GREAT ARE THE FRENCH Nam* Done Much to Advance Well <t Being of Humanity. "Now that the world war has promped a careful weighing of Germany's lamboyivnt claims to preeminence in >Kirly eviery scientific field, and found '?# w&ntAng in many respects, it is '?17 to Inquire more closely into the / rigin ef tlie achievements of human f. * Jgenuify ^^Wch have been boons to .'aokiud,'* , says & bulletin from the Taibinfftoi*y headquarters of the Natnal Gcogrc* hie Society, f" "France, ale ay? accounted a literary etion, and nd w acclaimed more galint than the ty *ortd realised, also has 5 her credit a n otablo record of scienflc achievement . according to a comlunioatiozf to Tht1 Society, which says: "France has more direction to he literary aspirations of mankind hail she has to the^ scientific endeavors >f humanity.

The aormal death rato of civilised countries before the days of Pasteur was about SO per thousand of population. Today | It is about 15 per thousand' in the more progressive nations. j "Think what the saving tof 15 lives a year for every thousandj of population means when applied ;to half the earth. It means the averti ng of 12,000,000 untimely deaths antnuafl?. It means more than 25,000,000 cases of illness avoided. It means health and happiness in 20,000,000 homes rather than disease and distress. Who can estimate the benefits of humanity of the wonderful discovery of Pasteur? When onmnrphend i and to esti one u ico w w...r. __ t mate those that may yet flow out of that basic discovery, one's mind is simply unable to grasp it all. "Certain it is that the life saving processes reared on the great foundation built by Pasteur are saving more people from beds of sickness and untimely graves than the g^reat war in Europe, with all its terrons. was able to send there. \ '^nd then we must not forget that radium comes to the world through DO I % II ^ Eve: ! rAtn Del< Tiel< I The No m is a D< reach* This i z than n chase L These KNOW They c II plant y< \ ' ' ' .1 the French laboratory, and with it the budding science'of radio-activity. Who can say what the world's debt to France therefor jie going to be?

"And while we think of'this wonderful new science, whose j"bood Franco has opened to* the world,1 we must not forget its elder sister, tfie science of electricity, tol&ch, while .'harnessed to man's purposes mainly by American invdnfors, had the foundations upon which they built laid largely in France by such men as Coulomb, Laplace, and Ampere." , !

The Report added that a considerable portion of many of our cities, notably New York, will practically have to be I rebuilt in tihe next 20 year? and the existing mortgage system is Inadequate for the purpose. This report 'stated real esltate conditions throughout .the country may be said to be active but not highly speculative and securities \ are ' in - most cases being based not upon present prices and Tents, rather .upon a fair compromise! between pre-war and present costs and upon procuring eanring power.
