age OF mechanical devices and have

natural elements are harnessed and
made use of in general production ana
in the establishment Of conditions that
serve to produce whatever Is neces-
sary, convenient and proper Tor the
enjoyment of life. 1t is natural that
men shall look forward to the sQme

enough so that man need not fear that
nature will fail to respond to the
| needs Of men"
