lectuals. Aside from. their undeniably just criti

cisms, their phantasms and fantastic notions arei

chiefly directed at the wyong end of the problem, how to save people from the results of. their mistakes and vices but not from their vices and the causes of their mistakes.

Civilization in the United States" is the title

of(iat recently; published book representing the opinion? pt fome thirty American investigators, molt ofHhem apparently of the younger set of

radical intellectuals. Thirtv deDartments of

American, .life are covered ranging from phil ospphy arid law to music and sex.

" The work is devoted to frank dissatisfaction with American life in general and in particulars. It is full of the phantasms and fantastic notions that only the, gray matter of radical intellectuals

can conceite.S As far as it goes in this direction,!

it is diverting and amusing, provided the reader has not reached that stage of ossified dignity where'ajaugh at one's own expense is no longer funny; Other parts of the work, however, hurt, with' the hurt that only truth can impart. The editor of these thirty essays in the preface lays hi finger on the weakest point in American civilization, its hypocrisy. His words are worth repeating. - "In .almost every branch of American lif-j there'-'is a ; sharp, dichotomy (division) ' between preaching and practice; we let not our right hand ""know; what our left hand doeth. Curiously enough, no one regards this, and yi fact no one

consciously feels this as hypocrisy. There are certain, abstractions and dogmas which are sacred to us, and if we fall short of these external standards in our private life," that is,, no reason for submitting them to a fresh examination; rather are we to worship them the more vociferously to show our sense of sin. Regardless, then, of the -theoretical excellence or stupidity of these standards,' in actual practice the moral code resolves itself into the one cardinal heresy of being found "oiit,' with the chief sanction enforcing it, the if ear of what people will say' . As might be more tersely put, many Americana worship a, mythical eleventh commandment, Thou shalt not be found out by thy fellow

man

Too many Americans are sold to the doctrine,

do as I say, not as I do. They are prototypes of those people of old who gave food for thought to a : philosopher, -and, brought forth from him the saying that people "wish to be saved from the mischief of their vices' but not from their vices." And that-brings us back to the radical intel-

Unemployment Situation is Improved Less unemployment nationally among engineers, evidencing improved business conditions, was reported recently , by the American Engine eering Council of the Federated American Engineering Societies. In a statement describing the situation for the last three months, Walter V. Brown, manager of the federation's employment service, which covers the entire country, said that a period of marked betterment had set in. "The improvement indicates," the statement said, "that we are on an up curve, which is very definite and very progressive, but not sharp. It is not a heavy grade, but it is distinctly encouraging;' L. W. Wallace, executive secretary of the federation, says that engineers look for improved

conditions generally and that they are active in

seeking out the causes of business depression and in co-operation with other national agencies in finding a remedy. i A For the last three months, -according to the federation, the outlook has grown more hopeful. Increased employment opportunities prevail rather uniformly in the major, branches of engineering. The outcome was unexpected. Spring construction work, it was said, natur

ally widened the employment field for the civil engineers, but the advantage which this class of engineer possesses has been offset by the radio enthusiasm, which has aided very materially

the mechanical engineers and the electrical engineers, and, according to the engineering federation's records, in about the same proportion. The federation's unemployment service, in the conduct of which the big so-called founder societies share, has placed 870 men in ingeering positions since January 1. At present from 10 to 15 professional engineers a day are finding places. Most of these are university and technical school graduates. The fact that more engineers are returning to active work, it was pointed out, indicates that large numbers of men in subordinate positions are also necessarily obtaining work-in the engineering and allied fields. The tremendous demand for radio apparatus is exceeding the ability of the manufcturers to turn it out it is said, and is likely to exercise a growing influence upon unemployment conditions.

