AUTOMOBILE IMPROVEMENTS

Automobiles have been improved some
what. But they are still driven by very
wasteful engines. One gallon of gasoline
has the energy to carry an ordinary Ford
car 4SO mies-and we get about 16. We
are facing a problem of petroleum deple-
tion, and we must hurry to conserve it
better than we do. One of the reasons
why more economical engines are not de-
signed is because of tendency of the
liquid fuel to "knock" as a result of too
high compression, and engines therefore
are designed to operate under low COM
preston. High compression would be far
more economical-but the racket would
be uncomfortable. Of late it has been dis
covered that the presence of very small
quantity of compounds of certain elements
will decrease and even avoid altogether
the too rapid combustion or knocking. This
was discovered in an industrial laboratory
at Dayton, Ohio, and complete avoidance
of the difficulty was obtained by adding
very small quantity of tetraethyl-lead to
the fuel. This substance has a molecule
consisting of one atom of lead with the
radicles Of four molecules of grain alcohol
attached. 1t is heavy liquid. 1t will
enable manufacturers to design their
engines on higher compression of the
gases and thus to operate more eco
nomically.-Ex.

MAKING 1T "COMPLETE"

Glancing over an advertisement of
food product in a magazine recently, this
sentence caught me fairly 'twixt the eyes:
"This product contains 100 per cent of the
entire kernal of the whole wheat" The
writer of that sentence obviously was de-
termined to put across" the idea of 'abso
lutte and entire completeness" Zone hun
dred per cent" or "entire" or whole"
would not have served him. A solitary
superlative looked cheap to him when he
had others at his command. So he braced
the perfection of 900 per cent" with the
completeness of "entire" and the all
inclusiveness of "whoe" with the COM
forting assurance that no shred of gluten
or particle of chaf would be left out. My
chief objection to such needless verbal
bracing is its implied, if not intended,
contempt for the intelligence of the aver
age reader. Still, as long as we have
artists who paint the lily and artizans who
gild fine gold, doubtless we shall have
writers who heap up a measure of the
absolute.-Ea.

in practically every kind and degree of in
dustrial accident. A simple procedure was
provided for cases of dispute. That saving
was more or less evident beforehand, but
the big item that had not been foreseen
was the indirect result of placing the whole
costs of accidents squarely on the shoulders
of the employers. True, they could pass
on the cost in the prices of their goods,
but also they could save money by reduc-
ing the number of accidents.
The humanitarian motive to prevent ac-
cidents was thus reinforced by a direct
financial motive. 1t was very effective
Manufacturers making safety devices and
guards who could not sell their wares be-
fore 1910 found themselves the proprietors
of thriving businesses after the compensa-
tion laws were passed. 1t paid the en-
ployer to prevent his employees from being
careless. Before the enactment of those
laws it was "none of his business" if the
worker did not want to be careful, but
now it was money in his pocket if he
could educate his force to careful habits.

RESULTS OF EMPLOYERS
LIABILITY ACT

Our States decreed, beginning in 1910
and following one after another until all
but five out of the forty-eight have con-
Cured, that, whether they are responsible
or not the employers should pay the bills
for industrial accidents. Most of the
States have given the employers several
choices of methods of paying, but all the
laws specify when and how much shall be
paid for each kind of accident . The
results of thus throwing the burden on the
employers, instead of apportioning the
cost on the basis of responsibility and set
ting up a governmental agency to ad-
minister it, have been surprising in the
extreme and have taught the world new
lesson in social organization. The num-
Der of accidents and their gross cost to
society has been reduced beyond the wild
est dreams of the original authors of acci-
dent compensation laws. And at the same
time employers have saved money instead
of adding new item to their costs of
doing business as was expected. How was
that result brought about? In the first
place, the expensive legal machinery which
had grown up around the old methods of
taking accident cases to court was elimi-
mated by specifying what should be paid

