United Effort

THE newest aiIplane motor is n true
1 product of the Syndicated Age
No genius invented it, II is the achieve
ment of corporation, and 800 engineers
co-operated to perfect IT,
Ii realizes the ong-cherished dream of
"a pound to the horsepower" That is
thousand times the efficiency of the horse
itself. and far beyond that of the carrier
pigeon or the eagle.
1t closely approaches the limit of posi-
bility, with materials and forces now
known, but may be scarcely a beginning
of future accomplishments, with new
forces and materials.
It brings near the airplane which will
OUTRAGE the sound of its own motor and
may make practical the helicopter which
can fly straight up or land in n crowded
street without endangering anybody.
1t is the newest mechanical output of
the newest human phenomenon - the
organization of constructive effort.

- SCIENCE --.
PUBLIC HEALTH

THERE is one branch or scientific
1 work in which the United States
has a high reputation the world over.
and that Is in matters affecting the
public health. This reputation is due.
10 a considerable extent. to the at.
tention attracted by health work in
the Panama canal zone.
In this public health work the
United States ranks at least as high
as Great Britain and Holland and
much higher than Germany. France
and other countries. This is the more
remarkable when II is considered that
American physicians and American
methods In medicine do not stand
well In the world at large. The medl.
cal men OF European countries sci.
dom speak favorably Of American
physicians. They are beginning. how.
ever, to grant some credit to Ameri-
can surgeons.
The particular achievement OF
American doctors OF the public health
was In practically stamping out ma.
laria. In the Panama canal zone the
total number Of deaths from malaria
in the last 10 years have been so few
that the disease is not considered a
serious menace. Scientific methods
OF abolishing the mosquito are re.
sponsible.

Wembley's Cost

THEY are fighting now in the British
L parliament, and shouting scandal as
result of the huge financial losses sus-
tanned by the British empire exhibition at
Wembley.
Sir Alfred Butt, conservative, declares
il very grave scandal, attended with
much corruption and demands an audited
balance sheet on the ground that "the
final cost of the exhibition would be found
to be fully f1,000,000 more than the
f4000,00 now disclosed"
The Wembley affair, altho n financial
loss, cannot be considered n failure Even
its most ardent champions could have
hoped for nothing more than lot of
profitable advertising.
If there was graft, of course the graft
ers should be punished. But it was fore
ordained that the balance sheets would
show red"

There are doubtless persons in the world
