Greatest" Inventions
(New York T'imes)


 A committee of 75 scientists and industrial execu- tives has examined 80 American inventions and se- lected 19 the greatest" The 19 are Whltneys cotton-gin, Fultons steamboat, McCormicks reaper Morses telegraph, Goodyear's vulcanization of rub ber Howes sewing machine, Sholes's typewriter Westinghouse arbrake Bells telephone, Edisons phonograph and incandescent lamp Tesla induction motor, Halls aluminium process, Mergenthaers lno- type, Edson's motion picture protector the Wrights arplane de Forests three-electrode vacuum-tube Baekeand's thermosettng plastics and Burtons oll- cracking process
 Good as this list may be, if ignore it's patri- otic bias it is representative of American in- genuity than complete. Where the remarkable and important machine tools of Whitney and others? And where the inventions that gave such i'm petus to the mining, treatment and handling ot ores? What of Oliver Evans and his high pressure steam engine, surely great innovation? Where are the inventions that made the cultivation and har- vesting of cereals other than wheat simpler and cheaper? If Fultons steamboat is to be regarded as peculiarly American, what of the automobile in the form that we gave it? What of the characters- tic American locomotive? And surely our contri- buttons to the generation, transmission and distr- button of electric energy were not negligible.
 The more we study the 19 the stronger grows the conviction that the rejected 61 are necessarily clements in picture of American technological effort even though their retention might have re- suited in an unwieldy list. What want are key inventions out of which great industries Sprang. No doubt the selections were considered great both in a patentable and social sense. Yet Whitneys system of interchangeable parts, which hardly patentable had enormous influence on mass pro- duction. The purely scientific theories of Willard Gibbs out of which came the chemical industry of today would also have to be included. Any com piaton of only patentable inventions must of nec- essity be arbitrary Important patents have been, they have by means given us all the great ma- chimes and processes. Moreover patents are only indications of social point of view In the long run it is this social point of view that is really important.

FRIDAY. APRIL 26

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day which is most favorable for in- dustry. Labor comes under good influences which promise progress for workers. Cooperation with em- ployers is indicated
 Heart and Home: Under this configuration aged members of the household should benefit. The stars forecast adequate pensions and general provisions for the security of old persons. This is not con- genial date for friendships between the opposite sex. Young men may be critical in their attitude toward girls. This is not red letter date i for dances or other social func- tions.
 Business Affairs: The Moon en- ters Capricorn, sign that stimu- lates intellectual men and women who are to gain power in coming months through wise counsel and scientific leadership. As financial problems will engage attention ex- perts in international banking sys- tems will teach the principles gov erning wise management of money.
 National Issues: AS the spring advances whispering campaigns will be carried on by politicians. The stars indicate that scandals old and new among persons in the pub lie eye will be disseminated. Good deeds will be misunderstood and wise policies misinterpreted Wo- men who promote candidates for high office should be exceedingly circumspect.
 International Affairs: Inten e egotism will contribute to the fin ancial undoing of Adolph Hitler, the seers prophecy. He will deceive himself concerning the loyalty of other dictators and will receive disappointments as he rejects all overtures for peace. There is DOT OCAlU O4 SctOooClO OOAiC SlOolAl5 Nd- reer.

 Persons whose birthdate it is will gain through recognition from superiors. Women may expect lega- cies from relatives. The year is most promising.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be reserved and self sufficient, dignified and diplomatic. Both boys and girls have the pre- diction of happy, successfuI careers.

 The fate of Norway is sad one Whether the nation is on the winning or losing side in the final battle of the war it is certain to be the loser. Its country will be devastated by it's friends the Allies, just as much by the Germans.
 Alaska holds on the North American continent exactly the position Norway does in Europe. If an army Of 75OO0 air force of 200 planes and a navy Of 50 vessels could not protect Norway from sudden invasion. what hope does Alaska have? Compared with Norway totally unprepared
