SCIENCE ENLARGES
NATURAL RESOURCES

From time to time, prophets OF
gloom promote the idea that we
are nearing the end Of our natural
resources.
Two decades ago, 1t was pre-
dicted that the American petro-
leum reservoirs were being ex-
hausted and would soon disappear.
The American engineer put his
mind to work, invented new types
of drilling machinery, and today
the known petroleum reservoir is
greater than ever.
Similarly, for years we have been
told that the day will soon come
when coal will no longer be used
and all the coal mines will stand
idle. It was said that oil and
water-power would take the place
of coal as the principal producer
of heat and power; that great hy-
droelectric schemes would destroy
the usefulness of the mines. One
of the reasons for the Guffey Bill
was to create an artificial agency
which in some mythical manner
would save the coal mines and
maintain coal prices.
Then came the European War IL.
The supply of rubber and silk be-
came impriled. American chemists
had for years been working on
formulas to supply these products
without resorting to imports. To-
day we are making synthetic rub
ber and silk in this country. What
ever it is called, 1t is made OF coal.
And nylon, the American made silk
of which socks and stockings are
made, has become a household
word. 1t is made Of coal.
The day may come when the
principal use Of coal will be its
translation into chemicals-a great
new industry, affording jobs to
tens of thousands of miners. No
one thought Of that fifteen years
ago.
And so it is with oil and cleo
tricity. Under the guiding hand Of
American initiative and enterprise,
these industries are constantly ex-
panding and rendering ever in
creasing public service, in spite Of
discouraging and restrictive politi-
cal attacks.
Only the pessimist sees the dead
end Of every road, and he never
reaches his goal.

DEMOCRACY AT WORK

Holcombe Parkes of the Associa-
tion of American Railroads, re-
Gently made talk on Democracy
at Work. He said: "The most dra-
matte of all the demonstrations of
democracy at work is to be found
in the history and achievements OF
our American railroads.
They symbolic all that is Am
erica. Their history is the ma
tiOn's history. They made these
United States. And they have kept
them united. They made possible
that glorious thing called the Am
erican way of life. Without their
services this nation could not ex-
list as we know it today. Without
their services we could neither
prepare for national defense, nor
become the arsenal of democracy
nor even hope to defend ourselves
against aggression"
Mr.. Parkes then described some
of the things the railroads have
been doing in the past twenty years
to prepare for just the kind of en-
ergency we are in today. Since
World War l, they have rehabili-
tated the entire railroad plant.
They have reorganized wherever
necessary in order to get the most
productivity from their facilities.
Since 1928, they have spent close to
S1O,000,000,00 for more powerful
locomotives, bigger cars, stronger
track, new and heavier bridges and
trestles, modernized shops, etc.
The result Of this is that average
freight train speeds have increased
by more than SO per cent, and new
high standards have been reached
in almost every measure of oper-
ating efficiency.
This explains why the railroads
have been able to meet an almost
unprecedented increase in freight |
traffic, result of the defense and
aid-to-England programs, without
delay, waste or congestion. 1t ex-
plains why divisions of troops have /
been moved to their stations and
training camps without the slight
est interference with regular pas
senger traffic. II explains why
every railroad job is going through
on time, without a hitch. even
though railroad traffic now is COM
parable to the peak reached in the
last war.
1t explains, lastly, why there 10
no railroad problem" in this coun-
try-and no bottleneck in rail
transportation.

CIGARETTES AND GOOD
CITIZENSHIP


A wise man said. Tell me what
you eat and ! will tell you what
you are" He might also have
said, "Tell me what you do with
your cigarette stubs and I will tell
you what kind of a citizen you are"
When driving your car, do you
throw your stub out of the win
dow? If so. you aren't a good citi-
zen. Your stub may land in some
leaves or rubbish by the roadside
and start fire. The place for
such stubs is the ash tray pro-
vided In your car.
When you are smoking In the
house and you leave your stub in
an ash try. do you make sure 1t is
actually out before you leave It?

Women are said to be among the
worst offenders In this respect.
Cigarette stubs smolder on the edge
Of an as htray. and sometimes
drop OFF. That is how many house
fires begin.
When you drop your stub in any
public place, do you step on 1t,
hard? You should. 1t might set
fire to the clothing of some passer-
by. The best plan is never to drop
your stub on any floor at any time.
