MANY kinds of engines, many kinds of
4V1 power to run them, have been devised by
man, during the million years and longer that
he has been on this earth.
The first mechanical contrivances were simple,
the bow and arrow making it possible to kill
at distance, which put above the AMI
mails in spite of mans physical weakness.
The next great "machine was the heavy
wooden OK cart to which fastened tame
buffalo, then came the sail, moving boat with
the power of the wind, and on, to the great
turbines, steamships, airplanes.
What is the GREATEST engine in the
world? Looking at Niagara Falls, knowing the
river falling over rock cliff is now 'harnessed"
to turbines, you might say, "the greatest engine
is there hidden out of sight, transforming the
power of that cataract into electricity; sending
it in all directions to be used for work Of every
kind
But the greatest engine in the world is not
made of steel or iron, not moved by water
power, electricity, steam exploding gas.
The greatest engine creator of all other
engines, and of everything that man possesses,
is a machine with no shape, one that no man
has ever seen or ever will see That greatest
inside the brain of man.
From that machine, mysteriously functioning
receiving information from all the outside world
through the nerves or eyes, ears, and all the
senses, the brain of man. with it's thirty thousand
million separate brain cells, produces thought,
based on information brought by the nerves to
the mind; and that THOUGHT produces every
thing that men possess
1t was the thought of primitive, savage
ancestor that produced the bow and arrow,
enabling feeble man, without the big teeth and
claws of savage animals, to conquer his enemies
in safety, at distance. That same thought
machine, later, harnessed Niagara sent subma-
rines to the depths of the oceans, and alrplanes
above the clouds.
The engine OF THOUGHT, without form,
mysterious, forever beyond our comprehension
is the only engine of Importance.

A Five-Year Program

In asking the District Commissioners for early
ference of eXpediting the veyear school build
ing program the Board of Education is seeking action
program which is essential if the local education
system not to bog down completely in the next few
years.
No one LUhO is interested in the public education
system of the National Capital can study the lUay
the system has been treated in recent years Without
becoming alarmed.
No UhO is interested can UieuU conditions pre-
calling nOW Without becoming dismayed
The simple fact is that the school system both as re-
CARDS personnel and school buildings is not keeping pace
with the growth of the community
WE NEED MORE TEACHERS AND MORE BUILD
INGS AND WE NEED THEM NOW.
The Board of Education basing its belief
tive estimates of the responsible school officials figures
that in order to make up the existing deficit in buildings
and to meet the demands of the next few years will be-
necessary to spend thirty million dollars in the next five
years.
This is the program over which the Board of Edu-
cation wants conference with the District Commis-
sioners.
Such conference is necessary because the Board of
Education, although responsible for administration of
the school system has control the estimates and
budget for the schools that control resting with the Com
missioners-so far as local control exists.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WANTS TO RE-
PLACE THE PRESENT HIT-AND- MISS SYSTEM OF
GETTING A SCHOOL BUILDING OR TWO IN
CLUDED IN ANNUAL APPROPRIATION BILLS
WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR DEVELOP
MENT OF THE SCHOOL PLANT.
Such plan must be adopted if the children Of the
city and in the future to receive the educational
opportunities to which they entitled.
They can't receive those opportunities in OUer
crOUded cLGSsrOOms or in the diLGpidGted SltackS

seemingly happily situated, who've
rounded the 40-year goal post and
find t h m selves mot caring

