Suggestions.
Are you planning to build home
this spring? If SO, this suggestion
may be pertinent.
You know the old-fashioned
dressmakers who always used to
make dresses for children with
enough material turned up at the
hem and slowed away at the top
of the skirt to make it possible for
the dress to be expanded to meet
the size requirements for many
years to come.
Perhaps the idea is not a good
one when applied extensively to
frocks, but it is good one when
applied to houses. When you plan
your new house, if it is a small
one, stop and think that within the
next decade you may want larger
house The size of your family may
increase. You may DO more en-
tertaining. And the house that has
been built with the possibility of
can be expanded at very
much less expense than the house
that has been built with no such
In placing your house on your
lot always make allowances for a
possible garage, and in setting out
your trees and shrubs keep the ga
rage space clear from the perma-
nent shrubs and trees which might
have to be dug out before long.
If you have veranda, build it so
that it may be screened or glassed
in with small cost There should
be a foundation closed in with
cement.
In arranging the hall on the bed
room floor arrange so that in the
event you do throw out another
wing the hall would open into it
having to break into any
Of the rooms.
Some persons who feel that they
may want more space later build
a house with living rooms and two
bedrooms and bath downstairs.
Then they have a second story, fin
ishing of only one or two rooms
for the time being, leaving the rest
as attic. Later, from this attic
other rooms may be finished at
small expense.

you took his life all at once,

can give a prisoner a pardon: but
you cannot give him back mo-

He may accept q reprieve will

earthquake or whatnot; but as
you DO not mean him to evade
his sentence in any way what
ever, It is not for you to take
such clutchings at straws into
account.
Another argument against the
death penalty for anything short
Of murder Is the practical one Of
the policeman and the house
holder, who plead that IL you

avoid capture on the plea that
they may as well be hanged for

No Steps Taken.

Psychoa analysis. too, which 10 not

phobias. And psychoanalysis 10
n mere fancy compared 10 the
knowledge we have been gathering
recently as to the functions Of our
glands in relation TO our conduct.
In the nineteenth century this
knowledge was pursued barba-
rously by crude vivisectors whose
notion of finding out what a gland
was for was to cut It violently out
and see what would happen to the
victim, meanwhile trying to bribe
the public to tolerate such horrors
by promising to make the old de-
bauchees young again.
This was rightly felt to be a
villainous business; besides. who
could suppose that the men who
did these things would hesitate to
lie about the results when there
was plenty Of money to be made by
representing them as cures for
dreaded diseases?
But today we are not asked to
infer that because something has
happened to q horribly mutilated
dog II will happen also to an un.
mutilated human being. We can
now make authentic pictures Of
Internal organs by means Of rays
to which flesh IL transparent.
This makes Il possible to take q
criminal and say authoritatively
that he is q case, not Of original
sin, but Of an inefficient, or excess

pituitary gland, or adrenal gland,
as the case may be. This, OF
course. does not help the police in
dealing with a criminal; they must
apprehend and bring him to trial
all the same. But II the prison
doctor were able to say, Put some
iodine in this mans skilly, and his

notion Of punishing instead OF cur.

Then comes the plea for the
sacredness Of human life. The
state should not set the ex-
ample OF killing, or Of clubbing
a rioter with a policeman's
baton, or OF dropping bombs on
a sleeping city, or Of doing many
things that States nevertheless
have TO do. But let us take the
plea on It's own ground-which is.
fundamentally, that life 10 the
most precious Of all things, and
its waste the worst Of crimes.
We have already seen that i'm
prisonment does not spare the
life OF the criminal; It takes it
and wastes It in the most cruel
way. But there are others to be
considered besides the criminal
and citizens who fear him so
much much that they cannot sleep
in peace unless he is locked up.
There are people who have to
lock him up and fetch him his
food, and watch him. Why are
their lives to be wasted?

however they can.
Now, in the present state Of
our knowledge It is folly to talk
of reforming these people. By this
I do not mean that even now they
are all quite incurable. The cases
of no conscience are sometimes
cases Of unawakened conscience.
