PATIENCE
■ Y D. E VELOPER
Patience is one of the many well known virtues of mankind Pa
Bence Is the “parent virtue” of such sterling characteristics as faith,
courage, kindness, amiability and so forth Probably no better illustra
non of the good basic quality and nen viiy of patience can he given
than that of the "mother love.” Impatience, of course, has made good
history in the annals of discovery and invention. George Washington,
for example, was impatient with British rule and domination; Henry-
Ford rightly figured that people were impatient with the inadequacies
of “old Dobbin” as a means of convevam e
Patience, however, has scored more victories than It* opposltp. The
problems of Detroit such a* inadequate housing facilities and public
utilities demand the exercise of patience hv the populace The same
element* which have made IVtroit the "wonder city” will likewise sus
tain the city and solve these problem- Furthermore, Intruder* arc
being well remunerated. In the form of the present prosperity, for their
patience
Plans Progress tp Extend Gas,
Water and Sewers to Detroit’s
Recently Annexed Territories
All facilities will be furnished in
the annexed territory of Detroit
during the present year to enable
home building activities to pro
gress at a rate greater than ever
before, according to the announce
ments recently issued by the city
engineer’s pflloe, the board of w a
ter commissioners and the 1s t roil
City Gas company.
While housing congestion un
doubtedly Is the most important
issue before the city, it Is general
ly recognized that the same rondi
lion affects to a proportionate d<
groe the industrial life of the city
In the first place, the proper hon*
Ing of labor Is one of the vital in
ferpnts of every industry, and it I
llkewise a fact flint Inadequate fa
cllitles also retard industrial d»-
velopment as well as home huild
ing activities.
There are many sections of the
city which could have been dev el
oped along Industrial lines within
ret ent years If the needed facilities
such as sewer, water anil transpor
tat inn could have been procured
This condition was brought to a
climax lasi year In thp form of ex-
EVIL STORIES OF
MOTHER-IN-LAW
CAUSE COMPLAINT
Mrs. Madeline heehnldt shrank
with embarrasamen Mondaj morn
ing In Judge Ijimbv ci>ttrt when her
Mtomey forced her to tell of her
mother-in la*'*'aJlogtMl pent hant for
suggestive stone* in her suit for
divorce .utainsi Clarence Seebaldt
‘'Clarence's mother used to tell
Hones that embarrassed me,” raid
Mrs. 8«-e>haldt.
“What were the Hones’" nsked
the judge.
Mrs See bald i winced She aid
• hat she couldn't tell stories of that
sort well ImCause he wasn't used
to them
"How many did you hear?" asked
her attorney.
"I ran't tell how manv I heard,
but wn**n I filed my hill | remem
bered right.”
She told a story .n lowered ti.ner
with her face averted to the judge.
It wax while Mm. Seebaldt. who la
only 21 y-'ars old. was i-n attractive
high school miss that rh*> met her
husband
Her mother-in law put a low esti
mate on.education she said
' Education never did any bod \ any
good. Clarence's r-other told me
once.” sne said "If she had her way
she’d turn the high schools into
kitchens and put the rirls to work,
►he declared. She said, t<»o. thst
tiobody amounted to anything tin
less th«y had money
"She told me that I never learned
to feed the b.vby in high scitool »ha*
she had had two lx>ys and thaf I
ought to follow her bdf'ce in taking
cart: of the baby. | told her I was
doing Just as the doctor told m»- to.”

OETROIT TIMES
Ire me housing congestion. Asa re
suit, there has been conceited ef
foi t on the part of the city admin
istration and many of the utility
• ompanies io effect a remedy for
(hi situation
The people have been looking to
the newly annexed territory as the
-o'ution of the housing congestion
since ihe districts offer great build
ing opportunities. The main ole
.-fade has been the inadequate sup
ply of water and sewer facilities.
Probably nothing has occurred in
Detroit in recent years to denote
more clearly the positive forward
stride- that are being made toward
a ‘bigger and better Detroit” than
the announcement of City Engineer
Mi.bhell that 44 miles of sewer
lin* s would be laid in the new ter
ritory in I!G7. anil that all demands
would b«- coped with, the statement
I-. City Water Hupt T A T.etaen
that 1 ; miles of water mains, con
tiiuting an adequate service, would
h. installed in th«* district and the
si.t sequent announcement by the
letroll Uity Gas company that hII
'egitinmte demands for gas would
be taken care of in the present
