One way the authorities in every city can help keep the housing problem from becoming worse, is to inaugurate rigid campaigns to wipe out fire hazards.

Every time a house burns, the situation becomes just that much more acute.'

Most of the real nervousness with which unhealthy persons suf fer is attributable to ordinary laz- iness or downright selfishness or both. The laziness manifests itself in a hatred for anything that re sembles exercise or .work; and when I say work I mean work, not merely thinking how to do the oth er fellow in a business deal, not mere professional practice, nor any of the various games of wit that the players like to dignify by the name of "my work." There is no. work connected with running a store - or managing a factory or playing with a card index system or writing letters, stories or books. There is no work connected .with running s newspaper or governing j a city, state or nation. Folks Justi like to flatter themselves by call ing such fun work. Work is some thing you do with your muscles,! not with your mind. All these other pastimes are mere play. And there is where selfishness comes in as a factor of nervous ness. Some of us are so fond of our fun that we wast to keep at it constantly. We just hate to quit playing at our regular voca tion or occupation and get out and do a little work to eompensate. We stick so close to the game that we grow narrow and self-centered and presently we begin to harbor that delusion of grandeur which makes a man feel that his job can't do without him, that he is the only person 'available who can play his particular game in the efficient manner required.

HA. One of the most curious names which has achieved widespread popularity today is Ina. It is a name without a history, without a country, without even a past. A product of modern fancy, based on some fair lady's whim this is practically the only explanation which can be given -for the Inaa of this etymological age. It is thought by some that it bears a sufficiently striking re semblance to the Spanish lnes to be considered an Anglicized deriv ative.. That theory would make Ina equivalent to our Agnes and would, give it the significance of pure. It might also be derived from the Greek Inaz, which has the same significance. TEE WMLT ' PEIICROFT.

She scanned the document In be wilderment, speechless with joy. But finally ahs cried, "Oh. Albert, how fine! We are really rich at last! We will move to the city at once and sell Plnecroft!" It seemed too good to be true, and yet the document lay before them confirming every doubt Albert spent all of his spare mo ments the following day "house hunting," and returned home at night In high spirits.

The frst floor of the massive i brick, building which houses this educational club contains a huge lobby, with a large fireplace, hun dreds of small reading tables and comfortable leather easy chairs and a soft drink fountain. At two-thirty in the afternoon when the steel plant changes shifts and about i, 000 men are released, this floor is crowded wth blue-overalled work men, lolling back in the easy chairs fter the best manner of Fifth avenue clubmen, or quaffing the latest soft drinks with distinct ly audible enthusiasm. ' At the end of the lobby is a large billiard room containing six or eight tables, which are the Joy of the steel workers, many or whom have become experts. -The rest of the floor, which extends on and on for another half blocks devoted to a huge auditorium, or theater with a seating capacity of 1,200 persons. and a special entrance opening on the street, so that the Audience may enter and leave without disturbing the occupants of the rest of the building.

But the glory of the theater is its great electric organ, which, ac cording to one of the Italian work men, "have a soul."

The cafeteria is larger than most hotel dining rooms, so that it can, serve, according to the secretary, as many as 3,000 people if called upon to do so. So far it has had' to accommodate only 1,000. This is not because it lacks appreciation, but because the men work only eight hours a day- now instead ot ten and eat on the job. Many of them leave their tin pails at thai "Y" as they go to work in the, morning, and the cafeteria fills them and sends them over to ths plant at noon. The kitchen supplying the cafe- teria has the proud distinction of; being the largest west of the Mis-' sissippi. It contains several huge gas ranges, built like coal stoves, j and a lot of interesting culinary) equipment which we might have taken more pains to investigate had I the kitchen been 'cooler. We did t notice, however, a potato peeler, which peels 25 pounds of potatoes in a comparatively few minutes, and a huge electric mixing machine which was mixing a bowl of II eggs. Nearby was an egg-beater which was so large ana wiry mat. After this we were led by Mr. ( Shelton, the secretary, abruptly in I to the refrigerating plant which turns out fioo oounds of ice every 12 hours, and stores we forget howl many hundred pounds of meat and fresh vegetables. Then came l view of the swimming pooyjust vacated by a few dozen workmen, and a glimpse of the filtration sys tem that pumps water into the pool and pumps it out again three times a day. The water in the pool heated by steam pressure, the coal used for this purpose being meas ured by a meter that registers M consumption hour by hour. As we returned once more to tM lobby, a young girl in a pink gins ham dress and hat appeared at tns front door. "Oh, there you it. dad." she cried, as she caught sigm of a tall, grey-haired wede in leather rocking chair.
