LIFE LESS WORTH LIVING.

According TO Dean Inge. life Is less
worth living every year According TO
tho figures which the Registrar General
has just published tho population OF
the United Kingdom lives longer every
year--a singular paradox Again, ac-
cordlng 10 tho dean. we are breeding
from our worst stocks: according 10
the Registrar General. the infant NOR
tality rate has fallen almost every year
since 1871. And here Is concealed
another paradox. in that IL is evident
that the more degenerate the stock the
longer Is ii capable OF living
II must at once be admitted. however.
that the dean is not the only philosopher
whose theories require revision In the
cold light Of fact. A considerable mum
ber OF sociologists have maintained that
the rural districts produce population
which the towns consume: moro par
ticulariy London is supposed 10 play
tho vampire on the provinces and 70
be Incapable Of reproducing itself. The
figures for the last half-century support
no such belief IN urban sterility. The
birth-rate for England and Wales per
1000 In 1920 was 25.4. The hirth-rate
for London was 26.3 for London and
the ninety six great towns 26.2 and for
the las smaller towns 24.9. IL is evident
therefore. that London Is slightly moro
fertile than the remaining towns and
the country distrlcts.-London Outlook.

Something to
Think Ab0ut
CONTENT; DISCONTENT
By +. II. WALKER

THE toad beneath the harrow knows
Exactly where each tooth point goes:
The butterfly upon the road
breaches contentment to that toad"
MOT all of Kipling's best poetry is
~ printed in large type. Some of 1t
appears in the smaller characters
when it precedes verses which the au-
thor thought were more important.
That is the case with the lines print
ed above which in the bound volume
serve as an Introduction to "Pagett,
n. F."
But one need not be butterfly to
preach contentment. There is many
man and woman living far from Il
butterfly life that preach contentment
in the most forcible and convincing
way, which is by example.
Discomfort is very contradictory In
its results. 1t has been responsible
for innumerable failures. 1t has been
the most forcible factor in the great
est Of the worlds revolutions and ref
OrmatiOns.
Get man or nation thoroughly
discontented with surroundings. with
dNS, WIFI uuu (liciS lS
bound to he change.
Discomfort has played consider
able fcctor in the history Of America.
1t was discomfort, dissatisfaction
means the same thing. with the means
of communication With the rest of the
world that led Columbus 20 sail out
into the mysteries of the Western
oceans.
1t was discomfort with the religious
restriction of their home country that
led the Pilgrims to sail for Plymouth.
1t was disccntent with the laws un-
der which they were living that led
the fathers of this country to rid
themselves Of the English yoke and
become a free and independent peo-
pie.
In any one of these instances con-
tentlnent. would have been the worst
thing that could have happened to
America. the worst condition that
could have obtained. 1t would have
stihed progress and hindered the ad-
vancement of the whole world.
But where discomfort is useful
once it is harmful thousand times
because it is for the most part badly
based.
Are you discontented with your
home? Nine times out of ten your
home could be made better if you
really wanted to exert yourself to
make 1t better.
Are you discontented with your job
