Man's dominion hai never been que' IlonVd. 111a Dower, however, rests onlr -( n iiie deicrea In which ho asaertf hla n. been Moncd with auch a heritage. 1 mankind frequently mantfevita lea In telligence than lower order of animal life. vCrlmarlly we, find In all life an imtlnct for Independence In the form of a horn and we have yet to hear, even from our eateemed nature faker. wherein any form of animal Ufe except man rents or lease an abodo for temporary HvlnR quartern. Man tor age has been satisfied to tjUoll In a rented house and ay tribute to a landlord throughout his whole Ufa. Certainly If man asserts his right to dominate, one of his first Individual efforts would be to provide a permanent 4 habitation for himself and family. That this la the natural condition la evidenced wherever wo find people living a sane, simple life. Only In our cities and large communities do we find large per rentage, of peoplo living from day to day and year to year In an unsettled temporary condition. Homes In thn smaller village through out the United States are very largely owned 'by Individuals. Oradually In the I cities the name spirit of home lndapend ' enro Is being manifested, especially among the younger generation, r Of course, the tremendous growth of ' Manhattan has made It practically lm , possible for Individual home ownership . on the Island, but the rapid strides In improved transportation to suburban sections have opened now sections for nearly everybody In suburban commun ities under environment suitable to both pock.tbook and taste. I build I mr records show within the last I ten years the tremendous Increase in Indtvldual home ownership In suburban ' New York. It will increase very rapidly in the next few years, because large tracts of land are being opened for auch occupancy and rapidly absorb od when iikVStSBBBSyBSSkkw 9 In modest circumstances to start home ownerthlp. Large financial Institutions are encouraging -home building bf loan ing a large perccntago of total cost to those who want to start on the road to Independence. in my experience of the ptst ten years in building Miburbin communities 1 have seen many examples of men who bought homes In this way, and within a few years not only placed themselves In better business positions but also accumulated their homes free and clear. BETTER TRANSIT STARTS BIG CITY HOME EXPANSION. Nearly all big cities are stirred by the rapidly crowing movement of sub urban expansion. While thslr average yearly Increase of population Is S.JJ per cent, their suburban increase Is 4.S per cent. New York as a whol l advanc ing 8.87 per cent, a year, Its suburban growth reaching 6.83 per cent. Population In the entire motropolltan district !: srnwtng by 350,000 a year. The Greater City Is Increasing- by stH.VO. Improved transit Is tho main founda tion of the outward tendency. Auto mobiles as well as traction lines nre enabling families to make homes In the more attractive outljing secthns. People will not live In congested places when they can get better ittuirters with more healthful surroundings. The steady ex pansion of such transit facilities -promises to Increaro tho outward movement every year, . Country estates oro In strong demand at rising prices. They uro getting sesren within ensy reach of tho metropolitan masses. Their enhanced Investment nlue Is shown by the roadlness with which they can be traded fur gtlt-cdgo city properties. . e o Huylng of suburban homo sites In high class developments Is approaching the volumo of the 1W-1W7 boom seasons. Queens land and'Titlo Company reports that no time during the past four years have lot sales been as active at Massa peiiua as during the past two weeks. Uirge crowds have visited It each Sun day, lluyers are selecting places where active home building and street im provements are being pushed. The tile homes with Spanish roofs are In much favor. Many operators have been trying to buy large sections of the von fort landt tract this week at prlvatn salo. They bellevo that part of Ilroadwoy Is sure to see a lively building movement soon. J. Clarence Davles. who mro. sents the estate, has refused to con sider such offer-i because he wants bid ders nt next .Saturday's big auction of fering to havo u chnnco nt the beet sites. e Otto Singer sold two more of hts new Hrooklyn dm-rlllnjs this week. They are In the Kings Highway section, a half-hour from I'ark llow. Tho Fourth avenue aubway will cut the time below twenty minutes. He says there Is a heavy demand for housci which can be bought on the pay-ns-rent system, John fl. Mapes, as auctioneer.

Decoration Day crowds made Hea Itreese lltlghts on Rtatcn Island lively, it is fifty minutes from Manhattan on Harttan Uuy. W. C. Heeves Company sold thirty-two lots there, Another Wall street broker bought a new house nt Mountain Lakes, N J this wrote, The tract has been extend ed over 1,000 acres at lloontnn, It Is fifty-five minutes from Ilroadwny. 'Manager George It. Pea re says that ne gotiations for homes havo become, very numerous since the Lackawanna Hall road began work on Its big new station at the Lakes.

The particular advantages of owning one's homo are based, largely upon economy. Tho modest Investment which will create a modern home condition giving an ordinary family six or seven rooms with a nice plot of ground can be obtained In the close-In suburb for approximately 15,000. The Intorest on this money at 6 per cent, would be 1300 a year. The carrying charges, includ ing taxes, Insurance and repairs, should not exceed $130, which means that It costs a man to live In his own home under such conditions IK a month, the rental of which would be from 100 to !). Any additional amount invested beyond this sum is money saved and eventually the homo becomes free and clear and the owner Independent of the landlord. The eplrlt of Independence hy home ownership creates a higher form of citi zenship In both the bread-earner as well as his family. Thn perminerico of his. housing enables him to know his neighbors and to know thorn well enough to make permanent frJends. He has a standing in his onn community. He Is recognized as part of such a com munity and not as n single unit among millions. He takes an Interest In munici pal affairs and has a broader outlook on life generally. His children are reared under environment which creates better health, better morals, better typss ti manhood and womanhood, than can tie possible with the city street as the only playground. The man who owns his own home is looked up to not only by Ms neighbor but by hla employer. This man is more settled in his habits and Is a better worker than the one whose mental con dition is unsettled by continual moves. It Is no longer prohibitory for peoplo CLIFFORD B.
