A discussion on crime shifts from race track gambling to theft driven by desire for cars and luxuries. The piece notes embezzlers often hide behind inflated income, suburbs spur “keep up with the Joneses” spending, and wives rarely know their husbands’ dishonesty. It calls for church involvement and harsher court sentences as deterrents.
The piece argues Mexico's wealth rests in agriculture, noting 90 day banana yields 100 pounds daily and 365 crops yearly. It cites limited mining and rising oil fields, improves rural education with 3,000 schools in two years, and highlights progress in female rights and workers' protections alongside calls for travel and mutual understanding.
The Lincoln highway from New York to San Francisco saw over 9.0 million dollars spent in 1925 by eleven states with federal aid. Maintenance totaled 1.718 million, and 7.437 million funded 343.6 miles of added improvements. By year end, coast to coast progress hit 90 percent, with less than 100 miles remaining unimproved as of 1926 projections.
The piece laments unpatriotic behavior among the aging wealthy and socially prominent, calling it a public concern and predicting future discussion on parental responsibility during school vacations. It cites Dr Edward M East and Ralph W Sanborn on meat trends and transit policy, noting Congress may act on public carriers.
