senator from New Jersey, has returned
from Europe with certain definite i'm.
pressions Of the people Of various
countries and their war reconstruction
problems.

war;" said the senator, "the average
American visitor to Europe returned
with his mind filled with the past.
Now such a traveller comes home with
his thoughts turned to the future. the
future Of Europe, Of America, and the
whole world. he realizes that now
Americas splendid isolation is at an
end; that the future Of Europe will
affect the future Of the United States,
and the future Of the United States
involves the future Of all civilization.

may feel that measure Of idealism

Kelly Would Build Us Homes

Representative NJ. Clyde Kelly Of
Pennsylvania, has brought forward a
novel suggestion In connection with
the housing situation. In brief. he pro-
poses to convert the postal savings
bank system into a national building
and loan association, from which the
people may borrow the money required
to build homes. Mr.. Kelly proposes
that the $175, 10000 now on deposit
in the postal savings banks be made
available for building purposes at rea-
sonable interest rates. He asserts
that II congress will amend the pres
ent law, so that the $500 limit on de-
posits is eliminated or greatly en-.
larged, and the rate Of interest paid
on deposits by the government Is In
creased from 2 per cent to the rate
paid by savings banks, the postal saw
ings deposits will be increased prob
ably to $4,000. .0000 900, all Of which
can be used for home building.

She had opened her life to him. So he
told her Of that last evening with

Statue Of Liberty at New York Is Not

Of Designer.

The statue of Liberty. in New York
harbor, is electrically illuminated
that is, so flooded with light as to be
rendered brightly visible at night.
Originally. however, the idea was
to make it serve as Il beacon. and for
this purpose the flame" of the lady's
torch was cut at the sides. the Open
ings fitted with glass, and nine duplex
arc lamps placed inside.
Thus was obtained a light which.
upheld at q height of 305 feet above
the water, was visible "a miles out
Mt sea, or ten miles beyond the anchor
age Of the outside lightship. Its main
tenance was assigned to the govern
ment lighthouse board.
But the lighthouse board declared
that it had little or no usefulness as
an aid to navigation, its value being
purely sentimental. and in 1902 the
light was e%xtinguiShed, the business
of Illuminating the statue being hand
ed over to the war department.