Burnt-out batteries worn-out
nerves-they're not new in human
history. We've suffered from them

gratefully, carefully, all EXCEPT THE THINK
ING MACHINE, most important of all.
1t may be said advising man to get an edu-
cation from books is like advising him to get
gold from mountain Which mountain shall he
attack, where shall he begn what books shall he
select, how shall he start especially if he has
reached an age past thirty forty, when men
really want education, value it but have little
time to read"
A sound answer to those questions would be
long answer, but short one is better than none,
and it is hoped that the questions may be more
fully answered on this page from time to time
later.
We all want to know about our place in this
vast universe, in which our sun, million times
as big as the earth, is only speck of light, and
our earth, so big to us, is only part of a grain
Of sand.
That information, the foundation of knowledge,
will be found in a good simple book on
astronomy.
Men want to know about the earth under their
feet, its history since it broke away from the sun
and became an Independent planet, first red hot,
then gradually cooling off, finally inhabited.
A good, simple book on geology will give that
knowledge, in few hours reading. Not "a little
knowledge" is the dangerous thing. The dan
gerous thing is NO KNOWLEDGE.
You will want to know something about the
thought, of human inventions, of increasing
knowledge, of philosophy of government all far
more important than any history of battles in
which men have killed each other.
Books on history must be carefully chosen;
librarians are obliging and will advise to the
best of their ability.
The reader must learn to select for himself
to read carefully, thoroughly, and also to read
rapidly, and at the same time, with under
standing.
Man does not think it too much trouble to
study and understand thoroughly that important
machine, the automobile, or if he has one, that
amazing machine, the airplane. He willingly de-
votes time and trouble to understanding such
machines.
He should be equally willing to devote time
and trouble to the development of the machine,
important above all others, the machine inside
his brain, which must be fed BY BOOKS AND
THE KNOWLEDGE THEY CONTAIN. You
give gas to your engine, hay to your horse, coal
to your furnace-give books to your brain.

SAME EFFECT

It was called to our attention
that the difference between the
popular votes cast for the two can
didates and the electoral votes
President Roosevelt will receive
December IA is worthy of note.
For instance, the Democratic
candidate gets one electoral vote
for every $4,000 popular votes
while the Republican candidate
will get one electoral vote for
every 100000 popular votes.
Virginia and Minnesota have II
electoral votes each. In Virginia
$4,000 Democratic votes turned
the States block to Roosevelt. In
Minnesota $4,000 Republicans
couldn't keep its II votes from
going the same way.
Georgia and Wisconsin have II
electoral votes each. In Wiscon-
sin 369, 1000 Republicans cast their
ballots on the wrong side and the
State went Democratic while it
only took 243, 900 Democratic votes
in Georgia to put that State in
it's proper place.
1t is just such little items as
these that bring home the fact
that strictly speaking the direct
vote of the people does not elect
President. But then 10000, 900
people can't be wrong and it has
the same effect anyway.

Marry-Go-
Round
By HELEN ROWLAND

Honeymoons appear to be
getting shorter and shorter, and
more and more violent with
every edition of the newspapers.
And now that Christmas is ap-
preaching, it seems almost fool
ish to waste money on a Yule-
tide present for last June's
bride and bridegroom, because
by that time they may not even
know each others telephone num-
ber.
Anyway, it is something Of a
problem these days to know
what to give to young married
friends. Book-ends, console sets,
bridge lamps and carving sets
were all once perfectly good
guesses, and saved the giver
a lot of mental effort-not to
say brain-fag.
But now you never know
what morning you are going
to wake up and read in the
papers that your charming little
love-token has been used over
the brides head, as a persua-
sive argument in a honeymoon
battle, and is Exhibit A" in a
divorce case or an assault trial.
Twice recently, book-ends have
been used by impetuouS bride
grooms to batter reason into a
young wife's head, and once a
Statuette of Shakespeare was the
brides forcible answer to her hus-
bands argument.
After you have mingled with
the crowds during a weeks hard
shopping, just to find something to
brighten up the love nest, it is a
shock to find that your Ming vase
has served only as handy
weapon with which to drive home
a point on the brides chin.
Or that one of the silver candle
sticks you so tenderly selected has
been bent over the bridegroom S
head after q bridge-gams argu-

