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

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. Is soil

'Manager George It. Pea re says that ne

complete city Improvement ars In
stalled. 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
