The weight of an ordinary-sized

the shells are shipped away; they
are popular with preachers who use
them as ornamental holy-Water ba-

caused the deaths OF many natives

Right now Mrs. North America
looks pretty sick. Let's see what's
wrong with her. In 1882 she was
told by some scientists that she
would give birth to her last child
about 1910. At first it upset her a
bit, because she was suffering from
a depression, but her Doctor-Presi-
dent Hoover, promised her that
prosperity was just around the cor
ner, so she didn't worry much Came
1888 and she gave birth to the New
Deal, with a new Decentralization
Roosevelt, delivering; shortly after
this she gave birth to two other
children, C.C.F. with Doctors Woods
worth and Telford and Social Credit
with Doctor "Bible Bill" Aberhart.
After the birth of these three
children, Mrs. North America really
had a bad case of the depression
and she is going down hill fast. She
has finally come to the conclusion
that her last four Doctors were
quacks, and if she wants to live
much longer, she will have to con-
suit some specialists. But our
patient is so surrounded with Quacks
that she is having some difficulty
in distinguishing between them and
the Specialists.
Now there are some Specialists,
a group of scientists, headed by
Howard Scott, who know just exact
ly what is wrong with Mrs. North
America, and just what must be
done to save her.
In the first place they know that
she is in such bad condition that if
she and her coming child are going
to live, there will have to be a COM
plete change of environment. Sec
ondly, they know that they will
have to prepare her very carefully
for this change, and thirdly, they
know that their plan for her recov-
cry and-No more copy on thisl!l
cry and continued life must be very
definite and specific.
They had their plan perfected in
1882, but Mrs. North America didn't
want their advice. She is rather
neurotic and there has been a men
tai weakness in her family for gen
erations. These specialists, realizing
her grave danger, proceeded to warn
her people and place the plan be
fore them. They have been and
are still, building a nationwide Or
~ganization to protect Mrs. North
America and help her to bear her
last hild-Technocracy with a min
imum of hardship and as quickly as
possible.
This preparation for T%echnocracy
entails a lot of research, study and
financial aid. Here is a chance for
us, the women, as well as the men,
to help put the patient back on her
feet.
BY taking this opportunity we can
help to build a civilization really
worthy of the intelligence of human
beings, by letting it slip by, we are
helping Mrs. North America and
ourselves, right into our collins. This
is our Crisis. This is our "Rendez-
vous with Destiny" Prepare to

CAPITALIST SYSTEM
Is FALLING APART

people. An economic system at any
period is the result of a long evolu-
ton in which many factors have
played a part. That evolution has
progressed from primitive commu-
nism, 70 slavery, 10 feudalism, to
m%achine-age capitalism and the last
stage is the control Of our economic
life by q financial oligarchy (what
Ickes calls the go families).
The history of the last 7 years
is proof enough that the capitalist
system a no longer function to
provide goods and services to all
who are willing to work. Except for
short periods Of temporary recovery,
the American people are saddled
with a permanent depression. I'm
less they are content to go on that
way indefinitely, the obvious solu-
ton is to get a new machine. We
do not need a blueprint of a social

people are convinced in their minds
that such a change is necessary, the
battle is half won.
That is the long range view. But
although no amount of government
experiments can make the capitalist
system work, it would be nonsense
to say that the New Deal has not
been worth while. Reforms do not
cut to the core Of the problem but
they must be worth fighting for,
else why does organized wealth op-
pose them so bitterly? In winning
a war it is sometimes necessary to
take a few trenches at a time.
Capitalists never suffer want like
unemployed workers do. But they
have some unhappy f%orebodings.
Their opposition to government and

press, radio and billboard has
reached a frenzied pitch never

TO THE LADIES!
Bv MONA d. RID. l2349-l

By MONA D., RID. 12349-1
In the Science Glasses of the ma
jority of our High Schools and Uni
versities you find very few female
students compared to the male stu
dents. Why is this? Women should
be interested in the advance of sci
ence. Indeed, women have bene-
fitted just as much, if not more, by
the modern scientific inventions
than have the men. Compare the
modern homes of today to those of
20 OF 80 years ago, and when you
consider that it is now possible to
have aforementioned, fire-proof,
so~und-proof, automatically heated
and indirectly lighted homes with
all modern conveniences, it is a
wonder that the women are not
much more interested in science.
Even though Science is a difficult
subject, so is anything worth while.
The paramount thing in the study
of science is to start at the bottom,
learn the basic facts, laws, and prin-
ciples, choose the branch that you
are most efficient in and 60 to work.
In time of war, women consider
it their duty to do everything pos
sible to help, but has a war ever
been known to crush a whole civil
cation in one mortal blow?
We know that our civilization is
rapidly approaching a crisis wherein
it will either be crushed into
nothingness or flourish into the
highest civilization ever known to
history. We know that our lives
are hanging in the balance, but
what are we doing about it? Very
few of US are doing anything.
1t may seem to you that in these
last few paragraphs I have been
wandering far from the field of
Science, but I have been leading up
to another phase Of Science, a Social
Science-Technocracy.
Technocracy understands the why
and the wherefor of North Americas
Rendezvous with Destiny and is
building an organization without
emotionalizing, or making a lot of
promises that are impossible; in
other words, without the use of
political racketeering tactics; an or
%ganization capable of installing a
scientific mode of control with a
minimum of disturbance, delay and
hardship.
This seems to me to be the great
est opportunity in the history of the
world-an opportunity of helping to
save a civilization. It will, however,
be an arduous task and one that we
will have to undertake Immediately.
Many women are laboring under
the illusion that the study of Tech
nocracy is too deep for them, that
it is a mans job. However, I be-
lieve that this preparation for a new
Social Order will come easier to the
women than to the men, biologically,
if for no other reason. A woman's
whole life is spent in preparing for
and meeting one crisis after another,
while men more or less live from
day to day, they meet things as they
come.
Technocracy is inevitable. All the
Scientific facts point to the estab-
lishment of a Technate on the North
American continent; however, it de-
ponds on you and I whether it is
established within the next few
years, or approximately seven cen
turtles hence, because if a state Of
chaos destroys our present civiliza-
