RONTHEPLANED ecent World Acceleration| ICredited Largely to Machine l and Technical Methods.

Practically every depart- ment of life is dependent on some form of the machine. Without it population would not grow, because people would | starve.) “A century ago,” Scott says, “these TUnited States had a population of ap- proximately 12,000,000, whereas today our census figures give a total of over 122,000,000—a tenfold increase in the century. “One hundred years ago in these United States we consumed less than 175.000,000,000,000 British thermal units (& measure of encrgy) per annum, ‘whereas in 1929 we consumed approx- imately 27,000,000,000,000,000 ° British | thermal units—an increase of 353-fold in the century. Energy Consumption. “Our energy consumption now exceeds 150,000 kilogram calories per capita per day, whereas in the year 1800 our con- sumption of extraneous energy was probably not less than 1,600 or more than 2,000 kilogram calories per capita per_day. “The United States of our forefathers, with 12,000,000 inhabitants, performed its necessary work in almost entire dependence upon the human engine, which, as its chief means of energy conversion, was aided and abetted only by domestic animals and a few water wheels. “The United States today have one billion installed horse power. In 1929 thesa engines of energy conversion, though operated only to partial capacity, nevertheless had an output that repre- senied epproximately 50 per cent of the ork of the world. * * * sical science has outdistanced nt sccial institutions to such an % that man, for the first time fn finds himself occupying a posi- n which he knows enough to this country so as to provide Hiciently for all Pathway Blockaded. “Man, in his age-long struggle for leisure and the elimination of toll, is now at last confronted not only by the possibility, but by the probability of this arrival.
