It means that the volume of human satisfaction docs not increase in ratio to the increase of satisfaction of ec- inoniic wants. But it is easier and pleasanter these summer days to watch the law in operation. Any- where will do, but because it is sum- mer and folks are motoring, let us take the country highway. In which do you see the happiest faces â€" the little cars or the big'.' The people in th(j huge ear whose motor purrs like an indolent tat are enjoying tcmsel- ves. But they are not enjoying themselves more than the people in the car costing one-tenth as much. The law of dimishing utility says you can't enjoy yourself ten times as much by having something ten times as costly as your brother has. This law, v.'hich isn't sentiment, morals or religion, but just cold science, should be a groat discourager of envy. You can hold just so much happiness. You reach the saturation point and what is reached after that only adds to self-importance, which subtracts from hap.oiness. Happy faces in lit- tle cars, faces no happier in big cars -â€"what better proof of the law of- di- minishing utility? Sunday with Mrs. Henderson and family.
