An Engineers War.

This Is the first great war in
which the striking advances OF sci.
entifc knowledge that have marked
the closing years OF the nineteenth
century and the opening years OF
the twentieth century have been al
lowed full play. The Napoleonic
struggle occurred when science was
in its infancy. The great European
wars OF 1s66-lS6S and 1901 were
fought out before the mos. notable
discoveries OF modern science had
been made or had received practi-
cal application. and the smaller
wars that have occurred during the
past % years have not been sum.

resources OF men Of science and en-

Be Sure to Wish Right
~ X. AppINcToN BRUCE.
Author Of The Riddle OF Personality
.Psycholoey and Parenthood." etc.

Has II ever occurred to you that wishing Is
one OF the most important things in the world!
II n 40 important that wish is back OF every
act that you or or anybody else ever has done
or ever viii do.
This is something frequently overlooked even
BY people-such az parents. teachers. and

To put the matter picturesquely in the
language of an eminent European moraiist:
What are the springs that cause US to act !
They are the sentiments, and nothing but the
sentiments. Whatever we may do we always
act under the dominion OF sentiment. good or
bad strong or weak, durable or fleeting.
"The sentiments are reducible TO two In num-
ber-desire and fear. The former urges man
forward and incites him to seek that which he
desires. The latter holds him back. and makes
him recoil from that which he fears.
II 70 further. and say that man has never had
but single motive of action-desre. whether
n be a positive desire that something happen.
or . negative desire that something do not hap
pen.
Examine from this point Of view all your &C.
ions and those of your fellowmen. and you will
always find this single spring setting in motion
al your energies-desire."
Hence the Importance OF wishing right.

CONGRESS Must Consider
Unemployment Problem

The average for the twelve western
cities investigated was 20.2 per cent.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
commissioned the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company TO conduct this
inquiry. This company made the
survey Of unemployment in New
York City in January. 1915. and its
work was checked up by an indie
pendent investigation made by the
government Labor Department, and
II was found TO be so accurate that
II was decided to commission the
company 10 make this western in
vestigation. The people visited
were families holding industrial
policies In the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company. and the visiting
was done by the agents of the COM
pany This limitation OF the list to
policy holders makes the results OF
the inquiry conservative rather than
otherwise. The fact that a lahoring
man carries a policy indicates that
he Is rather above the average In
thrift. There are thousands who DO
not carry policies and would not be
on the visiting list Of any insurance
company and these are not taken
into account in the totals OF this
inquiry. Probably. therefore, the
real percentage OF unemployment Is
greater than these figures indicate.
These figures indicate that the
condition Of UNEMPLOYMENT Is a
chronic one. having little to do with
the prosperity or otherwise Of the
country. The summer Is the time
OF largest development, and the in.
