Laziness and Poverty.
If there were a hundred times
as much, wealth in the world as
there is at present, and a hun-
dred times as much foodstuffs,
there would he poverty and hun-
ger somewhere. People would
still be starving somewhere be-
cause of the selfish, hoarding in-
stinct of the so-called successful
on the one hand and the thrift-
less methods of the lazy, indo-
lent, ambitionless people on the
ether hand. In other words,
greater production would not
solve the poverty problem. '
Someone has estimated that
the farmers' could raise wheat
enough to supply to every fam-
ily ,about ten, barrels of flour.
Each man also would have so
rang bushels of corn and po-
tatoes, to ''say nothing of the
amount of rice, buckwheat, and
other things. There is no need
of , anybody going hungry. The
lack of thrift the habits of lazi-

causes of most of the poverty.

bably unique — a village which exists
by building airships. It's name le
Shortstown. Made during the war, it
consists of approximately one hundred
and fifty little ,red -brick houses and
flats, all of them tenanted by men and
women engaged in airship work, and
their families.
Except that the shops originally
planned have not come into being, it
is quite self-contained.
It has its owns water and electric
light systems, its own estate office,
its own canteen—a: particularly fine
one, too -and its owl street electric -
Imps. - •
It is a lighter -than -air community
that has no counterpart in England.
Conceived and built by Messrs. Short
Bros., 'Ltd., who constructed R31 and
R32, and who arenow busy at R37 and
R38, the two biggest airships so far
laid down in England, this model vil-
lage affords accommodation for most
of the hundreds of hands employed by
the firm.
The -biggest houses have three bed-
rooms and three : living'. rooms, ,scul-
lery, bath and garden, and the maxi
mum rent charged is $3.80' a *eek, in=
elusive of rates. LittIe wonder that
practically every house is occupied!
Lack of accommodation in Bedford
for their workers and the ` economio
benefits of having them "on the spot"
were the chief reasons whie., induced
the making of this model village, •
The fact that the construction of
airships has lately been drastically
cut down has scarcely 'affected its
population, although- it has reduced.
the total number of employees by
more than half. It takes about a year
-tocomplete a big rigid under present
conditions.
All manner of things; from washing
gold -beaters' skin to making the rings,
or fraines, which compose the main
metal framework of a rigid, are done
in, these shops, woriien and girls being
employed in several departments.
Shortstown is probably the beat

Cheating the Candle Man.
Did it ever occur to you to wonder
why the yolk stays in the middle of
an egg, instead of falling to one end
or the other by gravity?
The reason 4s simply that the yolk
is held inplace by two taut strings
of modified albumen which are attach-
ed to the membranous lining of the
shell- at either end—the arrangement
being somewhat like that used for
swinging a hammock.
When an egg becomes stale beyond
a certain point its membranes, includ-
ing that which envelopes the yolk, be-
come weakened. The ` yolk loses its
grip and sags.
Experts -who make a business of
"candling" eggs, in order to grade
them for market, see; at a glance when
a yolk' has fallen out of place. All
such eggs are graded as inferior or
elderly.
However, an ingenious person .has
recently patented" a machine for mak-
ing old eggs look like new ones. It is
designed for use in cold -storage ware-
houses. A simple turn of a crank
once a week will cause some hundreds
of dozens of eggs to assume a new
position, so that -the sag strain on the
yolk will be in an altered position.
The yolks being relieved of fatigue,
will thus be enabled to hold them-
selves up; and the candler, when the

means of smaller dykes and a filling-in
and . pumping process. The damming
of the north endof the Zuyder Zee
presents difficulties, not only on ac-
count of the length of the dam, but
also due to the fact that at the Fries-
land shore end, the water depth varies
from 11 to 33 feet.
The foundation of the great dam•
will be; literally, billions of all sizes
of tree branches, lashed together into
great bundles. These will be sunk,
forming a supporting mat of enor-
mous area. Upon this will be placed
a thick layer of coarse crushed stone,
and on this powerful fo::ndation
be reared the masonry of the dyke.
