TWO POWERS MORE FLEXIBLE THAN ONE
New York Herald-Tribune)

This is an age Of experiment with power. New
fuels like powdered coal, new types of steam boilers.
new motors operated by oil, crude oil or alcohol or by
gases like the ethylene proposed by German aircraft
experts-all are under trial in one part or another of
the world. In Ireland there is a project 10 produce in
dustrial power from the peat deposits of the boys. A
new kind of windmill has been invented in France for
Turing power out Of the air. Lieutenant Commander
Lybrand Smith, of the United States Navy, has pro-
posed q wave motor which has aroused favorable com
nent. There is even under test in England q steam
boiler in which the flame burns within the water it.

pertinent with steam and electricity combined in a
single portable power plant, as exemplified in the new
liner. California, now in port in New York. to be
initiated into the coast service between here and Pa
cific ports.
To the lsyman it may seem a foolish complication
20 fill a steamship with electric machinery when a
steam engine must be taken along also to furnish the
electric power. Why not use the steam engine alone
and attach it directly TO the propeller shafts? The
reason lies in the greater ~flexibility Of electricity. A
storekeeper might weigh out quinine, sugar and coal
all on the same scales-even the coal in small packets
like a drug. Obviously this would not be efficient,
but it is not unlike the status of steam engines on a
liner. The power is varied with too great difficulty to
suit the varying needs Of navigation. Sudden large
demands for power are difficult to meet. Alternative
periods of lower power do not yield the possible econ
omies. Greater ~flexibility is not the only benefit
claimed for the steam-electric drive. but it is enough
to make it worth testing in commercial service, as it
has already been tested with success in ~warships.
Increasingly the problems of power and the sue
cesses Of power production are in the conversion OF
one kind Of energy into another. New fundamental
sources Of power are improbable unless the atom is
unlocked and that seems far ahead. Practical improve
ments to be expected are in ways Of converting cleo
tricity into light, or motion into chemical energy, or
heat into electricity, and SO on.

The World and All
By Charles P. Driscoll

Somebody is always compiling lists of the Seven
Wonders. Why seven? Well a thousands years or
more ago best minds were convinced that there were
special mystic virtues in the numbers three and sew
en-. Any catalog that couldn't be compressed into
three units was expanded or confined to seven.
So the best minds agreed upon the Seven Won
ders of the age. A great statue, a fine terraced garden
and other such gigantic physical creations were listed.
You've read the list may times. Moderns of a century
ago liked liked 70 follow the ancients as closely as
possible, so lists Of the Seven Wonders Of the modern
world were compiled, and these included such objects
as London Bridge, Niagara Falls and the Leaning
tower of Pisa
see no reason Why we need confine ourselves to
any ancient mystical numbers. Here are the wonders
of the modern world, as I see them:
Niagara Falls, Woolworth Building. Eifel Tower.
Will Rogers, vaccination, the airplane, Charles Lind
bergh, Pixies Peak, Roosevelt Dam, the Holland Tun-
mel, H. L. Mencken, the Panama Canal, World Almanac.
Victoria Falls, John Mccormack. the Golden Gate. the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine, insulin, the Upper
fastening device, the linotype, the zepplin, tn radio.
the telephone operator, Knut Hamsun, Aldous Huxley,
the Fundy tides, the stethescope, the bronchoscope.
raincoats, the Saturday Evening Post, the five-and-ten
stores, the department stores, Henry Ford, the moving
picture camera and protector, the rebuilding of Tokyo.
the electric light, the electric sign, the University "
Chicago, the American newspaper, the rotor ship. the
motor ship, the Leviathan, the Oxford English Die
Itionary, the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. the soda
fountain, the American bath tub, the vacuum sweeper,
the Bell Telephone system, the submarine telegraph
cable, the American hotel, the apple pie, modern book
James Branch Cabell. the Grand Canyon,
the big trees Of California, the textile industry, ether,
quinine, and the gasoline engine.

The Nation VIII Go Riding

According to preliminary estimates OF this years
notorist tourist business, made by the American Auto
rnobile Association, more than 100000 over one
third the population Of the nation, will take vacation
motor tours during 1928.
These tourists will spend freely, and the associa-
zion estimates the staggering sum of SS,500,O0oO00 will
be expended by the motor vcaaticnists.
The associations estimate for 1928 is based on a
detailed study of figures for the 1927 season, with an
allowance of 10 per cent increase. which is about the
normal growth Of the gigantic industry Of motor tour
inc. During 1927 approximately 100000 people in
100000 cars, took to the highways and byways in
the search for relaxation, pleasure and sport.
Statistics gathered by the association show that
q, ooo 900 campers were included among this tourist
horde: that approximately 100000 registered at
hotels and tourist homes and camps. Resort hotels
.howed an average business increase Of 1s per cent,
Breaking all previous records.
The statistics show there was an average of four
r.y.ons TO the car, that the average daily expendi-
fure Of each tourist or vacationist was $3.50, and that
the vacation period averaged ten days.

PERMANENT PEACE PROPOSAL DISCUSSED
Nv William 2 Castle II

William Richards Castle, Jr, assistant Sec
rotary Of state, was born in Honolulu in 1878. He
was graduated from Harvard in 1900. In 1906 he
accepted the post Of assistant dean Of Harvard Col
iege where he remained till 1913. Castle was ap-
pointed director Of the bureau Of communication,
American National Red Cross, in which capacity
he served from 1917 to 1919. In 1919 he became
chief Of western European affairs division of the
State Department and later was appointed assist
ant secretary of state by President Coolidge.)
! believe that when the pursuit of peace becomes
a fad, the cause Of peace is injured. There are many
altogether good and otherwise intelligent men and
women who believe that when once an ideal has been
writtn into law or into a treaty, it becomes an in
violable principle.
There are many, for example. who believe that IL
the United States signed agreements with other ma
tons to outlaw war, or treaties guaranteeing that I'm
der no circumstances should we 20 to war, there would
be no war. But this is to ignore realities, to ignore
human weakness, to miss the fact that nations are not
sublime moral entities, but rather groups Of fallble
and passionate human beings, or as Mr.. Hoover once
admirably expressed the idea, national character is
the sum total Of the moral fibre Of individuals"
Permanent peace cannot be achieved by waving a
magician's wand; it is the result of the growth of
character and Of understanding, Of the gradual elm
ination of the causes of international misunderstood
ing, OF willingness to let others live their own lives as
they see fit, so long as their choice does not interfere
with the happiness of the rest of the world, of a con-
sistent and unselfish support Of national rights.
Every fair-minded person knows that the United
States has not the smallest desire to 90 to war with
anyone. And beyond this negative statement every
person knows also that the United States
is determined to maintain an honorable peace with all
the world. The department Of state exists largely
for the purpose Of maintaining this honorable peace
and our efforts along this lire cannot be measured by
proposals for arbitration treaties or for pacts to pre-
vent war.
