Machines have been in the limelight pret- ty much recently and there has been a good deal of misleading talk about them. One fallaciOuS notion about machines is that they cut down the amount of employment that greater use of machines in industry means smaller number of jobs.
 It is important that we know the truth about this, for without question machines have deeply affected all industry and it's individual wage earners. The facts show that besides making life easier for working men, machines also create new opportunities for employment and actually increase the total number of jobs. In this process, ad- vertising is very important factor.
 About the time of the American Civil War our industries began to change from neighborhood shops with hand labor to the modern factory system, equipped with ma- chimes run by power From the very begin ming of this movement there were always some people raising the cry that machines put men out of work. But that has not happened, for the simple reason that ma chine-made goods were sold at lower prices, more people bought them and more men were employed to make them.
 Not long ago all window glass was manu- factured through the lung power of human glass blowers. Now it is all made by the use of huge gIass-making machines. The cost is much less and so much glass is used that many more men are employed in the industry than formerly. At the last census, 98,000 persons were employed in glass factories.
 Shortly after the Civil War the amount of

The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-11-01

mechanical power used to operate machines in American industries was only l 1/10 horse power for every wage earner. Sixty years later there was 9/10 horse power per wage earner As result the amount of work turned out by each man rose so rapidly during this period that the value added by manufacture increased from $658 per wage earner to $3,600 In other words, the mechanical power used in industry increased more than four-fod per worker and the output per worker increased more than five fold.
 And in the meantime, what happened to employment? In the same period the popu- lation of our country increased 1/10 times and the number of persons gainfully occu- pied increased 9/1O times As industry substituted machines and power for hand labor the productivity of each worker in creased and the number of jobs increased faster than the population. During this same period the annual earnings per worker were multiplied by nearly Az.
 When we think of this tremendous prog ress it is well to remember that the greatly enlarged output of industry does not auto matically find market. One of the most important factors in distributing the ever increasing volume of goods is the use of advertising, without which this mass dis tribution would be impossible. In a way, advertising is really key to our industrial progress. Many industries owe their growth directly to the power of advertising.
 The machine age means more things for more people and advertising is it's indispen- sable tool.

ton that their work has been of such nature that 1t will long endure and will actually be recorded in history's pages.
 We look around our own small state and see many wonders the eco boys have accomplished. We try to measure their work in dollars and cents. Were the state government hiring them budgets for the past few years would have been in complete disarray. True we haven't the man-power now that we had in the hey-day of the corps, but what we have are able to care competently for the work that still remains in our forests, in our park areas, along our highways, etc.
 When Connecticut comes to find it's state park and forest system, it's highway system among the very best, it's beauti- full natural hillsides unmarred by the ravages of pests and diseases many years hence, it will do well to give plenty of credit to the foundation work of the eco. Its man-power has made all this possible.

Wars to Stop Wars

Says Senator Norris of Nebraska, the only living United States Senator who voted against American entrance into the World War, and whose essential pacifism may be taken for granted: Although could never favor voting to put this coun- try to war again on foreign field, yet 20 or 30 years from now, when younger gen. eration of Americans is fighting world union of Fascist nations, resisting Fas- cist wave of aggression against us, those Americans of that day may wish we had defeated Fascism in it's infancy"
 The danger foreseen by the senator seems so real that every believer in de- mocracy must be concerned with ways to prevent it. There might be powerful Fascist league making deliberate war on human freedom and our humane way of life, and it might be done in less time then twenty or thirty years. But is ml- tary force the way for the free nations to defeat Fascism now or at any other time? Probably not; for it was virtual Fascism that the democratic powers, including America, fought in the last World War, and we see what came of that supposed victory. The absolution of Hitler or Mussolini or Stalin is worse than the Kaiser's.
 To beat Fascism, the totaitarian nations must be persuaded that political freedom is the better way. They will be persuaded by evidence rather than by force. The best evidence is demonstra- tion of prosperity and contentment in the democratic nations With the world as 1t iS we also need strong defense com- bined with strong will to peace This is the course upon which the chief demo- cratic powers seem to have entered now.

Democratic Royalty

Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden must appreciate the real warmth felt for him in this country, not merely by citi- zens of Swedish descent but by Americans almost regardless of racial origin. The people seem to feel instinctively that he is "our kind'. There are no barriers or temperament or understanding to break down. And if there were any reason at all why royal Swedish gentleman and democrat should leave his own country and settle elsewhere which there isn't it would be pleasure to initiate him into American citizenship.
 His visit comes, too, at a time when many Americans are going to Sweden and other Scandinavian countries to observe in operation some principles of democracy which haven't seemed lately to be shin- ing quite so clearly around here. Such exchanges are wholesome. Sure, they have kings over there, and Gustav Adolf himself will be a king some day. But in that part of the world kings seem to make the best democrats.

|, fire clay and limestone. Fossil trees are not infrequently found in such formation; along the shore of Chesa- peak bay south of Baltimore is forest in which the trunks of large cypress trees rise from peat covered by Pleistocene clays. In the Bad Lands of the Little Missouri river there are numerous petrified trees, and in England specimens were uncovered in coal mines near Wolverton in 1844. Silesia, Egypt and Antigua in the Wcst Indies have petrified forests of considerable ex- tent. To Americans the most fa- miliar examples are those in Ari- zona and the Yellowstone Park.
 The silication is attributed to hot alkaline waters carrying dissolved silica which penetrated the wood. In many cases the color effects pro- duced are gorgeously beautiful Specimens from the Clearf1eld de- posit are hard and fiint-like and show the grain of the wood with great clarity and in many beautiful colors. As the find was made in a state nursery it may be hoped that the fossils will be allowed to re- main where they are for the pleas ure of visitors and the study of scientists.
