AS decisive events in world his
tory, inventions have greater po-
tentialities than battles, President
Clement G. Williams Of Lehigh
University told members Of the
New York Patent Law Association
at their annual dinner In New
York.
"Germany's ersatz offers great
er promise OF wealth than does the
babbing of her poverty stricken
neighbors," DR.. Williams said.
Research that would cost a small
fraction Of days war may yield
national riches and prestige. It
would be an unnatural atavism

Fears of Youth

According TO older folks, young
people are always happy and care
free. They have the marvellous
&c. of youth. and under ordinary
conditions have many years OF
health and activity to look forward
TO. They are not supposed TO De
troubled by anxious fears for the
future. or premonitions of the final
end of life.
In poem by Theresa Helburn a
different view of youth is express
cd Il can see her eyes grey with
alarm it reads. In imaginative
language it pictures the hooded
future" as clutching at the arm or
youth. expressing the thought that
young people do worry about thelr
future prospects.
Perhaps this is not surprising.
When young people formerly went
out into the world, they were prac-
tically sure of finding work at
once. But many recent graduates
cannot find work and are still idle.
They have ambition for success
and achievement, but what can
thew do if no one will hire them?
But youth has one great advantage
that age does not. Youth rebounds
quickly from mood of discourage
ment.
American youth should not take
it's fears too seriously. Its power
for achievement was never greater.
WAYS will be found for that power
to express itself. If youth does
not find its opportunity in one di-
rection it will find it In some
other.

Niagara FoIIs Remoins
Greatest Tourist Lure

NIAGARA FALLS, pictured on
the U. S. ascent stamp above,
OF the 1929 postage series, is
viewed by more than two million
visitors each year. Although not
the highest nor the largest water
fall in the world, II is easily ac-
cessible, has long been a favorite
place for honeymooners.
Niagara is 1877 feet high, is ap-
proximately q mile wide. The
water is free from sediment and
its clearness adds TO the beauty
Of the cataract. The scenic value
depends upon the volume of wa
ter flowing over the falls and
upon Its distribution in American
and Horseshoe Falls.
The brink OF the falls is reced-
ing at an average rate Of az
feet year, but scenic beauty Of
Niagara is TO be preserved by Co
