The trend of modern life is further
to increase the margin Of leisure. The
working day has been shortened IN
many cases from IL to 8 hours. and In
not a few to eight. The time for In

solved when the world has learned
how to get a livelihood out OF less
hours Of the day and less days OF the

its possibilities for improvement OK In
