PAGE THREE
THE THREE D'S
There have been many serious
conferences in this year of tough
business, and recently I attended
one of them.
The problem was whether a cer
tain industry, which was encounter
ing difficulties, could be kept going.
Three men spoke; their remarks
were about as follows:
First Man: Conditions are much
worse than anybody is willing to
admit Car loadings are off; steel
production is flat; the automobile
industry is on its back; every bus
iness barometer points down. You
can argue that the country has
faced the same situation before and
has come through. But this Is dif
ferent. Now America is a world
power, dependent on world mar
kets. Wherever you look in the
world you see nothing tut trouble.
I think that any enterpiise which is
losing money ought to be stopped.
We are not justified in taking
chances.
Second Man: I wouldn't go as far
as the first speaker. Things are
undeniably bad and may get worse,
but I do not think we are justified
in assuming that the world is going
busted. What we need is plenty of
time to get all the facts and talk
them over and be sure we are right.
I suggest we appoint a committee,
and then we can meet again in a
couple of weeks and have another
conference.
Third Man: I disagree with ev
erything that has been said. This
depression isn't different from a
hundred others that have preceded
it. Always people lose hope just
when the turn is about to come.
Always it is argued that "conditions
this time are different" I do not
see that we shall gain anything by
appointing committees or delaying
action. What we need is not more
facts but more guts. I am in favor
of going to work right now to pull
this business through.
Men divide themselves into differ
ent classifications which are called
by various names. There are the
optimists who are consistently
hopeful and the pessimists who al
ways fear the worst.
There are what the psychologists
term "Introverts," those whose eyes
are turned inward, the brooders, the
hypocondriacs, the mystics; and the
"extraverts," whose vision is out
ward and forward. ,
In good days it Is not so easy to
distinguish, but these past few
months have been a testing time.
They have divided all men into
three great groups:
The Defeatists who say condi
tions are different; it can't be done.
The Debaters who say, let us ap
point a commission and adjourn un
til another time.
The Doers who say, let us pick
out the toughest problem and hit
it first.
Each of us falls Into one or the
other of these groups. In which one
are you?
MEAT
Meat packers are making a great
to-do over the advice of the U. S.
Public Health Service that people
should eat less meat in Summer.
The packers have sent a protest to
the Government, saying that Eski
mos live on meat the year around
and do not suffer from it
This is an interesting example of
the way in which commercial inter
ests try to influence Governmental
affairs. The public health is a sec
ondary consideration with the pack
ers; they are concerned with selling
more meat
Americans are the largest meat
eaters in the world. Also we have
the highest rate of deaths from
heart disease and hardening of the
arteries. I asked an eminent heart
specialist the other day whether
there was any connection between
these two facts. His reply was that
meat is a highly concentrated
source of muscular energy which
should be used sparingly by every
body who does not regularly do a
great deal of heavy physical work
or exercise.
"Eat what you like, but all in
moderation," was his advice, which
sounds like good common sense.
GAMBLING
A colored man In Boston won
$150,000 in a gambling pool on the
British Derby. Thousands of other
Americans won large sums and the
city newspapers have printed col
umns about their winnings, which
will make It easier for the sellers
of chances on these events to rope
In more suckers next year. Lotter
ies and other forms of gambling
are Illegal In most of the United
StnteB, but it Is questionable wheth-
er they do any more harm than un
limited speculation in stocks or
grain. The desire to get something
for nothing is inherent in human
nature. Mankind has always gam
bled and always will.
Nevada has recently legalized
gambling and is licensing gambling
establishments. A curious result of
this Is that a great gambling cen
ter will be set up close to the Gov
ernment's "model city" at the Boul
der Dam, on a twenty-acre strip
which the authorities overlooked in
acquiring land for the town site.
Prohibition laws, it is said, will be
strictly enforced, but it is easy to
foretell where a considerable part
of the wages paid to workers on the
big dam will go.
DIESEL
Walter Lees and Frederick Bros
sy recently flew their airplane over
Jacksonville Beach for 84 hours and
33 minutes without refueling. The
engine that made It possible for
them to stay so long in the air is
the latest application to aviation
of the invention of the late Rudolf
Diesel, an engine which uses crude
oil instead of gasoline, and ignites
its fuel by the heat of compressed
air and so needs no electrical ig
nition system.
Diesel engines today drive half of
the world's ships, at a third of the
operating cost of steam-engines.
Building them light enough to fly
with is a problem which engineers
are beginning to overcome.
The new Navy Zeppelins being
built at Akron will have Diesel en
gines. So will most of the airplanes
and airships of the near future. Fif
ty years from now some other kind
of engine may supplant the Diesels
In turn.
TELEVISION
So many miracles have been per
formed by science in the past few
years that we are ready to believe
that anything is possible. That ex
plains why the public has been so
easily "sold" on the idea that be-

