REPLACEMENT OF PRESENT UNIT
SYSTEM DECLARED INEVITABLE

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec. %
U.P.-Replacement Of the present
unit Of man-hours in industry by
energy-hours, the measure of work
accomplished by the machine, is in
evitable, according to Prof Walter
Rautenstrauch, Technocrat.
Rautenstrauch made the predic-
tion in an address prepared for de-
livery before today's session of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science. He is head
of the department of industrial en-
gineering at Columbia university.
The professor offered an expo
sition Of the credo of Technocracy,
with a plea to leaders of organized
society to have regard for "the
problem of organizing a civiliza-
ton to maintain itself" He ap-
pealed to all educational agencies,
including the press, to emphasize
the Importance of the problem.
I'VE believe Rautenstrauch
said, that any opinions of future
trend IN employment and general
Well-being of mankind in a high
energy civilization, which are not
derived from an understanding of
the natures and magnitudes of the
forces which condition social sta
tus, are not competent and are un-
worthy Of consideration by scien-
tific men. The scientist is a ques-
toner, he knows no holy places
where he dare not tread"
Technocracy, he declared, con-
Germs itself with discovering the
physical forces upon which main
tenance and growth of civilization
are founded and using them as the
basis for establishing possible
program of social growth. Rauten-
strauch held the problem of per-

sonnel perhaps the most vital of
all
ANY moral breakdown in per-
sonnet" he said, sis destructive to
organized groups. According
ly we find the institutions of the
home, the church and the school
have great responsibility in devel-
oping that type of personnel which
can function in our society,""
Property values, he said, must
be subordinated TO their proper
place"
Cites Formulae
Rautenstrach described this ar
rangement as a pyramid, the apex
of which is purpose and the base
is property. If the pyramid is in
verted, he said and purpose is the
base with emphasis on property
values, I'VE are inclined to believe
that the situation is an unstable
one and will not endure"
Rautenstrauch expounded several
mathematical formulae drawn from
Technocracy charts, and noted
these general tendencies:
That total man-hours in manu-
facture are decreasing inverssly
with time.
/ That production per capita is in
creasing directly with time.
That debt is increasing faster
than production and directly as
time.
That debt per capita is increas-
ing as the square of time.
"These tendencies" he pointed
out, "were obtained during the per-
iod which closed in approximately
| 1920. If the rates of growth obtain
ed up to this period were used as
a basis for predicting probabilities
let us say, in the year 1850. most
ridiculous and illogical results would
be obtained"
/ Rautenstrach then asked the
question lis the oportunity for g

in this illustration:
''In 1904 approximately 1900 mar
hours were required to build the
average automobile. Today only 81
man hours are required. In 1925
a certain lamp works required $780,
employees to man it's plant. Today
only 1,400 are required for the
same rate of production"
Others besides Professor Rauten
strauch who were to participate il
a symposium on employment sta
bilization today were Prof. Irving
Fisher, of Yale university; Prof
James w. Angel, of Columbia uni
versity; Prof. Alvin Hansen, of thu

EGG REPORT TO
POULTRYMEN
May Report of 35,O79 Birds
Representing 100 Farms
Tabulated for Farmers
LAYERS FOR PROFITS

In the May report of the Della
ware farm egg record club, which
has been prepared by H. S. Palmer,
extension poultryman of the Uni
versity Of Delaware, the average
egg production records of 1852
pullets, 10,854 hens and IL 1863 pull
let's and hens running together in
mixed focks, or a total Of 35,079
birds representing 100 farms
throughout the state, have been
tabulated for the benefit of those
poultrymen who are cooperating
with the extension service by keep
ing these records. During May the
pullets laid on the average III
eggs, while the hens produced 1916
eggs, and the mixed focks laid on
the average of Is eggs per bird.
As a comparison to these figures
the production in May, 1881, was
18.1 eggs per pullet, 1873 eggs per
hen, and 16.1 eggs per bird in the
mixed fiocks. Copies of this re-
port were mailed recently to all
the poultry calendar cooperators in
Kent county from the office of
County Agent Russell E. Wilson,
who states that a very creditable
number of egg records will be re-
ceived from this county this year.
as the poultrymen are showing a
good response to this project. For
the past seven years the keeping
of egg production records by a
number of poultry raisers in the
state has been one Of the major
projects in the extension program
for the improvement of the pouI-
try industry, and many interesting
and valuable records have been OBJ
tanned showing the Importance of
high producing layers for increas-
ed profits. In connection with the
statistical section of this report
Mr.. Palmer also included a brief
discussion of the economic study
of the poultry industry in Della
ware which is being conducted by
DR.. r. o. Bausman and two asso-
ciates of the Department of Farm
Economics of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. In this survey
detailed records of the amount of
capital invested, receipts, expenses,
and egg production were made for
115 poultry farms for the year Oc-
tober 1, 1880, to September 1, 1881,
and it is planned to include these
same farms in a similar survey this
year. The lowest labor income
recorded in this survey is minus
