For this there are two remedles-in-
crease the supply of food or decrease
the number of people.
To increase the supply of food is not

For the present scarcity Of food and
possible famine there are several rea =

land side by four railroads is suddenly
from the land side blockaded. and TO
the original population are added rel

Supporters Of Carranza and villa

have no excuse TO offer, however, for
the refusal Of Carranza 10 be par-y

Gratifed with the success which thus
far has attended their efforts. the
mediators will proceed without further

SENTIMENT STILL RULES US
Thought and Science Kept Much In
Background, Notwithstanding All
Our Pretending.

Notwithstanding all our pretending
that we are of an age which lives and
thinks scientifically, We are still, for
the most part, net creatures of thought
but creatures of sentiment With most
of us, for instance, the relationship of
the sexes is still n matter to be, re
garded sentimentally. We still ignore
as much as possible the physical and
social facts back of that relationship.
We still, too, for the most part, have
sentimental political affiliations. with
glorious ideals, but little conception
of the facts which con niItion their real
iZation, with much OF unreasoning
loyalty to parties or persons. We still
are apt to have and desire a senti-
mental sort of education for our chill
dren, on a cultural basis which ig-
noreSat once the necessity of knowl-
edge of the facts OF real life and the
vulgar necessity of our children's
earning living. We still speak, with
pathetic dignity, in terms of senti-
mental economics based on lie as a
sentimentalist would have 1t rather
than on life as 1t is. We still enjoy
sentimental literature. We still pat
ronize sentimental drama.-Bernard l.

Storing up Heat.

An inventor in Stockholm, Sweden,
has devised an apparatus, for storing
heat. 1t consists of a mass Of heat
absorbing material, in which is placed
a coil of resistance wire. Surrounding
the heat-storing material is heat-insu-
lating material, while at the top is a
damper which may be operated to
permit the heat stored in the maga-
zine to radiate out of the top. The
entire apparatus is inclosed in heat
radiating cover.
To facilitate the radiation of heat
there is system of air \passages
through the heat-storing materials.
The apparatus is adapted to be used
during off-peak periods. storing heat
which may be used as needed
An experimental apparatus about q
yard high. 25 inches long and Is
inches wide showed a storing capacity
of about $4,000 kilogramme calories,
while a temperature in the storing
magazine OF about 600 degrees C. or
about LOO degrees F. was obtained.
