Editor Kennebec Journal:
In your editorial of Oct. Sd. YOU
speak of the recent disaster at Aus
tin. Pa, in such a way as to ridieule
the whole engineering profession with
cut making Il plain whether or not
the engineering profession had any
thing TO DO with the case in question
but even # II is granted that an en-
gineer was responsible for the design
OF the Inflated dam, your TRADE
against engineers in general was In
q class of argument that would at
tempt 10 condemn the whole medical
profession because some man had
died from blood poisoning, before you
knew whether he had been treated by
an eminent physician, a quack. ct no
physician 1T all.
You say that Engineers VIII tell us
that their structures are beyond the
power of the elements" when you
know all the time that engineers viii
not tell you any such thing, for no one
knows better than engineers do, the
powers OF the elements and our limi-
tations in contending with them.
You speak of the 'muchyaunted
exact knowledge of engineering pos
sibflitieS' and attempt 10 Hoid tIS
whole profession up to ridieule because
an occasional structure fails. when IN
Ynost cases the failure was because
some owner or promoter would NOT
make use of engineering knowledge
which would have required better
structure than he was willing to build.
Your argument carried TO logical
conclusion would lead men 10 abendon
all attempts at scientific construction
by engineers in general, and set the
wheels OF material progress back a
hundred years at least.
Would it not be we'll for You to in

He stopped Miss Thorne's eyes

She spread out the handkerchief on

"You could identify this again, OF

In baking cherry pies remember to
