We Haze a Continual Contro-
UerSy as to What Should Be
Taught to Children and
What Should Not.
SAYS:
VxTHAT to teach children, and
w how. remains an unsolved

WHAT to teach children and
w how, remains an unsolved
riddle and probably always will.
The reason is obvious. Since they
can't be taught everything, educa-
tors are compelled to assort,
abridge, and eliminate. A few years
ago, it was the Scopes case and an
epidemic of anti-evolution laws.
Right now it is history, with a
good row raging over the Hayes
and Moon book recently banned in
New York.
AS though that were not enough,
Theodore Hoover, the Presidents
brother and head of the engineer
ing school at Stamford university,
is denounced as a militarist by the
college paper because of certain
statements contained in a treatise
just published by him.
Among other things, Mr.. Hoover
is quoted as saying, 1.-THE human
race develops in war in proportion
to its use of metal;
Races perish in peace;
Culture is increased by inyen-
tons of new weapons;
"Pacifists err in assuming that
peace is desirable;
Emerson says everything we
have must be paid for We Aneri-

and must pay in full by blood and

FORD ADOPTS
new METAL
Chrome Nickel Alloy Used
For Exterior Polished
Parts

DETROIT. Feb. 5.-In adopting
chrome nickle alloy. a new and ex-
pensive solid metal popularity known
as Allegheny metal. for all exterior
exterior polished parts on the new
Ford car. Henry Ford not only
scrapped several million dollars
worth Of his own equipment and in
creased his cost OF trim materially.
but has probably revolutionized the
practice regarding the use Of nickle
and chromium plated parts hereto
fore standard in the industry. it was
learned at the Ford plant today.
Much Harder
For the new metal, besides being
much harder and stronger than
the plated sheet steel ordinarily
used for these parts, is according to
the Ford laboratory tests unrusting,
untarnishable, non-corrosiye and
impervious to weather. Unlike nickle
and other plate metals. the Alleg-
hcny metal is solid and all It's
characteristics run right through
the fabricated articles; the finish
cannot wear off.
Just how quickly the automobile
industry may follow Ford Is regard
ed as problematical in as much as
his immediate requirements call for
all the available output Of the new
industry, although rapid expansion
of production facilities is already
underway in the Pittsburgh district.
Ford's present requirements are ap-
proximatelv a thousand tons q
month. which represents about two
thirds OF the entire output In TINS
country, and one third Of the world
output.
Steel Alloy
The new metal is O refined steel
alloy In which have been ccmoineo
about Is per cent OF chromium and
4 per cent OF nickel. with minutes
imal fractions of other elements. ~
Is the combination OF these elements
IN a highly difficult process OF
production which gives the new
metal its unique qualities.
AmonQ other things. the Alleg-
henv metal was subjected TO many
hours OF exposure TO brine spray
which Is probably the severest test
az resistance to rust and corroSlon
known to metallurgists. Il was also
tested for tensile strength under
varying conditions. and found mucn
harder and denser than steel roru
officials state. The chief d~iiiiculiies
encountered we're in fabricating the
metal sheets into the finished man
parts, and In Furnishing and polish
