THE FIRST VENTILATORS.
May 10, 174l.
By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory.


~ NE hundred and seventy years
ago today-May 16. 1741,-a
modest English clergyman. the
Rev Dr. Hales. stood UP before the
Royal Society Of London to deliver to
that learned body what was to prove
to be one of the most vitality impor-
tant bits of information ever impart-
ed to it. On that day DR.. Hales de-
scribed his new invention for the ven
tilation of houses. from which inven-
tion more good was to come TO hu
manity than had accrued from many
far more brilliant and Understanding
discoveries.
The blood is the life and the air is
the blood. Bad air makes bad blood,
good air. cool blood; and it is as GER
tain as any axiom in Euclid that
health of body. activity of thought,
and. to q large extent, moral robust
ness. depend on whether the blood is
or is not good or bad.
When we read of the way our re-
mote ancestors lived. their dwellings
always full Of poison laden air. which
they lived in through the day and slept
in through the night, the wonder with
US is why II was that they did not all
die Off We know that in an unven-
tilated room in which human beings
live the carbonic acid gas exhaled
from the. lungs and the hostile micro
organisms combine to vitiate and de-
stroy the health of the body and mind;
and what some dwellings are today
nearly all were in the olden time be-
fore ventilation was thought OF.
No wonder they had bad dreams.
had visions of hobgoblins and devils.
and were perpetuallv harassed by all
sorts of evil forebodings and pesti
lerces, cholera smallpox. bubonic
plaques black deaths and a whole lot
Of other things that are now practical
~ eliminated from the area Of civifi-
zation.
Stop and ask yourself the question,
Why did the human body and mind
find their earliest and most perfect
development In little Greece? The an
swer and the only answer. is pure air;
which meant pure blood, health, intel
lectual vigor in a word. Civilization
The great Greek thinkers, who created
art, science, philosophy. the drama,
history, eloquence. medicine; in fact
about everything that means true So
cial progress, passed the major part or
their time outdoors. They were In the
house for only part Of the night, and
those houses were supplied with plen-
nv of fresh air by the very method Of
their construction.
Outside of Athens, and, TO limited
extent, in Rome, the houses in which
men lived were veritable Black Holes
OF Calcutta. their air filled with sick
ness and death
When, therefore, the English parson
got up to tell the Royal society OF his
invention of a method for the ventlla-
ton of houses. he was engaged IN
work of philanthropy the magnitude
of which can hardly be reckoned. he
NAV not have considered q mart OF Ills
work as a divine" but 1t is safe TO
say that in all-around Importance not
only in the physical but in the moral
and spiritual sense his description OF
his venitlator was the best sermon he
ever delivered

. HE pension question is looming
up large. both in this country

|" HE pension question is looming
up large, both in this country
and in England The socia1istic
tendencies are asserting themselves,
and the disposition is a growing one
to let society take care of people, in
stead of requiring them to take exclu-
sive care of themselves. A part Of
this is Christianity, and a part OF it is
politics.
When the early Christians at Jeru-
salem adopted the principle not only
of socialism. but even OF communism,
there was no politics in it-but the
pure Christ impulse, simple and undi-
luted- Perhaps it was due to its COM
munism that it continued for time to
be a poor church. but even so its pow
erty was due TO mutual affection and
generosity, however mistaken in its
was of exercising itself
The sociaIistic pension idea as it is
now diffusing Itself has in it likewise
a considerable amount of commendable
impulse 1t is in part an attempt to
render their dues to some who have
not hitherto received all their dues.
and to even up in inequalities.
What we are doing for our old SOL
diers is, up to a certain point, the pay
ment of debt and the expression Of
our sense of obligation to them for
having preserved our country united
and intact, and for having secured to
us the maintenance of our cherished
institutions. Some of it. however, is
politics. and is in the nature Of black
mail offered for the purchase OF votes
The Masses Have Ceased to Be Neg
hgIble Quantity In England.
What Mr. Lloyd-Geerge is accom-
plishing in England by his insurance
program is very much in the same or
der as the granting OF pensions. only
made available before the working
mans laboring days are over, since it
is made applicable in cases of sickness
and non employment It's advantages,
he promises. are to be so widely ex-
tended as TO include even domestic SER
wants His bill is undoubtedly framed
in part with a view to political results.
The masses, which at one time did
not make a large figure in the politi-
cal life of England, have ceased to be
a negligible quantity. Both parties
now stand in dire need of the support
of the laboring classes, and it is for
that reason that this motion which
is brought forward by liberal gov
eminent is not anita gonized by the
conservatives Even the nobility covet
the voting sympathy of the common
atty.
Realizing that exceedingly often the
poor are poorer that 1t is just that
they should be, and that equally often
the rich have more money than fairly
belongs TO. them, we certainly cannot
regret the adoption by government
of a policy-however smattering Of So

Customer With Ordinary Means Helps
Pay Bill of Tardy Millionaire.
Colonel Green, the son of an affIuent
mother. complains that of all his ten
ants the one who is slowest in paying
his rent IS a ulti-milliOnaire. The
case is not an exceptional one. as any
one can learn by consulting his own
grocer or butcher. Dealers do not like
to lose their wealthy customers. Such
customers. quite frequently. take ad-
vantage OF that fact and let their ac-
counts run. while patrons with less
means are Obliged TO pay promptly or
open and account elsewhere
The result Of it Is that the man with
the larger money is able to save the
interest on his bill, which means that
the dealer is out to that extent. and
to compensate for losses so accruing
"a price is PUT upon his goods suffi-
cient to cover poor payers and nom
payers. The consequence Of all which
is that customers with ordinary means
who pay promptly not only pay for
their own groceries, meat and fish, but
also help the tardy millionaire TO pay
for his. That is only one OF many ways
in which the dollar wins out as
against the dime-Cepyrigh 1911.
