and more and cheaper planed lumber
made possible the employment of more
men in building more houses.
BY the middle Of the nineteenth
century, however, labor savings began
to be looked upon as a real problem.
Especially was this the case about
1851 when Paris cigar maker, Louis
Bleche. introduced a cigar making
machine which would do the work
Of six men. 1t was estimated that
it would save the cigar smokers of
New York State alone more than
81 900, 900 a year--but temporarily it
threw thousands out of work.
Inventions Fostered Jobs.
They soon were absorbed, however.
and, up to the last two decades. it
has always been the case that q
labor saving invention actually has
produced more jobs than 1t has de-
stroyed. This has been in a physically
expanding nation. Whether the same
holds true in a physically contracting
nation remains to be seen.
The story of American patents has
been the story of American civilization.
The problem of the inventor has
always been practical. He has sought
to meet an immediate need of his
time. Take, for example, the year
1928.
One Isaiah Jennings of New York
City was awarded a patent for "a
means of producing fire and light;
sulpuric acid is to be hermetically
sealed in a small glass tube and this
to be inclosed in paper surrounded
by a mixture of oxymurate Of potash
sulphuric acid is to be hermetically
on contact with the sulphuric acid
upon breaking the glass" It's long
cry from this to the pack of paper
matches given way with cigarettes.
Something rather more practical
although almost hundred years too
early for its fullest uSefulness-was

Any qualified boy from relief fam
lily today became eligible for admission
to the Civilian Conservation Corps.
An order to this effect was given
State enrolment officers yesterday by
Robert Fechner, C. c. c. director, in
a move to bring the corps back to its
authorized strength of 350,000.
At the same time, Fechner author
lied enrollments in eight Southern
States omitted from the original
schedule, while the War Department
ordered corps areas commandants to
report on the number of recruits need
ed in each State.
Estimating that between 10000 and
$4,000 new members would be re-
quired, Fechner attributed slowness of
enrollments TO improving business con-
ditions.
Vacancies also exist for 1000 war
veterans, but Fechner said the reports
did not show whether the impending
payment of the bonus was one of the
reasons.
In addition to present $4,000 short
age of junior C. C. C. members, Fech-
ner said another 10000 or more would
leave to take private jobs during the
next two weeks. The enlistment pc
