PASSING "F 1919 MARKED CENTURY OF INVENTIONS

(Kansas City Star) . .The end of the year marked what is likalv la . the future to be called the

century of Invention. It began with the discovery of photography in 1820. That was an epoch-maker, to be sure. "To fix and perpetuate reflections such as a mirror returns to the eye" that was the problem ' which had puzzled many a thinker long before it was , solved , by Niepce and Daguerre, t The- last one hundred years have seen greater progress in mechanical invention than was achieved in all previous history. Mankind, assuming the role of Aladdin, has rubbed - the wonderful lamp, and science has brought into being a multitude of marvels undreamed of a century ago. The first lucifer match was struck In 1827. Eight years later the electric telegraph was Invented. Shorthand writing (originally called "phonography") was given to the world in 1837 by Isaac Pitman. Ellas Howe patented the sewing machine in 1854. The first passenger elevator or "lift," was installed in 1864. The elevator also was an epoch making Invention, for it rendered tall office buildings and lofty apartment houses possible. But the first "skyscraper" in New York city was not erected until 1881. In 1876 the typewriter was exhibited as a curiosity; It did not begin to come into -use until 1883. The boasted civilization in 1880 knew not the telephone, the mechanical typsetter, the cash register, the "safety" bicycle, the electric light, the electric street car and the many industries which today are based upon the utilization of electricity. The self-binding harvester, which saves the labor of hundreds of thousands of men, did not come into being until 1880; and practically all of the 1 marvelous American inventions in the iway of agricultural machinery have (been evolved in the last thirty-nine ; years. , Westinghouse was 21 years old when he applied to Cornelius Vanderbilt for Ihelp in introducing the airbrake a : contrivance destined wholly to revolu- ; lionize railroading. The great man ; laughed to scorn the idea of ."stopping trains with wind," and dismissed him, saying that he had no time to waste on fools. A century ago there was no such thing as an adhesive postage stamp. Ericsson's screw propeller, of course, nma a , i ... a ....1 f '

iiuic aucnmiu. canned - foods are a new idea, relatively speaking. Likewise cold storage, and artiticial ice. One is naturally tempted to ask whether mechanical progress is destined to keep on at such a rate. Possibbly it will. But human ingenuity has its limits, and one may venture to believe it at least probable that the period covered by the last hundred years always will hold its place in the history pf mankind as the century of greatest invention.

. "The man they are thinking of," he used to say, "Is Pershing. It was he I jumped over the heads of several hundred other army officers. I'd do it again, by thunder, if the same occasion arose!. Wood got his big jump from McKInley, and all I ever gave him were the promotions due him in the. usual course of seniority. I've tried a hundred times to straighten this out in the public mind, but I don't suppose IH ever succeed. The public seems to want to believe this myth. "President McKinley gave Wood his big jump in the regular establishment, after he took him out of. the Rough Riders. I gave Pershing his big jump long after I hid succeeded Mr. McKinley in the White House. "It came about in this way: Pershing was doing brilliant work In the Philippines. All the official reports showed him a man of energy and initiative, who could be depended upon to do what he was sent to do, and about whom you did not have to worry. The unofficial reports that came back squared with all this. Both left no room for doubt as to the caliber and quality of the man. "Now about this time the line of promotion in the army became clogged. It needed new colonels and lieutenant colonels, but the law would not permit the appointment of men immediately below these ranks that were of the quality needed. Congress would not change the law. "I had, however, (he right to a point brigadier generals. I made Pershing one. Therefore, you might say

that congress, by refusing me the right to make him a colonel of lieutenant

"I am very fond of Wood, and I know he is of me, but in my years in the presidency, Wood never took any advantage of our intimacy or in the slightest degree presumed on our friendship. If anything, he leaned backward in this respect."

Increase in Employes of Leading Industries Shown (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. Increases in the number of workers employed in 10 or the 13 leading industries are showing in figures made pbulic today by the Bureau of Labor stalstlcs. Comparing the figures of the same establishment for last December with December, 1918, the largest increase, 26.9 per cent, appeared in the manufacturing industry. Eleven industries showed an increase in payrolls, men's ready made clothing showing an increase of 96.4 per cent and the woolen industry 58.7 per cent. Comparing December with November of this year there was an Increase in the number of workers of the 13 industries, the greatest increase, 18.3 per cent being in the iron industry. An increase in the' amount of money paid employes in December as against November is shown in the pay rolls of 12 of the industries, cotton manufacturing leading with an increase of 23.7 per cent.

"We have farmers calling up here even on a day like this or those earlier in the week to demand an explanation for the delay in mail service, said Superintendent Foreman.

