HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON. THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1930 PAGE THREE ( FRANK PARKER S STOCKBRIPCE WORK Half of all the work done in the world is done in the United States, says Dr. Thomas Thornton Read, Professor of Mining in Columbia University. The average American does thirty times as much work as the average Chinaman, two and one- half times as much as the average German, almost twice as much as the average Briton. Electrically- powered machinery is the answer; each American worker has the equivalent of thirty-five slaves at his command, who do not have to be fed out of his earnings. Europeans, puzzled by our pros perity, have attributed it to Amer ica's natural resources. We know better. We do more work. YOUNG Owen D. Young told a Senate committee that it will soon be pos sible for anybody to write a message in his own home or office and have it transmitted in his own handwrit ing, instantly, to any point in the world. All that needs to be done to accomplish this is a slight exten sion of existing telegraph facilities. Technically it is easy. Mr. Young's predictions are al ways entitled to respectful consid eration. He is one of the rare men who combines great busineas ability with a broad and statesmanlike view of public affairs. As the head of the international commission which worked out the plan for the World Bank to handle war repara tons payments he has a reputation in Europe even greater than in Am erica. He la a Democrat; otherwise he would have been in the cabinet of President Hoover, who is one of his warmest friends. KLEIN Keep an eye on Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, the young man from California who has been the center of the business conference at Washington. Dr. Kein Is a graduate of the Univer sity of California and of Harvard; he studied also in Berlin and Paris universities. He knows more about international trade than anyone else in America and, what is more im portant, he understands men and knows how to make industrial and business leaders pull together. He will go higher in public service. BARNES Another man to watch is Julius Barnes, head of the Chamber of Commerce of the U. S. Mr. Barnes has an office in New York, but spends most of his tim on the floor of the Produce Exchange where he has done more than any other one man or group of men to stabilize the price of export grain for the benefit of the American far mer. Mr. Barnes has not made a fortune for himself out of his wheat operations, which he took over after the War from the U. S. Food Ad ministration. He has charged him self with the duty of seeing that American grain goes where it is needed and that the price is fair to buyer and seller. Mr. Barnes is one of the Presi dent's most intimate personal friends, perhaps the most intimate. His hobby is the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, which he believes can be made the most useful construc tive force in American business, and he has the faculty of making big business men believe him. MORROW When the international commis sion on naval disarmament which is to meet In London In January finishes its work, If it does not break up in a row, one man whose influ ence will have had a large part in the conclusions arrived at will be Dwight W. Morrow. "The smartest man in the world" Is the way the editor-ln-chlef of a big New York daily referred to him in conversa tion the other day. Success has not spoiled Mr. Mor row or his family. They live In the pleasant but decidedly not "smart" suburb of Englewood, N. J., in much the same way as any ordinary fam ily of midde-class Americans. Being a partner of J. P. Morgan, Ambas sador to Mexico, the next Senator from New Jersey, has not impres sed Mr. Morrow with the necessity of keeping his trousers creased and otherwise dressing like a bond sales man. One of his daughters Is a school-teacher; another, as every one knows, married "Slim" Lind bergh. Just plain Americans to whom "society" means nothing.

BRUG The Critical Hour Should you ask the captain of the traffic-police to refer to his records he could tell you almost exactly how many men and women will be in jured on the streets on any partic ular day of the year. Moreover, he could tell you at what hour of the day the probability of accident is greatest I saw only recently in a medical magazine a study of the figures for the city of New York. The early morning hours are comparatively safe; the light is good in those hours; men and women are clear headed from the night's long sleep, and traffic is not so dense. Grad ually through the morning the ac cidents increase; and In the after noon the figures mount alarmingly until, in the late afternoon, be tween five o'clock and six, the high est point is reached. That is the hour of crisis when the day's work is over and men turn from their benches and their desks. The critical hour, the experts call It, and they have named it well, for in that hour Fate plays hard tricks with the bodies and the souls of men. I- often wonder about it, when I sit in my office on the fifteenth floor and watch the lights going out I one after another in the office build ings opposite. Every light snapped off means a desk pulled down, and a man starting away from his work. What thoughts are in his mind, as he turns up his overcoat collar and steps Into the street? Are there children and a woman waiting for him, somewhere in the suburbs? A faithful little woman, taking off the baby's shoes, and say ing every time the whistle of a train is heard: "Do you think that Daddy is on that train?" Is this the picture that is in his mind at the critical hour? Or has he telephoned that he "is kept downtown by business and won't be out until late"? Does the twilight that draws its veil across his work lift the man higher than the level of the day's occupation? Or does it sink his thoughts lower, to meaner occupa tions and baser joys? It seems to me if I were hiring a man, I should like very much to know what thoughts are in his mind, in that critcial hour. I should like to know whether, if one could look into his soul, as through a win dow, the man would stand straight with pride under that scrutiny, or blush with embarrassment. In the whirl of the business day, when the routine things carries us along, we tend to be a good deal alike in our mental processes. We are not so interesting then. But the clock strikes five or five-thirty, and we are no longer clerks or plumb ers or millionaires, but men our thoughts set free. What do we think of them, at the critical hour. between five and six, when we are hurrying away from our work the hour when the lights are glaring and, outside our souls and in, the accidents occur?
