DEATH OF r. r. HOBsoN

The recent death of Rear-Admiral
Richmond Pearson Hobson recalls his
heroic exploit of the Spanish American
War, in which he attempted to bottle up
the Spanish fleet in the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba. Because of loose statements by
numerous writer's and speakers, the inn
preston has been created among many
that his attempt was successful, but such
was not the case.
In June, 1898. the main Spanish fleet,
commanded BY admiral Cervera, lay III
Santiago harbor blockaded by the Amer
lean fleet under Admiral Sampson. Hob
son, then lieutenant, obtained pefmissi0n
to attempt to close the mouth Of tue har-
Dor by sinking an old Navy collier, the
Merrimac, at the entrance.
The attempt was made on June 3, in
the face of fire from the Spanish shore
batteries. When he thought he had
reached the proper point Hobson blew up
the Merrimac and she sank, but had drift
ed to one side of the channel and the
brave exploit was not a success. Hobson
and his little crew of seven men were TAX
EN- prisoners and held by the Spaniards I'M
til about month later. when they were
exchanged
On the morning of July 3 the Spanish
fleet steamed out of the harbor in a des-
perate effort to escape, and every ship
was sunk by the American fleet
Although Hobson failed to accom-
L; Go A.
least detract from the heroism displayed
by him and his gallant crew of volunteers,
and for which he was awarded the Con-
gressional medal of honor
Admiral Hobson was native of
Greensboro, Ala, and was &C years old at
the time of his death He had recently
taken an active part in opposition to
President Roosevelt's plan to increase the
membership of the Supreme Court.

RAILROADS AND FLOODS

When the recent floods ravaged the
rivers, the relief work of the Red Cross,
various government agencies and volun-
teer workers, both men and women, re-
ceived and deserved the highest praise.
Not SO much was heard, however,
about the great service rendered by the
railroads during the emergency. Yet the
railroads, many of which suffered millions
of dollars in property damage, performed
services the value of which can not be
overestimated
They carried the bulk of all the
food, clothing and other supplies which
went into the stricken areas, although
laboring under the severest handicaps.
Much of this service was performed with
out cost to relief agencies or the refugees.
And by almost superhuman efforts the
railroads restored regular service within
an incredibly short time. All this was
done quietly and with little publicity 1t
hardly made news, because it was taken
for granted
1t may be that taking for granted the
fine service rendered by the railroads and
public utilities generally is an unconscious
tribute to them. But these vast enter
prises are run by human beings to whom
an expression of appreciation occasionally
would not be amiss.

THE MEANING OF $50"

While the symbol $50" has been
used for perhaps three-quarters of CEN
fury to indicate 'the end" by telegraphers
and printers, its significance has been un-
known to the public generally.
Since the well-known radio news
commentator, Paul Sullivan, has been using
the phrase Good highland 80" to end
his nightly broadcasts many inquiries
have been made by listeners concerning its
meaning. ~, .,.,.g a,sg,
Just why the symbol "3e1was chosen
for the purpose is not known, but it has
been employed since the early days of
telegraphy by operators to indicate that
their transmission of messages was finish
ed. Later on it was adopted by news
paper men to inform the printers that
there would be no more copy for the day,
or night.
By extension, the term has been used
to indicate death, and in publishers and
printers trade journals it is often used as
a heading for obituary notices. Also such
phrases as answered the call of 3O' or
go came to-" applied to person, simply
means that he died

the manufacturing process annually
was 81 ,029.00 per worker. In 1929. the
value added was $3.603.00 per worker.
In 1899. the average annual wage In

average annual wage was $l.3l600.

and the hours of work had been
greatly reduced.
Anything that obstructs efficiency
in business and industrial progress
cuts the income of wage earners
Highly developed business today
has all of the essential character
istics Of a complex science. This
means that business is driven by
natural forces, and the laws of BUSH
ness mark its course. Hence, two
things are absolutely essential to sue
cessful business direction. First. a
comprehensive and intensive knowl-
edge of the natural forces and natural
laws of business success, and second,
the freedom of the business director
from interference in his direction.
Directive ability in business is as
highly specialized as directive ability
in surgery or medicine.
The most important factor in the
productive process, by far. is select
ing workers, and directing their ac-
tivities. No two workers are alike. A
worker may be effective in one place
and failure in anothers A worker
may succeed at one time. and fail
at another in the same job. A worker

Australia has been prominently

operating the ferry over Card
