AID MEN HEAR KLEIN
TALK ON INDUSTRY
New World naturalization At
tributed Largely to Loss Of
Men During War.

Loss Of lsrge numbers of men by the
countries engaged In the World War
has been largely responsible for the new
industrialization of the world, and par
ticularly of the United States, since the
war, DR.. Julius Klein, Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce, declared in speech
before the National Industrial Adver-
tisers' Association at the Mayflower
Hotel last night.
This industrialization phenomenon
has been characteristic of evey post
war period in modern history" DR..
Klein told the advertisers. Losses of
large numbers of men neceSsitated wide
spread substitution of machinery" he
continued. "Harassed government treas
uries are eager for new sources of reve-
nue. and resort to every device to en-
courage potential tax-paying industries.
Grave necessities during war time slim
ulate new industrial activities, many of
which endeavor to perpetuate them
selves, especially through the appeal Of
economic self -sufficiency'
This condition has brought about
numerous synthetic products, and in
many instances they have proved to
be more practicable than their natural
counterpartS, DR.. Klein declared.

REFORM
PROCEEDS SLOWLY
State Department Head
Works to Reorganize and
Coordinate Aides.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Stimson has begun er *
tensive reorganization of the State De-
partment with a view to co-ordinating
the increasing activities of It's various
divisions. But he is going slowly, he
explains, because the State Department
lis the busiest office ever got into In
my life"
The principal result of the reorgani-
zation thus far has been to make the
Undersecretary of State, j. Reuben
Clark, jr.. the nominal co-ordinating Of
ticer, corresponding, as Mr.. Stimson de-
scribes it. to a second in command for
a chief of staff. Mr.. StimSon explained
that in addition to bringing together
the work of the various division chiefs,
the Undersecretary would be in posi-
ton to take up the work Of the Secre-
tary himself in an emergency or during
his absence from the city.
Under the proposed system, the heads
of divisions will be free to consult the
Secretary, although normally they will
work through the Undersecretary. The
system will provide a method of sitting
out for the attention of the Secretary
the more important matters passing
through the department
During the last few days Mr.. Slim
son has set a precedent for Secretaries
of STATE by personally spending some
time i1k1he major divisions Of the de-
partmt ~. talking to their chiefs and
STATS TO learn their problems and the
type of work being done.
He believes some legislation may be
necessary in connection with the re-
organization, but has not decided what
line this should take, and it may be
nothing more than a request for addi-
tional funds.
He also has indicated that he may
establish another precedent for the
State Department, saying he considered
1t the duty of a cabinet officer to go
before Congress personally to present
his departments budget.
In discussing the functions of the
State Department Mr.. Stimson says 1t
is not so much a department that does
things as one which is concerned pri-
marty with ascertaining facts and
representing American opinion all over
the world. guiding and clarifying as far
as possible the relations of America
with other nations.

HEAD OF TEXTILE
GROUP HITS QUIZ
Group From North Carolina
Disappointed at Not
Being Heard.

A group of textile workers from North
Carolina. headed by Carl Reeve. or
ganizer for the National Textile Work
ers' Unicn, is in Washington, but has
been much disappointed at not being
heard by the Senate committee on
manufacturers which is to hold hear
ings on the Wheeler resolution to in
vestigate the textile industries of the
South.
According to Reeve. he telegraphed
the committee that his delegation was
coming and wished to be heard, but
upon arrival, found that the hearings
had been put over
we feel that this Senate investiga-
ton won't amount to anything" de-
clared Reeve THE fact that a group
of Southern textile workers. the only
group of textile workers to visit Wash
ington. was denied a chance to explain
their slave conditions before the Senate
committee shows that the investigation
will be farce.
we came to Washington to expose
before the workers of the North the ter
rible conditions under which workers of
North Carolina work and live and to
request from the Northern workers sup
port in our strike"
Reeve said his group which included
a child IA years old, out on strike
against conditions in the industry, pro-
tested to Senator Overman Of North
Carolina concerning the Senator's state
mentS on wage conditions. The Senator
in recent statement said wages were
about S13 a week, Reeve claimed, where
as the wages, he said, averaged between
So and SO a week.

WOULD AID ELDERS
KEEP YOUTHS PACE
Adult Education Problems
Considered by Institute
Conference Here.

How best to help the older generation
keep intellectual pace with the younger
was a question today before the Insti-
tute on the Library and Adult Educa-
ticn. meeting at the Public Library.
The plight of parents who cannot
meet their college-tr offspring on
common cultural ground was matter
of some concern TO the 100 delegates,
who are readers advisers in various Ii
braries over the country.
At ention at the round table discus
sion3 was directed to the vastly in
creased enrolment at schools and COL
leges, derived from every class, creed
and nationality. The parents, 1t was
pointed out, have no choice but to
equip themselves mentally or fall behind
the younger generation.
The two-day meeting, opening yes
terday, is prelude to the f1fty-f1rst
annual session of the American Library
Association, expected to assemble $500
librarians here MorS'y for a weeks
conference, with h IT IarterS at the
Washington Auditori-r.
The institute has no set speaking
program, but is occupied with informal
discussions of the best means OF guiding
adults in selecting reading matter.
Various phases of this general sub
ject have been discussed under leader
ship of c. H. Compton of the st. Louis
Public Library, who presided at yester-
DAYS session; Charles E. Rush, libra
rian of the Teachers College at Column
bia, and member Of the board of the
institute: M. S. Dudgeon of the Mil
waukee Public Library. end chairman
of the board, and il ION T. Jennings
of the Seattle Pub; Library.
The institute has prepared, after ex-
tensive study, a comprehensive list OF
readable books on such subjects as
psychology. history, music, mythology.
together with treatises on scientific and
commercial topics. The books were
chosen with view to their appeal to
the layman.
Speakers reported a marked revival of
interest, especially since the World War,
in the need for and possibilities of adult
education. That post-school education
is gaining aScendancy in America Is
demonstrated, it was pointed out, by
the formation of many agencies for
adult education, including university
extensions, night schools, correspon-
dence schools, Y. NJ. c. A. and Y. w.
c. A. classes, Americanization classes,
labor colleges and knights OF Columbus
classes.
Modern educational tendencies are
creating a greater demand for books
and a growing need for school libraries.
1t is the function of the library to sup
ply books suited to the needs of its
readers. whether these are vocational
or cultural. recreational or educational,
speakers pointed out.
A marked increase was reported In
the use OF books on a great variety Of
subjects and by a great variety of read
ers, with the per capita circulation on
steady increase.
Since large numbers of Americans.
the Librarians said, never get beyond
the eighth grade, reading is the chief
thing they have learned and If their
education is to be continued it must
be largely through their reading.
