As nearly as can be estimated, the population of the world reached 850 mil- lion in 1800 and in the century between that and 1900 it practically doubled. It is now about 1,750 million.

His discovery was as revolutionary as that of medieval surgeons who found that a man had as many ribs as a woman.

When, if ‘ever, will famine become general, instead of occa- sional and local as in the past and pres- ent? So far, there is ample food in the world, if it could be distributed where it is needed. But right now hundreds of thou- sands in the Near East, in Russia, in India, in China and in many other parts of the world are dying from lack of food. In the past hundred years vast new areas of fertile land have been opened to cultivation, but famine still exists, partly through congestion of populations and partly through lack of transportation. While this problem may not seriously affect America for several generations, at the present rate of increase in population it will only be a question of time until the food situation will be a grave one for the entire world, unless improved chemical means for sustaining life can be practically developed. Probably the civic clubs of the dis- tant future will be trying to get rid_of peo- ple, instead of boosting for bigger towns. BILLION DOLLARS—MILLION JOBS (Enterprise, Berea, Ohio) it is estimated that there is in this country $1,000,000,000 of idle capital which would nor- mally be used in the mortgage market dential building. Tf, as is hoped, present efforts loosen these funds and bring building back near normal, close ‘6 a miljion men will find good jobs. They will have regular incomes, after years in which most 0f them have been finding the going extremely hard. They will have money to spend for neces- sities aud luxuries—and that money will ge through a thousand and one ‘imdustries, buying for resi- aud interest, creating more jobs and building up Payrolis for all types of workers. That is what construction revival will do for the country generally. In its individual tion, so far as the property owner is concerned, it will likewise do this—boom building costs. They have been rising slowly but steadily since the low _] veaehed last summer. They are still far below nor- mal. As a matter of fact, costs of most materials used in building have lagged behind the general commodity price advance. That means that the millions of citizens who have money with which to starts, can still get a whole ict more than a dollar's Worth for every dollar spent.
