AIRMAN AT IS.

C,HRISTOPHER NJ SPENCER, IS years old, several days
~ ago took his first ride in airplane. He liked 1t
so well and was so impressed with the certain future OF
aviation that he said he would turn his wizardbran 10

Wizard brang Yes but. unfortunately since he took
that ride that wizard brain has been stilled by death
spencer was the father OF the automatic machine-its
pioneer inventor
As far back as 1853 he invented machine for wrapping
thread on spoos years later he invented the first
reliable repeating rifle Abraham Lincoln was one of the
first men spencer taught TO his new gun. Later he
brought out the automatic screw machine. All Della
wareans have benefited through his inventions.
Like all inyentions the automatic machine is the prod
uct Of Of thousands Of Inventors Spen-
GER though lis father for he put 1t on practical
basis
The automatic machine is mans greatest success at
handling matter and changing its shape without contact
with human hands
An operator feeds steel bar into machine, then
walks away The machine automatically converts the
bar into pieces Of any desired shape-cuts the right
length drills holes threads, reams and even as
sembles many parts into one device.
BY the automatic machine, commodities like cigarettes
and breakfast foods can be manufactured, packased
labeled and sealed--al without coming in contact with
human hands
A couple OF centuries ago, that would have been called
black magic sorcery.
Only mechanics can comprehend the tremendous nnu
ence that the brain OF this man. Spencer has had

Inventors will extend his original ideas until entire fac
tories will be automatic Coal, lumber pig iron, see

part OF the blame for voluntary
wasteful restriction OF output. The
Hoover report cites numerous in
stances in which unions. notably in
the building trades. have prevented
use of modern devices. This unions
try to multiply the number Of
workers on simple jobs and to re-
strict employment of apprentices to
a number far below the actual need.
The engineers charge half Of the
total responsibility for waste in in
dustry to unwise management and
quarter of it to labor.
The report shows that strikes
and lockouts are not the sole or
most important cause of waste.
They appear rather as symptoms of
Industrial illness than as the result
Of malicious intent. This is illus
trated by the fact that most strikes
occur in seasonal industries. In
these industries work is irregular
and often done under unfavorable
conditions.
BY far the most important con-
clusion in this report relates to the
AaAbt Hia1t III Htdiln nOiQN IN III
dustrial waste. Fully five times
more is lost through illness than
through strikes and lockouts. On
the average illness withdraws from
productive labor 3,O0O.OO workers
every working day Nearly half of
this illness, it is estimated. could
be prevented or cured through sim
pie precautions and treatment
Accidents too are an element of
waste. The $4,000 industrial acci-
dents each year which result in
death and the $4,000 involving at
least four weeks disability repre-
sent an expenditure Of 100000
600. Ten per cent. of labor cost in
the building trades is due to acci-
dents. Insurance authorities esti-
mate that fully rs per cent. Of these
could be prevented.
The keynote OF the report is that
employers and managers. labor and
the public must get together and
through their combined efforts help
to eliminate waste.

This is a great gain--a victory for

alton to establish in this country a

are impatient OF proposals TO have

be driven still further into politics
by vote chasers seeking for their

when in that way the Federal Re-

Il will be a damage and a danger to
American institutions, American bus

In the name OF the agricultural in

banking machinery of that State
using It in defiance Of the rules OF
sound banking to keep themselves
in Office, while protesting to benefit
the farmer, and nobody knows bet

United States what befell the North

North Dakota farmers dependent

Waste In Industry
(From the New York Herald }

A recent International study OF
waste in industry made by the
Federation, Of Engineers on the
initiative OF Herbert Hoover puts
strikes in their proper place as a
factor of waste, but they are only
one OF several causes which to-
gether make American industry the
most extravagant in the world.
Experts in eight basic departments
OF industry after detailed investiga-
tons reached the conclusion that
management. workers, and consum.
ing public together share the re-
sponsibility for existing conditions.
The waste these engineers de-
scribe has assumed proportions
which put this problem on a level
with oppressive taxation. extrava-
gance in the public service and
other well recognized evils which
contribute to our economic malad
Justment. None OF the factories
visited could show a record Of 100
per cent. efficiency. Out OF a pos
sible 100 causes Of waste, no fac
tory suffered from fewer than 26.
while the average was 6S.
In some factories, notably in
those producing clothing and shoes
engineers found the output reduced
by half becaue there was no steady
flow Of materials from one bench
to the next. Shoemakers, for ex-
ample, because of lack OF syste-
matte dispatching, spend about a
third Of their working time idle at
their benches. In the clothing and
shoe industries and in the building
trades production is entirely closed
down for more than a third of the
year
Faulty machine installation is a
cause Of much waste. Most fac
tories, like most kitchens. are too
large for their business. Others are

due to insufficient wood racks for

The costs OF production in the

operators assert that there must be
wage adjustments before prices can

not seem seriously to dispute this.
No the issue is between coal con-

helpful for the spokesman OF the
miners to open the discussion by
saying that he must have his exact

let the nation freeze.

Federal ReSerUe In Politics
.From the New York Herald .

The majority Of the country's pop
ulation is disturbed, and very much
disturbed, over the forcing OF a
farmer into the Federal Reserve
Board. To this majority it looks as
bad to have him forced in by one
method as to have him forced in by
another method, when the reasons
for forcing him in is chiefly If not
solely, that he is a farmer.
But nobody could make a greater
mistake than to think that the
general public feels as it does feel
about this situation because Of
lack of sympathy with the Ameri-
can farmer On the contrary. public
sentiment was never more sensible
OF the all important need of agricul-
tural prosperity as the rock bottom
basis Of general prosperity than il
is now.

turing commercial and financial
States is we'll aware of the vast loss
and terrific hardship put upon the
