Where Is America Going?


"If we persist, in spite Of rebuffs and disap-
irresistible force for good which viii enable us
to reach far into the fundamentals Of business
and the control Of countrywide efforts, and
social, business and political conceptions Of our
times"
what factors augur success for the engineer
In attempting larger phases Of uSefuness?" To
this question Stuart replied:
"All constructive activities today in govern
ment and in industry enlist the intelligence OF
largely upon his achievements There can be no
progress without him..
Can Share In Finance.
Gas see it, it is within his own power to step
out Of his traditional role and take more
commanding share in the deliberations or con-
energies which influence his efforts as an engi-
neer or which are Influenced by his initiative
as an engineer, He already is in q position Of
great potentiality."
"And what can the engineer accomplish in his
greater capacity?" I asked.
II believe" said Stuart, that we can help
very materially in planning a better scheme OF
world control of supply and demand, and
better understanding of cause and effect than
exist exist, today believe we viii be able to accom-:
existing chaotic conditions. I believe we can
help to make progress stable and equitable, SO
as to satisfy all human wants"
What first is to be done?"
cage Of Engineering"
surveying present conditions, we realize That
civilization rests upon the cooperation of all
responsible agencies in a scientific study Of man
as an individual and man in the mass. Engi-
neers must join in setting up the proper ma
chinery for doing that. We must take our place
with the forces which decide the ways and
means and the uses to be made of our material
progress"
Stuart said that he thought this should not
be called the Mechanical Age, but the Age Of
Engineering This was a name that could well
be bestowed on the twentieth century.
II should like to live out this century" he
added. What privilege it would be to be able
to continue at work.
Let me say that the new era Of usefulness
now opening for the American engineer will not
be confined to bis country 1t must be remem-
bered that he' is constantly being called to
service in countries where engineering inteli-
gence Is not SO highly developed. His oppor-
tunities will be worldwide"
That which represents new era for engineers
may well be new for mankind Whatever

engineer u.s. above all, mentally honest and sin
cere. He cannot cheat his mind. With him.
things have to measure out" He has a quality
which public service can use. We must believe
that something very significant is inherent in
the new attitude of engineers.

In LATIN AMERICA
By CASTOR NERVAL.

When the Prince of Wales sailed q
few days ago for South America every
body knew that his royal highness was
not going to cross the Equator merely
for the pleasure of riding horseback
over the pampas of Argentina, OF of
playing 10 holes on the golf links Of
the Lima Country Club. He is going
to tour the most important Latin Amer
lean republics SIS a commissioner ex-
traordinary of empire trade. He is
going to sell British friendship and
British goods to the South Americans,
and thus try to regain Great Britain's
supremacy In world trade.
Sir Eric Drummond was different sort
of salesman in Latin America. He had
no goods TO sell, nor had he TO sell the
idea of the League of Nations-for most
of the Latin American republics already
belong to it-but the GOODNESS and lack
of interest in the League, shown lately
by some of them, has been the cause

''Flying Skeleton"
Forecasts Death

A gruesome figure in primitive folk
lore has been reported to the Catholic
Anthropological Conference. This Is the
flying skeleton, Pagak, Of the Ojihwa
Indians near Cas- Lake, Minnesota.
He has the form of q human skele-
ton and flies, his bones rafting, from
east to west. During his fight he cries
four times and sick persons who hear
him are sure to die soon. Few ever
have seen Pagak, but this Is not sur
prising because with every cry he
throws @ fog and then flies over It.
On the whole, the missionaries report,
he Is a good spirit. He sings as he flies
and his songs have been learned by the
medicine men and are considered Of
great potency.
A truly obnoxious supernatural being
Is the memegwecio. Of the same In
dians He is q living being with hui
man form who can talk, and arises out
of the earth or water like fairy or
norman. They steal the nets Of the
fishers and their contents. q

to me that In travelling so
fast they miss an awful lot.
I remember the Christmas
when my father presented me
my first watch-a big silver
affair that he himself had
carried for years. I was 10
years old, and the gift amazed
me. It had never occurred to
me that / should ever own a
watch until I was 81.
I remember how my wife
and I saved up patiently to
buy our first cara second
hand Ford. I remember our
first antique, which we loved
for months before we could
finally acquire 1t. And the
Joy of seeing a savings &C
count grow slowly, and the
thrill Of building a library,
one book at a time.
Now the kids smash up q
dozen watches before they are
6. And they start life with
cars, and with furniture, and
at 20 they have rushed through
all the emotional experiences
that lasted us leisurely through
40 years.
Don't mistake me. I'm a
booster for the new genera
ton. They are healthier,
direct and fine. Only some
times I wonder
wonder when, on my way
home at night, I pass a big
house in which lives one of
New York'S famous neurolo-
gists. It's an expensive house,
paid for by nerves. Limou-
sineS are always stacked up
in front of it.
1t would seem almost as If
the prize of life in America is
to own a limousine and park
it in front of a nerve special.

to be racing to get there.

many years ago said: 1.-The thrill which
the boy gets from stealing fruit at the

thrill of being chased and the thrill Is
heightened by the possibilities OF being

situations in which great satisfaction Is

are primarily present in athletic games
The situation may also be present In
connection with experimentation in the

field of music sciences, chemistry,
biology, especially as they are related to
nature. For the young boy, however,
they are not as stimulating as athletic

Athletic games may become the moral
equivalent Of crime in the very sense
which Prof. James indicated o few

come the moral equivalent OF war.

almost every conceivable form Of ex-
tortion. The total costs are stupen-
dous, and 1t Is well that the public
Is being informed more and more re-
garding the true situation.
Legal Protection Falls.
Racketeering thrives on many legiti-
mate businesses because legal methods
of protection have become inadequate,
either through insufficient machinery,
laxity in enforcement or outright cor
ruption Of officials. With tremendous
power and wealth accumulated by
bootlegging business, they are able to
step into legitimate business and dictate
terms.
At price they offer protection; they
form nonopolies. they raise prices; they
dictate labor policies; they destroy COM
petitors; they provide what cannot be
provided legally: they buy or discipline
politicians; they control labor organi-
zations; they finance where financing Is
needed. It Is reported that there are
racketeer banks, organized by rack
eteers, to finance the activities In which
the racketeerS are interested.
In the last analysis racketeering
thrives because governments fail to
fulfill their obligations. 1t is particu-
larry strong in cities where the govern
ment is chaotic, factional and corrupt.
Fearless and incompatible honesty in
government seems to offer the only So
luton. There is too much of a tend
ency to hold that corrupt government
must be accepted as q matter of course
and as o fact to be recognized rather
than corrected. 1t is high time that we
return to the simple principles Of hon
esty and efficiency in government.
