QUESTIONS the first time you a to have fired the shot that killed | eyes the largest and most important war ever waged. But the war, big as it was, plays only a part in the sum total of all the achievements in that score of years. Probably never another score of years has seen so much attempted, and so much accomplished. | This is true in practically every field of human en-| deavor. It is especially true in the United States. | The century began with America one of the half dozen great powers. After 20 years have gone by the century sees the United States pre-eminently the one biggest. The country’s population in the 20 years has increased $0,000,000; its material wealth has increased from less than a hundred billions to an estimated five hundred billions of dollars. Never before has it been so evident that the greatest of all lands is the U.S. A. By way of proving that this is true: The United States produces 24 per cent of'the world’s wheat; 60 per cent of the cotton; 75 per cent of the corn; 40 per cent of the iron and steel; 20 per cent of the gold; 52 per cent of the coal; 60 per cent of the copper; 66 per cent of the oil, and 85 per cent of the automobiles. This is done by 6 per cent of the world’s population on 7 per cent of the world’s land. Surely the United States is a worth-while place to work in and live in. No thinking persons believe that this country) has reached the peak ofits growth; there are those who} believe the peak will not be reached this century. These are the most optimistic of Americans-——and there are many of them. They are the men and women who have placed the nation’s goal at such a high point that a century filled with scores as great as one we just finished cannot bring the} country to its ultimate destination. They, believe the second score of years will be immensely greater and better than the that 1921 will be a year of greater growth for America than was 1920. y Than that there could be no better outlook upon the New fear!

Yet scientists look for more revolutionary inno vations in the wireless of the future For instance, in 1914 Marconi in London lighted electric lamps with current sent six miles by wireless. That may have been the birth of lighting cities and operating machinery by current sent by wireless from distant sources of water-power. The Prince of Monaco has a piano on his yacht played by wirelen by a master musician ashore. At the Indiana state fair seconds by wireless waves sent miles away. Recently the 12,000-ton battleship Ohio was stripped of its crew and operated, steered and maneuvered entirely by wirelens from another ship. These remarkable performances suggest some of the practical uses to which wireless will be put in the future. Many of the innovations will | be American, for our wireless men are in the lead. Their latest exploit is the building of the world's biggest and most powerful wireless plant at Port Jefferson, on Long Island, It will open for bustr July 1, 1921, sending and receiving 1,000 words a minute.