Mr. Jones was one of the organizers of the school in 1914, and has never missed a session. Details of the program have been arranged and the annual meetings of the County Surveyors' association, County Highway Superintendents' association and Highway Contractors' association will he held in- connection with the schoo'j which is expected to attract from 150 to 200 men interested in road building in Indiana.

BASEBALL, BASKET MEN WILL MEET Managers of the independent basketball teams entered in the tourney to be held in February will meet at George Brehm's store next Sunday

afternoon. Feb. 1. Drawing up of I

fchedules, posting of guarantees, presenting of reserve lists of players and ether arrangements, will be made. Interest in this tournament is daily prowing stronger. Promoters will probably have to extend the list of teams to 10 or 12, as several nearby towns have made application. Managers of the baseball teams of the proposed Suburban baseball league will hold a meeting at the same place at the same time. Both meetings are important and all managers are to be present.

Board Considers Increase In Friends Foreign Force Reports from all the mission fields under the jurisdiction of the American

Friends Board or Foreign Missions were read at. a meeting of executive

committee of the board in the Five Years Meeting central offices Friday morning. Although the matter will be left to the ultimate decision of the en- . lire board, steps for an Increased staff in Palestine were taken at the meeting Friday morning. There are now seven missionaries in Palestine, four of whom have jus; gone out ,of whom Moses Bailey, a graduate of Earlham college, is a member. At least one additional worker will be appointed for the coming year, it is reported. Keen need for a larger staff was expressed in the Palestine report. From Mexico came a call for inl creased work and more workers. The need for Intensive effort during the : coming year was especially urged.

Very little hindrance has been given the missionaries through political unrest, the report stated. Were internal coenditions unruly the staff would not asw for such additional missions as they have, it was said. ,

CENTER FAVORED FOR FOOTBALL CAPTAIN

It was only a few years ago that the quarter back was quite prominent on the list of football captains-elect, hut the list for 1920 fails to show the field general of the gridiron to marked advantage. . In a list of captains for 1920, made up from the announcement already made on elections, the center gets the call over any other position on the eleven. From a list of 31 eastern teams no less than six pivot, men have been honored, with such notables as Syracuse, Pittsburg, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia picking the

center man. Half backs lead in one respect, since eight of the 31 captains named below

are so listed, but in view of the fact that each team has two half backs to a single pivot man the six centers take premier ranking to eight half backs. Tackles and full backs rank next in line, each with five captains, with four quarter backs, three ends, and two guards completing the list. Following is the list of captainselect as announced up to this time: College and Player. Position. Syracuse, H. J. Robertson ....Center Dartmouth, J.

The opening of the much talked of International Sporting club in New York has beer, postponed until the completion of its clubhouse, which is expected to be some time late in the summer or in the fall. In making this announcement Secretary Empie also stated that Jimmy Wilde's contract with the club has been cancelled and the little Englishman will not have the honor of opening the most important club in the history of the American ring. Wilde's contract was cancelled because of his poor showing against Jack Sharkey, who defeated the little Englishman in a bout at Milwaukee a few weeks ago. Wilde was a disappointment and the officers of the International Sporting club decided that he would not do for the opening attraction. A clause in the contract permits the club to cancel the match if Wilde's drawing power becomes affected. It was originally planned to -open the club in temporary Quarters in the Lexington opera house with Wilde and Joe Lynch as the head liners. Now

Hotel, April 6, 7 and 8, and it is ex-; pected that a large number of dele- j gates will be in attendance. j This convention, like the national j to be held in Chicago in February, will no doubt be the last convention held

: by the Franchise League, as such, and

for that reason will be in the nature of a Jubilee Convention. i This will be a very important con-j vention because it will decide the future of the Woman's Franchise ! League whether it will cease to be i

altogether, now that its suffrage work is over, or wheather it will continue under some other name and for some other purpose. A large body of suffragists are interested in having the organization merge into the non-partisan League of Women voters, tollowing the example of many of the states where the federal amendment has recently been ratified. The main object of the League of Women Voters is not to induce the women to be individually non- partisan and not to form a woman's party,- but as a non-partisan organization to keep the women together so that they may more effectively work for legislation of special interest of women and children, and for the enactment of law3 for the advancement of all. Indiana will have 45 delegates and 45 alternates in the National Suffrage convention, Feb.. 12-18, and a great many league will send women in addi

tion to their delegates. Any suffragist will have no difficulty in obtaining admission to the convention. , South Lags on Ratification. The legislature of Mississippi is now in session, and the house defeated the ratification by a large majority. Suffrage workers are still expecting a break in the "solid South," however, and it is believed the National Democratic party will dealize the importance of ratification in the South, and

use all possible pressure to get rati-, 5 fication in those states. El Demand for Suffrage Pamphlets.
