by Chifi Justice White, of the Su-

When a calamity such as the San
Francisco earthquake, the Dayton
flood or the sinking of the Titanic oc—
curs, the world stands aghast at the
frightful waste of life and property
as measured in dollars and cents. and
the whole world pays the penalty. But
thee: happenings cannot be averted.
They are costly but infrequent—part
of the price of our modern civilisation,
and constitute but a small fractionof
the waste cost of the world.
We wouldn't burn a forest knowing-
ly, but we would burn the lumber that
comes out of it. Notions do not waste
their big things willingly. Only a great
war can ever bring a nation to the
point of destroying 'life and property

there is a waste that ’is' going on con:
stantly that is more costly even than
war, as costly as ,war may be; for

It settles a quarrel. The waste we
refer to is the waste of little things.
for those in the aggregate prove as
costly, although less noticeable. than .
the waste of larger ones.
