is seriously conscious. The best and

those which mix a certain amount of

And this leads to the second point,
which is- that the worth of a compli-

>1 little way out of Bedford, Eng-

by building airships. It's name is

consists oi' approximately one hundred
and fifty little i'ed•brick houses and

The biggest houses have three bed-

Lack of 'accommodation in Bedford
for their workers and the economic
benefits ot,llaving them "on the spot"
were the chief reasons whit« induced
the malting of this moclel village.
The fact tli.at the construction of
airships has lntely been drastically

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 be 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
other 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 se
many bushels of cern 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-
ness and indolence, the unwill-
ingness to work or to pay the
price for attainment, • are the
causes of most- of the poverty
of the world.
