WHAT HAPPENED THEN By Mary Graham Bonner

Well, I call that pretty bright" said John to the Little Black Clock. who had taken them back to the time when James Watt was dis covering how to make an engine go by steam.
 "Yes, call that pretty bright, 3 he continued, ito watch a kettle on the stove and to think of making an engine from it"
 Shall we stay around these in- teresting years and see some more things happen?'
 "Oh, yes,' cried John. T like engines pretty nearly better than anything, and Peggy likes them too. Don't you, Peggy?"
 "Yes, John lets me play with his trains sometimes, and I know all about signals and everything" Peg gy answered.
 The Little Black Clock and John and Peggy saw all sorts of wonder ful things happen.
 The Little Black Clock kept turn ing the time ahead from the, day when they saw the kettle with it's boiling water to the days and the months and years which followed with all the amazing things that happened.
 They saw the first steam engine of all It couldn't go, but it's wheels kept turning around. They started to laugh at first, but then they remembered all of this had been the beginning of great trains.
 Then they saw the first real loco- motive. How funny and old and little and toy-like it seemed. Then the Little Black Clock brought them back to their own country, and they saw a man whose name was Fulton-so the Little Black Clock said-take the engine James Watt had invented and make it turn big wheels in boat.
 And all of this came from some one watching a kettle with boiling water" said the Little Black Clock
 Tt was good thing he wasn't in too much of hurry for tea that day" Peggy said, "or he would have taken the kettle off before he did.
 "Yes," laughed the Little Black Clock, let's be thankful for that!"

NEWSPAPERS FIRST DUTY.

Tho seaHIe Times said that Melville E. Stones ambition was not to convert but to inform the millions of Associated Press readers That is the evidence that Air. Stone was great newspaperman The chief function Of a newspaper is not to con vert but to inform The newspaper that gives it's readers most worth while accurately and with out bias is far better newspaper than the one that has the most powerful and persuasive editorial page That is the present day conception. That is why we are beginning to estimate James Gordon Bennett as a greater neWspapernan than Horace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond Charles A. Dana. The Tri- bune Times and Sun all had much stronger and more consistent editorial pages than the Herald But the Herald was the first great daily paper to accept it's obligation to give it's readers all the news and to give it to them accurately
 It was this thing that caused the Herald to have the largest circulation of any New York newspaper in the days of the elder Bennett and long after ward It was the knowledge that the Herald con tained the news and presented it accurately that caused President Lincoln to rely almost wholly upon it for the news He said at least that he got war news quicker and more reliably from the Herald than from his War Department.
 If to publish the news was the first duty of a newspaper three-quarters of century ago. it is cer- tainly so now. The percentage of the population that is amply competent to form opinions without advice when the facts known is greater now than it was during the Civil War
 And the newspapers that belong to the Asso- ciated Press the greatest newsgathering organiza- tion ever built up today give their readers more and better authenticated news and give it to them quicker after the events than it was possible fol the New York Herald in its palmiest days to do. Ii literally covers the world with reporters who relg- iously adhere to Associated Press principles laio down by Melville E. Stone and which have become the foundation of it's wonderful service to tht public

meet the demands of peace. The burdens of prosperity are already so heavy as to tax to the utmost the genius of engineers.
 Even in this enlightened year of 1929 the economies of the steel plant, have not pene- trated the market place. and the high eln- ciency of the creators of our electrical equip ment is not copied by those who control our city governments. Is not the lesson obvious that engineers are needed m econ omics and politics?
 It is the engineer who has gwen to tiie world of industry a new momentum; he it is who can best chart the trend of the new social order The best engineering is neces- sary in erecting the city of today; why not in governing it? The whole social structure should be built equipped and operated by engineerng standards

ENGINEERS FOR POLITICAL AND
 SOCIAL DIRECTORS.

George Otis Smith, Director of the United State Geological Survey and retiring President of tht American Institute of Mining and Metallic Engineers in address when retiring from the latter position argued that the country needs engineers in govern ment and politics. He contended that we need en gineers to do in social and political affairs wha they have accomplished through their organizing ability and technical training in mining, the indus tries, etc Let MT. Smith say it himself:
 The scale which present-day America
 is living compes the mining engineer to open wide the doors of natures storehouse.
 If we are spending the earths treasure
 much faster than our parents did, what will
 be the annual budget of our children?
 With civilization running at high speed,
 there is increased need of devoting the best
 talent to public welfare. To this end the
 great national engineering societies may well
 assume larger responsibility in keeping

A National Issue.

 There possibly may have been time when bill board advertising served a less useful pur- pose in America, but this no longer is so. The bill board incubus along the highways of the Nation is an ndefensble nuisance. The perfecting of the Nations road systems and methods of transportation the radio and the multiplicity of publications serv- ing as mediums for advertising purposes have made the roadside -andscape-de billboard unnec essary in the scheme of the national life would be the public town crer of the older days of the try's business development. With automobile, and plane and radio and newspaper and good roads there remain necessity for the glaring mon- srosties which continue to scarify the countryside.
 The General Federation of Womens Clubs just has reaffirned opposition to this form of outdoor advertising. Resistance against the prostitution of the beauty of the country by this is growing by leaps and bounds. Not only has it become de- sirable to protect the countrys scenic spots from which business should be excluded, but to insure also the protection of every quiet roadway in the land
 This form of advertising should be done away with, and the General Federation of Womens Clubs l is to be commended for it's fight against national nuisance.

The Relative Importance of Mining as an Art
Engineering and Mining Journal0

tEn9lheerlng and Mllll1g JOuIIlaIJ
 In recent article on Mr. Hoover MT Henry Ford made the following statement: You want a man who knows how the principal arts agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, and housekeeping are related and how they can help each other" It will be noted that no mention is made of mining as one of the principal arts.
 The word art" of course has many meanings, but it's connotation here is made plain by the sixth definition given by Webster systematic application of knowledge skill in effectng a desired result. Also, occupation business requiring such knowledge or skill: craft; as mechanical indus trial artsv The classhcations of various arts under this definition would into the hundreds of thou sands, but is not mining of sufficient importance to warrant MT Ford in extending his list to five, if it would not be proper to substitute mining for any of the four activities mentioned?
