The Smallest House in London

How small can house be and still remain a
house? If it is in closely built town, it must have
street number, and it must be independent of its
neighbors mere camp or playhouse does not
count Do any of our readers know of smaller
house in an American city than the thatTit-B Bits
says is the smallest IN London?
II is No. 10 Hyde Park Place. one of of
houses on the Bayswater side overlooking the park,
built over passage six feet wide. between Nos. 9
and H. Although it has a street door, guarded by
an iron gate, there is only one room in the house.
This architectural oddity was built about fifty
years ago by old lady named Jupp who lived at
No. 9. for occupation by one of her servants. She
had number placed on the street door. and SO en-
dowed it with separate existence house.

What Memorial for Our Soldiers?

What is to be our form of memorial for the
the kind of lives we lead. They have given the
flower of their life. looking to for the fulment
which will never come unless embody it.
1t seems that the best thing we can do in the
way OF visible symbol of our conservation will be
something that shall exp press the ideal of human
through which strove to honor the soldiers of
last great war better than nothing unsuccessful
most of them are from an artistic point of view
monuments to the unknown god of beauty as well as
to the spirit of the men who gave their lives for
freedom-but can not we find something more ap-
propriate?
Would not community building of some kind.
which should serve center of community service
and expression. be fitting memorial of the soldiers
in this present war? 1t is a war for democracy and,
the American City Magazine has said, "democra-
cy should have home."
The building in a small town might be the town
hall itself or an adjunct to it, Of course not
all suddenly build town halls. but could, when
the occasion comes for rebuilding through sup
plementing what we already have, provide place
in each smaller community, and several places in the
larger ones, where people come together for all
sorts of public purposes community songs, dances,
concerts. lectures, public service by groups of citi
'zens such as we have seen in working for the Red
Cross In large cities like our own these buildings
might be the larger of the new schoolhouses in each

What Shall the Future Chemist Be?

OF course, men will call themselves whatever
they please. We cannot legislate titles. But it
seems to me of vital Importance that only those
students of to-day should become chemists who are
properly equipped TO meet the great responsibilities
which are there to encounter 1t is the coming pro-
fession 1t determine for in the future what
shall eat and drink and wherewirhal we shall be
clothed. Whether grow industrial nation
sink into decreptude is in large measure depend
ent upon our chemists. If we grow, it will be be-
they men of vision, of childlike curiosity
and unspoiled fancy; men of taste, of discrimination
who familiar with human reactions and with the
graces of life. They will be men whose long. range
view is gloritied by imagination.
They will carry the subtle art of the teacher into
the work and lead the men and women engaged
there into the paths of understanding and delight
Then work in the factory will to be drudgery
and good housing conditions and fair wages will
cease to be the maximum of merit demanded of en-
ployers-when this enlightenment prevails.
There is one great quality that was enjoyed in
medieval days that is lost to u.s. 1t was that which
made their cathedrals beautiful their fabrics so
rch and their every product enduring and strong
Men sang at their work because they found joy in it.
Now we have different problems, but in the yery
measure that and women who constitute
parts of great industrial organizations do not find
