impossible to get anything out of Germany Now it is
hard to get any from France England. 1t is

papers and press associations.
Of the governments of Europe entirely right
in maintaining the utmost secrecy The success of

enemy in ignorance of it, This cannot be done the whole
story of it is blazoned to the world But for this paucy

knows how many years before.
In that case we should not have had
the flying machine and the steam en-
CINE and the steamboat and the sewing
machine and the telephone and the
telegraph, to take a few of the best
known examples and leave 10000
others In obscurity.
OF course my suggestion was ex-
tremely obvious but we do not always
see the things we look at every day
undone partly for this reason, and
partly because every one thinks some
one else would have done them if they
were feasible.
For instance in many modern houses
they are building bathtubs flush with
the floor-an excellent plan since it
saves the labor of cleaning under them.
Why wasn't that done so years ago?
For no reason except that it was too
obvious.
Again, we had automobiles for sew
eral years before device was put on
the market by which the tire could be
pumped up by power from the engine.

L ink absorbing OutHI-uNdt is,
X something to take the place of
49, the slow and inefficient eraser,
some solution which could be applied
with a brush to the word or letter
which YOU wish to remove and which
would quickly absorb it without leav-
ing a mark If there were any danger
of corroding the paper another solu-
ton which would neutralize this action
could be promptly applied.
Having sketched this apparently
feasible idea, I waited for applause.
Instead l was promptly assured, IF it
could have been done some one would
have done it long ago.
l wonder for how many centuries
conservatives have been saying that to
restless folks who had new Ideas.
l wonder If there ever was a great
inventor whose invention was not dis
credited by wiseacres who told him
that the thing couldn't possibly be
done because. if it cou&, some one
would have done it long ago.
Mind you, I'm not defending my
suggestion. For aught 1 know 1t may
be utterly impracticabie. But what

that it was no use attempting to dc

then, the infinite possibilities in a world
in which the factors for combination
are measured by the million.
Because a thing has not been done
is no reason whatever that it can't be
done. 1t is simply a challenge to find
out why 1t hasn't been done and If the
reasons are not sufficient and the thing
is worth doing, to do it.
