Blind Ally lob

In an article written by Steinmetz, the great engineer, for the American Magazine. Steinmetz says:
 These blind alley jobs are an in evitable part of every big industr al machine There must be someone to do the mechanical bits. calling for no skill, and consequently for no high rate of pay; but that someone does not necessarily have to be you. There is no law that says that once a man gets into a blind alley job he is doomed for life. The same principle that makes one who has fallen accidentally into a river fight his way to the top to get the blessed air and to preserve his life should be working within a man as soon as he sees he has fallen into ono of these jobs. Because, if you exam inc the psychological reaction af man who falls into river, you will see that the same principle can be applied. The man who suddenly finds himself under water, even though he be a good swim mer, becomes exceedingly dissatisfied with his position at the moment Dis content of the nth degree is working g within him, and he does everything 10 fight his way to the top, seizing a rope, a piece of wood, boat, anything, in fact, to relieve him from his predica- ment In other words. his discomfort. is so powerful that it forces him to

HOWARD COLLEGE SENIOR PLAY

Every indication points to success tor the annual senior play at Howard coi- lege tomorrow evening. The production is undor the able direction of Mrs. M. H. Ruff As a farce the presentation is very difficult, but the cast has shown surprising ability in presenting every situation.
 The plot is full of entanglements IL
 deals with a country justice of the peace. who earns the title of "A Cheer ful Liar,' by his wonderfully alert inn
 agination and ability to evade the con
 sequences of every situation resulting from his excessive prevarication. He will succeed in drawing many laughs The spinster housekeeper, with her love affairs with the constable and the rever. end, IS the center of many ludicrous scenes. Flora Boomer and Randolph Dearborn arc the cause of all the en- tanglements, and pursued by the roaring General Boomer are much perplexeo about their marriage.
 The cast includes Miss Cecilia Cain Miss Jessie Macon, Miss Annie M. flag
 gard. D. J. Farley, J. R. Simmons, J R. Stuckey, L. W. Cookery and Fred Bryant.

GOVERNMENT AND THE TRUCK

Some comment has been occasioned by the report that the government, presuln- l ably partly to aid MT. Schwab in his motor truck service between Washing ton and Philadelphia, has ordered cur tailment of automobile production. The manager of one Of the leading automu-
 bile manufacturers of the United States i admitted this morning that his company was compelled by the government to cur tail by as much as 50 per cent it's output of automobiles this year That does not
 mean, however that the manufacturing plant is to be idle, since this 50 per cent curtail,nent of automobile manufacture will make possible the manufacture of Q large number of automobile trucks tor the government. Other automobile ma an- ufacturer5 whose output of automobiles is curtailed will nevertheless find plenty of occupation. Some of them are to build tanks some of them motor trucks.
 Henry Ford is to build a very large number of small motors so that while there is to be falling off of at least 5J per cent of the output of automobiles this year, there is to be in the place of that reduction in output, vast construc- tive work for the government of motor trucks, tanks and like apparatus. Again.
 the government is prepared to spend a billion dollars if so much as that be needed in order to secure an adequate supply of motor trucks and tanks.
