CHANGES in OCCUPATIONS

Those who may have accepted the
delusion that the enterprise Of this
generation faces less of inducement
and opportunity than was afforded a
previous generation will do well to
consider an analytical cross-section
Of occupational life recently made by
the National Industrial Conference
Board.
As q result Of this the Board de-
clares that: industrial development
in the last fifty years has multiplied
many times the opportunities for the
individual of gaining a livlihood or
amassing wealth." The investigation
reveals the fact that there has been
immense increase" in the number of
people in manufacturing and me-
chanical industries, IS per cent in
the past half century, while farmers
and farm laborers declined more
than rs per cent probably in part
due to the increase in farm ma
.chinery, and also to consolidation of
farm holdings.
Since 1870 there has been an in
crease in the number Of railroad
workers of 220 per cent but mean
while a decrease of nearly two
thirds in the number of sailors and
deck hands. Fifty years ago black
smiths numbered 3,677 per million
inhabitants where now they number
but 1S47. The housewives a half
century ago could find domestics,
there being 25,337 per million in
habitants where in 1920 there were
but 1926. Nowadays horse travel
belongs in the class of luxuries. The
hairdressers. manicurists. ct cetera
have multiplied nearly four times.
Small business concerns give place
to bigger with more work for book
keepers and clerks. In 1870 clerical
office employees numbered 1926 per
million inhabitants and in 1920 they
were 26,691 per million and the num-
Der of plumbers had increased more
than six times, to say nothing Of
their wages. Then, too. the people
nowadays may find consolation in
the decrease in the number Of ply
sicians and surgeons. these in 1870
being 1913 to every million of in
habitants, while in 1920 there were
but 1872 to the million inhabitants.
1t would be interesting to know how
large might be the increase in nurses
and health propagandists in the last
half century; also just how much
more the people of today know about
health as compared with what they
knew fifty years ago. It is safe to
assume if we know this We might
derive considerable encouragement
from the knowledge.
It clearly is evident from the facts
that those Of the present generation
seeking from the existing conditions
excuses for failure will find statistics
do not bear them out. 1t is true we
have become more dependent on one
another and possibly there now Is
less Of opportunity for the indi-
vidual Of mediocre ability to "go 1t on
his own" with his little farm or busi-
ness, but If willing to work there Is
more assurance of a better livelihood
than was afforded him from his indi-
vidual ventures and If he but will do
50 he may develop his individual
initiative in other ways. having more
of leisure from the daily toll than
he once had.

Nicholson said that If finally, to make

1--WE In America are between op-
posing theories. First, there is the
theory of individualism, that in it's ex-
treme form would lead to anarchy
Second, the other theory magnifies
society at the expense of the individ-
ual and leads to socialism in various
forms.
THE true American theory of gov
ernment is a golden mean between
vide for the full exercise and devel-
opment of the individual without over
restraint. On the other hand, we try
to preserve society from exploitation
by greed, from the lust of cupidity,
and from disintegration by vice and
crime. We regulate the social order
by popularity adopted laws.
Rigid Limit Set.
"On this principle we have con.
stantly said that the rights of the in
dividual end where the rights of So
ciety begin. The principles in the
regulation of child labor laws. public
health. suppression of vice, workmen' S
compensation. human slavery are so
well established that the talk about
personal liberty should really be
treated as a huge joke by patriotic
Americans.
The prohibition legislation, enacted
step by step. by local option and then
the overwhelming vote of the people,
is the most thorough piece of con-
formity to the American ideal OF lib
erty in the history of the Republic.

up to 81. The lowest rate in the five
wet years was Al in 1915. How much
of this increased percentage in 1922
and 1923 is due to synthetic liquors is
hard to estimate, but the fact is that
there is not left any OF the old alco-

FOR THE NOTEBOOK

Never tear apart a set made by

The ground of a receiving set is
equally important as the aerial.
The solution Of an alkaline battery

If the parts are properly spaced and

When the ground and lead-in wires
run parallel for any distance, they

Navy REACHES
1000 MILES ON
SHORT WAVE SET
Signals on Plane at WASH
ington Heard at Tam
pa, Fla.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-A dis
lance Of two thousand miles was
successfully worked with short
wave radio set in Navy plane in
flight during a recent test held at
the naval air station, Anacostia, d.
G. Signals from the plane, a Navy
DH-4B type, were heard in st.
Paul. Mimi, and Tampa, Fla, but
were not heard at stations much
nearer. The plane was in commu-
nication with the Navy Radio Re-
search Laboratory at Bellevue, d.
c. on 20-meter wave length up to
a distance of sixty miles, at which
point signals from the plane were
no longer heard, later reports tell
ing Of the reception with good audi
bility Of the signals in St. Paul
and Tampa.
Experiments with this type of ra-
dio equipment by the Navy during
the past year have shown that sig
nails on wave lengths below forty
meters have what Is known as a
"jump-over" effect; that is, they
only travel moderate distances, then
disappear for a distance varying
from 800 to 700 miles, reappearing
at distant points.
The light weight transmitter in
the plane used only two receiving
tubes, and the reception of signals
from the set two thousand miles
away is believed to be a record FOR
heavier than aircraft radio equip
ment.
