Hoover was collecting laundry about the
new campus at Leland Stanford, Clau-
dius Huston was ringing the school bell
and sweeping floors at Valparaiso, the
poor boys college" in Indiana. Both
went far from home to obtain liveli-
hood-Hoover. the engineer, to Aus
tralia and China; Huston, the peda-
gogue, to the then remote city Of
Chattanooga. Each possessed a genius
for organiZation-Hooye in, the forma-
ton Of mining companies; Huston in
ministering to the. financial difficulties
of varied manufacturing industries.
Both eventually became rich. Both got
into politics more or, less by accident.
Each possessed that God-givenj ability
to make other men like him.
Both Are ,Gregarious.
To carry the analogy one step further,
they are both gregarious souls. Hoover
likes to have a crowd around him. When
he Travelled across Europe in his relief
work during the dark days Of war he
was rarely alone. He liked to have the
company of those self-sacrificing Ameri-

bert Hoover's qualifications for the

in the candidates. of men whose Repub-
licanism did not require analysis. But
not very long after their meeting in
1921 Mr.. Huston made up his mind that
some day his new friend would be
President. Since 1923 that idea has In
fiuenced practically all Of Mr.. Huston's
political activities. At first he had ten
tatively set 1882 as the year in which
the goal would be attained, but he was
not found mapping when the opportu-
nifty came to move that date up four
years.
There are many points of similarity
between, the President and his new
political chieftain. Their careers, for In
stance, are somewhat alike, making due
allowance for different professions.
Their modes of living are similar. They
like the same things. Temperamentally,
they are the same sort of men. There

duction of a ton of steel in the same
works has been reduced from $l10 to

with a cost of $50. or slightly less, in
the United States and Germany.
Another indication of increased &C.
tivity along industrial lines Is the in
crease in the number Of applications
for patents for mechanical and other
devices. An official of this bureau,
when asked as to the general quality

that they we're remarkably high and
that the increase did not consist mere

which were entirely useless. The total
number of applications for patents
during last year was slightly more than

Japan Is making industrial progress

Efficiency in production is what the
country needs, In his opinion, and
when the major wastes have been done
away with Japan will be able to COM
pete much more favorably with other
countries because she will still have
a labor supply which will be a great
deal cheaper.
Unemployment Real Problem.
In analysing the industrial situation
in Japan, the increasing unemploy-
ment, especially among the better edu-
Gated classes, Is something which can
not fail to impress the student. Men
with college training are obliged to don
overalls and work for day wages. Far
from deploring this situation, Mr.. Naka-

has been passing, but it should be

This route, If direct, would lead across
the impossible Arabian desert. From the
geographical facts Of the case it had to
take one inevitable course. A glance at the
map will show this. From Babylon the track
led north, up the east side of the desert, then
across going westward, north Of the desert,
then southwark, on the east Of the desert, until
1t finally encountered the Isthmus Of Suez, lead
ing into fabulous Egypt. This route is often
called the fertile crescent.
It is quite a narrow crescent, hemmed In by
the desert on one side and by mountains or the
sea on the other. It was the marching ground
from the remoteSt antiquity for the powerful
armies of Babylon and Egypt. All peoples living
in the vital narrow strip Of territory were likely
to find themselves between the hammer and
the anvil. And of all parts of it, Palestine is
the most precariously placed. 1t is the narrow

of lands separated from other lands;
other cultural areas, by important and
significant carriers. The Central Asiatic
desert and the vast Himalayan Noun
tain system and its rainif1cations
separate it from India and China. The
deserts to the south and west Of Egypt
separate it from the bulk Of Africa.
Thus you have C. huge field of culture,
with different nations and different
cultures interacting among one another.
Looking for the originationS Of civili-
cations and empires in this area you
will observe two interesting points.
There are two superb river systems,
river valleys-those Of tie Nile and the
Euphrates. Each has regular floods,
natural irrigation and renewal Of soil,
with the richest of agricultural lands.
Civilizations have a way Of Springing