gown and her wide, bell-shaped sleeves
failed to futter in the breeze. The figure
was still!
The crowd stood for a moment, mute
with wonder and awe; then low murmur
of voices spread over the crowd, and rose
gradually higher as they more fully COM
pretended the miraculous spectacle just
enacted.
The steady rythm of drums now fell
upon their ears. The newsboy's band,
sixty strong, resplendent in Zouave uni
plumed caps, drew nearer. A diminutive
Drum-Major in white and gold, with tall
snow-white helmet, was swinging a gilt
baton as he led. 1t was the return of the
last group of children from the summer
camp inaugurated by Miss True.
A policeman hurriedly approached the
band leader and spoke a few quick and
excited words, pointing as he talked, to-
wards the top of the Courthouse tower.
The Drum Major whirled instantly
about, his whistle rang out its shrill COM
mand the baton came horizontal; and the
band executed fright turn" into line,
facing the Courthouse. Again the whistle
sounded. The shining baton shot upward,
swirling and scintillating in the sunlight
the drums rolled-the descending baton
lit upon the Majors fingers where it
whirled like wheel of gold-the cymbals
crashed-and the stirring strains of "My
Country Tis of Thee" poured out grandly
upon the air.
The crowd turned and stood with barred
heads until the Anthem ceased. Again,
the shril whistles command. The band
executed Squads left" the Majors baton
swung sharply, and pointed proudly for
ward; while the crowd broke forth with
lusty cheers as the band moved onward.
Within the hour, the newspaper "extras"
were announcing -"Figure of Justice re-
appears upon the Court House tower while
hundreds gaze in awe!
Bronze Statue, the likeness of Miss JUS
tice True, mysterious deaconess nurse
known to thousands!
Teeming Multitudes now swarm the
Court House park to view the imposing
Goddess!"
Then followed patrolman Feegan's
strange, wierd narrative of the midnight
decent and disappearance of the "Figure

"In the workshop of my daily life, how
much power am losing from slack belts
of indifference to duty, from needless fric-

thoughts of the wrong kind, from poor
connections of weak-wiled application to

Is it kept clean and white, every corner

too few, or covered with dust and dirt?-

vows witnessed before God-live rightly
deal justly-lest worse fate befall you
Col" she commanded.
The woman and child, followed by the
husband and father, turned and walked
slowly out of the room. Ignoring them,
Justice swept the crowded room with eye
and hand. "Has our conscience become so
scared by these awful things so constantly
before US, that our hearts fail to respond
with helpfulness, kindness, justice and
mercy toward the sinner, the outcast-the
victim of circumstances and the Devil?
That we think of them lightly-in curios-
ity-in amusement? Or do we regard them
merely as just another gone wrong-a case
for the courts-and not a brother or
sister of ours?
"Does it not matter to you, ye attorneys
of the law-only that you receive a fee?
Know ye not that ye shall some day stand
before the great Judge; not as advocates
for others; but to give account of your
selves? What will it matter then, though
you have gained all that the world can
give of fame, of fees, of power and honor;
when, stripped of all these, you stand
naked in soul and hear Him ask-"Why
have you set at naught My Command
ments, and pleaded, instead, those of man
Why have you condoned divorce; legal
lied adultery by marriage; separated fam
lilies; winked at strong drink; lived off
of fees from the fallen, the unfortunate,
the heart-broken?" Make haste to do just
ly; love mercy; and obey thy God; lest
the wrath of Jehovah fall upon you'll"
Then turning to the crowd, she walled
"Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the
prophets and stoneth them that are sent
unto thee! How often would I have
gathered thy children together; even as
hen gathereth her chickens under her
wings; and we would not! Behold, your
house is left unto you, desolate! How long,
o Lord, how long must these things be-"
Her expression became one of unutter-
able sorrow, and tears streamed down her
face. With checking sobs, and with face
buried in her hands, she turned and left
the room. The Court raped for order,
and declared court adjourned. The Judge
entered his chambers with bowed head,
while the crowd, with many gestures and
babbling voices, filed out into the street.
The sonorous, deep-throated chimes of
the tower rang out Suddenly shout
arose. Took," cried the voice, and as the
crowd turned their eyes upward each
gasped in amazement. The bronze figure
of Justice stood again upon the pinnacle
of the tower.
Slowly, the figure raised its arms aloft,
as if in supplicatiop. The folds of her

Discipline First.

The head of a girls boarding school
recently said that the first lesson that
she tried to impress on hen pupils was
that of discipline. She feels that
parents have insufficient control
over young people and that family
government has partly broken down,
so that the first business of such a
school is to teach respect for auth
GRITTY,
The young crowd may look at this
as stern attitude out of touch with
the times. But while modern young
folks are wonderfully bright and
capable, they frequently have more
freedom than they know what to do
with. The wisdom OF past genera
tons said that boys and girls were to
attain their freedom at the age of 81,
but many get it now when they are
half that age. Perhaps self as
sertion for parents is as necessary in
these times as self reliance for
children

Girl, Life in the Country.

A young woman who is organizing
girls club work through the
country towns in neighboring
state, remarked the other day that
she sometimes found the young peo-
Pile dissatisfied with what they call
the dull life Of their home towns.
They wished that they could live
in some city where the organizations
for young women have handsome
buildings and elaborate equipment.
But if these girls realized it, this
young women said, they have far
better chance for enjoyment than the
city girls They do not have costly
equipment, but in the outdoor life of
the country they have wonderful
chance to organize every kind of out
door sport, which the city girls are
deprived of Handsome buildings
are q poor substitute for outdoor
life and sport.
