WHY NOT A HOME OWNING CAMPAIGN , Sore feet, owned by a waiter, were the cause of a brutal slayeffect ing in an eastern city. A celebrated psychartrist traced the of the long continued irritation that tangled the nerves and unbalanced, the judgment of their victim until, upon being reprimanded for some minor lack of attention, he, lost all control of himself and' struck the customer on the head with a heavy silver dish cover. America. today is suffering from sore feet, its finance, its economic status, its internal misunderstandings, its external irritations, are all weakening at their base and how long it will be before we, as a nation, go mad and do things we will regret, may be aa matter of speculation. To remove some of those irritations is matter that is up to the individual citizen more than to any organized action on the part of bodies of citizens created for executive, to create conadvisory or other purposes. One of the first ways tentment, not slothfulness, and ambition, a new love of country, state anS city, is to cause .these units to have something they can be proud of, work for, find a goal to battle toward, and a reward worth while at the end. If these units can be made to do so their united efforts, although carried on independently, will surely react for a greater prosperity for the whole and thus relieve many , of the irritations already mentioned. ' With. this as a general basis on which to speculate it is not possible that the mind of America can be removed from the ache .of its feet if concentrated on something else and especially if that something else is a curative agent that is working all the time toward national, spiritual and economic health, ' What is man most proud of, most eager to work for, most de-- . fine sirousjto retain once secured, most insistant upon remaining and a center for alL his owVdideSand ambitions as well as those he entertains for his family? Theanswer is, of course, the home. true, but it needs no deep The home may be in a rented flat, it speculation or careful consideration to see that the man who owns his own home is far more deeply interested in the welfare of his neighborhood, his ward, city, state and country. It is obvious then that it will be a good thing for these various political and geographical locations if he be made to own a home. We have a period of depression at present as all know. What more creative of optimism, of an active labor market, of a renewed faith and ambition, of a quickened production could be suggested than a general move to build homes by all the thousands of men whd should be building them, buying them, owning them, but who for any. one of many reasons are now renters? If a national campaign could be organized and launched with the support and cooperation of all civic boards of trade, real estate boards, organizations of builders, lumber dealers, brick manufacturers, in fact ' every producing group that a creator of materials used in buildis little doubt but what every newspaper in the country ing, there that hsa the interests of its city at oart, and that means all papers, would join in heart The amount of work thus created would be limitless, the pock- -' etbooks opened uncountable, the trade stimulation beyond calcula-- i tion and the very business boom thus created in turn would make new individuals capable and willing to build and buy homes and thus go further along a move that seems well fated to be an endless circle of good. The recent war brought home to this nation as never before what a home may mean and how dearly it should be held, especially to thosewho were overseas came the realization that the nations are built of the homes and the greatest unity of purpose -- and unity of ambition rested where homes were owned, not by the few but by the many. J k s on. , ANOTHER WORLD FAIR The next great world exhibition will be held in Philadelphia in 1926 and is designed to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the singing of the Declaration of Independence. While the exact scope of the enterprise is not fully determined, it will have a marvelous field to visualize in the development of the past half century. Never before in an equal period of time have the arts, industries and the sciences progressed so marvelously. Life has been trans-- . formed since the centennial exposition of 1876 and things undreamed of then are the commonplaces of our daily lives. The world has seen giant strides made in the development of the telephone, in surgery, sanitation, education and social welfare woik, while the automotive industry, radio electricity and aerial naviga-- tion are now as familiar to all as the old stage coach to our 1 great-great-grandfathe- . rs. Ten years or records obtained at the United States weather bureau substation at Greenland ranch hi Death Valley, Calif., indicate 'that this is the hottest region in the United' States, and probably on earth. The average of extreme maximum temperature reported to the United States department of agriculture since 1911 has been, 125 degrees F. At Greenland ranch temperatures of 10 0 degrees F. or higher occur almost daily during June, July, and August. The' hottest month on record is July, 1917, when the mean temperature was 10 7.2 degrees F. But the temperature of 134 degrees F. observed on July 10, 1913, is by meteorologists to be the temperature ever highest natural-ai- r recorded with a standard tested thermometer exposed in the shade under approved conditions. Death Valley fs from two to eight mileswide and about J00 miles long, lying between high mountain ranges. It is the deepest depression in the United States, some estimates placing its lowest point at 337 feet below sea level. White people find the midsummer heat intolerable, and even the Indians go up to the Pana-miRange during July and Auguest. The normal annual precipitation in Death Valley is less than two in- ches. Successful agriculture can hot b,e maintained bn less than 15 or 2$ inches of annual precipitation without the aid of irrigation.

Instead of consisting of a handful of small plants struggling for life amid show and, ice in a scant, almost perpetually frozen soil, its vegetation was abun- dant and luxuriant and included ferns and palmlike plants that grows only in a mild and probably frostless climate. the This vegetation flourished in Palate least at from arctic regions leozoic to middle Cenozoic geologic time,' millions of years ago. before man existed. Although these lands art- i.ow so inhospitable and are rarely visiteil, tlie United States geological survey lias gathered a large amount of information concerning their fossil floras. A study of the coal beds of the Cape Lisburne region has incidentally disclosed many fossil plants. These coal beds are extensive and are the the only known commercially valuable mineral resources of that region. A little coal is occasionally mined for vessels that are short of fuel, which as there is no harbor, lie offshore and perilously load on a few sacks of coal by means of lighters. - What the New York Globe Said About Gypsy Passion Gypsy Passion. tlfe Americanized version of Jean Richepins story, Miarka, the Child Of the Bear, showing this week at the Strand, is remarkably interesting because of its very human story of strange superstitions, ambitions, jealousy and conquering love, most persuasively unfolded and acted.

Youth and romance . always have had their part in the construction of plays for the stage and screen because youth and romance are vital elements in life. And today, more than ever before, theatregoers are more interested in youth and romance than in any other quality of which entertainment is made. It isl'in fact, an age of youth and romance. Eden and Return. Doris Mays production is rich in both' these qualities. The freshness of and the delicious touch of youth romance developed by the story, which was adapted by Beatrice Van from the stage play of the same name by Ralph E. Renaud. make Eden and Return entertainment of the most delightful variety. It has nothing sordid or melancholy. It is a sheer delight in the spice of its merg riment and the story, embracing so many incidents that the spectator is actually kept in a state of joy. Imagine, for instance, the fun that can be evolved from a situation wherein Doris May as Betty Baylock faces the predicament of being compelled to marry any one of three undesirable young men her proud father has selected for her. Of course, she frowns on them all and .picks one of her own choosing, but the way in which she does it supplies the plot of as interesting a story as the screen has known in months. Then, too, Eden and Return is noteworthy because of the uncommon beauty of the scenic backgrounds and the extraordinary photgraphic effects, all of which wpre achieved only by the most intensive effort. Among the many surpassingly beautiful scenes is a Maxfield Parrish garden set of striking picturesqueness, net to mention stretches of desert landscape. Garden of Eden shots, beautiful home and lawn exteriors and other pictorial effects that combine to make the production a con tinuous' delight to the eye. much-soug- ht I Matinee every day ng 4 p.M Saturday, childrens meeting. 1 and 2 :15 swift-movin- s & PJYL 7:45 and 9:15 P.M.
