Unemployment Situation is Improved

Less unemployment nationally among engin-
GERS, evidencing improved business conditions.
was reported recently by the American Engin-a
eering Council of the Federated American
Engineering Societies. In statement describ-
ing the situation for the last three months, Wal
ter V. Brown, manager of the federation's en-
ployment service, which covers the entire coun-
try, said that period of marked betterment had
set in.
1.-THE Improvement indicates" the statement
said, shat we are on an up curve, which is very
definite and very progressive, but not sharp. It
is not heavy grade, but it is distinctly encour-
agingi
L. w. Wallace, executive secretary of the fed
GRAFTON, says that engineers look for improved
conditions generally and that they are active in
seeking out the causes of business depression
and in cooperation with other national agencies
in finding remedy.
For the last three months, according to the
federation the outlook has grown more hopeful
Increased employment opportunities prevail rath-
er uniformly in the major branches of engineer
ing. The outcome was unexpected.
Spring construction work, it was said natur-
ally widened the employment field for the civil
engineers, but the advantage which this class
of engineer possesses has been offset by the ra-
dio enthusiasm, which has aided very materially
the mechanical engineers and the electrical en-
gineers, and, according to the engineering fed
eration's records, in about the same proportion.
The federation's unemployment service, in
the conduct of which the big so-called founder
societies share, has placed $40 men in lingering
positions since January 1. At present from 10
to Is professional engineers day are finding
places. Most of these are university and tech
nical school graduates.
The fact that more engineers are returning to
active work, it was pointed out, indicates that
large numbers of men in subordinate positions
are also necessarily obtaining work in the engin-
eering and allied fields.
The tremendous demand for radio apparatus
is exceeding the ability of the manufacturers to
turn it out it is sad and is likely to exercise a
growing influence upon unemployment condi-
| tions.

Hypocrisy in American Life

Civilization in the United States" is the title
of a. recently published book representing the
opinions of some thirty American Investigators
most of them apparently of the younger set of
radical intellectuals Thirty departments Of
American life are covered ranging from phil
osophy and law to music and sex.
The work is devoted to frank dissatisfaction
with American life in general and in particulars.
1t is full of the phantasms and fantastic notions
that only the gray matter of radical intellectuals
can conceive! As far as it goes in this direction,
it is diverting and amusing, provided the reader
has not reached that stage of ossified dignity
where laugh at ones own expense is no longer
funny. Other parts of the work, however, hurt,
with the hurt that only truth can impart.
The editor of these thirty essays in the pref
ace lays his finger on the weakest point in Amer
lean civilization, its hypocrisy His words are
worth repeating.
. "In almost every branch of American life
there is a sharp dichotomy (division) between
preaching and practice; we let not our right hand
know what our left hand doeth. Curiously
enough, no one regards this, and in fact no one
consciously feels this as hypocrisy There are
certain distractions and dogmas which are sa-
cred to us, and if we fall short of these external
standards in our private life, that is no reason
for submitting them to a fresh examination
rather are we to worship them the more vocifer-
ously to show our sense of SIM Regardless, then
of the theoretical excellence stupidity of these
standards in actual practice the moral code re-
solves itself into the one cardinal heresy of being
found out, with the chief sanction enforcing it,
the fear Of what people will say

leans worship mythical eleventh command

Musings for the Evening
SPRING

0FhlN1
Sweet is the smell of grass and clover
To the careless springtime rover.
The daisies and the violets,
That the dew of morning vets;
The sunshine on the breeze-swept
meadows,
The babbling brooks, the sylvan
shadows
These and countless other pleasures
Grant delight beyond all measures
To the thoughtless springtime rover
And the maiden and her lover.
In the fall there are delights;
Sweetest dreams on summer nights;
Winter even has its pleasures,
But of all the seasons treasures
None compares with wealthy springs
Spring is king" the robin sings.
All the seasons bow before him
All the beasts and fowls adore him;
Beauty beams enthroned beside him;
Night reluctant is to hide him.
Children dance among the flowers,
Chasing away the doleful hours.
Spring is fresh and fair as they;
Artless, undefiled and gay;
Blithe as shouting youth at play.
There are fairies in the spring
When the winds are whispering.
You can hear their voices clearly.
Mellow, mystical and CHEEKY.
In the purling streams and rushes,
In the liquid notes of thrushes, :
In the laughing waterfalls,
In the owls nocturnal calls,
In gurgling springs and nodding flow
ers,
And pattering OF vernal showers!
| While pampered life forgets to sting.
And youth and age together sing,
| o let our panegyrics ring
In praise of sovereign spring.
