HOPE OF THE NATION
Philadelphia Still Clings te Old
Ideal of One Family Under
One Reef
$10,000 HOUSE FOR GIFT
U. S. CeneUB figures show that
cut of 390,000 dwellings in Philadel
phia, 192,000 are owned by the oc
cupants. ThiB is net only a "City
f Hemes" but of home-ewnors.
In all metropolitan cities there is
inevitably a floating population that
finds apartment life convenient.
Heusing conditions and servant
problems have vecently driven ethera
into this form of dwelling, but in
Philadelphia, please Heaven, the
apartment will never take the place
of the true, old fashioned American
home the home that from the time
of Penn, the Founder, meant always
one family under one reef.
The Philadelphia home knows
none of the evils of congestion
icant room, little privacy and the
dangers that lurk in every communi
ty where strangers are thrown by
force of circumstances into contacts
that are tee intimate. On the con
trary, it is the home where parent
hood can attain its highest ideals and
the family can be reared amid sur
roundings perfectly conducive te
health, morality and enduring happi
ness. The passing of the home would,
mean the end of the American family.
In many apartments children arc for
bidden. High Prices Felt Keenly.
Philadelphia has felt mere acutely
than any ether community in America
the changes wrought by the war.
Other cities have had mere unem
ployment, higher prices and relative
ly mere congestion, but these cities
have net had the background of
Philadelphia te make their people
feel the hardships se keenly.
It will take a long time for hous
ing construction te accommodate com
fortably the many thousands added
te the city's population in the past
fw years. In the meantime rent3
and equities are still close te war
levels and arc likely te remain se, by
the immutable law of supply and
demand.
And it is net only that homes are
ftarce and high. Many a family that
ha? a home can no longer find the
Fame pride and comfort in it. With
earnings seriously diminished the
inevitable economies have made dif
ficult, often impossible, the replace
ment of worn-out furnishings.
But there is one hope of removing;
the fundamental causes of the stag
nation prevailing. That hope lies in
the renewal of confidence, the re
newal of business activity, the re
newal of the old inborn American
Bpirit of enterprise. And te the wom
en of Philadelphia new comes a
wonderful opportunity te accomplish
much of this renewal, net only for
themselves but for the country at
large.
This is an opportunity net only te
help turn the wheels of trade, but te
acquire, at no cost te themselves,
their husbands or their families,
beautiful and valuable furnishinga
for their homes, while the most for
tunate will get a handsome home free.
