A Study IN CONTRASTS

We don't often realize the extent to
which modern machinery has eliminat-
ed the worst forms of drudgery from
human society until be bump into an OBJ
iect lesson taken from the dim past.
In the Chinese province of Szechuan
there is the worlds Oldest oil field; a
field where oil has been taken from the
earth for the past 1000 years. 1t should
be explained that the oil is only a by
product: what is really being sought Is
salt. and for 20 centuries or more the
Chinese have been pumping BRINE up
fron, wells that dot the whole province.
using the natural gas that also comes
ND from the shafts to evaporate the
brine and treating the oil purely as
rather unimportant by-product
Now the interesting thing about TINS
GREAT salt-mining industry is the way IN
which primitive, back-breaking LABOR
methods are still being used.
Everything is done just as it was Zooo
years ago.
The entire operation is done by hand
labor. including the drilling of the wells,
the pumping and the construction OF ma
chinery. Fully a million men are en-
ploved. and the average wage runs be-
tween Is and 25 cents a day. The wells
vary in depth from few Yards to more
than $500 feet.
Doubtless it can be imagined that
with all the work done by hand, some OF
the processes are extremely slow. 1t has
taken whole decades to drill some OF the
deeper wells.
All of the equipment is made of bam-
boo-everything from pipe lines to drill
ing cable Indeed. a special bamboo
plantation is maintained to supply the
wood for this purpose. All of the ma
chinery, OF course, is turned out by lab
orious hand labor, just as it was many
centuries ago.
Picture what modern machinery would
do to an industry like that Steel would
replace the bamboo. Wells that now
take many years to drill would be drill
ed in a few weeks Gasoline and steam
engines would drive the pumps, and the
weary armies of coolies would cease to
be mere beasts of burden and would
have a chance to live normal. human
lives. And-can you imagine the work
ers in a modern industrial plant putting
up with wages of 25 cents day?
The contrast is striking. 1t illustrates
clearing the way in which modern ma
chinerv is making back-breaking toll OF
the traditional, age-od type unneces-
sary.

THE DEATH OF ENUITY

Sometimes little anecdote, preserved
amid the louder notes of important his
torlcal documents, seems to stand out as
the possessor of a greater significance
than any of its more ponderous fellows.
By the suggestions that it arouses it
hints that it will be worth remember
ing for long time.
Such an anecdote is the one told by
Will Irwin, war correspondent, in the
current issue of The Interpreter the lit
tie magazine printed BY the Foreign
Language information Service.
Irwin tells how, after the armistice, he
entered German Rhine city with di-
vision of French troops The French
were bitter against the conquered Ger
mans; the German inhabitants, likewise,
looked on the invaders with a silent hat
red. The bars of jealous nationality
rose between the two groups and cut
them apart as effectually as stone walls.
One day Irwin and French officer
went to visit the local museum; for the
town was the birthplace of printing, and
there was in the museum a collection OF
Gutenbergs type, presses, books and oth-
er early devices.
The curator, wounded German oftl-
Ger, greeted them with chilly politeness.
For long time this air of reserve was
kept up Then, presently, chance re-
mark disclosed the fact that all three
the American, the Frenchman and the
German-were in civil life, connected
with the world of printing. Slowly the
chilliness departed They fell to dis
cussing books, type, printers and writers.
In an hour they were chatting cordially.
Then came lunch time. The three
went to a restaurant together. Their
hostility had vanished. When the day
ended they had become cordial friends.
They had forgotten the bars OF natlonah-
tv and war in their interest in common
calling.
Now that's all there is to the anec-
dote. 1t doesn't amount to much, per-
haps; vet it has a certain significance
that is worth thinking over. AS IRWIN
puts it:
.T could draw several morals from my
story. The one l prefer is this: there
are some bonds stronger than that OF ma

 Now, after having taken six bot ties of Bon-Tone, I find that my con- dition is much improved. Indiges- tion does not bother me, and I do not have to belch any gas.
