We Can't Fight Change
When I was a small boy in the
country we had a good old neigh
bor named Daniel Roe, who owned
a cranberry meadow. He brought
the water for flooding his meadow
through a deep ditch from a lake
about a quarter a mile away.
Half of every summer of his life
he spent digging the dirt and stones
which had follen into that ditch.
We kids used to go over and
watch him dig. There was a big
stone by the side of the ditch which
was shaped roughly like an arm
chair. There he would eat his
lunch at noon, and smoke his pipe.
We called the stone Mr. Roe's
chair.
In fullness of time he died. His
son sold the meadow, and it was
abandoned. My father bought the
ditch, most of which ran through
our woods, and every summer we fill
a little piece of it up with junk and
garbage and cover it over with dirt.
Last summer I walked through
the woods and stopped at Mr. Roe's
chair. Already the ditch is half
destroyed. In five years more it
will be gone.
All his sweat and strain and back
ache for nothing. No trace of his
life work left!
In a New York club I talked with
an eminent architect, who said that
the glorious days had vanished from
his profession. The architects of
Greece and Rome left monuments
that are eternal. The modern archi
tect has so such hope. He himself
had designed three houses in New
York so magnificent that he ex
pected them to carry his name to
future generations. All three have
been torn down to make way for
apartment buildings.
I talked with a clergyman who
had recently visited a city parish
where he had labored successfully
thirty years ago. That portion of
the city has now become a slum.
The old families have scattered to
the suburbs. The church is closed
"What is left," he exclaimed sad
ly, "to show for all my labor?"
I told him that people are left
the sons and daughters of -- men
and women to whom his sermons
were preached.
"Your hearers trained their chil
dren in righteousness," I said, "and
they will train their children."
We can't fight change, and it is
well that we can't How dull life
would be if everything were per
manent. How wonderful that each
new generation has the fun of tak
ing the world apart and putting it
together again.
The church may be closed, the
house torn down, the ditch filled
up. But Mr. Roe and the architect
and the preacher each built a mon
ument in the lives of the people
whom he served.
We can do as much; and it is all
that we can do.
the land between them and the sea.
Old ocean beds make good farms
everywhere. Holland's farms are
almost entirely on reclaimed sea-
bottom, and another 300,uuO acres
of ocean has just been diked off and
is being pumped out to add to the
agricultural area. Much of Flor
ida's best land has only lately been
reclaimed and now a project is on
foot to irrigate the Sahara desert
and make it the world's garden spot
WASHINGTON
The National Capital is repidly
becoming the most beautiful city in
America, one of the most beautiful
cities of the world. I first went to
Washington as a boy, nearly fifty
years ago, and have seen it grow
from a mudhole ornamented in
spots with beautiful structures and
monuments, into something which
now begins to resemble the har
monious, stately design of the great
Frenchman, Major L'Enfant, whom
George Washington employed to
lay out the city named after himself.
Just now there is being spent in
Washington on public buildings and
grounds, parkways and the like, a
total of $314,250,000.
Washington was planned to face
East and South from the Capitol
and the White House, respectively.
Real estate speculators of the 1790's
bought up the desirable lots and
held them at such high prices that
the city grew north and west in
stead and new fronts had to be put
on the White House and the Capi
tol, the back doors of which faced
the city as it is now.

BANKS
A. P. Giannini told a Congres
sional committee the other day that
branch banking would eventually
supersede the present system of in
dependent local banks in the United
States, as it has done In Canada
and largely in England. Small vil
la ona he said, cannot support a
bank with sufficient resources to
meet the growing industrial needs
of small towns.
Mr. Giannini is probably right
There are good-sized cities in the
Untied States whose progress has
been held back by lack of adequate
local banking capital and by the
narrow outlook of local bankers.
The prejudice against "chain" own
ership of any kind of business ex
tends to banks as well as to stores,
but as in the case of chain stores,
the remedy is in the hands of the
community. Independent banks,
like retailers, can compete with
"chain" institutions if they will ad
opt the modern methods of the
chains and provide themselves with
sufticinet resources to make compe
tition effective.
