YOU SHOULD WORRY.

A misguided newspaper editor in
the East not long ago advised his
readers never to worry when they
heard of. fire occurring because the
insurance companies are well able
to pay their losses.
1t should be realized by every
one that all property destroyed by
the flames is a definite loss to
society, that insurance companies
can only pay their claims from
premiums collected from the public
and, furthermore, that high losses
make high rates. Consequently,
everyone should worry when fire
breaks out because everyone pays
the bill, either directly or indirectly.
whether insured or uninsured.
This should be obvious since fire
premiums, like taxes, are part of
whether it be baking or candlestick
making-and must be added to the
price of merchandise.
What does this editor say when
fire destroys large factory supply
ing the chief means of livelihood
for a whole town and throws thou
lands of people out of work? Does
he advise the operatives not to wor-
ry about their foed and rent while
waiting wageless for the factory to
be rebuilt, but to place ruby lenses
in their spectacles and join the
Pollyannas? Probably not, yet
such conditions are among the re-
aults of fire. witnessed rarely, but
with regrettable frequency.
Last, but not least. fire causes
thousands of terrible, disfguring
injuries and much loss of life.

A LARGE BUSINESS ASSET.

The value or the tourist business
to a town has been determined in
a general way by reports of the COM
mercial firms of a number of cities
interested in knowing the facts.
Taking the city of Ely, Minnesota,
having population of about 5000,
as an illustration, it was found from
the figures reported by INVENT. five
firms that during the past season the
tourists visiting and passing through
that place left approximately 1885,
600 to the credit of the merchants,
and it is estimated that the sum
would probably reach 100000 if
all these receiving benefits from the
tourists had reported the amounts of
say to this class of patrons. TAX
ing the city Of Ely as basis, it is
estimated that automobile tourists
passing through Minnesota during
the season left in that state some
thing approximating, or exceeding
$50, O00, 900. Ely located in the
extreme northern part of the state,
and seems to be favorably situated
for tourists seeking summer resorts,
which may in part account for their
apparent liberal expenditure of
money.
There is no doubt, however, that
the tourist business is becoming so

Virginia Junior College Five
Forced to the Utmost to Defeat the
Local College Quintet. Score 81 to
20.
Although the Ely team played to
the best of their ability still, the
style of basketball flashed by Vir-
ginia in the second half of the game
was sufficient to overwhelm any col
lege team on the range.
The ability to shoot gave Ely a 6
to 2 lead at the end of the first
quarter, however, Virginia forwards
obtained "lucky-eye" before the
end of the second quarter and as a
result they led ito z at half time.
A basket and free throw by j..
Anderson of Ely gave Ely a one
point lead soon after the play was
resumed. Awakening from the un-
expected assault VIRGINIA became
suddenly endowed with speed, YER

game "out of fire" and to

: THE BUSINESS OF SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH.
by DR.. Roy L. Smithl


The picture of haggard man living in
starvation and pawning his clothes to buy
materials while he pursues his scientific
Investigations may be a true portrait of
workers like Palsy, Arkwright, Watts,
Davy or Goodyear but it is not true today.
Modern research laboratories are high
ly efficient business organizations which
proceed with mathematical accuracy leav-
ing nothing to accident or chance.
Today's scientist is not solitary
worker, following ephemeral inspirations
or splitting acids accidentally with magical
results He is a member of corps Of
experts which proceeds systematically, pro-
ducing results to order.
Great laboratories receive their problems
just as manufacturers receive their orders.
The problem is broken up into its essential
elements, each item being assigned to its
particular department and when all parts
of the solution are ready the whole is as
sempled like an automobile and delivered
to the customer.
For this reason great discoveries can
seldom be credited to one individual. They
are the result of group working together,
consulting, comparing, verifying, eliminat-
ing.
The laboratories of Thomas A. Edison
are not the workshop of one man, but
gigantic plant employing hundreds of men.
The experimental farms of Luther Burbank
employed scores of workers under the sup
erintendence of the plant wizard.
The discovery of the benzine ring, the
complete cycle of elements, the mathe-
NAUTICAL precision of electric waves and a
thousand other scientific facts has made
it possible for the labratory to tear down
or build up at will, producing thousands of
articles of commercial value that nature
has never heard of.
The Standard Oil Company, through
its laboratories, has produced scores of use
full products from the waste material from
crude oil. The packing industry would be
helpless without it's corps of scientists. The
Minneapolis millers maintain group of in
vestigators studying the subject of flour
and baking. Big business, driven by COM
petition and the lure of profits, has done
more for the advancement of science than
any other one agency in modern life.
Any scientist with an idea need not
starye OF pawn his clothes in 1926 hun
dred laboratories will welcome him into a
workroom where every assistance will be
put at his disposal. He need not expert
ment blindly, for a company of trained
workers by notification and Examinations
will find for him exactly the facts of mat
erials needed.
The universe in which we live is order
w. The scientist does not need to trust
to luck 1t is organized on business basis
and he does not need to suffer while he
works.
Scientific research is business, well
paid and we'll provided for.
