y HE nature of quicksand and the meth

dE nature or quicksand and the meth
DDS OF controlling it have been dis
cussed exclusively recently by a
Canadian contractor of thirty years' ex-
perience.
Contrary to popular impression, quicksand
Is not material, but condition Of a ma
terial which under different conditions may
possess quite different characteristics. Any
granular material may become quicksand II
there is an upward movement of water
through 1t sufficient to lift the particles and
reduce friction between them. The condi-
ton of quicksand will be produced when the
volume of the contained water approaches
an excess of the volume of the normal voids
Coarse sand and gravel can be quicksand IL
the water inflow Is at high velocity, but
naturally fine grained sand displays the
quality Of quicksand much more readily.
The remedy for quicksand conditions In
foundation work is to restore the ground
water to its normal level Quicksand rarely
occurs in nature, and its appearance Is al
most always due to the ground water dis
turbance caused by the work, which can be
minimized by more scientific methods Of
handling.
Fine wet sand will carry as good load
as coarse grained sands. The former has

MASTERS and unable to carry on after
their fathers. they are better"
This is the way c. B. Fowler, assistant
secretary of the New York University's
School Of Commerce and Finance in Wash
ington Square, speaks of the generation of
young men who are about ready to begin
their work in the business world. AS he
has seen and taken stock of 5000 who have
enrolled this year, and as he has had ex-
cellent reports Of their immediate prede-
cessors-the recent graduates of the school
he feels that in justice he must speak in
the highest praise of the young men of
the day.
More Than 10000 Youths
Have Taken the Courses
Our pupils come from all over the
world. San Francisco sends us many, and
Western colleges, like the Northwestern
University, send us yearly their graduates
who want business course. At least
100000 young men have passed through
this school since 1t was organized in 1900,
and one-tenth Of this number have borne

Mainly these have specialized in account
ing, economics, social and public finance,
while others have satisfactorily completed
courses In business management, adver.

are thoroughly grounded in business Eng
lish.

! ETTY JANE HAMILTON, educational

* prodigy of New Castle, Pa, who
- entered Westminster College, at Nev
Wilmington, Pa, as freshman at the age
of Is years, is probably the youngest fresh
man to enroll in any college in the United
States this fall.
Miss Betty Jane was graduated from the
New Castle High School last spring at the
age of 10 years, younger by two years than
any other student who had ever been grad
uated from the four year course here. In
graduating at the age of IL and in entering
Westminster at the age Of 13 she eclipses
the record made by her brother Edmund.

Castle High School at IA years and entered
Westminster as freshman In the fall of
the same year.
Miss Hamilton, in addition to- finishing
the high school course here at such youth
full age, found time to indulge In other
activities that keep her from being "book
wornl.' She is quite an able musician. and
in addition TO her studies she carries on her
musical education work.

"Basically man has two appetites: his
body appetite, where he has to have a bal.

to his own satisfaction. The feeding Of
the psychic self with achievement has got
to be done. Mr. Owen Johnson is being
great by calling attention to the world Of
a developing inferiority, but an inferiority
according to his own standards"
And then to cap the climax of this far
fetched controversy we have young Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy, declaring that the peace time Stacker
is as grave a menace to America to-day as
was the service Stacker during the war.
1.-THE man who sits back now content
with the laurels he has won or that others
have won for him Is Stacker" Mr.. Roose-
welt is quoted In opening the third conven.
ton Of the American Legion at AsbuTy
Park.
Every American citizen should be In
close touch with the affairs of his country.
America Is like great partnership, and
as partners we should work In unison with
out class distinction as we did in the days
of the war. The future of America lies In
its children, and to make them good citi-

with the man Of past generation who

of sons of self-made men who would have
made success even without the advan
tages which their fathers have offered
them. And the percentage of failures-the
useless, discarded ones-would be nc
greater than you would find in the poorer
classes.
"On the whole, my experience has beer
that the sons OF successful men are q

intelligent and more susceptible to useful
impulses.
But If that weren't the case I'm not
so sure 1t would be unfortunate for society

