Swedish Engineer
First Inventor OF
Calculating Machine

STOCKHOLM.-In an interest
ing article, the Swedish engineer
ing magazine "Norden" recalls the
memory of a Swedish-American
engineer of unusual talent, John
W. Nystrom, who, after an active
life of inventive and constructive
effort as a contemporary of John
Ericsson died at a Philadelphia
hospital on May 9, 1885.
Born in Sweden in 1924 and
emigrating to the United States
in 1S49 Nystrom devoted himself
to the development of better steam
engines, ships and propellers, be-
ing responsible for a large num-
Der of improvements accounts of
which were published in the jour
mails of the Franklin Institute, of
which he was highly respected
member.
Among his inventions was a cal
culating machine, consisting of
circular metal disc with figures
and signs and having two revolv-
ing levers resembling the hands of
a clock, with which some very
complicated calculations, including
algebraical equations, could be
rapidly made.
This continuance is believed to
have been the actual forerunner of
modern slide rule.

Claims Against Japan
Total Kr. 10000, 900

STOCKHOLM. - The settlement
of Swedish claims against Japan,
totalling Kr. 100000, m a y have
to be the subject of direct nego-
tiations between the Swedish and
the Japanese Governments mas
much as the Washington agree
ment is not applicable to these
commercial transactions, a recent
Swedish report states.
Some of the claims date back
to tn e Sino-Japanese hostilities
during the 193O's, but the major
ity arose out of military action
during the Second World War
Swedish shipowners are particu-
larly concerned with these latter
claims. One case is that of the
Swedish motorship 'Miramar,'
which was seized by the Japanese
and subsequently taken over by
the Americans. Certain missionary
societies have also filed claims.

MAYFL0WER COMMITTEE
MEETT0PLAN AZ CAMPAIGN

The Mayflower Committee of
the Seattle Foundation of the
Swedish National Sanatorium held
its first meeting for the 1949 cam
paign at Hallbergs Cafe on Tues
day evening, April 18th. After
the success of 194S the commit
tee hopes that all who so gladly
contributed last May will do so
again knowing that they will be
helping some unfortunate one who
is suffering from tuberculosis. The
wonderful response in Seattle in
194S brought in net of S53S.S4
of which half or S269.42 went to
the Sanatorium and the other half
to the Samaritan Society of Sc
attic for use in local cases.
Following is a list of contribu-
tors in the 194s campaign who
through their generous response
helped to make up more than one
fourth of the State total of 1895. 40
which helped Washington rank
fifth in the nation in Mayflower
Sales.

Doctor Holds Persons
Need Bed TO Themselves

NEW YORK.-A room Of ones
own is one of the physical condi-
tons most conducive to a restful
night, according to DR.. Victor G.
Heiser, well known medical ad-
visor.
1t is the relationships with other
people that sap most of an indi-
vidual's daily energy, explains DR..
Heiser.
"Sleep is designed to rest the
conscious mind" he says. There
is little rest if it is kept near the
threshold Of our consciousness by
our Of another person."
Complete solitude is necessary to
relax from the contacts Of the day,
free from the need to attune oneself
to the moods and needs of another.
Only then can fatigue be eased so
that n is refreshed and ready for
the next day.
Unfortunately, il is not always
possible-especially in the crowded
living conditions and small homes
of today-to have a room Of ones
own. But, even if a room must be
shared, each person should have a
comfortable bed to himself.
Absolute relaxation and perfect
rest are never possible if a bed is
shared. Although both may sleep,
each person is still aware of the
presence of the other and this
awareness affects the restfulness Of
their sleep.
Tests have shown that the av-
erage person turns and moves 20
to as times a night, but when the
bed is shared these movements are
necessarily restricted. The indi-
vidual cannot move freely in such
a way as to thoroughly rest each
part Of his body. Only in a bed Of
his own can he turn and toss at
will, without disturbing or being
disturbed by another.
A room of ones own is ideal-s
bed of ones own is a necessity.

