Attention of Englishmen s again called to the fact that the birth rate has fallen to the lowest flgures on record and that at the same time the Infant mortality rate ix going up. A man shortage greater than any Eng- land has known in its history is threaten- ing the country, says the London Times' maedical correspondent, who proceeds to compare the conditions here with those in Germany, where, he adds, "“owing to the far-sightedneas of the Germans the population jumped from 42000000 (n 1875 to 60,000,000 in 1005." “The world at this hour is having an son In the meaning of hirth oa,'' continues the correapondent “The Germans swelled their total popu Iation not only by birtha, but also by the prevention of Infant death, which {s one of the greatest worka standing to the eradit of a sclentific people.

W. Ayer of Philadelphia. He will probably ask that the fund be cap- {talized to begin with at $1,000,000, per- haps more. It depends upon the actu- arial studies which he is now having made. Thia retirement fund will paral- lel that provided by many of the denomi. natlons for clergymen, by the Carnegle fund for professors in colleges, and such rotirement funds as the Pennsylvania rallroad, as well as government services.

Bvery Prospective Buildér should first fix on a good general ides of his requirements; then he will have to be sure that his Architectural Service is right; and finally he will have to be sure that his Con- tractor is capable and financially responsible. Architects and Engineers with little or no experience have been known to specify four times the weight of steel actually required, ‘‘simply to be on the safe side,” and this is only one eumple' of many possible ways of wasting material, due to the lack of knowledge concerning Technical Building It stands to reason, therefore, that the Architect and Buflding Engineer should be ve ; chosen if the prospective builder wants to protect himself against uneconomical Architectural Design. PFinancial standing and experience-record should be the principal elements governing the selection of the Building Contractor, if the prospective Building Owner expects to protect himself against unsei- entific buying, unnecessary delay and mistakes. This Company's Modern Building Organization was built up for the gpecifio purpose of cutting down the excessive costs of Building Construction as handled under the older-day In our Architectural Department are men whose training and experience place them in a position to devise plans for our customers that are based on definite knowledge, not guess-work.
