Carpenter, Uns.?m' HOME TOWN HELPSl> EFFECTIVE PLEA FOR ZONING Practically Impossible to Construct Proper Sewerage System Without Up-to-Date Arrangement. The value of completely zoning a city or village is demonstrated In many ways. One of these 1s in the op portunity it gives the engineers to de sign and build sewer systems on pre cise information as to the character, number and use of buildings that will occupy the district which the sewer system is to serve. The information derived from the zoning ordinance and the official maps will tell him in advance that the area to be drained is zoned, say, for a ilngle-family district. This means ta the engineer a smaller density of pop ulation, a smaller volume of sewage, shallower and smaller sewers. Without zoning, the engineer ia j obliged to estimate the type and In- I tensity of the development of any ; given district and design his sewers on the basis of his estimate. If in his estimate he did not pro vide for large numbers of apartment j buildings or hotels, requiring provision j for a much greater volume of sew- j age and deeper ba|ements to be drained, his sewers .will be found to | be Inadequate to take care of the dis .... - | trlet as it finally develops. The inadequate sewer Is distressing nnd costly, as it means the backing up of the sewage into basements, In volving the loss of property by flood ing, the erpense of cleaning out the filth and silt which are deposited after the water has seeped away and the menacing th% health of occupants of the buildings. ? From a Report of the Zoning Committee of the Western Society of Engineers. NOT YET NATION OF RENTERS Home Ouming It by No Meant a Lost Ambition Among People of the United 8tatee. Is home owning a lost ambition? Are we becoming a nation of cliff ' dwellers and renters? Not If we put faith In the figures compiled by the lately established bureau of housing of the Department of Commerce, ob serves the Nation's Business. Of 68 dtles of more than 100, OOP population but 20 show a loss in percentage of homes owned be tween 1910 and 1920 (the figures are from the census bureau), and the losses are more than offset by the gains of the other 48. Of the 20 where losses were recorded, four, De troit, Cleveland, St. Louis and Los Angeles, are In the first ten cities In point of population. Although In New York more homes are owned than in any other dty, the percentage is the lowest, but 12.7, yet even here the percentage has grown from 11.7 In 1910 and 12.1 in 1900. Manhattar presents the most striking situation. With more than half a mil lion homes, less thaji 11,000 were owned, little more than 2 per cent If home owning be a form of civic virtue, then Des Moines may gather m her chaste skirts about her as painted Manhattan passes, for the Iowa para gon among cities shows a percentage of home ownership of 51.2, a growth from 45.6 per cent In 1910 and 38.5 j In 1900. In only one other community of more than 100,000 inhabitants are half the homes owned and that Is I Grand Rapids, Mich. n ? i Old Houses Being Made Over. An era of remaking old houses runs across the entire country, according to Northwest lumbermen. > Following the building shortage of i late years has come an appreciation that any house, old or new, has untold possibilities of alteration. Architects have been called upon to produce in stances of "before and after" of ram shackle, barnlike structures made over Into charming homes. Old barns have been rebuilt into studios, sheds and ; warehouses into residences of taste. There is an enormous demand on the Northwest planing mills for mold jj ings, trimmings, shingles, sidings, in | side finishings, lumber and fancy I grained fir, hemlock or cedar for cab j inet work. Lumbermen declare this demand has come from the alteration wave over the nation, repairing and adding built in features. How Zoning Saves Money. It is estimated l?y the city engineer of the city of St. Louis that zoning would have saved the property owners about lf> per cent of the cost of sewer construction. If this saving is true in the case of sewers, is it not equalty true of the other services which combined make ! a mighty sum? Avenged. "Good heavens, man; pretty badly smashed up, ain't you? Anybody with you ?" "Yea, the chap who was trying to sell mi this used car." ? Harper's Mag azine. Use and Appearance. "Do you think your bathing suit is proper ?" "Proper enough as a bathing suit," replfed Miss Cayenne, "though per : haps deserving of criticism as | scenery." j Confidence Is a fine virtue but a poor | gamd. Dark horses frequently turn out to ! be white elephants. Greece wants $10,000,000, but is not alone in that distinction. What China needs in addition to an open door is an up-and-doer. Eventually Europe will be saved is aplte of ?very effort, H save Misery doesn't love company when ifs the company that make* the mis ery. i * The most Ignored man in the world is the bridegroom on hie own wedding day. The limelight le what eoablee the public to see through a coat Of white wash. % The finger for the bridegroom to put a ring around now le the trigger finger. Long and short sklrte are absolute ly equal ? on the bill that hubby tee to pay. Falling prices are like falling stare. | They disappear before they get down I to earth. . If women really had no souls, a let of new-fangled religions would starve I to death. ; "That's a darned smart man" is equivalent to saying: "That chap agrees with me." Food is so costly in Russia and money so depreciated that it takes a j roll to buy a roll. If tlie winter wind can't make the girls wear long skirt* Parisian ? tailors can't, either.

Danger In Inflammable Roofs. The value of property destroyed by fires communicated through the root le reported as $223,000,000. Flre-preventlon campaigns are being launched In e number of cities as cue result of these figures. Indiana polls, Ind., began such a campaign early last year, with the result of a reduction in 1921 of $550, 000 In Ore losses and 850 in the num ber of fires. During one period, out of 1,199 fires in Indianapolis, 860 were di rectly chargeable to inflammable roots. Affected by World War.