ECONOMIC GLANCE
US. Future
Looks Bright


NEW YORK. - Despite wha
appears TO be a general air o
gloom permeating most official ant
expert thinking on the probable fu
ture of the United States, n agen
cy thinks everything's going to b.
all right.
That organization is the Tween
tieth Century Fund, a non-profi'
foundation established in 1919 by
the late merchant prince and phil
anthropist. Edward A. Filene. It's
purpose is to carry on scientific
research and public education on
economic problems.
And, amid all the reports of re-
cessions. unemployment and de-
clining trade, the fund has sounded
a long-range note of optimism. In
a statistical study of American de-
velopment, past, present and fu-
ture, the agency says that by 1860
the United States could be provid-
ing adequate food, housing. educa-
ton and medical car for every
living American.
"We now have the highest stand
ard of living V attained by man."
said the study. THE average Amer
lean earns more money, eats better
food, has a better house, better
clothes, schools. theaters, more
co~nveniences than the average citi-
zen of any other country, anywhere,
at any time"
Dynamic Country
But that is nothing compared to
what we al do. Right now we are
just taking a little rest during the
march along the road of progress.
America is a dynamic country, al
ways expanding, always going for
ward. Despite occasional setbacks,
that is what the record shows as
far back as comprehensive statis-
tics are available.
1.-THE whole secret of our constant
advance is our ability to increase
our productivity. our output per
of work." says the fund.
I'VE have stepped this up from an
average of 27c worth of goods and
services turned out in an hours
work in 1850 to S1.15 in 1910 and to
an expected s1.61 or more in 1860.
(See chart in adjoining columns.)
I'VE have done this mostly by
substituting the machine for human
sweat and animal power. By 1860
We shall be using 100 times as much
mechanical energy per man-hour Of
work as we did in 1850.
This increased output per hour
is the only way to make
possible higher wages to workers,
over prices to consumers. greater
eturns to managers and owners,
md greater leisure for all Of u.s."

You're bound by chains around
your feet,
You smell the food, you may not
eat.
You stay inside, looking out
With aching back g. open mouth.
You work in sickness and in
health
You work until your muscles bend
And if you fall beneath your sack
You're whipped, and blood runs
down your back.
But freedom is not a tyrant's
might
You do the things you think are
right
And every day you try your best
So when night comes you go to
rest.
Freedom is for big and small
The flavor goes to one and all,
Thus our life was meant to be
For God granted us liberty.

Mr.. TOTEM VISITS AGAIN

Mn. EN VIOI1O AGIlN -
FOR PAST several days Ashley L. Totten, presi-
dent of the American Virgin Islands Civic Association, with
headquarters in New York, has been visiting in these islands.
1t has not been SO long since MI Totten visited his home, and
received the praise and expressions of appreciation from many
who knew him as of old, At that time he made public appear
ances, and addressed many groups.
THE PURPOSE OF his visit at this time is not known,
nor is it of particular concern. Mr.. Totten, over a period of
many years, has come to be identified with the struggle for
social and economic improvement in the Virgin Islands, SO it
is only natural that his visit to his homeland will attract atten-
ton. During the years since the Transfer, Mr.. Totten has writ
ten extensively, and been, on the whole, in the forefront of
politics touching the Islands.
NOT INFREQUENTLY has there been marked and
very decided riffs between local leaders and MI. Totten, and
the press and MI. Totten. Time and again the Avis has been
the subject of scathing criticisms, sometimes unfounded, from
the leader of the AVICA. But that is not material at present.
1t is enough to say, however, that MI. Totten occupies a rath-
er strategic position which he could very well use to great ad-
vantage, if he chooses. As leader of one of the largest groups
of Virgin Islanders on the mainland, he could make the
weight of that group felt in national politics, and help to bring
about about Congressional legislation in favor of the Islands.
Knowing this the AVIS has again and again made pleas for
cooperation, convinced that only through such cooperation
could anything be accomplished. But alas, to no avail, for
again and again there crop up the little incidents that tend to
turn back the hands of the clock.
NOW THAT Mr.. TOTEM is again visiting here he has
again an excellent opportunity to observe, at close range all
sides of all conditions. In the light of this new observation it
should be possible for him to return to his headquarters in
NeW York with new and better information, coupled with an
even greater resolution to make the best of his position in help
ing to bring about the measures which will benefit his home
