InYentiYe 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 i'll done to our leadpen-
ellis. Time was when a lead
pencil was just plain, unas-
suming utensil that started at
one end and ended at the 9th
er. When it wore its nose out
doing its duty, you gave il a
few slices with a knife and it
was ready for work again. IL
was so simple child could ma
nipulate it.
Inventive genius has put an
end, and lot Of other unnec-
essary things, to the simple
leadpencil. The leadpeneil Of
today is as difficult TO under
stand as a timetable. Not only
must we buy it, but we must
learn to use it. We must fig
ure out whether it unfolds,
works with a spring, is run by
lever or has secret e0mbi-
nation.
That IS what untrammclled in
ventive genius has done for US.
