TEAMWORK

lone of the best definitions of civ
ilization,' said DR.. Thomas Nixon
Carver of Harvard university, as the
art of living together in large num-
bers." We cannot conduct ourselves in
the manner that we could if were
living alone. In other words we must
be considerate of others. We must
have laws to regulate the ever in
creasing population.
If we are going to live together in
large numbers we must manage to
produce enough in relatively small
areas to support those numbers. This
requires organization and teamwork.
And there can be no effective team
work except when people will consent
to work together under one set of
rules or laws. Amy individual or in

PAYING ITS WAY

Although the hurricane which was
recently reported to be nearing Miami.
Fla. did not hit as was first predicted,
it nevertheless goes to show that the
weather department, maintained by
the government, is worth its cost to
people in the various walks of life
in this country from the farmer to the
aviator.
1t will be remembered that a ter
rible storm struck that part of Flor
ida last year causing destruction to
property amounting to millions of
dollars and killing. many people, The
seeming proportions Of the storm this
year as charted by the weather de-
partment was of the first magnitude
and its path would have undoubtedly
shown much destruction.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed
man played for the people there and
is playing in the lives of us ALL
Those of that section were warned
of the approach of the storm and they
had ample time to get to places of
more protection, many hundred farm
ers vacated the everglades where
such destruction and loss of life re-
suited last year. Although it proved
to be a false warning this time not
because of the absence of a storm
but because of the storm changing
its path at the last moment.
The weather report has been a
help in the storm centers and it is
a help to us here. 1t accurately maps
the weather conditions several hours
in advance thus helping pleasure
seekers as well as industry.
Not long since and even at times
now the weather man is the object
of much joking but nevertheless, in
fun or in all seriousness, he and his
science are performing an everyday
service to us that is certainly paying
its way.

SCIENCE AGAIN HAS CONQUERED

1t has just been announced that ayi-
atoms enemy, fog, has been conquer
ed. Lieut.. James H. Doolittle started
from Mitchell field, Long Island in a
plane with a covered cockpit, flew a
15-mile course and landed again with
out seeing the ground. The flight
was made under the same conditions
as would accompany dense fog and
the pilot had only his Illuminated
instrument board to refer to, contain
ing among the other intricacies. an
altimeter. horizon finder and a radio
direction finder.
Heretofore flying conditions in a
dense fog were anything but desirable
and many disasters occurred while
landings were attempted. With the
projection of this new device, which
seems assured, aviation will advance
one more step toward successful
commercial realm.
1t is a remarkable accomplishment
indeed to perfect device that will
enable an aviator to ascertain the eX-
act distance and the exact location
from his landing field without the aid
of ground markings and to the point
of accuracy that will prevent the
bump and crash that would come to
him through hitting the ground too
suddenly. But this is only another
of the many accomplishments of
scientific research in this age of much
achievement.

INSIGHT AND UNSEEN
(The Mile Laos messenger.)

Among the unpleasant lessons of
boyhood that we remember none is
more vivid than that of being cheated
out of new jackknife that had been
given us. 1t was good knife, with
two blades, the first we had ever
owned. and we showed it proudly to
our schoOlmates. Older boys prompt
ly wheedled us into trading knives
''unsight and unseen" and after two
or three trades we found ourself with
nothing but an old knife handle to
show for our shiny new knife.
The objection on the part of tariff
beneficiaries to having their income
taxes scrutinized in relation to their
requests for higher duties reminds
us of this early business transaction.
These men come before the repre-
sentatives of the people asking for
laws that will enable them to exact
from us higher prices for the goods
we must buy from them. In return
for this privilege they make vague
promises of benefits to be returned in
increased buying power for those
who must purchase the products of
the FARMS and equally vague hints
of industrial expansion that is to con-
fer benefits on all of us. The thing
they ask us to hand them in this
blind trade is clearly known. 1t is
our money, the money that we must
spend every day for the necessities Of
life. That which they propose to give
us in exchange is not so clearly visi-
BILE. Former trades of this kind have
brought us multimillionaires in in
dustry and mortgage foreclosures on
the farms. Promises now are no
more definite than heretofore.
1t seems quite reasonable that We,
as represented by our senators and
congressman, should know all we can
about these people who ask us to
trade with them, and the amount of
profit they are now taking from us
is surely a most important matter.
Let us no longer trade "unsight and
unseen

With Shearer working in behalf
of shipbuilders and getting good pay
Tor at least part of his pay) for
spreading propaganda, helping to
spoil the disarmament conference and
maintaining strife, fear and hatred
between nations, it reminds us that
Congress ought to be able to take
the profit out of preparedness by pro-
viding for the construction of all
naval vessels and the production of
all war materials in government
owned plants. For years this policy
has been advocated by progressives
with the backing of some of the ablest
officers and technical advisers of the
army and navy. And if the profit is
taken out of this war business there
will be much less of it.

MAKING AND BREAKING GOOD
WILL
Duluth News Tribune)

Colonel Lindbergh, accompanied BY
Mrs. Lindbergh, combination that
should appeal to the romantic Latin
temperament, has made another tour
into South America by way of the
West Indies and the Caribbean, blaz-
ing new air mail routes and like his
first trip to that region, carrying on a
mission of good will.
A year and half ago Lindy made
his first tour to the countries to the
south, and some nine months ago
Hoover also made a tour of good will
among our southern neighbors. The
good will effects of those visits, how
ever, so noticeable at the time, have
since been largely nullified by the
provisions of the proposed tariff bill
framed by congress.
Mexico, Central and South Amer
lean countries and the West Indies
feel, and not without reason, that they
are getting the worst of bad bar
gain. This country has raised bar
riers against products from those
countries and they resent it. And
this great potential selling market
is in danger of being lost to the Unit
ed States because these nations do
not feel like buying from country
that will not buy from them. Euro
pean countries are making reciprocal
agreements with South America that
bid fair to capture a large part of
that trade.
Congress can destroy good will
faster than our good will ambassadors
can build it up.
