PRODUCE! ~ - A great English’ essayist has said ‘that ‘he who makes two blades of grass grow, where only one grew before, has done more for his nation than all';hn ¥ace ‘of politicians put together.”:: This may need mpdification but it has a germ of trnth that cals’ for almighty emphasis. The world: of ‘human- kind is clamoring for results. The cry of the hour is for action, quick, definite, purposeful and pro- ducing. The three grelt elements of eloquence we are told are “First, action; second, ACTION; third, ACTION. - There is na eloquence like the cry of hunger and need and there is neither limit nor inter- mission to the cry. From: every point of the circle of the four winds comes the cry Give! Give! Pro- duee' Produce! Produce! A needy world is crying to the laborer to pro- duce. We are getting accustomed to the reply: “All out,” “Back ordered,” “Will report when we can replenish’our stocks;” We ask the manufacturer why we cannot get what we require, “and the answer is “Strikes, reduction in supplies “of raw material, shortage of men, shortage of power.” Shortage, shortage, everywhere. Long on nothing but wind and words. Hear the words of the Cmfumsn of Canaan: “I must needs work the work of Him that sent me while it is yet day, for the night cometh when no man can work.” As He looked at human needs, as the cry of the suffering world rang in His ears was there any suggestion of a six-hour dly’ Not on record. We have a picture of Him producing filling for hungry stomach, healing for the minds diseased. No toiler ever so far forgot himself in his ministry to the needy. There is nothlng so needfal at present as the spirit and pnctlce of the Canaanean Craftsman in the producmg world. The needy world’s cry must also ring on the ears of the employer. laboratories, labor saving inventions, new’ methods. He is doing what he may..to produce..what. the people need and. with such speed :as is possible. to him. But we must ask, is he toiling for the dollar 2nd the dividend, ‘or:is he working for the greatest good of the greatest number? His business - is not alone to produce wealth. ' Hz2 must produce manhood, and brotherhood. There must be a liv- ing wage and an adequate return. If he will study the hearty happiness of every profit sharing con- - cern and the enthusiasm of all workers who are not “hands” but hearts, not “machines,” but men, he will be ccnvinced that our way out of the present He has eqnippad splendid -~ distress is not by force, nor scorn, nor “in flesh’and blood but by the “big set foljth by the Mightiest of Mechani THE MAN WITHOUT A HOME.

Toranto, which contai - o~e ~f the finest harhcrs in Italy, is‘situated in the inside of the heel of the boot of Southern Italy. In the olden days it was cne of the most splendid cities of Magna Graecia and was the leading Greek city in Italy. It con- tains many fine old ruins among which is an amphitheatre and =« Greek temple, "ot of which are excellent examples of early Greek architecture. The United States maintains at _.present a force of twelve destroyers znd several cruisers in the Mediter- ,ranean to watch over the interests ‘of7its citizens and to give reliéf and £uccor where most needed to the na- tive folk.

Altitude flights by army ‘aviators have shown the existence, at a height of 25,000 feet or more above the earth, of a strong west wind, whose velocity is estimated at perhaps 175 miles per: hour. These flights also have shown that there {s not a continuous redc- tion in temperature as altitude 'in-; creases. The flights have tested a supercharger, which is expected to be of considerable milltary and commer- clal’ value. For military purposes its use will' be to increase greatly the speed of airplanes at altitudes. “For commercial purposes, itis said that the’ supercharger “will’ enable heavy pas- sénger or express carrying airplanes to climb over-the highest mountains: with ; the use: -of comparatively ‘low |- powered and low priced engites.
