his act also resulted in the rehabili-

INVENTIVE GENIUS

Inventive genius is running
amuck in this country. Some
thing ought to be done to stop
it.
If you don't believe it, look
what it's done to our lead pen
ellis. Time was when lead
pencil was just a plain, unas-
suming writing utensil that
started al one end and ended at
the other. When it wore its
nose out doing its duty, you
gave it few slices with a knife
and it was ready for work again.
1t was so simple a child could
manipulate it.
Inventive genius has put an
end, and a lot of other unneces-
sary things, to the simple lead
pencil. The lead pencil today is
as difficult to understand as
timetable. Not only must we
buy il, but we must learn TO use
it, We must figure out whether
it unfolds, works with q spring,
is run by lever or has secret
combination.
That's what untrammelled in
ventive genius has done for US.
