"One might well shrink in lUs shoes at the thought of a return to savagery or barbarism. But life becomes safer with every ensuing year of civilization. Just look about you at all these safe guards " "That's Just It," broke in Sylvester sadly, "You've hit the crux of the nmtter right off. Just look about you, as you say, and what do you see? Here we are In an average New York apart ment ? four rooms and bath. Above us Is an electric chandelier. When you want light Just press a button. There Is a radiator, If you want heat on a frigid day Just lean over from your easy clialr and turn a knob. Or do you prefer the cheer of an open grate fire? Just turn on the gas. "Wouldst dine?