fore long we shall be able to see
distant events while they are oc
curring, by radio television.
Scientific experimenters in this
field are not so confident The tech
nical problems to be overcome are
the most difficult they have ever en
countered. Leaders in radio devel
opment are hopeful but not certain.
H. P. Davis, "father of broadcast
ing," Lee De Forest, inventor of
the radio tube, Harold A. La Fount,
of the Federal Radio Commission,
Ray H. Manson, president of the
Institute of Radio Engineers, and
several others have' recently stated
that it will be years before broad
cast television will be commercially
practical, if at all.
Today a small picture in motion
can be sent by radio, or better by
wire, over apparatus which costs
about $100,000 at each end of the
line. That is, the best that has been
done so far. Thousands of clever
engineers are working on the prob
lem of improving and cheapening
television, but few are willing to
promise anything very definite.
PROGRESS
New York was the last city in
America to abandon the old-fashioned
horse-drawn street-cars, the
last of which ran up to a couple of
years ago. But it is the first large
city to abolish the steam locomo
tive. All passenger trains entering New
York city from any direction have
been drawn by electric locomotives
for several years. Steam engines
are still used for hauling freight
trains on the West side of Manhat
tan Island, and in parts of Brook
lyn, as well as on Staten Island,
where the Baltimore & Ohio has its
port terminals. But the last steam
locomotive is to be taken off Man
hattan Island this summer.
It is exactly 100 years Jince the
first steam-drawn passenger train
ran on a railroad in America. There
were railroads, with horses to draw
the cars, for a hundred years before
that. There will still be railroads
a hundred years from now, but the
method of running trains may be
something we of today do not dream
of, any more than our great-grandfathers
dreamed of electric motors.
Perhaps the air-propellers driven
by Diesel-type engines will putt the
fast freight from New York to
Frisco in a day on high elevated
tracks in 2031. Perhaps some
means of propulsion by rockets will
be used. All we can be sure of is
that the speed will be greater.

were entertained at the home of

licious refreshments.
Our opinion is that the thing peo
ple of Oregon are most Interested
in, is not which town gets the vet
erans hospital, but will Oregon get
it Family fights over matters of
this kind are not helpful and they
may finally disgust the government
to the extent that the hospital will
go to another state. Selfish Inter
ests should be put aside In matter
of this kind. However, if Western
Oregon can't settle this matter
there are many towns in Eastern
Oregon in a receptive mood.
Mr. and Mrs. L. Van Marter mo
tored to Ritter springs Saturday,

James Higgins, Lena stockman,
was doing business in the city Saturday.
Government experts find that the
average family wastes $60 worth of
food a year wastes it because this
food spoils before it can be used!
Just think of the dabs of sour milk
and cream, the spoiled fruits and
vegetables, the scraps of meat and
leftovers you now have to throw
into the garbage can every week!
$60 worth every year!
A General Electric refrigerator can
save you that $60 by keeping all
your food fresh, wholesome fit for
use. And with a G.E. you can buy
practically all your food on Satur
days when price are lower. Your
G.E. keeps them fresh and de
licious throughout the week. All
these savings in a year's time will
total $120 and more. It's real
economy to own a General Electric
refrigerator. Have one now.
