beneath the various causes of! war, the preservation of the home. has been the prime rea- son that our veterans of different conflicts shouldered arms. | Is the American home passing? Readers seem to be of different opinions, Let us hope that those who atill have faith enough in this great institution to staunchly defend it are right when they maintain that it is not a thing of the past—merely modernized. Following are some letters on the subject: Dear Miss Grey: Please allow me to join in the discus-| sion on the “passing of the American home,” First, let me compliment you, Miss Grey, in giving this great subject special notice in your columns, for next to the Christian religion in importance to humanity, is the home.
