Brigham, counsel for the United States Housing Corporation during the war, says (the italics are promised to make him immortal, but all in vain. In spite of all her blan- dishments he yearned for bis wite and sought every possible means of returning to her.* Finally Aurora dismissed him, saying in her dis- pleasure, “Go, ungtateful mortal; keep thy wife. But one day thou shalt regret it bitterly.” So Cephalus returned to his home and was once more happy with his wife. Time passed and it seemed that Aurora had forgotten her vows of vengeancé, But she was only biding her time. First she rcaused him to lose his dog by making it chase the swiftest fox in the country, knowing the latter all to’ be, as well as the dog, the work of some of the immortals. The gods, rejoicing in the speed of both, and unwilling that either should conquer, turned both dog and fox into stone, von, howeyer, the goddess saw aa opportunity for ‘her revenge, Ceph- alus who was fond of hunting would often so tire himself during th: chase that he would be forced to res When thus weary, he would make his way to a shady nook of which he was especially fond, and there stretch himself upon the ground to enjoy the cooling breeze. When settled it was his habit to call out loud: “Come, gentle Aura (the god- cess of the breeze), com nd allay this heat that burns me! Aurora overheard this once and re- solved to make use of this habit. She caused Cephalus to be overheard by @ Mas Presidents of railroads are subject to its fend of Procria who. believed it was some maiden whom the hunter ; thus addressed. At first the latter could not believe that her beloved husband was false to her, Rut when the story was repeated ocuin and yet again, she decided to iwestigate for herself, One morning, therefore, ahe set dut and made her way to the spot where she had been told her husband met the maiden, Aura, and, hiding her- self, awaited the arrival of Cephalus, The latter, tired of his sport, came at last. and, stretching himself on the green bank, summoned, as was his wont, the fair Aura, ‘Suddenly he heard nearby a strange sound, as of a sob, Supposing it to proceed from some wild animal, he threw the jave- lin in that direction.

Witha last effort she opened her eyes and, “The real solution of the problem of reliev- img the housing shortage is to give free play again to the old law of supply and demand. This will mean readjusting family budgets, accepting the increased cost of housing, and planning one’s expenses accordingly, possibly eliminating to some extent the additional lux- uries one has been buying with one’s increased earnings, and letting rent take its old percent age of one’s income.” Many tenants hereabout will be struck dumb with amazement to hear that their rents have fallen below the old percentage of their incomes! When they recover enough to get out their lead pencils and do a little figuring, how many of ‘them will find they have been paying for rent the one- sixth or maximum one-fifth of income assigned by the economic experts? No doubt Mr. Brigham thinks families have rented rooms to strangers or crowded, two and three house- holds together, into smaller tenements in order to buy “additional luxuries” from their swollen bank accounts. Mr. Brigham’ says further: “The public can stimulate and hasten new If the Legislature decides to investigate the City Government there may be some question es to what sort of an investigation shall be But one thing is gertaim, The city and the State will pay the bill, That is the “We can reduce the abnormal expenditures and we will.

If this republic had looked upon Woodrow Wilson as a to-be immortal, it wouldn't have turned him down as flat as a flounder, American Citi- zen seems to stand in a lonely place, while Lodge, Borah, Johnson et al. are in the swim and handing things out to suit themselves—eating the plums of the pie. Anybody on earth who ventures to mention Woodrow Wilson in the same breath with those who deserve immortal emi- nences has about as much conception of what constitutes greatness as a chimpanzee. The World is distinctly Woodrow Wilson and grabs at any “outbusts” in his favor and sticks it in print because of the rarity of any opinion that favors that retiring egotist. LD March 3, 1921.

Overtime is often helpful, but it isn’t necessary, and too much of it is often hurtful. But full time'is necegsary to insure profit. Work eight hours at least every day if you expect to get a reputation for steady output and good quality, And without such a reputation no factory can ever prosper. Work half time and you do exactly as does the other kind of a factory in a slack time period, You keep your fac- ulties on the job but not working hard enough to improve in their several crafts. You get enough out of it to pay for your board and clothes but not enough to prove to yourself that you amount to something. And a money return is always at least one measure of success, though not always the only one. Get all the qualities and faculties that you employ in your factory down early and keep them there till the estab- lished quitting time. Work them hard and steadily, without too much time off for lunch, or too much opportunity to think of other things besides the business at hand. But the important thing is full time. It is your factory, and you are concerned in its profits. If you don’t insist on full time nobody else will. But if you want it to make money and to turn out a good, reliable product, you will shut down’ just as infrequently as possible. dulled faculties confine to a small and iced le.

Old pictures of New York show it as standing out over its fellows, to be seen from North and Bast Rivers. Now its four stories and its dome are overshadow- ed by the skyscrapers that almost surround it, Looking at it, one is struck by the fact that the four stories appear higher than slam in it, its secondary importance in New York to-day is due to the city's growth.
