Whu 1t Collapsed

xxTHY the first phase OF Tech
w nocracy came to so sudden
q collapse is quickly seen from
such q book as What Is Tech
nocracv?" by Allen Raymond, pub
lished by Whittlesey House al
$3.50. 49,
RAYMOND, a reporter on the
New York Herald-Tribune, was
one of the reporters turned loose
mon the subject shortly after
SCOTS public addresses drew ma
tion-wide attention to the move
ment.
Like reporters for other news
papers and news-gathering organ
izations. Raymond made a careful
investigation Of both democracy
and the career Of Scott.
He called upon his papers cor
respondents in Berlin and other
cities to check the stories in cir
culation about the far-hung engi-
neering activities of Scott.
Raymond's conclusions are that
there are as -nany myths in cir
culation about Scott as there are
about Paul Bumyan; that Scott
was not the son of the builder Of
the Berlin-Bag dad railroad; that
he was not an important official in
the building Of the Muscle Shoals
dam; and that he holds no de-
grees from universities in Berlin
or elsewhere.
He concludes further that the
claims of Scott as to the future Of
the world were not based upon the
charts drawn up at Columbia, but
that these notions were arrived at
first and then bolstered up as well
as possible with data which in
large part was erroneous.

HEALTH CLUBS

The suggestion Of the Twentieth Century Fund
that medical guilds be formed to take care of the
nations health problems will command attention
Illness is apt to cost much. No individual can
be sure that he will get through year without heavy
bills which worry him and which, if unpaid dis
turb the doctor who must live the same as the rest
of U.s.
If the head of a family knows that he is con-
tributing 5000 to $500 year to the support of a
clinic where he and his wife and his children will
receive all The medical attention they need whenever
they need it, it is conceivable that he will feel re-
lief from one dread fear which haunts his waking
days.
So Evans Clark, director of the fund has titled
the book, published by Harper & Brothers, 'How
to Budget Health"
What is to hinder any number of such medical
or health guilds springing up? If $1,000 persons in
one town and 10000 in another want to form units
with their staff of specialists and diagnosticans
to look after them, it is worth the experiment. The
doctors would get better and more regular incomes
Persons who still prefer to go individually to
privately practicing@ physician could do So There
would be no comptlsion about the guild plan-not
nearly SC much, in fact the state medicine recon-
mendation OF the committee on the costs of medical
care.

Dear CrinoIine Days

TINE house should have been
n abandoned about the time
that the hanson cab went out of
existence. Surely the public is
not likely to fall over itself to per-
petuate a system in which the real
music lovers sit high in ancient
balconies and try to catch the
voices of The singers through the
hum Of conversation carried on
by the elect.
Just about the best thing which
could happen to opera in Amer
lea would be to allow the Metro
politan to die and then start all
over again. Opera is not an art
form which should be the personal
plaything Of few rich, or even
formerly rich, realtors, who have
happened to become tied up in an
old landmark.
Even now there are a dozen
places where opera could be con-
Quoted with better artistic effects
and with far more comfort for
everybody concerned except the
boxholders.
I think the slogan ought to be,
"Take the horseshoe out Of the
Met" 1t has not brought much
luck for the last four seasons.
Great credit should go to Gatti-
Casazza and the organization he
has built. I refer particularly to
the mechanical departments. The
stage is obsolete, and I am in
formed on excellent authority that
it is practically impossible to
house more than one set of seem

MACK HURLERS
FACE Ak

That there will be a great shake
up in the Athletics next season
one gathers from conversations
with the scouts who are out in the
bushes trying to find talent to boil
ster the mount department. The
AS staff will be riddled next year.
and four or five of the hurlers
will depart for other sections.
Getting pitching talent is no
easy job. Connie Mack is having
his agents trial some players, but
their reports are to the effect that
the best hurler in the minors for
duty in the big show is Bill
Dietrich, and he is the property of
the Mack team. The bespectacled
has speed and smoke. That is
what Connie Mack wants and
must have.
Looking Over Marcum
The Athletics agents have been
looking over Marcum, the Louis
vile hurler, who has won 18
games. The youngster is ready
for the big time. The Cubs and
Reds have sent agents to see how
good he really is. Two of them
arrived the same day and they
saw him knocked out of the box
the third time this year. Then
the following day he went in and
won his eighteenth game.
Connie Mack will state quite
frankly that Nose Grove will be
with the AS next year and for six
more years at least. The boss of
the AS regards Grove as the type
OF pitcher who will last a long
time because he takes care of his
arm, and his habits on and off the
field are exemplary.
Best Pitching Of Career
At "a Grove is pitching some of
the best ball Of his career. No
longer does he try for strikeouts.
and he cares little for shutting
out the enemy. The only time he
wanted to blank a foe this year
was when he faced the Yankees
recently and shut them out.

REGATTA DATES
CONFLICT

A serious conflict has arisen in
the dates of the Presidents Cup
regatta, scheduled here on Sep
tember %, 20 and 80, and the ma
tional outboard championships,
booked for Chicago on September
29, 80 and october /. James w.
Mulroy, secretary of the National
Outboard Association, and L. Cor
don Leech, regatta chairman of
the Presidents Cup program, have
been endeavoring to eliminate the
conflict for the last few weeks, but
no adjustment seems possible.
E. G. Petherick, Pacific coast
of the National Outboard
Racing Com mission, has an
nounced the Pacific Coast out
board championships for Septem-
ber % and "a at Seattle, Wash.
This event originally was sched-
uled for September 2 and 8.
The new dates will give the
Western divisional winners bare
ly time to reach Chicago for the
n a tional championships. The
N. o. A. is undergoing consider
able expense to bring the Pa
cific Coast drivers to Chicago
and part of this expense is being
met by the American Legion,
which insists that the champion
ships take place during its con-
vention in Chicago, September
20 and 80.
Mr.. Leech is becoming recon-
ciled, therefore. to the fact that
the national championships will
take only three drivers from
each class and that the attrac-
tiveness of the prizes to be Of
fered at the Presidents Cup, plus
the glamor Of it's three-day pro
gram, should insure the pres
ence there of all other Eastern
outboard drivers, as well as many
from the Middle West and South.

Today, st. Louis is trying to
cram the original purchase at
the waiver price of $4,000 down

Gray. If Griff finds Sans arm
