The other has taken some work home with him, and possibly continued until bedtime. "Keen man," you'll say, "deserves to get on." . Actually the man's a fool. No man is justified in doing the work of two people--he must sacrifice his health. So, in the end, he doesn't get on-- he should be about to retire and en- joy the fruits of his labor. If you find yourself working over- time continuously, ask yourself the reason. Is it because you think no one else is capable of doing the job during the day--that you are more or less indispensable? Conceited and short-sighted notion! If you died, the work would be done just -the same." No man is indispensable, Or is it because you are keen to succeed and "make a pile?" What use will the pile be, in any case, when you have sacrificed your : health through depriving yourself of leis- ure? Work strenuously and dili- gently, by all means; but do think twice before you allow lack of leis- ure and recreation to undermine your physical and mental powers. There are so many who do this in their lust for position, power or wealth. Thoreau calls it the "spend: ing of the best part of one's life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it." Though your work may be im- portant, and though you have the right spirit in trying to do it con- scientiously.--From "The Secrets of Happiness," by Wilfred Northfield. WORTH TRYING In this busy -world of ours it is easy to forget to do the thoughtful things which make living so much richer, and to say the simple words of appreciation which may make someone feel that his effort has not gone unnoticed. It is equally easy to get the notion that you are not ap- preciated. Generally, you'll find that somebody, perhaps the one you would least expect, has noticed after all. Why not be a bit more mindful of the good other folk are doing and at the same time try to do good your- self without the expectation of re- ward or praise.

Since 1919, Britain has been able to build 2,198,106 new houses -- 1,164,831 of them built with the state aid, and 1,028,275 with private capital. This progress has kept building trade workers busy, s'imulated in- dustry in general, and contributed much to the "recovery" by conser- vative Britain that is the envy of many. When the War ended, Britain found itself with a definite ana vast housing shortage, Especially in the industrial cities, there was dire need for decent houses for workingmen. But because building material cost so much, interest rales on bor- rowed money were so high, and the pay of building trade workmen was so steep, it was hard to build homes at a cost low enough that working: men could either buy them or rent them, GOVERNM-NT TAKES LEAD The British Government took a hand. Its effort was in two phases: First--Almost from the Armistice down to last year, the Government itself aided the private building of houses by granting subsidies. Second--Aid to private building has now ceased, and the government has turned to tearing down slums and providing new and better houses in which the former slum- dwellers could afford to live. .- . Beginning with the Addison Act in 1913, the government extended a series of subsidies to private buila- ers of homes under plans approved by the Ministry of Health, working through 1712 local authorities. The British treasury has, in those 16 years, paid out some $700,000,- 000 in housing subsidies , and has drawn 'to building a total of nearly three and a half billion dollars from treasury and private sources. This outpouring of money has been of the greatest help in keeping British industry going. LOW INTEREST HELPS Low interest rates at which money could be borrowed helpea bring this result, and many obser- vers believe that such condition Is now becoming apparent in the United States. ; In 1933, money became so easily available in Britain for housing loans that the government discon- tinued its subsidies, Building and loan associations were encouraged to loan a higher 'percentage of a house's cost, the government assum- ing responsibility for the difference between the normal 70 per cent and the 90 per cent which it recom- mended. LONDON SPENDS MILLIONS Already the city of London had become- one of the greatest land- lords of the metropolitan area, hav- ing built 69,000 houses and flats for 850,000 pcople to live in. Add- ing to federal funds some $200; 000,000 of its own tax money, the London County Council had built not only new apartments in crowded areas, but had developed whole streets and communities in outlying districts. Last year the city of London had $13,000,000 coming to it in rents. The slum problem then became paramount. The National Housing and Town Planning Council in 1929 showed that one-quarter of the popu- lation of England and Wales was living under definitely overcrowded conditions. A Scottish committee reported that at least 41,000 houses in Scotland were absolutely unfit to live in and should be de- stroyed. In London, it was found that two .of three families were compelled to share "a house, that one-eighth of 'the population live more than two to a room, and that in Scotland this proportion was more than a third. Sir E. D. Simon, former mayor of Manchester, said nearly 2,000,000 new houses would be needed in Brit- ain by 1951, and that four million homes were below any acceptable standard. So in 1930 a new housing act went through Parliament. It . defined slums, and gave local authorities a chance to do away with the plague spots. They can either require own- etfs to demolish such buildings, or buy the areas themselyes and ar- range demolition. OWNERS FORCED TO ACT If owners tear down the buildings they keep the sites.

In these the worst houses may be torn down, others ordered repaired. If the owner is slow about doing the re- pairing, the city may do it, and charge the cost to him. Appeals from such demolition and repair or- ders. go to county courts. MINISTER "ON SPOT" On new flats and apartments now under way, rentals have not yet been set, but on properites now op- erated by the London County Coun- cil they are: For a five-room house, exclusive of taxes and water rent, from $3.25 to $3.43 a week; four- room houses, $3 to $3.25; four-room flats, $2.60 to $2.75; two-room 'lats $2.12, Sir Hilton Young, as Minister of Health, is in the 'hot spot" of pleasing everybody with this pro- gram. He hasn't done it. He is at- tacked by Socialists and Liberals for not moving fast enough. He is attacked by landlords for moving too fast. They are demanding that owners of condemned buildings be paid not only for the land, but also some- thing for the holidays.
