 workers. Their salaries, which have run as high as $3,000 weekly, are
 paid by the Gibson committee for
 unemployment relief, which re- cruits the workers from its own
 lists of unemployed. A majority of the men held responsible positions in their field before the depression. All other expenses of technocra-
 cy, which have consisted almost entirely of drafting paper, office supplies and postage, telephone and telegraph tolls, have been paid out of member contributions. The total of such expenses from Sep-
 tember 1, 1882 to date has been
 only $1.023.
 In addition to plants 1 and 2, Q
 number of individual members of the technocracy group, themselves successful architects or engineers, have set aside a number of draft ing tables in their own offices to study particular angles of the en-
 ergy survey, maintaining these tables at their own expense and
 contributing their findings to the work.
 The foregoing constitutes the entire organization chart and phy. sical plant equipment of technocra- cy. The organization in itself is solely Q fact finding body. The uproar which followed the an. nouncement of its initial findings has surpassed the technocrats as much as everyone else. NOTE: Tomorrow's dispatch

DEVIL TURNED SAINT

Thirty-odd years ago, when the
Standard Oil Company was considered an
outstanding menace, John ID. Rockefeller
was probably the most hated man in Amer
lea. That the methods employed by him
in building up his great fortune were often
ruthless and against the public interest in
those days can hardly be denied.
But now, at the age of 80, this same
man finds himself beloved almost as cor
daily as he was formerly hated. In the
meantime he has given away more than
five hundred and fifty million dollars for
the benefit of mankind.
His benefactions touch the health and
life of every person in the civilized world,
and many who are still in semi-savage
state. Largely through his gifts in aid OF
scientific research yellow fever, which
annually took it's toll of thousands, has
been practically banshed from the earth.
In recent year only three cases were re-
ported in both North and South America.
Likewise hookworm, typhoid fever, diph-
liberia, malaria, small poX, leprosy and
other diseases have been wholly or par
TALLY conquered through the millions
poured into the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research ana the Rockefeller
Foundation. a
Many other millions have been de-
voted to the cause of education, thirty
one million dollars having been given to
the University of Chicago clone, and gifts
for all these worthy purposes are being
continued from year to year.
Thus, through series of benefactions
without parallel in the history of the
world, John D. Rockefeller has been trans.
formed in public estimation from devil
of the past to,a saint of the present.

TO SEE NEW STARS

Millions of new stars will be brought
a new telescope, four times as powerful
as any now in existence, to be built for the
California Institute of Technology with
funds furnished by the International
Education Board 1t will be located on a
high California mountain to be selected
later.
The present worlds largest telescope
is the 100-inch reflector on Mount Wilson,
Calf. The new telescope will have 900
inch reflector of fused quartz, which will
present more nearly perfect surface than
glass. The General Electric Company has
undertaken to built it, with the coopera-
ton of Dr. Robert A. Millikan and other
leading physicists.
When it is considered that the
present largest telescopes are able to ex-
plore the universe to distance of 100
million light years, the depths to which
the new monster reflector may penetrate
may be figured, but can not be grasped by
the human mind
The most startling objects to be re-
vealed will doubtless be connected with
nearby heavenly bodies such as our moon
and the planets of our own solar system.
The question of whether life exists on Mars
or Venus may possibly be answered
No statement as to the time required
to build the new telescope has been made.
but actual work will begin soon. The
scientific world, and laymen as well, will
eagerly await the new knowledge which is
bound to be obtained through its revela-
tions.

TRAGEDY AS TEACHER

1t seems that it often takes an APP
palling tragedy to impress mankind with
the necessity for ordinary safety pre-
cautions, and even tragedy fails to teach
its lesson in most eases.
The first systematic efforts to make
theaters fireproof followed the lroquis fire
in Chicago in 1908, when 574 persons lost
their lives, although 600 had died in a
theater fire in Trenton, n. j., as far back
as 1872, and 2S3 had met similar fate
in Brooklyn in 1876.
A new policy of constructing mum
tons depots in unsettled areas followed
the explosion of the Lake Denmark arsenal
i'm 1926 The sinking of the Vestris has
brought about the adoption of new code
of safety ut sea, framed by representatives
of Is nations. The explosion of X-ray
films in the Cleveland Clinic, causing the
loss of more than 900 lives. resulted in a
survey of conditions in hospitals through
out the country in an effort to prevent
similar disasters in future.
Thus great tragedies sometimes serve
to teach their costly lessons: too late. how
ever, to do their victims any good.
