And the plumb- ing of the new regime must all be ‘“open,’” for there will be no ‘secret treaties.” But who will this Great Renai Not Artists, a are gone and play the ance ? in “leads” in Not Philosophers, as in Age of Perfection. Nor lawyers with “pecedents”—nor political “stump’ speakers, will be able to put a reeling planct back in its right orbit. By a Belgian Relief Commissioner asks, “Do you realize that within ten years the engineers of this country will be the deciding factors in the govern- ment?” Strong meat this, “enough to the give us pause,” as the phrase-monger | ter all, isn't there | would say. But something to the challenge? Engineering certainly has taken its place with the historic professions, Law, Medicine and Theology, and these must heed the presence of the | new arrival—philosophy in overalls. 'Tis our engineers these days who are shaping in terms of human experience the abstractions of the laboratory, not the Mystics; and the machine-shop, not the sheitered grove, setting the pace for industrlal progress. Uncle Sam ‘‘cleaned up house” for mediaeval Europe, hut to achieve supremacy in the rewards of peace he will also have to capture the markets of the world. Internal prosperity will not be enough, for national strength is in direct ratio to foreign trade. Nations satisfied with a provincial performanee fade from history’s pages. Perplexing readjustments, and many are in the wake of the feverish demands of peace, need subtler solu- tion than foreign investments. Qur ships of trade can be victorious on the seven seas, our mills kept run- ning full speed on, but newer econo- mies must constantly be improvised and the old national foe, Waste, for- ever slain. *“Quick aetion" must be avoided and careful ‘“advance plan- ning” perfected. All this spells en- gineering in its finest sense and makes for an efiiciency such as supervi 1 our war industries, the suceessful co- ordination of which gave humanity the strings te draw the curtain for all times on the ghastly Pageant of Autocracey. But if we “walk away" think we are going to with the world's busi- ness without many “star bouts,” we are in for a rude awakening. Since 1914, England has bought fifty million dollars worth of machine tools and organized a huge army of woman workers, most of whom had never be- fore been inside a factor: years have girded Britain's loins with industrial confidence. Germany even before her defeat on the field, with characteristic thoroughness, planned out back-stair campaigns to capture international trade. Dot feller Fritz is 2 smart feller, so watch out for the old “made in Germany” bird under camouflage of a Spanish or a Holland- aise dressing. Let's face the facts as bravely. as we face bullets. In problems calling for industrial finesse, our methods ofttime are crude enough, as witness the Aircraft Production Board. And before the war we couldn’t make our railroads pay—Iled the world in un- employment, and scraped away on a bad third fiddle in the Export Over- ture of the Nations. Any mural decorator will tell you that Commerce is the Horn of Plenty And Wealth, the greatest weapon of a triumphant democracy, is the gift of applied science. Men do any harder now than they ever did and never were there more intensive thinkers than the Groeks. These At- tic philosophers, however looked upon exa¢t knowledge as a pitiable thing and treated it like = metaphysical step-child. Plato, you remember, boasted that he didn’t know how to pack his valise and Socrates's igno- rance of natural science was pathetic. The engineering renown of the mili- tary heroes of the Great War rests on their genius for destruction. They smashed the foe, unloosing Force in all its primordial nakedness and savagery. Industrial engineers didn’t w for world chaos to “eliminate non-essentials,” their de: have al- ways been quiet battlegrounds for quiet processes of the mind. Long time they trod the ways of peace where was no martial musie, “seek- no ‘“bubble reputation at the can- non’s mouth,” as again they shall go back into throbbing noisy shipyards—into sooty mills, to grapple, as part of their “day’s worl,” | with the gigantic job of a world’s re- cuperation.

All Shipments Now Go to Jobbers For Redistribu- tion. When struck the country our warehouse and jobbers' stocks al- most over-night, we were faced with the problem of distributing—to the stricken districts—in the quickest possible manner—our daily output of VapoRub. We solved this by offer- ing to ship direct to the retailers in these influenza districts, by parcel post prepaid, quantities of not more than three dozen VapoRub in any one shipment, and by shipping what was left from our daily production to our jobbers by express instead of | freight. This problem the influenza and epidemic wiped out was costly, but it solved for the time being. however, wo find that these small shipments are constantly increasing —we have received as many as 1,306 in a single mail It is becoming the Now, im- | THE VICK CHEMIC AL INCITY SCHOOLS, Several New Rooms Must Be Opened Next Term The school board held a special | meeting yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock and several matters portance were brought up.

Will Advse Pupils At the meeting yesterday Lieuten- ant Wheelock, before being commis- sioned in the army was a member of the teaching staff of the Vocational High school, was chosen as the voca- tional guide in the city schools. The idea of having a vocational guide is new in the local schools. As the name implies, it will be the duty of M. Wheelock to study the characters | of the boys under him and determine as far as possible the best vocation in life for which they are fitted. He will also make a special study of the vocational training given in the school and will study the nceds of the manufacturers. It will also be a part of his duties to know the manu- facturers, to learn their requirements, and to try and meet their demands. He will study each child individually and will help each one to determine for himself the best calling for his life work. Mr. Wheelock is especial- ly fitted for this branch of work in that he was an instructor in the pre- vocational school before entering the army and he known the general lay- out of the work. The addition of the vocation guide to the school train- ing is expected to work out well. of im- | to ac- More Teachers Needed. The need of more teachers was brought to the attention of the board it was learned that the sixth of the Sacred Heart of Jesus school, under the direction of Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, will have to be discontinued because of the inability to secure teachers for the school. A a result the education of these pupils e be provided for and it is a matter of provid for 100 or more pupily after the Christmas va- cation.

While we have put on a shift and have, thereby, about doubled our production, we are still unable to fill our back orders and won’t be able to give each jobber all the VapoRub he wants. Henes, | it will be necessary for the jobbers to continue distributing VapoRub in small lots only. But we will be able to furnish each jobber at least twice the quantity of VapoRub that he purchased for the corresponding month last year, so there should not be any difficulty in your getting your pro rata share.