POCKETS When I was a small boy the thing that interested me most when I got a new suit of clothes was' how many pockets it contained. I have just counted the pockets ln the suit that I now am wearing and find exactly 15! I could probably get along very well with only half a dozen of these pockets of mine but I am somewhat of the opinion that I would miss the others to quite an extent. Not long ago, I noticed that my tailor had omitted one small one that I had' always had in other suits, and it was so missed that I had it putin. With many pockets we are not half so lonesome. I find myself going through my own whenever I have leisure moments, and I pull out a joke, a fine phrase or sentiment or poem, clipped from somewhere or a helpful letter sent from someone who wanted to cheer and help. And then I am glad I had pockets! There is something very intimate and personal about a pocket. It's all yours. We men have It all over the ladies when it comes to pockets and I am very sorry. I am of the opinion that if there were more pockets in the clothes of .women, there would be fewer nervous' wrecks among them. For them to go through their pockets every once in a while and find amusement and profit would materially benefit them. Not that they don't have enough to do as it is but by going through their pockets they would get change and diversion. I like to think of my mind as lined with pockets. In this one a beautiful poem that I long ago committed to memory. In another some lovely and generous sentence uttered by someone who wanted to make me happy the words of a mother the thrilling tale of some adventure the picture of a great -event in history, and so on. But empty pockets how useless they are! Have you ever stepped up to someone you loved and slipped a lfttle gift into their pocket? If you have, how you were thrilled at the smila of surprise. But pockets are of little value unless they are emptied frequently and refilled.

Safety First Maxims

All railroad crossings ought to be labeled with skull3 and crossbones, like other poisons! i They say lightning never strikes twice In tie same place; which is plenty often enough to suit most of us! Another fine place to go slow and probably stop is when some old acquaintance asks us to pat our ilst on a note of his! The way you feel when somebody acts like he would walk out right c front of your auto is just the same way a motorman or engineer feels when you whiz right up to the track in front of him, before you slow down!

Musings for the Evening SPRING Sweet 13 the smell of grass and clovei To the careless springtime rover.The daisies and the violets, That the dew of morning wets; The sunshine on the breeze-Bwept meadows, The babbling brooks, the sylvar shadows These and countless other pleasures Grant delight beyond all measures To the thoughtless springtime rovei And the maiden and her lover. In the fall there are delights; Swetest dreams on summer nights; Winter even has Its pleasures. But of all the season's treasures None compares with wealthy spring's "Spring is king!" the robin sings. All the seasons bow before him

All the beasts and fowls adore him; Beauty beams enthroned beside him; Night reluctant is to hide him. Children dance among the flowers. Chasing away the doleful hours. i Spring is fresh and fair as they; Artless, undented and gay; Blithe as shouting youth at play. There are fairies in the spring ;

When the winds are whispering. .

You can hear their voices clearly. Mellow, mystical and cheerly. ' In the purling streams and rushes, In the liquid notes of thrushes,

in the laughing waterfalls.

In the owl's nocturnal calls,

In gurgling springs and nodding flow

ers,

And pattering of vernal showers! While pampered life forgets to sting.

And youth and age together sing, ;

O let our panegyrics ring In praise of sovereign spring!

No. 164 An Instantaneous Knot. A bandkercMef Is held by corners diagonally opposite, between the fingers of each Land. The Lands are merely brought together and drawn apart quite rapidly. A knot has appeared in the center of the cloth. The trick depends upon a shift of fingers, executed when the hands come together. Hold the handkerchief exactly as shown in the first figure, each corner between the first and second Sfigers. As the hands come together, the left hand is turned back up, while the right thumb comes up under the handkerchief. (Fig. 2.) As the hands mect; the left end of the handkerchief is clipped between the thumb and second finger of the right hand, and the right end is similarly taken by the left hand. The forefingers are raised, releasing the original hold, and the hands are simply drawn apart. The knot is tied automatically. Cowrloht, lilt, bv Public Ledger Company

REP. M. B. MADDEN Overseeing the Job of cutting billions of the national expense account is the job of Representative M. B. Madden, chairman of the house committee

on appropriations. The raising of nearly $1,000,000,000 annually for interest on the war debt will prevent the g o v e r nment from getting back to the $2,000,000,000 annual budget of pre-war days for some time. The amounts cut from the yearly appropriations will hasten this return. Mnrlrlon la n T?-
