The arrival of two thousand pounds
of grapefruit from Florida by air
plane brings to mind the runners of
the Incas and the fresh fish that they
conveyed from the sea 10 the palaces
on Andean SUBMITS. Measured by the
effort 1t required the fish was the
greater luxury of the two, though by
the criterion of distance or speed the
grapefruit has it. So long as material
progress continues, the luxuries Of the
day foretell the comforts Of the NOR
row, says New York Sun. The other
day a party Of rich men flew TO the
end of Long Island, in order TO save
q few minutes for golf. 1t would have
been equally good spenders. twenty
years ago to keep an automobile for
running out TO the golf links. For the
present the luxurious use of the air
plane deserves encouragement. In
this case rs in others, luxury serves
as the scout for common use.

An interesting experiment in neigh-
borliness has been carried On for
nearly year in part of Toledo
which is populated almost exclusively
by Polish immigrants and their de
scendants. The Polish Business Mems
club of the district conceived the idea
that the needy Polish families in the
community should be taken care OF
in a neighborly way, rather than by
charity ORGANIZATIONS. The latter
were fcquestod not to extend aid in
the district, but TO notify the club, sc
that it might meet all emergencies
This is not done from the club treas
ury, however. An investigation Is
made TO determine whether the need
is for money, supplies or work, ant

Guiding the tradesmen, are then in
formed that their neighbors need theil
assistance, which, the club reports, is
always forthcoming.
