r "One of the greatest sources of
nodal discontent is that of Improp- :
cr and unsanitary housing which J
ocou rs in our large cities," is the.
contention Of 10(1 ward D, Outfield.'
president of the Prudential Insur
ance. Company, which organization!
durlnK 1024 relieved the housing
shortage by making loans on dwel
ling and apartincntn covering
property accomodating 25.878 fam
III oh. Abovo are threw homes made
possible through this policy.
"We are trying our he?t to meet
thin situation," he has Said. "We
are trying to make il easier, year
by year, for the man who wantH
to build a home to do .so. We are
Kolng to try and see whether we
can develop a system under which
w? can make loans during the
processes of construction with
nafety. ,* We are going to try to
nmko it easy lor the honest up
?
right American citizen w.Uo wants
Homo help It) order to >>ulld a homo.
VVe are going to make It Just us
easy for t hut man as we can do,
having due regurd to t ho fact that
wn arc the trustees of other
people's Ilioilfy."
"It seems to mo we should give
consideration to the fact that there
aro Inst r u mentalities and agencies
engaged 'in endeavoring to wipe
out the -slums that now dlsRrace
the great cities of this country and
substitute therefor decent housing
facilities. I say that the Prudential
ought to get back of every such
movement. And I say that one of
the missions of this company of
ours is to make America a better
America, and you can not do any
thing. In my opinion, that will
more surely aid In this direction
than to Rive people decent places
In which to live."

This age-old dispute will perhaps
lie\er hi* set I led tp lll?' point where
one. Hide will .ponreile defeat and ad*
uilt the other right. If men have al
most succeeded In mak{pK the lerm
"vanity" an attribute of femininity,
wuirtcn, on the other band, have been
even more successful in fastening the
adjective "conceit" on men alone. Ar
gument* will nevea deelde the ques
tions- nor will proof for that matter ?
hut Home very etrong circumstantial
evidence on the subject was recently
presented by a Frenchman who bad
been In h. peculiarly favorable condi
tion to procure It.
This man' was toarooned-on a desert
Inland In the South seas when there
drifted to him In a boat, which had
been blown out of its course, a man
and Ills wife ' who were of a hiiv
?ge, heg44i cannibal tribe. He saved
their lives, and they jived with him on
very friendly terms, k* ere is the way
he described the effect on them of a
little mirror he had in his cabin.
"I presented It Nrst to the woimin,
Hardly did she see her image reflect
ed In It ihnn sin* began to quiver. to
tremble in all her members ; she
turned and again turned the enchant
ed object, felt Its surface, explored
tin* other side, and, not being able to
understand the sorcery of It, called
her husband. With him It was.nunh
worse. As soon as he saw in the mir
ror a living being who was looking at
him he uttered a loinl scream and lied
with all the speed of his legs and
never slopped until he reached the
other end of the island. He never got
nvt'i- his dreiid <>f the object.
"For him that' glass was the dwell
ing place of an evil spirit. ? On the
contrary, the woman. little by little,
became familiar with It. Attracted
by a -ecret charm she would come of
her "ou n accord t" ask me for the
mirror, and for hours she would make
before it grimaces and contortions un
speak-ably ? comical. In her curiosity
there whs >-iill mingicd a certain fear.
Yet she calue back as if all obseur<*
Instinct had taught her that this mir
ror was an instrument of coquetry.
She was a woman."
(if euiirse this siory does not prove
an.vt liinu. Women will slid be "uncon
vinced. I 'lit all must admit that if is
an interesting circumstance hearing
on i tie question. At least that.