ton was very marked to say the
least.
At the first one, if you remem-
ber, he jumped up on a chair; TOOK
matters right into his own hands;
shouted out facts he thought would
make page one; answered all ques-
tions in a. booming voice and car
ried the session along from start
to finish on his own. 1t was his
party.
At the one several days ago it
was the newspaper mems party.
Mr.. Hamilton sat in a chair. He
kept smiling, but he didn't grin
with confidence. He was wary.
He made his interrogatorS change
their questions frequently if he
thought he Smelled a mouse in
the way they were framed. But
with it all he kept his head. He
didn't show any rancor. He
didn't attempt any little alibis
here and there; he just looked
like a stretch of sandy beach
after a hurricane had passed
over it.
Examples Of the rocky road he
travelled can be recorded in YER
bal passage that went something
like this:
One of the correspondents ques-
toned him closely on policy that
Mr.. Landon had advocated in his
speeches. Mr.. Hamilton pleaded
ignorance of what was in the
speeches. He said:
eff told you the truth-and
will-I'll say that only heard
two of the Governors speeches
during the campaign, and I had
to sit through those two"
The retort came back quick as
O flash:
swell, you were damned
lucky"
At another time they were rid
ing him plenty on his assertion
that the leadership of the party
must come from the Republicans
in the Senate and the House of
Representatives.

Journey
LOURENCO MARQUES

The Presidents of South Africa
generally give first thought to
Lourenco Marques when vacation
time approaches. And travellers,
who decide to find out for them
selves the attractions of the capi-
tai of Portuguese East Africa, soon
find out why the resort is so popu-
lar.
One of the favorite spots is
Polana Beach, where one dances
by the Indian ocean in a garden
pavilion that is all delight, or lis
tens to the band in the daytime.
Lourenco Marques, easily acces-
sible by train from all important
South African centerS, is centainly
as interesting and cosmopolitan q
resort as one could find anywhere.
And, being part of the dark con-
tinent, with a rare history and
background, it offers d d d
glamour. Groves of coconut palms
line the water front drives and
the roads over the hill to beauti-
full Polana.
In town, the imposing railroad
depot, with its shining, huge copper
dome, and the attractive approach
to the smart shopping street, Rua
Sonsiglieru Pedrosa, give the key
to the lively tone of the place. The
pavements are mosaically pat
termed, and there are gay cafes and
a bandstand where music sounds
as the people promenade beneath
the lovely jacaranda trees. There
one sees women wearing the latest
frocks from Paris, native police
men dressed in knickerbockers and
red fezes. and soldiers from the
garrison in bright uniforms.
The Avenida da Republica runs
through the city, flush with the
city's new garden suburbs, while
the Avenida Aquiar, tree-lined and
flower-filled, links the commercial
city below with the lovely suburbs
on the hill. From his avenue there
is the entrance to the famous
Vasco da Cana gardens.

The Greatest Show on Earth
Ry Frank Miller Smith

Mr.. Hamilton expressed the
view that the members ought to
caucus and set up a group Of
policies to follow.
A few of the correspondents ex-
pressed grave doubt that Senator
Borah and a few others Of the
Republicans would find time or
inclination to caucus with their
colleagues. In fact one neWSpa-
perman suggested that Republi-
can caucus in the Senate would
probably consist of Senator Arthur
Vandenberg Of Michigan and Sen
ator Wallace White Of Maine and
it could be held in a telephone
booth.
Mr.. Hamilton's reply was:

The questioner's comment on
this one was:
"There ought to be plenty Of
it this time"
Finally Mr.. Hamilton remarked
that he thought the conference
had gotten far out of bounds

nounce the policies and the fu-
ture of 100000 people in this
country and the torture was over.

But, all that knowledge is in books.
The purpose of this editorial, and this picture,

Of wise, earnest reading.

truly: 1.-The true University of these days is a
collection of Books, and thanks to the modern
public library that greatest, best of universities
is always open to whomever will take advantage
of it.
In childhood, education is usually forced upon
u.s. against our will, while many spend their years
of maturity regretting the lack of "early educa-
ton" There is no need for such regret while
libraries exist, and books are available. Educa-
ton need not be "early"; it need not be "late."
Education is process that should last as long
