But as gasoline becomes scarcer and higher, it encourages efficiency developments of the kind referred and conscientious engineers are always moved by the laims of effieiency for its own sake. When enginegyhave been raised to maximum performance, there remains the problem of combining lightness with com- fort, safety and durability. But that is being doné to an ever-increasing extent. The average car of today may look, 20 years hence, like an old blunderbuss compared with a pres- ent-day rifle.

Edmund Stinnes is a student by. na- ture. has wanted to “study philosophy.” Now the iron will of his father has wrested that pursuit from him. He will live an unwilli lave to business s sons assented very This is unfortunate. There are enough of the Stinnes family without Edmund to look after the Stinnes' possessions: And perhaps it is of no great importance either to the family or to the world whether those possessions are kept intact. There are many captains of industry in the world, but there are not enough philosophers. And Germany, once rich in philosophy, is much in need of that commodity today.

In the middle of her talk, the micro- phone was disconnected and her speech ended abruptly. She ys the studio director told her that “what I was talking was too strong for the public.” This is the usual plea set forth to justify censorship. Imagine, just one man taking it on himself to decide what millions should or should not hear. Radio censorship would be a far worse monopoly than any corner on mechanical patents. Nip it in the bud. Radio censorship has MOVIES The production end of the moving picture industry con- finues moving eastward.

Forty-two per cent of the nation’s movie-goers are said to be in the eastern states bounded roughly on the north by Maine and south by Virginia. TRANGE Eighteen thousand volts of electricity mean certain death. Yet 900,000 volts passed through J. V. Alfriend Jr., and he’s still alive. This happened at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity. No one can satisfactorily explain why an over-dose of “juice” may on occasion be harmless compared with a few thousand volts. Electricity is_as mysterious as life, with which it seems to have some very close relation. Eseapes like Alfriend’s are exceptional. Young experi- menters should be extremely cautious.

They go around in a sort of trance. Being drowsy, they: are constantly off their guard. It takes a pow- erful emotional stimulant to rouse them—a loud shout, shrill auto honk or a spectacular appeal to the eye or to the primi- tive emotions.” Anyone who drives a car and notices absent-minded jay- walkers crossing the street without watching for danger will agree with the theory that many people are in a trance state. Another favorite form of trance is plodding along the wrong side of the walk, especially in a crowd. These peculiar specimens are so “dopey” that they do not even follow the '| line of least resistance, Instead, on the wrong side, they fight Hes way strenuously into the oncoming stream of pedes- rians, ' Then there’s the man who walks into an elevator ahead of a crowd and, instead of moving to the rear, stands close to the front, blocking most of the entrance. Everyone’hay noticed that on some, days he feels more wide awake and active than on others. One day he rises alert. and keen ag a razor, next’ day yawning, drowsy, thick- headed. -The “all in” sleepy feeling is usually caused by toxins— poisons that have accumulated in the body as a result ¢ improper diet, lack ef necessary exercise or insufficient sleep Any of these three is:as poisonous as over - indulgence in stimulants. ee eet These poisons, fortunately, “chloroform” the victim into a condition where he “can’t keep his eyes open.” Once asleep, nature begins throwing off the toxins and restoring his vitality and alertness: ; Undoubtedly there are people who rarely, if ever, have a yeally wide-awake day. Their bodies are either so full of poisons or naturally function so languidly that they go about in a trance. You seldom find a keen, alert, wide-awake man who is an out-and-out failure. His eager ambition may land him into disaster now and then, the same as running too fast, but in the long run he wins out. i ‘ And most failures—with, of course, exceptions—are’ the: victims of.not being wide, awake. Pp ee Success, therefore, is largely a matter of good health of the body and mind. Sensible food, outdoor exercise, fresh air, plenty of sleep—these are more than half the battle.
