expect to measure its full force.
The automotive industries,
for instance, are pfenning to
produce ^proximately 3,000,
000 paswnger cars and trucks
in 1928, as compared with
production slightly in excess of
2,500,000^11 1922, the record

Building construction .leaped
into the stride of an o1( Mime-
or,i-rather, a newtime—boom
during the past year, the totals
for new building breaking all
records, not only in dollars but
number* The shortage of skill-
ed workmen became sp acute in
these lines in 1922 that the daily
wage of the fikilkd artisan
climbed to an average of from
$10 to 12, white here and there,
notably tor "New York City, wa-
gal and bonuses aggregating
$80 a day were paid for the ser-
vie* of the best workers.
Btoildlng construction, in the
view of many engaged in the
business, will exceed even that
record this year. There has
bean no great seasonal recession

more than a bay to#
to lave a good time in or

papier dolls which may be cut
out of the color sections of the
fashion magazines. We have
improvements in these modern
days, it may be, on the crackar
box and this cookie jar. No
doubt cookies between meals
contributed as much harm to the
digestion as they do good to
memories that some of us now
associate with the thought of
home. But the old home had its
advantages, too.
Home used to be a »>Iace
where there was love—and it
still is. Home used to be a
place where there was parental
sacrifice—and in perhaps a
somewhat more easy going fash-
ion it is such a place even now.
But home used to be a jurisdic-
tion under authority. How
many homes nowadays are un-
der an atmosphere of authori-
ty? So far as attractiveness
and wholesome and healthful
surroundings are concerned, the
modern home probably is better
than the corresponding grade of
home from which the home-
makers of today came. But
there is a tendency—perhaps we
are prone to overestimate it in
comparison with our recollec-
tion of our own childish days—
to make each child an exception
to the rule to the point where
he is under no rule. Men of to-
morrow will not be able to rule

ia muirouae of stores,
for it is said that for every 167
automobiles in the United Sta-
tes there is one repair shop,
while there Is one automobile
supply company for every 156
automobiles.
Zoning grows.—"As defined
by the building and house di-
vision of the Department of
Commerce," says the Outlook,
"zoning provides by a neighbor-
ly kind of agreement that a city
or town shall be divided into
districts in which the uses for
which structures may be built,
their maximum height, and the
area of the lot which they may
cover, are established. In liie
with the zoning plan, certain
districts are set aside for resi-
dences, for apartment houses,
for office buildings, and for
manufacturing. "More than
fifteen million people now live
in zoned cities, towns and vil-
lages. Twenty-seven per cent
of the total urban population of
the country are located in zoned
municipalites. The largest zon-
ed city in the world is New
York.

Speeding up the mails.—Se-
veral means of speeding up the
mails are being used by the Post
Office department. Several
others are being tried out. To
facilitate quicker mail delivery
in the larger cities underground
tunnels with electrically opera-
ted cars are under consider-
ation. The necessity for speed-
ing up in these cases can be rea-
lized when it is remembered
that since 1918 th« volume of
mail in New York alone has
doubled. This year is to deter-
mine whether transcontinental
night airplane routes are fea-

;,T, New York mail in San Francis-
co thirty hours after it is post-
ed, if the airplane deliveries
prove as successful as it is hop-
ed they will. The Postmaster-
of today rule their children.'
How can we expect a man to
rule himself if nobody else has
ever been able to rule him?

, General prophecies that we
subjects of dimpair, although itjshaI1
soon have "mailgrams,"
is easy sometimes to persuade that iit> letter> sent bv
ourselves that all good things
went out of the home when the
great open fireplace and the
blacklog went out of fashion.
But is probably true that the
complications of our day make
it more difficult for homemak-
erS now to find the time and
mood for reflecting in quiet
seriousness about the great res-
ponsibility of the undertaking
which is their supreme business.
For, after all, if parenthood is
not the supreme business of pa-
reats, what is? Any other ear-
thly business is one of providing
either background or mainten-
ance for the business of making
a home. If that isn't true in
Individual cases, then the fact
that it isn't true is a pretty good
indication of what's wrong with
the individual cases.— State

THIS AND THAT
Discharged bureau of En-
graving officials reinstated.—It
will no doubt be recalled by our
readers that some months ago
there was a great stir about the
discharge of the Director of the
Bureau of printing and a con-
siderable number of officials un-
der him. It was surmised that
there was something crooked in
the bureau. Another explana-
tion was that politics had some-
thing to do with the discharge.
Then there was a report about
duplicate Liberty bonds. Re-
cently the government has rein-
stated the discharged men and
gave testimony to their hones-
ty. This comes as the result of
rations exttnding over
several months, The investiga-
tion discloses the fact that some
wire,
wireless, or telephone. He sug-
gests that the government
"make arrangements with exis-
ting private plants of commu-
nication for the despatch of
mail matter in this unusual
manner."
