HaDana, CuDa.
Dear Jim:
Last Sunday morning 1 had quite
an interesting and enjoyable time
travelling around with one of the men
from the Embassy. We hired boat
to take us all around the harbor first.
1t took us by the big battleship Rich
mond and the Coast Guard destroyers
stationed here to protect the Ameri-
cans. We crossed the spot where the
battleship Maine was sunk about
forty years ago, during the Spanish
American War. In the water we
could see the tops of the masts of a
large number of sailing vessels that
sank during the storms few weeks
ago. A number of schooners still
floating were battered, splintered and
had their masts broken in the storm.
Over to one side were several old
steel ships that have been run aground
and left rusting in the shallow water.
At one place along the harbor front
they were unloading a seatrain. A
seatrain is a ship that carries freight
cars loaded with merchandise that is
expensive to handle and hard to pack.
The cars were being unloaded with
hugh cranes that pick them up, lift
them out of the ship and set them
down on the railroad track. Along
the docks were lot of boys fishing.
They were not using poles but would
simply drop a line down in the water
and some of them were catching
whoppers about foot long. At one

The sober citizen will do well to
take note of what DR.. Conley said in
his address on Wednesday evening.
Without any effort at oratory he told
of the conditions confronting the peo-
pie of this State, of the burden of
taxation that has been heaped upon
them for more than decade, and of
the brazen attitude of those now in
control.
Certainly it is time to stop and
think.

discovery be stopped until the rest
of society can catch up.
Thus the men whose jobs have
been taken away from them by
machines would like to see all the
labor-saving devices stopped.
This is the basis Of the pop
of techhocracy.
But the answer is not the stop
ping of mechanical invention, but
the speeding up of social inven-
ton unemployment insurance,
city managers, marital clinics, etc.
The machines are running ahead
of US.
We must either slow up the
changes that are coming too fast
or speed up those that are COM
ing too slowly. In most cases,
especially where machines have
already been put to use, there is
no chance to undo the work al
ready done.
Nothing is left in such cases
but to speed up the social
changes.

Americas 10 Biggest Problems

Keeping Pace With The Machine
Observation-Disclosures

By William Fielding Ogburn
Research Director, The Presidents
Committee On Recent Social
Trends
written For The Associated
Press)
The rapid growth of ma
chimes is a characteristic of
modern life. Steam, electric
and gasoline power applied
to machines have produced
cities, railroads, factories
and are changing rural life.
The automobile has aided the
growth of suburbs, affected the
life in villages, increased the bur-
den of our courts, almost
wrecked the railroads, consolidated
churches and schools, rendered
nearly negligible the boundary
lines of counties, increased tour
ing, affected hotel life, reduced
the number of household SER
wants, modified home life, changed
Sunday recreation, aided GRIM
inals, and modified our manners
and morals.
Social Changes Lag
But there social changes follow
and do not precede the tech
biological changes. There is de-
lay-a lag.
The machine killed millions
and MANNED tens of millions be-
fore accident prevention and
workmen's compensation were de-
veloped. The tin can has helped
to bring woman suffrage, yet
there remains the theology that
woman's place is in the home.
The automobile and the tele-
phone have produced the metro
politan region, which is still, how
ever, without an adequate gov
eminent.
The boundaries of -counties
were laid out in accordance with
how far horse could travel and
at a time when wealth was in
farms; these boundaries still per-
sist with an antiquated govern
ment inadequate to meet their
social needs in the age of cities
and the automobile.
Steam took the household in
dustries and placed them in fac
tories and the family has never
made satisfactory adjustment.
Institutions Change Slowly
1t thus comes about that our
great social institutions such as
industry, government, the family,
and the church are tagging behind
the changes which have taken

Ricardo Alvarez, of Havana, has
about concluded that fooling the
U. S. immigration service usually
ends up by the fooler inhabiting
a cell in the county Jail where he
now is.
Alvarez, in 1881, decided to
come to Key West. A friend of

certificate so that entry to the
United States would be easy.
Alvarez took the certificate to
the agent of the p. and o. S. S.
company in Havana, said he was
an American citizen, and purchas-
ed his ticket. He arrived in Key
West and was passed as being o.
K. He sent the certificate back
to Naranja in Havana.
When the steamer Miami, now
the Steel Pier, sailed for Atlantic
City, N. j., Alvarez decided he
wanted to go. He got job to
work his way on the ship and left.
Before leaving, however, he
thought a birth certificate would
be handy thing. SO he went to
the bureau of vital statistics, and
after making the necessary oath,
secured one showing that he was
an American citizen.
He left on the Miami for At
lantic City and afterwards visit
ed in Philadelphia, New York and
other cities before returning to
Havana. He remained in this
country about 20 months.
Last Saturday he decided to
again visit Key West. He did, ar

The changes in our society are
occurring at unequal rates of
speed. 1t is as though the parts
of watch were changing, some

Most of our social problems are
due to the fact that the parts of
our interrelated civilization are
not changing at equal rates of

Technology is playing the tune
to which most of our social life
