CEMETERY OF THE FUTURE
Government Scientist Draws Pleasing
Picture Of Resting Places Of
Loved Ones Gone Before.

Cemeteries are not cheerful places.
Burial lots are cared for during two
or three generations and then too
commonly are neglected. Weeds cover
the graves anA fallen tombstones are
allowed to lie. The long are for
gotten.
DR.. David Fairchild, distinguished
government scientist, urges a new de-
parture. He thinks that cemeteries
should be made attractive and that
the principal feature of great city
building somewhat resembling a H.
brary, with alcoves and quiet hooks.
Instead of book-stacks it would have
fireproof vaults containing personal
records of members of the families
whose lost ones are buried under fiat
stones amid the charming surround
fngs of vast garden. These records
would include all kinds of data relat-
ing to the dead-accounts of their
most noteworthy doings, photographs.
etc.
Cannot you imagine" says DR..
Fairchild, "strolling into the hall of
the dead, to find there, in their proper
place, all Of the personal records Of
your family for generations back7
There are the photographs Of your
grandparents. of departed uncles and
aunts, or little ones who did not live
to grow up, all with stories Of their
lives attached and letters and anec-
dotes.
with these might be preserved
Photographic records of the voices of
the dead. so that they could be heard
to talk; and rooms might be fitted up
for privately viewing moving pictures
Of the departed, who would thusly be
made to come alive again."
The dead could thus be made, In q
sense. to live on indefinitely. Between
the living generation and the past
would be established 4 definite and
permanent tie.

How much time and thought do you
put on your children's lunch basket?
Children have such appetites that
they will eat anything" is n remark
often heard. They may have good ap-
petites now, but II school children are
allowed to eat the wrong things, the
time may come when they can't eat
the right things.
Growing children have certain spe-
cial needs in the way of food. Like
grown people, they must be supplied
with that which is necessary for
health and strength. but, unlike them.
they should be given also that which
Is necessary for development.
Even one hot dish obtainable at
school at noon makes the lunch more
appetizing and many schools are now
providing 1t. When child must carry
lunch and can not obtain at school
hot dish. the task of filling the box or
basket demands great care to make
sure that 1t is appetizing, nourishing.
and sustaining.
One Of the best investments to make
for child who carries his lunch to
school that does not serve hot lunch
is bottle which will keep liquids hot
or cold for some time. Cocoa. or soup
piping hot on cold day. will make
feast out of an otherwise uninterest-
ing lunch.
Five Groups Of Food Needed.
In general, the school lunch, like the
child's diet as whole. should contain
representatives of the five food groups.
In 1t should be found foods RICH in
protein. such as milk, cheese, meats,
fish, dried beans, peas. peanuts, and
other nuts; cereal or starchy foods.
such as bread, cereal mushes rice and
tapioca; fatty foods, such as butter,
cream. salad oils and bacon; vegeta-
bles and fruits, but such as cereals

is dictionary authority for "miIch" as
an adjective, but little popular and con-
temporary authority. 1t is a f~avorite

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER %, 1920,
MORE NGRESSMEN

The house Of representatives has done
the expected thing in planning to in
crease its membership on the new census
basis. It is said that every decennial
congress has done this from the begin
ning. The result has been a steady
increase in the number of representatives
until the house membership, in the opin-
ion of many critics, has become an in
effective crowd.
There is no question that a smaller
membership would function more eff
GENTLY. The senate in recent years has
usually done better work than the house.
largely because there are fewer sena-
tors, and they are thus able to handle
the same sort of business more simply
and directly. 1t has been the experience
Of dozens Of American cities that their
local affairs are better cared for by a
small group of counciImen or commits
sioners than by the large councils of
core. Business organizations have
learned the superiority of small boards
Of directors over large ones.
The house might have done worse. BY
taking full advantage of the census in
crease, and keeping the present unit of
representation, it might have added
enough new members to raise the total
from 435 10 more than 500. BY raising
the un.t If representation from 211.OOO
to 2!"0@3 people per congressman. it
increases the membership only to 4S3.
That. however, is more than enough.
1t is easy to sympathize with the mo-
tivcs Of the present members. They
could not have kept the membership to
its present level without cutting down
the representation in states which have
lost slightly in population, among which
IS Vermont, and refusing a liberal in
crease of members to states that have
had a big growth. Naturally they do
want to incur the unpopularity of
a move. But it is unfortunate.
none the less.
And it is not really necessary.
Strictcr limitation of membership would
impose no real injustice, and any fam
lied injustice would soon be forgotten.
