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?
