Italy Extending Electric Syster

Italy Extending Electric System
Italy is rapidly extending its cleo
trio power system. Official figures
at Rome show that last year 500
or more miles Of railway were cleo
trified, bringing the total up to near
" $500 miles. The newest power
development is the Harvesting Of the
italian lakes, whose beauty will not

tied by Sock-Eye Schlupp, who cried
out as he accosted me with an ap-
proving thump on the back: you're
good leather, girl! You're good
leather!" And I was equally star
tied when Ollie, without saying a
word, crept rather shyly up to me
and frightened his arms about my

Neither of us, for some reason,

partnership of a peril confronted
and conquered I felt Unexpectedly
close to the man at my side.
"Can come in?" my companion
quietly inquired.
A wave of recklessness went
through me as I stood looking up at
him.
'Of course" I said, conscious Of
something portentous in the mid

little gasp of surprise. For plainly,

That was all he said. But to me

PRODUCTION is THE KEY
TO OUR WEALTH

PRODUCTION Is THE KEY
TO OUR WEALTH
EACH ARTICLE Of merchandise
produced in American factories-ev-
cry automobile, suit of clothes, ag-
ricultural implement, radio and the
thousands of other things men build
and use-adds to the national wealth.
The more we produce, the wealthier
we become as nation, and as in
dividuals.
Each pay day in each factory
marks a step in the distribution Of
the national wealth. OF the value of
all production, from So to 10 per cent
goes to the men employed in the fac
tories. That is labor's dividend. An
other "a to ~ per cent goes to gov
eminent as taxes-municipal, coun-
ty, state and federal.
What is left goes to those who
provide the tools-the factory build
ings and the machines-and to those
who manage the business and find
the customers.
That has been the method of dis
tribution of Americas wealth
throughout all of our history. Under
that method the distribution to the
individual has increased materially,
despite an ever-increasing popula-
ton.
We, as individuals, cannot get
more unless we collectively produce
more. We cannot produce more by
breaking down the industries in
which we collectively do the pro-
ducing and from which we individ-
ually receive our share of what we
help to produce.

COMMITTEE OF PUBLIC
INFORMATION

AFTER AMERICAS ENTRY into
the first World war, a Committee OF
Public Information was organized,
with George Creel as chairman, and
the secretary of state, secretary OF
war and secretary Of the navy as
the other members.
Creel did not attempt to tell news
paper editors what they could or
could not print.
Through his hands went such in
formation as the government wished
to give to the public and he con-
trolled all war pictures from the al
lied lines. His big job was to main
tain an enthusiasm for the war in
which we were then engaged.
According to Walter Davenport, in
Golfers, we will soon have another
Committee on Public Information,
the main job of which will be to
create an enthusiasm for America
participation in the second world
war. There is a difference.

PATRIOTISM AND POLITICS

PATRIOTISM and partisan politics
do not mix well. Patriotism says we
must build ships and other defense
equipment where they can be built
best and quickest; that we must
locate training camps at places
most advantageous and best suited
for the purpose. Partisan politics
says our defense equipment must be
manufactured where it will produce
the most votes, or where those votes
are most needed, and that training
camps must be located with the
same purpose in view.
