ALL DONE BY "MACHlNE."
Progress of Race Determined by the
Number and Efficiency.

NumDer ana EIIlCIenCy'
Civilization from it's very inception
has been "machine-made," says David
Graham Phillips in the Reader Maya
zine. 1t began when our remote an
cestor snatched the bough of tree
and decided thenceforth to walk erect,
using the bough as staff and club
that is, as a machine. Every tool of
every kind has been a machine, and
the progress of the race has been
determined by the number and efii-
cheney of it's machines, both those de-
signed to compel peace and those de-
signed to further the arts of peace.
If you wish to measure the actual
value of any civilization-value in
producing healthy minds in healthy
bodies-you need only inquire into the
kind and number and efficiency OF its
machines. Why? Because the ma
chine represents the effort of man to
adjust himself to his environment, his
environment to himself. 1t gives
power to him, whoever he may be;
that learns to use it; it leaves him
who does not avail himself of its aid,
whether through idleness or ignor-
ance or intemperance or incapaclty,
about where he would have been-cer-
tainly no worse off than he would
have been-had mankind remained in
the helpless, machineless state OF
nature"

Why Italians STAY in Cities.

One impelling reason for the settle
ment of Italians and other immigrants
from Europe in New York and other
large cities of the east is that when
they reach this country they are COM
PEELED to find work at once, and the
daily wage offered being so much in
excess of anything they have known
they settle easily in the rut, adding to
the congestion. If given an oppor-
tunity to reach other parts of the
country, and especially if given the
opportunity to own land they would
gladly seek fields more promising and
better for the country as well as for
emselves.-Atlanta Constitution.
