SHOULD COPY NATURES WAY
Human Planners Of Reform Would Do
Well to Make Note Of Her
Methods.

The divergence between mans ways
and natures ways becomes empha-
sized as we reflect on the mass Of re-
forms and isms which are eagerly
urged for the education and the NOR
al and physical welfare of our youth,

group wants trade training, one group

of the now dominant races and replac.

and less easily nodded by our pres
ent social ideals
The discouraging thing about all
this is that very few of these enthusi-
asts realize that they all have hold OF
corners Of the same problem, and
there is no sign of cooperation, CO..
ordination or conference among them.
That is the reverse Of natures way,
She is synthetic, while the most that
altruistic human planners seem able
to do is to separate processes which
nature has grouped, analyze them and,
when any growth proves sickly or too
lush, to treat its particular symptoms
without tracing the root OF the disease

my life on it that Gracia would never

Phil, maybe we can win out yet. I'm
going up to find the comisario."
A brief interview with that smiling
individual and the case of Phil De
Lancey was laid bare. He had been
engaged in desperate rivalry with
Manuel del Rey for the hand of Ora
cia Aragon, and his present incarcera-
ton was not oOly for singing rag-time
beneath the Aragon windows, but for
trying to whip the captain of the ru-
rales when the latter tried to place
him under arrest.
And De Lancey was the prisoner not
of the comisario, but of the captain of
the rurales. Sore at heart, Bud rode
up through the Mexican quarters to
the Quartet Of the rurales, but the cap
tain was memorable.

You can't keep him shut up without

At this the captain Of the rurales
lifted his eyebrows and one closely

more and blinking, and while Hooker

have found relief from many chronic
ailments by changing from coffee to
Postum as a daily beverage, is grow

It is only simple question Of try

the joy Of returning health as realized
by an Ills. young lady. She writes:

horse and galloped swiftly to camp.
The horses of the men he sought
stood at the edge of the mine-dump,
and, throwing his bridle-rein down be-
side them, Bud leaped OF and ran up
the cut Then he stopped short and
reached for his six-shooter. The two
men were up at the end, down on their
Knees, and digging like dogs after a
rabbit.
So eager were they in their search
so confident In their fancied security,
chat they never looked up from their
work, and the tramp Of Hooker's boots
was drowned by their grubbing until
he stood above them. There he
paused, his pistol in hand, and waited

 An actual count of homes and busi- ness. places has been made and a number of Interesting facts deterrnfn- ed, all of which have been placed at the disposal Of the city planning com mission. - ss
 It appears. for instance that 27,44i families now live in Bridreport If whom 5, 1sa families live in homes ta which they hold tine and the balance in rented homes :
 This exhaustive study, coverfne. sev- eral months of outside and inside work, was completed under the direc- tion of Clarence Cogsweul Of t5a American Telephone ana TelekraT,, company, an expert on this work who has made similar studies m a number Of other cities in the country Fl " Schread. Of this city, acted as MT. Cogswell's assistant.
 The object Of this work has been to obtain the most accurate fnforrna tioI 1t is possible to gather regarding the probable population and telephone re- quirements of the Brfdgeport exchange in 1880, in order that the Telephone company'ss engineering force may have reliable data on wfacn to base their facility plans for this territory up to the year 1930. This plant will be iT- stalled at intervals within the next few years, thus providing the local exchange with facilities that are not expected to be exhausted for fifteen years. Economy in installation is, of course, the reason for this.
 The compilation Of this data en- tailed an actual count Of every resi- dence, place of business and family in the territory. Bridgeport business men, experts in their branches of work, have also been consulted as to the probable extent and direction of the growth Of the city. This work on the house count, as 1t is called. occ,- pied the time Of eight men for six weeks.
 From this date the Telephone com panyas experts have arrived at a number of conc1usions that are of great interest to all Brfdgeporters It is, for instance estimated that the population, Of. that portion of the Bridgeport exchange included. in 1880 will be 21500O people Of which 191, ,025 will be living in the crty of Bridge port. This last figure represents an Increase Of 5S, 971 over the census fig ures for the city taken in 1910 and an increase of 72.145 over the present population which is estim mated at 11S,- 3s0 A similar study made of New Haven shows an estimate Of 196. 900 for that city in 195o, which will give an idea of the tremendous population in crease telephone experts expect in Brfde eeport as compared with the City of Films.
 The house count rurther brings out the fact that there are, at the present time, 27.441 families in the exchange territory. It is estimated that this number will be increased to B. 390 by 1920, with 45,o7o as the Isao figure, an
