1t will be unnecessary for her
and her descendants to work, which
is a pity. Few, as DR.. johnson said,
work we'll except for pay. The
exceptions prove the rule.
II Caruso could have left to
his daughter the vocal cords that
produced sound, the brain for
nation that creates feeling, he
would have left a greater for
tune than any number of lire or
dollars-and he would have left
her the happiness Of work, while
that is never left with money.
Some day, when our brains
shall have inherited qualities and
powers and intensified them
through a few million years,
fathers and mothers will leave to
children mind and emotion-that
will be inheriting real wealth.
Think of Shakespeare's wife and
daughters, hardly able to read,
and very probably selling as
waste paper any unpublished
work that he may have left.
You learn from DR.. Ritter, of
California, that 81 per cent of
the earth's inhabitants are
crowded into one-quarter Of the
land and 46 per cent Of the pop
ulation have the rest of the
earth.
The crowded sections are
Asiatic. and there is our big
problem. When crowded beyond
endurance, human beings spread
out in some way.

RENT QUESTION DOWNED

Hopes of shattering Prices in Shang-

 ed When Power to Act is Dashed.
 Shanghai, Oct. 26.-Hopes Of effect ing any reduction of inordinately high rents in Shanghai through legislative action have been dashed by an an- nouncement of the, municipal council holding that the council has no power to act on the question. This announce ment was made in response to various proposals that have been made in re- cent months urging compulsory 1imita- tion of rental charges.
 "It would appear" says the an- nouncement, that the remedy, soon CT or later lies in the operation of the law of supply and demand, since ii rentals are so high as to make build ing operations unduly profitable, the building of more houses will be speed fly induced until the supply is equa. to or overtakes the demand"

 - Flowers which will thrive in air warmed by hot water radi- ators will wilt in the heat from a hot-air furnace or stove.
 Warm, moist air builds health; hot, dry air undermines it.

 The American Radiator Com pany considered them when conducting. the scientific experi- ments that produced ARcoLA.
 You simply must see ARCOLA. It is new and different. Built by the Company whose larger heat ing plants warm mansions, cathe- drals and ,even the White House itself, it is guaranteed to be the most perfect hot-water heating outfit for small homes and stores which science has produced.