AS a matter of fact the scarcity of

Thinks Colleges Are Better
Than They Ever Have Been
In response to a query as TO whether
American universities were falling down
in their duty to the nation, as to whether
they failed to inspire men to leadership,
Mr. Beach was firm In his convictions.
81 believe the colleges are better to-day
than they have ever BEEN" he said They
offer more advantages to the student than
they have ever offered before They have
better instructors and better system of
instruction. If the student doesn't profit
by these advantages it is due to him and
not to the college"
With the young womanhood of
America, the much maligned young lady
who has forgotten what dishpan looks
like and knows kitchen only from hear
say information, Mr.. Beach is also ready
to deal leniently.

y TEARLY all artificial gems, that is,
m stones which are really made by
artificial means, are compounds Of
alum crystallized under special conditions.
The metallic salts that are added during
fusion determine whether the stones pro-
duced shall be sapphires, rubies or Oriental
topazes, amethysts or emeralds.
Early attempts to manufacture artificial
gems on commercial basis failed because
of the difficulty in obtaining the tremendous
heat necessary, but the oxyhydrogaa flame
solved the problem, and producing artificial
gems is now an important industry.
The basic material is ammonia alum,
which is converted into calcined alum by
heating 1t. To that is added the coloring
matter in suitable proportions, oxide chro-
MUM for rubies, titanic acid for sapphires.
The finely divided powder Is permitted to
trickle down into the oxyhydrogen flame
which attains a temperature of 1900 de-
grees. The powder fuses into pear shaped
body that weighs from 10 carats to 200.

Inference in Amusement Costs,
But Does Not Blame Them

in matters of amusement there has been
great change, but the present generation
is not entirely to blame for that. 1t does
spend more money in entertaining itself
than 1t can afford. In my young days we
were able to do with simple pleasures
They don't exist to-day and youth II it
has what 1t calls good time has to pay
for its fun In real money and quite a lot
of it, The clerks don't begrudge the money
and In that sense and comparatively they
might be called MASTERS.
"We offer exceptional advantages here,
which accounts for the multitude of appli.
cations for employment; we provide
luncheon at no cost to clerks and we look
after their health, even sending those who
are really sick UP to the sanitarium this
institution conducts at Mount McGregor
For these and other reasons perhaps we
get the cream of youth trying after gradua-
tion to place itself in business
Among our people the old rules prevail,
following those of human nature-we have
the clerks who do what they have to do
and no more, we have clerks who don't do.
even that much and we have few who do
the other fellows work and their own too
In earnestness and application there are
varying degrees, but remember that this
has been true always.
1T must be remembered that the younger
generation gets into business several years
later than the fathers did. 1t has not yet
been possible to put into effect the con-
tinuation system of education whereby
high school boys will be obliged to keep
up their studies. but this system is already
working with the graduates of the public
schools. We are keen to get hold of the
better educated and the high school and
college graduates have the best chance OF
employment here: the public school prod.
uct Is not, / regret to say, very high in
quality, but believe 1t is improving.
Now IL We compare the best we have
In the way Of clerks Just beginning a bust
ness career with the best we used to have
when their fathers started, 1t is my opinion
that the new generation brings In equally
good quality.
There are modern conditions, however,
which weigh against them and hold them
back from becoming householders and
fathers of families, but they can't control
such conditions. They are endeavoring to
meet these by means Of double salary.
That is, when a man and woman who have
both been wage earners marry the wife
does not give up her position, but keeps
on working and permits the home-if they
start one--to look after ITSELF The advent
of child changes this but unless things
ease ur bit there will be fewer such ad.
vents.
But that is another and vital theme.
1t is worthy Of considerable thought be-
cause Of its effect on future generations.
We Will be content to talk of the existing
generation, which, repeat, is as ambitious
and as clever as any preceding generation
ever was"

ton. In answer to the main question
whether he had found in this generation
decadent tendencies which would warrant
calling it a waster and unequal to preced-
ing generations this official said,
Human nature does not change to such
an extent even in changing times and
altering social conditions. The boys who
come to us now out of high schools and col
leges measure up to what their predeces-
sors were In intellect, adaptability and
application. Sometimes 1 think the
modern boy is superior to his father at the
same age, He has to be pretty quick to
apprehend and understand, because things
go faster in this age than they did in his
fathers and grandfather's time
