DIRIGIBLES

1t is good news that the chief
of the Bureau of Aeronautics of the
United States Navy, Admiral A.
B. Cook, in his annual report, has
recommended the inclusion of sew
eral large dirigibles as a part of the
American naval program. There is
a better prospect now that Con-
gress will be willing to make ap-
preparations for dirigibles than
there was a year or two ago. The
disasters to the two largest Ameri-
can-built dirigibles, the "Akron"
and the Macon" gave a setback
to the plans for a great American
fleet of lighter-than-air craft, and
many persons both in and out of
Congress leaped to the hasty con-
clusion that dirigibles were i'm
practical and unsafe.
The demonstrations made during
the past summer and fall by the
German zeppelin "Hindenburg,"
which made ten round trips be-
tween Germany and the United
States without the slightest acct
dent or discomfort to any of its
passengers, and the realization that
for several years another German
dirigible, the "Graf Zeppelin" has
been flying regular voyages be-
tween Germany and South Ameri-
ca, has changed public opinion
about this type of airship.
There does not seem to be any
sound reason why America cannot
build dirigibles as we'll as Germany.
1t is understood that the Zeppelin
Company has again offered to
place its plans and specifications
and its engineering talent at the
disposal of the American Govern
ment. 1t would certainly be the
part of wisdom to make another
try at building these ships in this
country.
America can certainly operate
properly designed and constructed
dirigibles more safely than any
other country can, for we produce
and the Federal Government con-
trolls practically the entire world
supply of helium gas, which has a
lifting power almost as great as
that of hydrogen, but which, I'M
like hydrogen, is uninflammable
and non-exp1osive.
The time is bound to come when
the commercial Always of the
world will be tmversed by giant
dirigibles of American construc-
ton buoyed up in the air by Amer
lean helium gas.

situation developing which would
bring about a general European
war. In hat event, Americas
position of neutrality would be in
creasingly difficult to maintain,
especially if England and France
were involved.
The appointment of Joseph E.
Davies as Ambassador to Russia is
looked upon here as an important
move on the diplomatic chessboard.
Mr.. Davies is a former chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission, a
lawyer of wide experience, a veal
thy man in his own right who
lately married one of the wealthiesr
women in American. 1t is the ex-
pectation that he will find it pos
sible to make sound trade agree
ments and treaties with Russia.
Washington still looks ~longingly
upon the Russian market for
American manufactured goods and
is not blind to the fact that Rus
sia produces great quantities of
mineral products which are essen
tial to American industry.
The last appointment made by
the President before he departed
for South America is regarded here
with enthusiasm. That is the
naming of Charles Edison, son Of
the great inventor and head of the
Edison industries, as Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy, the post which
the President himself held in the
Wilson Administration.
Mr.. Edison has inherited a con-
siderable share of his fathers gen.
Jus and has developed on his own
account a high degree of business
ability. The gossips here have it
that he is slated to succeed Secre-
tary Swanson, who is expected to
retire from the Cabinet because OF
long continued i'll health.

SOUND death ray

OoOlND . QedlH ray
Another amazing new thing is a
device which produces sound wave,
at a pitch too high for the human
ear to detect. These vibrations, 0,
'ultrasonic" sounds have remark
able powers of penetration and can
even cause death. DR.. R. W. Wood
of Johns Hopkins laboratory, who
developed them, showed how pass
ing these ultraonic waves through
a tank of water woull kill all the
fish in the water. That suggests a
possible use in killing the larvae
of mosquitoes in their breeding
places.
Amazing new industrial COM
pounds can also be found by these
waves. Oil can be mixed with
water, and powdered coal which
has been suspended in water is con,
solidated into a solid lump by
means of the new vibrations.
This is still a scientific discovery,
which needs to be adopted to prac.
teal use before it classes as an in
vention.

