TT SEEMS TO ME By Hf BFo1H

I doubt if the dreamers who
undertook to bring democracy to
the new world ever intended to
perpetuate a system under which
the loyal worker lived like cab
ined slave upon his masters prop
erty.
Nor is the ultimate goal of the
pursuit of happiness a scene in
which the tear stained widow
grasps the hand Of the benevolent
boss and says, Thanks for the cof-
fin, SIR"

When we began to reform the

Remarkable?

THE Manufacturers Record Is
Il quite right in describing this
as a remarkable statement, but it
might do well to emphasize that it
is remarkable chiefly as showing
the muddle-headedness of 156 en-
ployes out of a total of ZOE.
At least, I trust that the Manu-
facturers' Record is not in favor of
this attempt to elaborate the re-
quirements now held necessary for

SCIENCE
Youths With Scientific Train
ing Can Name Their O,Cn
Desires IN the Job Field In
Coming Years.
BY DAVID DIETZ

TALKING movies, transatlantic
l. telephony and radio are de-
handing the services of more young
men with advanced scientific train
ing than the technical schools of
the United States can furnish. &C
cording to Professor Walter l.
Slichter of the department of cleo
trical engineering of Columbia uni
verSity.
Professor Slichter says that every
graduate in electrical engineering at
Columbia this June will have his
choice of from four to seven posi-
tons in research laboratories.
The layman sometimes may ask
the value of all the technical talk
about atoms and electrons and light
waves. The pages and pages of
mathematical material setting forth
new theories about the nature Of
light, for example, may seem Of
doubtful value to him.
But the big corporations of the
United States don't think so. Ac-
cording to DR.. Slichter, young men
just out of the universities with
training in these advanced branches
of physics, chemistry and nnathe-
MATES, have better opportunity
of advancement today than older
men in the field who have had more
experience but less training.
The reason for this is that many
lines of research have become so far
advanced that branches of higher
mathematics, once regarded as pure
" theoretical, are finding daily ap-
plication in them.

Theory Doesn't Work

u ENJAMIN FRANKLIN left two
~ funds of 1000 pounds each to
accumulate for a century.
According to his calculation they
should have amounted to 131, 00C
pounds, but they did not, or any
thing like it.
Figuring out what money will
earn over a given period and MAX
ing it do so are two very different
things.
Theoretically, one dollar placed
at compound interest when Column
bus discovered America now would
equal the wealth of the civilized
world, but in practice it would not.
which is a mighty good thing.
When the money market becomes
SO safe that we can depend on reg
ular dividends, much less compound
interest, for $50 years, either inter-
est rates will f1atten out, or the &C.
onomic system they represent. will
go to smash.
AS matter of common sense,
humanity could not live with ex-
isting interest rates, except for the
failures, panics and depressions it
suffers.
1t is the gamble that keeps the
thing going, and the gamble means
losses as we'll as winnings.

Where is the SargassO sea? How
was the name derived?
1t is a region of the Atlantic
ocean, from about latitude Is de-
grees north Of IS degrees north, and
between the Azores and the Ba-
hamas. The name was derived from
the large amount of seaweed, par
ticularly sargassum baeciferun,
which it contains. It lies in the
eddy of the great systems of cur
rents, so that the waters carry very
little sediment and are remarkably
clear and transparent. The sea-
weed includes other types than the
one named, which, however, is the
most common. The forms have no
organs of attachment, but are
supplied with air cells causing them
to float on the surface, where they
are blown about by the winds.

shevik and probably one seduced BY
Russian gold.
Some such explanation is needed
to Justly the inclusion OF a theo-
logical dogma into a discussion OF
an economic problem.
Manufacturers, always had sup
posed, were expected to have faith
in God, the protective tariff and
the Republican party. This is the
first time I ever knew that Amerl-
canism was somehow bound up
with the doctrine of hell-fire.

Power Not Permanent

Power Not Permanent
IT OSSES come not only through
IL business failure. but through
change, improvement and political
revolution.
No doubt the merchants, manu-
facturers and nabobS of the old Rus
sian regime considered themselves
and their money quite safe until the
war broke out.
Now, where are they, or their in
yestments?
The bonds they priced are not
worth the price of wall paper, and
what has happened to them has
happened a dozen times within the
last five hundred years.
Whether in politics, society, re-
ligion or finance, human nature will
not tolerate system that lays the
basis for permanent power, which
would be the case if it were possible
to lay aside $500, or any other
amount, and let it accumulate in
definitely.
=
In this connection, the advent OF
Stains f1ftieth birthday brings out
curious point.
AS every one knows. Stain is the
boss of Soviet Russia, and probably
enjoys intimate control of more
people than any living man.
What every one does not know is
that he was named Joseph and
destined for the church because a
devout Christian mother wished tc
express her gratitude for the fact
that he was born near Christmas
What would she have thought
could she have foreseen him leading
a political movement which has fol-
one Of its detectives not only the
humiliation of Christmas, but Of
the religion for which Christmas
stands?

Talking motion pictures are proposed by minister
to swell the attendance in the churches. Maybe one

Science Is Tyrant

CCIENCE promises to develop the
~ most rigid tyranny this world
ever has known, not only harness.
ing men and women to machines
but cataloging them and classify
ing them, each according to his Pc
culiar aspirations.
Intelligent, of course, but pitilsss
and unromantic in its precision.
Who would swap the chance of
being a good bookkeeper for the
pastine of imagining he would
make a good musician?
Who would prefer to being
examined by board of alienistS
and told what he must do to the
delightful pastime of dreaming
about it in ignorance.
For men and women who must
earn a. living in the later hard
boiled years, science may present
wonderful opportunities, but it's 60
ing to be tough on children.
In theory, Dartmouth college will
get between $1,5OO,0O0 and 100000
$50 years hence, now that the
Waters bequest has been upheld.
The Waters request consists of
$1,000, which is to be invested and
reinveSted for q century and a half,
when it will be turned over to the
college with all accumulated earn
ings.
At per cent. compounded an
nually, money doubles in a little
more than fourteen years.
If there were nothing but arith-
metic to consider, any one could
compute the result.
Arithmetic, however. only tells a
small part of the story.
