Rapid Changes In Transport And Social Ease
Forty years ago one of the old fashioned steel wire spring wagons was a luxury. In a funeral procession a mile long you would see perhaps two or three of them. Today top buggies with rubber tires are common and the upper ten ride in automobiles. If a letter takes a day to travel a distance there is a kick coming. Ten dollars buys less than it did for our grandfathers. We spend more for suspenders and socks than grandfather did for his Sunday clothes.

Swallows Lose Nesting Sites As Homes Grow Narrow
The piece notes that bird life depends on nesting sites and that swallow habitat shrinks as chimneys give way to straight flues. It laments that houses and farm buildings become less suitable for swallow guests while sparrows seize scarce sites. The swallow is described as small and nonconfrontational.
