usage it gives an officer higher nominal

Developing Human Powers

Great persons are such an asset to

has not deliberately tried to cultivate
them, as it cultivates flowers and
fruits, producing new and surprising
varieties. Perhaps after this war
which we all hope is going to bring
such marve!s in the way of compen-
sation. it will bestir itself in this re-
gard Making the world safe for de-
mocracy may lead to the developing
of the latent powers in humanity that

What Ono Knot Faster Would Mean

For every soldier that we land in
France" says the Scientific Ameri-
can. "25 tons of shipping must plow
back and forth at steady ten knots
to supply his needs alone. For $4,000
men this means 100 ships-a number
that we would be hard pressed to
find. And this means curtailment of
the vital supplies to our allies.
"Now. could the average speed Of
this fleet he raised to II knots and
could the time in port be reduced 10
per cent. we could release for other
service some $4,000 tons of shipping,
In other words, we could create i'm
mediately that amount Of extra ton
mage and add it to our merchant ma
rine, not in 1918 but today. And to-
day may be the day. the real Day.