MACHINERY AND UNEM-
PLOYMENT

1t was only threee OR four years
ago that the whole country was
talking about something called
democracy" That was a new &C.
onomic philosophy based upon the
theory that the causes of all our
unemployment and other troubles
was that machines were replacing
man power in industry, and that
if that tendacy kept On it would
not be long before there would be
no work for anybody to do.
The democracy idea was an echo
of the outcry which has been
raised whenever a new invention
has been brought out to do work
which was formerly done by hand.
When the first cotton spinning
machinery was invented, the first
power looms set up, there was a
tremendous outcry about the bread
being taken out of the mouths Of
the working class. That was more
than $50 years ago, and it is only
necessary to look back into history
to realize how foolish the opposition
to those early machines was. For,
instead of making less work, they
made more work. By producing
cotton cloth more cheaply and
more speedily than it had EVER been
made BY hand, the machine pro-
duction multiplied the demand
and the market for cotton cloth,
so that within a few years ten per-
sons were employed on the spin
ming and weaving machines for
every one who had been employed
at hand labor in the same industry.
To a generation which knows
nothing Of industrial history the
revival of this outcry against the
machines seemed convincing: The
evidence to the contrary, however,
is right in front of the eyes Of any,
body who will look for it. The best
example is in the automobile indus
try. More automobiles have been
made and sold in the past year
thon in any one of the previous
five years. Very much more of the
work of building automobiles is
done by machinery than at any
time in the past. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing for an automobile man
ufacturer to scrap $10,000,000
worth of heavy machinery to re-
place it with new and more eff
cient equipment. But has the ma
chine thrown automobile workers
out of their jobs? Quite the oppo-
site is true. In one great factory
alone, which formerly employed
$4,000 workers to produce a mil
lion and a half of automobiles in a
year, last year 10000 workers were
employed to produce a smaller
number of cars. There was no re-
duction in wages; on the contrary
wages went up. Yet the price Of
the car came down.
Precisely the same experience ha,
followed the introduction of mod.
ern machinery in every line of in.

PATENTS celebration

bration in Washington for the CEN

tenn. l wished l could take time

than l ever learned in school.
Many folks have a wrong idea
about patents. They think they
are intended to create monopolies.
The exact opposite is true. The
word patent" means ITO make
public. In return for disclosing
the secret of his device or process
so that anyone can use it, Uncle
Sam gives the inventor the sole
right to use it for seventeen years.
After that it is public property.
America is one of the few coun-
tries where the owner OF a patent
does not have to pay an annual tax
on it. That is one of the reasons
why we are the most inventive
people in the world. The other is
that we had to invent machines to
do our work because we wanted
more work done than there were
men to do it.
the public
In 1874 Henry L. Ellsworth,
then Commissioner of Patents, in
his annual report to Congress said
that the Patent Office would soon
be unnecessary, since there was
nothing much left to invent! just
a few of the inventions since then
are the telephone, electric light:
gas engine, photograph, airplane
Photographic dry plate, motion
pictures, radio, and about a million
and a half other devices for which
patents have been issued since Mr.
Ellsworth's time.
For years the Patent Office re-
fused to consider applications fol-
patents on flying machines on the
ground that it was impossible fol
men to fly. They still refuse ap-
plications for perpetual motion
machines unless accompanied by
working model. Nc inventor ha'
vet produced a model that works.
A patent, however, is no proof
that an invention is valuable. Ih'
value of any invention depends en-
tirely upon whether it meets a pub
lie demand.

was sorry to learn that this
evidently so well-managed poultry
farm was also faring so badly
through the iniquities Of that dis

overruling monster, the Moscow
administration.
Solution Easy
Had it but been on this chicken
farm that I was to work! Here
there was some hope in spite of all.
A few lorrieS and some large tanks
would have solved the water prob
lem. 1t would be of no use to buy
horses, for the Communist leaders
were evidently of opinion that
horses could wait for proper feed
ing till the second five-year plan
had been carried through. But
there they made a mistake for
the horses died. Lord, how they
died! Like the peasants they were
quite without the proletarian feel
ing of solidarity. They died right
in the face of the plan.
Motor cars and tractors, how
ever, have the nasty characteristic
that they simply refuse to work
unless they are given their fodder
in the shape of petrol and oil. 1t
is no good if the G. P. U. shoot
them or Danish them to the White
Sea or Siberia.

was now in full swing all over the

looked quite up to date, but the
carts and the horses made me, an
old wheat grower from Canada,
alternately shout with laughter
and clench my fists in helpless
rage.

