SAYS:

T IKE every other sea disaster,
l. that of the San Juan leaves a
lot to be explained. Forty-two
people were saved, but it is not
known yet how many lost their lives.
Quite few, we are told, purchased
tickets at the last moment, and for
one reason or another may have
failed to get their names on the list.
The captain and officers of the oil
tanker S. c. T. Dodd, which
rammed the San Juan, say she
failed to understand their signals.
Testimony before the United States
board of supervising inspections
suggests that had the vessels main
tanned the course they were fol-
lowing when the lights Of the San
Juan first were sighted, there would
have been no collision.

Times Have CHANGED

T ABOR day first was proclaimed
L. forty-eight years ago. Since
that time there has come a pro-
found change in the prevailing idea
of what constituted, or more &C
curately perhaps, what was essential
to, prosperity. Forty eight years
ago, thrift was considered the
fundamental of business or financial
success-thrift, as symbolized by
boarding money on the one hand,
and preventing others from get
ting it on the other.
The thought that people could
make themselves prosperous only by
sharing their good fortune with
each other was considered absurd
especially by the so-called captains
of industry.

Sometimes for Profit

TT goes without saying that the
l. sea is hard taskmaster and
that those who follow it face prob
lens and difficulties which ordinary
folks are in a poor position to ap-
preciate, much less to solve. At
the same time many sea disasters
leave the impression that they we're
due to nothing more mysterious
than carelessness, or negligence.
Neither are the carelessness and
negligence always traceable TO the
weakness of human nature, but
sometimes appear to be the by
products of a system designed for
convenience, or profit.

Good Assignment

DUT chiefly I was interested in
ID the fact that the tale is in GER
tain phases an photographed
novel. Floyd Gibbons has adopted
the convenient device of making
himself the war correspondent whose
fortune it is to witness f1rst-hand
all the most important engage
ments of the new world war.
Indeed, after the fall Of Kara
khan it is Gibbons who is ap-
pointed to write the story Of the
Red Napoleon's life and campaigns.
This device has aroused resent
ment IN the breasts of several re-
viewers. I read in their criticisms
that it is egotistical for an author to
make himself the hero of his own
novel.
Now, this touches me more close

Labor Does Its Part

THE labor department also has
l. done much to make room for
the inventions and innovations
which have wrought such change
in living conditions, because it has
helped to create a market, with
out which they would have offered
little promise of commercial success.
If we had to depend on rich people,
there would not be as many tele-
phones in this country as there are
today, or automobiles, or radio sets.
If these devices had not been ex-
plotted so successfully, it would be
much harder to get money for cir
planes and other startling innova-
tons.

SCIENCE
One By One the Daring
Dreams of a Generation
Ago Become the Common
place Events of Today.
BY DAVID DIETZ.

TINE busy Londoner now can
l. board an airplane at the close
of his work day and land in Paris
in time for dinner. After dinner he
can attend the theater and night
club and be back in London by
plane before sunrise.
A similar service makes it possible
for the Partisan to spend an eve
ming in London. The new service
has been organized by Picadilly, q
London magazine which maintains
a travel bureau for the services OF
its readers.
One by one, the daring dreams OF
the novelties of generation ago
become the commonplace events Of
today.
Gilbert D. Fish, consulting struc-
tural engineer of the Westinghouse
Electric Company, says that build
ings 1000 feet high will rise in New
York in the near future.
Commenting on new methods for
joining Orders by electric welding,
he says, LAS far as engineering is
concerned, there is almost no limit
to the size of buildings that can be
constructed"
The Chrysler building in New
York, 308 feet hight, now is the
worlds tallest building, but the
Crane tower, under construction in
Chicago, will be $50 feet high when
completed.
Another dream soon to be real
lied is that of floating islands on
the Atlantic to serve as airplane
landing stations and summer re-
sorts.

HAPPINESS

L that the world thinks only OF
size and speed-bigger skyscrapers,
bigger airplanes, bigger airships and
longer flights.
The Mauritania battles the Brenl-
en- for the steamship record. The
Graf Zeppelin is sailing around the
world.
But human happiness follows in
the wake of these things, whether
the pessimist will admit it or not.
Superstition retreats before the
electric light and better transporta-
ton methods.
Science has conquered plaques
and dread diseases.
The average man today has bet
ter chance of long life than did an
emperor five centuries ago. HIS
house is better lighted and better
heated.
Express trains and refrigerator
cars bring delicacies to his table once
beyond the reach Of king.
And, above all things, the tri-
unnphs of science are stimulating
to the mind.
Once man groveled before inn
aginary COLLINS which he thought
inhabited the waterfalls. Now he
harnesses the falls to turbine and
uses its power to generate cleo
tricity.
; The art and poetry and litera-
ture of tomorrow will find its great
est inspiration in today's scientific
achievements

Seadronne

A sEADROME or floating island
"A has been invented by Edward
r. Armstrong, head of the mechan-
ical experimental section Of the Du
Pont company
1t is to be tested by a series Of
elaborate experiments in the Chesa-
peake bay next month. The model
is to be SIS feet long.
If tests are successful, a full
sized seadrome, capable of being
used as a landing field by an air.
plane, will be built and anchored
about 400 miles off the United States
coast, halfway between New York
and Bermuda
The seadrcme consists of huge
platform mounted on pillars. At the
bottom of these pillars are floats
which sustain the weight of the
platform.
The floats do not remain on the
surface of the water, but sink GER
tain amount. The pillars are high
enough to keep the platform out Of
reach of the waves.
The inventor claims to have
worked out the balance in such
way that the seadrome will not rock
to any extent in stormy weather
and will not be subjected to excess
sive strains.
A series of such platforms strung
across the Atlantic would supply a
series of landing spots for trans
Atlantic planes.
1t may be, however, that the sue
cess of the refueling experiment OF
the Spokane Sun God will point the
way to another system.
Refueling planes might be sta
toned on the seadromes, ready to
carry gasoline aloft to huge pas
senger planes making nonstop
flights over the Atlantic.