CRIPPLES
One of the things which we are
beginning to learn is that the worst
thing we can do for a person who
has been disabled by disease or acci
dent Is to coddle him or her, and the
best thing that can be done is to
train the remaining faculties to use
ful work.
The Veterans Bureau has finished
its rehabilitation work with men
who were injured in the World
Wir nnH rennrts that every man
who is capable of any sort of pro
ductive effort is now at work some
where. But the Federal Govern
ment is cooperating with the states
to provide the same sort of rehabil
itation training for victims of In
dustrial accidents and of crippling
diseases like lniantne paraiysia.
nnlv a few states are giving coop
eration, but in those surprising re
sults have been achieved.
Leaving out the benefit of society
by not having to support the crip
ple In Idleness, there Is a definite
value to the injured person in the
discovery that he Is still able to earn
a living.
STUPIDITY
nDtfv.a nfflninls in Seattle re
120 conies of a Ger
man medical book, Imported by a
Seattle dealer for sale to the med
ical men of the Northwest. The
ground for the seizure was that the
contents of the book were "indeli
cate." The book is a learned trea
tise on biology, which word is mere
ly a technical term meaning "life."
Life, apparently, Is indelicate, In
the eyes of the United States Cus
toms. But human life only. Nobody
tries to suppress books which deal
with the breeding of livestock, dogs
or poultry. Only when a book sug
gests that the life processes of hu
man beings are similar to those of
other animals do well-meaning but
stupid olllclals interfere.

A SIGNIFICANT TRIBUTE to the value of
l,,e new Ford is foun(1 in it9 increas"
ing use by Federal, Btate and city gov-'
crnments and by large industrial com
panies which keep careful day-by-day cost
records. In most instances, the Ford has
been chosen only after exhaustive testa
of every factor that contributes to good
performance speed, power, safety, com
fort, low cost of operation and up-keep,
reliability and long life.
Prominent among the companies using
the Ford are the Associated Companies
of the Bell System, Armour and Com
pany, The Borden Company, Continental
Baking Corporation, Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, General Electric Com
pany, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany, Kellogg Company, Knickerbocker
Ice Company, Morton Salt Company,
I'illsbury Flour Mills Company, The
Procter and Gamble Company, and
Swift & Company.
Each of these companies uses a large
number of Ford cars and trucks. The
Associated Companies of the Bell System
use more than eight thousand.
Modern business moves at a fast pace
and it needs the Ford. Daily, in count
less ways and places, it helps to speed
the production and delivery of the
world's goods and extend the useful ser
vice of men and companies.
Constant, steady operation over many
thousands of miles emphasizes the ad
vantages of the sound design of the Ford
car, its high quality of materials, and
unusual accuracy in manufacturing.
Beneath its graceful lines and beautiful
colors there is a high degree of me
chanical excellence.
An example of the value built into the
Ford is the use of more than twenty ball
and roller bearings. They are hidden
within the car and you may never see
them. Yet they play an important part
in satisfactory, economical performance.
Their function is similar to the jewels of
a fine watch.
Throughout the Ford chassis, a ball
or roller bearing is used at every place
where it is needed to reduce friction
and wear and give smooth, reliable me
chanical operation.
At many points, as on the transmission
counter-shaft, clutch release, fan and
pump shaft, and front drive shaft, these
ball and roller bearings are used where
less costly types of bearings might be
considered adequate.
Additional instances of the high
quality built into the Ford are the ex
tensive use of steel forgings, fully
enclosed four-wheel brakes, Rustless
Steel, four Houdaille double-acting hy
draulic shock absorbers, aluminum pis
tons, chrome silicon alloy valves,
torque-lube drive, three-quarter floating
rear axle, and the Triplex shatter-prooC
glass windshield.
The Ford policy has always been to
use the best possible material for each
part and then, through large proiluo
tion, give it to the public at low cost.
