Engineering is defined as the pro-
fession which adapts the achieve
ments of science and art to the use
of mankind. War then is in effect
engineering and the great numbers Of
young men who have been engaged
in the world war have been practicing
engineering and every one Of them
sees the opportunities that would be
given him for a career Of usefulness
and responsibility if he were grad
uate engineer.
The University of Kentucky is
maintained by the commonwealth
and here her sons may obtain train
ing in engineering that is conceded
by the heads of our great industries
to be second to none in America. The
Kentucky engineer has no superior
because the Kentucky man has no
superior.
Almost every branch of human en-
deavor today is associated in some
way with engineering. Banking, man
ufacturing in all of its varied forms,
the mining Of coal, building Of
bridges and the designing and con
struction of buildings. There is al
most an unlimited scope for the ex-
ercise Of the taste of the individual.
If young man is interested in
outdoor work he should follow civil
engineering, which deals with sur
veying, maintenance of railways and
the creation of all structures. If he
is interested in electrical science,
there are many varied sorts of work
such as telephony, establishing n.y.
dro- electric plants, radio telegraphy, |
building electric railways, manufact-
nring all kinds of electrical machin-
cry.
If he is interested in mechanical

manufacturing to choose from after

yines, locomotives, cars, and in fact
every article that is manufactured
for mans use, from tooth picks to
pecan liners.

Uncle Sam has become master IN
the art Of manufacturing. The world
war demonstrated beyond question
that the United States soon will be
required to supply large part Of the
worlds manufactured products.
At the present time there is a great
demand for technically trained engi-
neers and it is estimated that if all
the technical schools Of this country
graduated men at the same rate they
are doing at the present time, 1T
would take ten years to equip enough
engineers to supply the present de-
mand for skilled technicians.
The industries Of the United States
are now going through a process of
reconstruction and there will GER
tainly be an increasing demand for
skilled men.
The demand for engineers from the
University Of Kentucky has for years
been in excess of the number Of
graduates, and at the present time
there are only supplied small per-
centage of the men asked for by the
industries.
In the class of 1919 the average
salary earned by the graduate imme-

the telephone away as bitter cup
and laughed sheepishly.
"Great convenience, the telephone

money than I ever hoped to have. 'For

He kissed her and patted her back
with doleful tenderness and she went
out of his Office into the elevator. Its

chains gave it congenial prison feel

into seemed even more appropriate.

CHAPTER xxIII-continued.

Mrs. Romilly finished her wholesale
order and wheezed out like a grand
old automobile of an early model.
When they were alone the partners
gazed at Daphne's list and then al
each other.
What on earth made you take it?'
Mrs. Chivvis exclaimed. "You know
we can't fill it."
"We're going to fill it."
'But how?
''Darned if know, but Well, we'll
have to get lot of sewing-women in

Leila's face was almost invisible in
bandages; her whole body crisscrossed
and swaddled. She was an Egyptian
princess mummied. For a moment her
soul came out of the drug at his gasp

her a moan of such woe as Cancelled

II Wetherell felt that she had turned
against him and he reached for tn,

in turn. He paid for the dinner and
tipped the waiter with the lavishness
of bankrupt. He tipped lavishly the
man who guarded his car, and swung
out into the road with an instant
speed that would have been prettier
if there had been less danger.
| Daphne and Leila were good sports,
but they were not merry. Wetherell
was from wine and despair. 1t was
the wine that brought out the truth.
He had to tell Daphne what he had
told Leila, of his misfortune with his
bally old government.
He asked Daphne to explain to Bay
ard how sorry he was that he was in
yolyed in the crash.
'Your broth Bayafds aw'f1y nice

will-ll?"
Daphne grew furious. She felt now
that she had justified her presence
here. She held Leila fast in her EN-
brace and commanded Wetherell.
"Slow down at once! Do you hear?
Slow down this carl"
Wetherell laughed: 'Bless li'p heart.

instantly in white outlines against the
black world a wagonload of sleepy
children returning from some village

drowsily, "Merrilee we ro-la-lOng-rO-la-
long"
Daphne and Leila seemed to die at
once.
Wetherell groaned, "Oh, my God,
the III chil'renI"
There was nothing for Wetherell to
do but what he did. He spun his wheel |
and drove his thunderbolt into an |
open concrete culvert. There was |
furious racket. The car turned |
and crumpled in a shud
dering mass.
Wetherell, pinioned under the wheel,
was knocked this way and that and |
his beautiful head cracked on the con-
crete like a china dolls.

terious sort of place surrounded by
guards and secret service men to
ward off the menace of spies, real and
imaginary.
Bayard had unusual difficulty in
passing the lines. The reason he soon
heard. A new man was in charge in
Wetherell's place, a retired British of
fieer whose natural and affected gruff-
ness was aggravated by the unpleas-
ant nature of his tasks. He had only
one eye.
He made Bayard describe who and
what he was and what he wanted
Only Bayard's desperation gave him
strength to ask this old Cyclops for
an advance on new contracts.
Bayard went away in stupor. He
had intelligence enough to feel that he
could less safely attack Wetherell
now than before. He would seem to
be implicated in the fellows malfeas-
ance Ne would only advertise to his
creditors that his Wanted contracts
were worthless. Business men will en-
dure much to escape such publication
of their wrongs.
Bayard kept his head high till he
reached his own office. Then he fell
into his chair and propped his elbows
on his desk and gripped his hot brows
In his hands as IL he were holding his
skull together. 1t is the business mans
attitude of prayer.

Greek statue, and as marblish white
and cold.
The inferno led him at length out
into the corridor. And now Bayard
remembered that he had also a sister,
an only sister, in this same tavern Of
pain. His heart went out to her. He
remembered, too, that they had a IA
Their and a mother to tell or deceive.
The inferno assured him that
Daphne's injuries were slight. She
looked sad enough when he peered In
at her, though she was far from the
dreary estate of Leila. She was
asleep, but she woke at the sound of
his step. and, turning her head with
effort, opened her eyes-and smiled at
him feebly and whispered his name,
and beckoned to him with one weak
finger.
Daphne's heart ached out to him;
arms would let her. She searched her
mind for comfort. She could think of
nothing SO comforting just now as q
hearty, reassuring lie. She whispered:

He was so grateful, so eager to be
deceived, that he forgot her state and
her hand hard and kissed 1t
IN gratitude for a priceless boon. The
nurse, returning, saw the deed and
smiled, not knowing what joy Bayard
vas taking in absolving Leila Of sus-

In God We Trust

Capt. Arthur Hunt Chutei in LeslieS
 In our universities we find multitudes of young men who claim adherence to the Christian faith. The indifference Of their adherence is in marked contrast to what I observed in the University of Cairo, WI ere are thousands of youths Moslems in name, and also in spirit.
 In Damascus, in Aleppo, in Broussa and in many other cities of the near east, I have often been held up in front of bazaar by a fish-net drawn across the entrance. On inquiry I was told, "The master has gone to pray" Five times a day through the Moslem world the muezZin, or call to prayer, echoes from it's minarets, and wherever they may be the faithful bow themselves Before sights like these bare my head and return to our superficial western cities with less of boasting and pride of spirit.
 Two generations ago Emerson was writing his famous essays, in which we read the name of God every page. In these more superficial times we have not gained by our indifference to that