man had helped himself too freely
to vodka, but it is fact that he
had no luck in marking the sites
on the map; for either the poultry
farms were placed in valleys, as in
Porovino, or in districts where
there was no water, as here in
Balaya Kelitva.
He had had special bad luck in
never choosing site so that 1t
was protected from the wind. In
Povorino we were five to six kilo-
meters from the wood; here in
Belaya Kalitva the woods were
on the other side of the river, and
so it was more or less with all the
poultry farms belonging to the
trust in southern Russia. 1t had
almost ruined the farm at Belaya
Kalitva to have to pay private
peasants to cart the water out here
either from the town, four kilo-
meters off, or from the river, which
was somewhat nearer.
When one saw the small beer
barrels, which were all they had
for carrying the water, piled high
on a cart drawn by an old horse
that was nothing but skin and
bones and found it difficult
enough to drag itself along; and
when one learned that the miser-
able tough hay, which looked more
like little sticks than grass, cost
three to four roubles a bundle,
and that bread, when it could be
got, cost 10 roubleS a pound in the
free market in these parts, it IS
not to be wondered at that the
water supply was a costly affair
for the poultry farm at Belaya
Kalitva.
All Feed Bought
Also all the feed had to be
bought, and buying corn is very
difficult business in the Soviet
Union as one has to deal with
other trusts, who seem to live in
perpetual fear that the buyers in
tend to sell the corn in the free
market for human food instead of
feeding the poultry with it. If the
chickens had had a more varied
diet this farm would certainly
have given a good profit, but now.
although the output of eggs was
enormous according to Soviet Rus
sian ideas, it hardly covered the
expenses of wages and feed.
Although this excellent man
ager was exceedingly cautious, I
understood from his carefully
chosen words that conditions on
the farm were hopeless, as they
had no money and the staff had
not had their wages for several
months. The sale of the many
thousands of cockerels, chickens,
and eggs never brought one kopek'

BAD, POULTRY
FARM SHOWS
BY ARNE sTROM

The next morning when he drew
near to Belaya Kalitva 1 felt curl
Gus as looked out of the window.
My first impressions of a poultry
farm were always of great i'm
portance to me.
The buildings were of brick and
looked imposing. Big chalk hills
and stone quaries on the opposite
bank told me that in this district
there were good building materials.
The whitewaShed farm houses
spread over the wide slope looked
very fine. There were no trees on
the side of the river where the
farm was, but on the opposite bank
between the river and the chalk
hills there seemed to be woods and
orchards. Why had not the poul-
try farm been built over there? 1t
looked, however, as if fruit-treeS
had been planted round the build
ings. The office building looked
quite smart, and altogether I got
a favorable first impression of the
place.
Eat Spartan Lunch
After a Spartan lunch Of dry
black bread Bochirov and I went
round the big poultry farm. On
close inspection all the buildings
had the unfinished look which is
characteristic of everything new in
Soviet Russia. Mortar, timber and
lime lay about everywhere, and
many Of the window-panes were
smashed.
And here in Belaya Kalitva, the
white leghornS were also busily
laying, although their feed con-
sisted mainly of millet and of the
insects which they themselves
could catch. There were no stub
born broodies in the nest, no over
fat, lazy parasites anywhere, but
the air rang with cackling and

as everybody does in Russia. I
praised his farm and said the
buildings and the stock were ex-
cellent, and, last but not least, that
his staff was far better than ours
at Povorino. Also the layout of
his farm was an excellent one,
which could not be said of the
poultry farm at Povorino.
Selected at Random
The manager told me the name
of the great Communist who had
laid out all the poultry farms of
the trust. Once on a railway jour-
ney this man had been given a
map Of southern Russia and had
been ordered to choose the sites
for 18 poultry farms-an illustra-
ton of the famous revolutionary
hustle. I could not make out from
the managers words whether the
map had been an old and ragged
one, or whether the train had
swung heavily, or whether the good

She was beside herself with

I was in a hurry. But I saw a big
red-cheeked soldier throw her a
lump of rye bread.
I looked round the big hall and
never shall I forget the horrors I
saw. Again caught sight of the
mother and her baby and 1 could
see that she was still trying to
feed it with the chewed black
bread. It's little naked back was
