A common mole often met with In

mole" and is a member of the shrew
family. It's snout Is slender and
elongated and the toes Of the hind feet
are webbed. The true common mole
belongs to a different genius, and, al
though its muzzle is long and pointed
and its eyes are inconspicuous, its
hind feet are long and narrow. The
normal food Of the mole is the earth
worm, though 1t will eat any kind Of
flesh that II comes upon. Contrary to
popular belief. the mole will not eat

a quintet In fux. The housing prob

The reason %hy Tia housing pfoD-

Mere Shelter Not Enough.

Mere Shelter Not Enough.
But proper housing does not moan
mere shelter. Man is a sentimental
animal. His hottest sentiment centers
about the home. Home ties mean o II
tentment If they do moi, they are not
ties for long. They mean attachment
to locality, they mean a vital interest
In the community they mean, most of
all, q sense of security which implies
the psychologists and the workman
themselves tell us-permanence, COM
fort and enthusiasm in ones surround
ings. This was the meaning of the
English cottage and garden.
The problem of housing then, is, first
of all, n for the employer.
The problem is also n for the COM
munity and particularly for those mem
bers of the community who profit most
by it's healthy, sound and consistent
growth. Chief among these members
is the banker. But merchants should
also be interested, as well as the own
ers of traction companies, and all
those who are possessed of a disinter-
ested civic pride.
SO in the cities where the individual
employer cannot meet the problem, it
Is properly one for a stock company
composed Of employers, bankers, mer-
chants, and those advocates of civic
betterments who prefer a garden sub
urb to hong rows Of poorly planned,
illbuilt, altogether mentally and finan-
cially depressing flats and shacks-
miscalled cottages.

Country Faces New Conditions.

There is, however, a larger and more
important phase Of the problem than
any thus far considered here. The
new world contract which has been
thrust upon us within the last few
years brings an obligation to create a
new, more beautiful, nor efficient,
more glorious America. The founda-
ton Of that America must be labor /;
well paid, contented labor; and only
such labor can be depended upon In
the period Of all-inclusive readjust-
ments and reconstruction which may
be thrust upon us at any time by the
end of the world wal. Proper hous-
ing, housing that, no matter who the
lahorer or what his habits, creates the
permanent home sense, will be an Inn
