The iron Man. Is Taking Over
Production Costs Cause Swing to Labor-Savng Machinery

Not only is the "clerkless
store" a possibility, industrial
engineers say, but theoretically
a fully automatic factory, u.s.
ing different machines which
already have proved their
worth in actual operation, also
could be constructed. That this
will come is widely doubted,
however, since intricate and
costly devices often wonld
have to be installed to do work
which could be performed
cheaper by men.
During the depression, many
economists argued that wide
spread unemployment had re-
suited from the displacement of
working men by machines, and
it is probable that if there is
any future drop in the working
force that argument will be
heard again. Advocates of in
creased mechanization say,
however, that machines have
helped to reduce working hours
and raise wages and are neces-
sary for further Improvements
in the standard of living. They
argue that while machines dis
place some workers they help
create new industries which in
turn give employment.
But regardless of the argu-
ment the fact right now is that
the machines are on the march.

Straight From
Horses Mouth
By LYNN H~EINZERLING

Berlin - The army's horses
in Berlin are having their
teeth looked after by Ger
many's leading horse dentist.
DR.. Erwin Becker, inventor
of a mobile dental chair" for
horses and equipment for fill
ing and smoothing down hors-
es' teeth, headed a special horse
hospital for the Wehrmacht
during the war.
He has invented an appara-
tus which permits him to get
at horses teeth and repair them
with as much ease as his cal
leagues enjoy in attacking hu-
man molars. He is working at
present as veterinary for the
horse platoon Of the 10th Con-
stabulary Squadron in Berlin.
Horses are peculiarly free of
tooth decay, only about two per
cent of them suffering from
carries, the veterinary says. On
the other hand about 81 per-
cent have tooth deformities,
which hinder their chewing,
cause mouth sores and make
life uncomfortable for them.
IF horses could cry, no farm
er would ever get a good nights
Sleep DR.. Becker says.
Because of the way they
chew, horses wear off their
teeth unevenly and develop
long, sharp corners on the out
side of their molars which lac
crate the skin.
DR.. Becker said the first in
strument for holding the mouth
of a horse open was invented
by an Arab, Abu Bekr. His own
metal halter goes on the horses
head as smoothly as the leather
article. Then, with a screw ar
rangement the horses jaws
widened to the point necessary
for DR.. Becker to operate with
in the mouth with his drilling
instruments.
The carborundum wheel
which does the grinding is
about the diameter of a half
dollar. A small stream of wa
ter plays over the horses teeth
as Becker grinds down the
sharp edges.
With an arrangement of pull
leys and cranks, the veteri-
nary's assistants can raise the
horses head gently to any pe-
sition desired. The nerves in
horse teeth are very deep and
the enamel very thick so that
the horse feels very little, DR..
Becker says.
After having its teeth ground
down. a horse feels much bet
ter without eating so much, the
veterinary says. He figures that
he could save 1920 calories a
day in food per horse by his
treatment-more than twice as
many calories as the average
German receives daily in his
official rations.
Calculating on the pre-war
horse population of Germany
about 5000. 000-Beeker fig
ured he could save a million
tons of oats and a million tons
of hay yearly if all the horses
could receive one of his treat
ments.

Time Magazine prides itself
on its accuracy in news gather
ing, but last week Times COW
erage of the hurricane which
struck the Mississippi Gulf
coast was just about as accur-
ate as the coverage by the
daily press of the nation i'm
mediately following the hurri-

churned into the sea, Biloxi
wiped off the face of the earth
and Pascagoula devastated. We
quote from Time, whose story
appeared one week after the
big blow:

Spanish trail between Biloxi
and Bay st. Louis, Miss, hard
ly a building was left standing.
Sea Walls buckled. Gulf Coast
beaches and roads were Uttered

Time magazine is one of the
fabously wealthy holdings of
the Luce empire, which in
cludes also Life, Fortune and
Others. Stories slanted in Luce
publications to make a point of
Luce propaganda are fairly
common, such as the build-up
of Chang Kai-chek, but we
had thought that Times re-
porting of national news reas-
onably accurate. Judging from
the above it is not. This story
was, or should have been. writ
ten several days after the hurri-
cane, when facts were known
and the first hysteria induced
largely by lack of communica-
ton had subsidized. Times re-
porting in this instance does
1t little credit, and such Incl
dents of sloppy, negligent and
hysterical twisting of facts
makes the reader wonder If
other news is not garbled in
this manner.
Next week has been designat-
ed nationally as a period when

Some handicapped persons
deaf mutes for example-are
actually more efficient in cer-
tain types of jobs than persons
possessing all of their faculties.
They concentrate on their job.
Still other positions can be

DIP Question

The fate of some 400, 900 Eu-
ropean refugees rests in good
part in the hands of a small
group of congressman.
These men, representing the
Senate and House judiciary sub
committees on immigration, are
visiting displaced persons camps
in Germany and Austria during
the current recess of Congress.
Their decision will go far to-
ward determining whether
Congress will accede to the re-
quest of President Truman that
they be permitted to enter the
United States.
The House subcommittee held
public hearings during the last
session on the Stratton Bill,
which would admit 5000 ref
ugees annually for four years.

Real Estate Probe

The powerful National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards
feels that Attorney General
Tom Clark is trying to pull the
administration aboard the in
vestigation bandwagon in fill
ing a monopoly suit against it.
The idea, the association con-
tends, is to steal a little thunder
from Congress. Said the associ-
alton in a news letter:
"It all looks like an admins
tration gesture to steal the act
from Congress and move in on
some of the public favor expect
ed to cru from probing the
high cost of living"
High Tax Versus New Roof
All sorts of reasons have been
given why the Republican-spon-
sored tax reduction bill, which
President Truman twice vetoed,
should have become law, but
the following one probably
takes the prize.
Rep. Thomas A. Jenkins (R),
O., quotes a typical" American
as proving the president was
wrong. Jenkins constituent
wrote him that the tax bill
should become law because:
MY roof has been leaking
for three years. l keep a wash
boiler in the attic to catch the
rain. If the Knutson bill is
passed, l can take the cost of
a new roof off my income.
Otherwise, l can't afford a new
roof"
The Ohioan will need to keep
the wash boiler handy until
next year at least.

you can to bring in new and old
