Human Life's Worth.

For their working millions the gov
ernments are caring as never before.
Their health and their lives are the
objects of solicitude. The value Of a
human being, simply from the stand
point Of productivity, is realized. The
well-learned lesson, that it pays to con-
serve human life and energy, will be re-
membered and Will undoubtedly, some
day, when this war is over, result in
making the world better place TO
live in.
Mems brains have been busy these
three years of war But, If we take
Thomas A. EdisOn's word for ii, the
results in new inventions have been
surprisingly small. And still smaller
have these results been from the point
of view of human benefit. Most of
the new devices are means TO STAY and
main.
In two directions, however the
world has progressed in ways to be
utilized in peace time. The conquest
Of the air has gone forward rapidly;
airplanes fly vast distances at enOr-
nous speeds in comparative safety.
Second, In the enormous, melancholy
war hospitals, the surgeons have de-
veloped new marvels in saving the
badly wounded, molding new faces on
