INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITIES.
Extracts from Address by George Otis
Smith, Director, U. S. Geological Survey.

| Four constituents enter into the reac-
| ton that we term industry. Two Of
| these. brain and Drawn, are organic COM
pounds and two perhaps to be regarded
as inorganic-money and material. None
of these components is wanting here in
the United States and in fact their
abundance affords the best reason for an
optimistic outlook upon the present in
dustrial situation. OF these four constit-
uents, labor and capital and brains are
all more easily transported generally
than the crude materials upon large ton
nages of which the industry must de-
pend. Thus, cheap coal attracts manu-
faeturers just as cheap land attracts
farmers
With distribution of raw material is
linked the influence of markets upon the
location OF industry. The development
Of transportation systems makes the
problem OF markets most complex one.
The Industrial independence of the small
community of a century ago has given
way to the system under which your din
ner table may represent the tribute from
several continents. Even in country
so diversified as ours in its natural boun-
ties domestic production of everything
consumed is not desirable nor profitable
Exchange of commodities with foreign
countries becomes necessary, so il fol-
lows that industrial independence is the
goal toward which a nation should face,
but not a goal which il should have eth
or the intention or desire TO attain.
To increase industrial prosperity this
country needs TO export finished rather
than crude products and to import raw
rather than manufactures. IL
ia the product Of American labor rather /
than the bounty of our natural resources I
that preferably should 90 into the I
worlds markets As the engineers OF 4
America study this matter of expansion
II manufacturing, il becomes evident /
that the distribution of raw material .
and Of power is the key to industrial op.
Petroleum and natural gas in their dis
ribution in some degree supplement coal.
Thus. the largest oil field both in present
production and probable reserve is in
alifornia. a state with only negligible
,oal resources. Taken together. these
mineral fuels constitute a national asset
comparable with the soil resources Of
his country. but the larger part Of the
alue Of the natural gas. petroleum. and
oal 20 the nation is in their relation 70
The wide distribution Of ores Of the
Principal metals sufficiently rich and ex-
eusiye 10 b. mined in large quantities
means that the mctalurgieal industry is
important on both the Pacific and the
atlantic seaboards, in most Of the Rocky
aountain states a. well as in several Of

spread production. In the mining OF cop
per last year 20 states contributed, and
no less than 2S states furnished. iron ores
to the furnaces of the country.
The raw material resources OF this
country are so widely distributed that
industry has been developing at this rap
id pace at many points. The tendency IS
away from geographic Capitalization OF
industry rather than toward it. A few
opportunities for expansion need only to
b. suggested: The South with its happy
com bination of coal and iron ore in the
same districts make pig iron production
possible at minimum cost; the West
with its hydro electric possibilities avail
able as a source of relatively cheap pow
er for chemical and metallurgical indus
tries; the Rocky mountain region with
its vast unutilized sources of sulphuric
acid and equally great unmined stores Of
phosphate rock.
The ingredients necessary for produce
ing prosperity appear at hand. The new
financial system already promises moro
mobile credits. A more sympathetic at
titude of the public toward big industrial
operations is indicated The efficiency of
American labor and American engineer
ing was never questioned.
In any estimate of American ability to
make the most of the present opportu-
mites for industrial expansion, no better
of the inventive genius of this
country can perhaps be found than in a
review of what is making the
European war so terrible. Strictly neu-
trail may we be yet from the heights

CHAPTER Il.
Vanity Valiant.

'The witness Is excused"
In the ripple that stirred across the
court room at the examiners abrupt
conclusion. John Valiant, who had
withstood that pitiless hail of ques-
tions, rose, bowed to him and slowly
crossed the cleared space to his coun-
sci. The chairman looked severely
over his eyeglasses, with his gavel
lifted, and a statuesque girl, in the
rear Of tho room, laid her delicately
gloved hand on companions and
smiled slowly without withdrawing her
gaze, and with the faintest tint of col
or in her face.
Katharine Fargo neither smiled nor
flushed readily. Her smile was an in
dex Of her whole personality, languid,
symmetrical, exquisitely perfect. Tho
little group with whom she sat looked
somewhat out of place in that mixed
assembage Smartly groomed and
palpably members Of set to whom
John Valiant was a familiar, they had
had only friendly mods and smiles for
the young man at whom SO many there
had gazed with jaundiced eyes.
TO the general public which read It's
daily newspaper perhaps none Of the
gllded set was better known than
Vanity Valiant" The new Panhard
he drove was the smartest car on the
avenue, and the collar on the white
bulldog that pranced or dozed or It's
leather seat sported a diamond buckle.
To the spacewriters Of the social col.
umns. he had been perennial inspira.
tion. The patterns Of his waistcoats,
and the splendors OF his latest bache-
lors' dinner at Sherry's-with such
items the public had been kept suffi.
ciently familiar. To It. he stood a per.
feet symbol Of the elder ease and In.
solent display OF Inherited wealth.
And the great majority Of those who
had found place in that r:ony cham.
