Joliu P. i Ferris, recently told a Joint meeting ! "f tlie Engineers' Society of Mil wait. ' kee and the faculty of the College of i KiiKlneerlng of the I'nlverslty O f ! Wisconsin what is wrong with this j machine world of ours, now that It has fallen upon lean days. He sug- gests, moreover, that the research engineer can help us by attacking problems which manifestly cry out for solution. Economists may not agree with Jfr. Ferris's contentions, but there is no denying that he stim- ulates the imagination with some of' his proposals. "We need a better aud cheaper, house for the average man." Ferris ' maintains; "one that can be made I in a factory to take advantage of factory economies." It must be sold for at least one-third what It now costs for a structure of equal size and satisfy the most exacting taste. Farmers must be brought closer to one another and urban workers must be spread apart by "new patterns of community arrangement." We need City engineering both for structures and traffic control. We need new fuels and sources of power. "Perhaps we must fiad them In some unstable atom*; per- haps in the tides or in the centre of the earth or In cosmic rays." Plying is not safe enough. Air- planes should be invented which are inherently so stable and HO easily managed that the pilot need not pos- sess extraordinary skill. It takes too much effort now to prepare food. Mr. Ferris, there- fore, thinks there ar e possibilities In synthetic foods. "We need food so cheap and easy to obtain that It will take Its place besides air and water as necessaries of life that are almost free, available to all, and thus re- moved from the list of things for which men must strive. The ef- fects of such a change in our at- titude toward food and shelter would revolutionize life and would elimin- ate much of the drive behind econ- omic strife, warfare and cruelties of all kinds. It would leave us freer to strive after real pleasure and real accomplishments." Any number of new materials are needed, according to Mr. Ferris, j "sucli as ductile and workable glass, synthetic leather (to make unneces- sary the slaughter of animals which I will soon be no longer needed for! foodt. synthetic rubber, cheaper ma- 1 terials for clothing, etc." Our wood should be used to better advantage, deforestation ij still crude and hap. hazard. We need ''a technique of harvesting lumber as a crop that our forest* may be restored. Management needs reform. A tech- nique ought to be discovered "which will preserve the merits of the pres- j ent absolute authority of manage, mfiil as far as technical efficiency goes and yet modify absolutism In I order to allow a far greater amount | of self-expression for the individual > worker." A I A Psychological Change By Jules Sauerwein Foreign Editor Paris-Soir, in an In- terview in New York. A new and distressing happening in the last three years is that the people no longer seem to have the psychological resistance they had dur- ing the war. They had it on the bat- tl( fields and in the crisis after the war. But now it seems their mental resources are almost exhausted. At least in Europe it is so. The .result is, on on* side, fear, and on the other, despair. The people on th* Continent are .>tT balance - no more equilibrium. 1 think it is equally foolish to think of (ierniany starting a war and of| Fiance fearing an immediate war. ij am almost tempted to say the misfo"- tunes threatening Europe are worse than war. By this I mean that with the so-called elite, the leading |>fOple, having failed to determine real ways' out, this crisis mijrht be taken in the 1 hands of the mob. If the financial! leaders fail, then the moat brutal elc-! mi-tit, the mob -and I don't say it con- temptuously- will take the case.

In an analytical survey 'of th motor vehicles situat'on hi Ontario, the minister deal; with the respec. five rig'hts of passenger and com- mercial vehicles. indicating fulun regulation of trucking rate* and tht selection and operations of theft drivers. Reflistrat on Drops Commercial vehicles were about It per ceut. of the total registration*, Mr. Macaulay pointed out. ThU year's figures, up to May 2S. reveal- ed total registrations of private pas- sengers cars as 409.876, compare* with 1 1 i.::v.i for the similar period < 1931. a decrease of about eight pet cent., which was much slighter than that obtaining la the Unite* States. Commercial vehicle regis- tratioos showed a decrease of only 3.5 per cent., wth 53,286 this year to date, against 55,236 last year. However. Mr. Macaulay was confid- ent that this year's total of com- mercial vehicles would be greater than in 1931, since trucks were oalf being registered as there were Job* for them. Continuing bi.s analysis, the mil- ister stated that whil e truck regij- trations were down only 3.5 par cent., car loadings were decrease! 20 per cent., which he considered fair indication of the relative de- crease in railway and truck freight business. "It Is a debatable point bow far trucks should contribute to the up- . keep of the highways," he continu- ed. "The highways were first built at th e demand of passenger car owa- . era. In addition to the fact that trucks constitute only 12 per cent, of the total, there is the question of weight." and he referred to an ex- perience of his own, of standing u- * derneatb a steel bridge while a 15 ton truck passed over It at about M miles an hour. "\V e must realize ttiat the roadi are here primarily for th e motorist Don't forget that.

Speaking in t^e Chamber o'n the budget of his.

The storekeeper 'iiroiisii whom h* did this eventually got the account, which, after deducting rail charges, commission, and other expenses, showed a deficiency of one shilling and sevenpence. It took the native a loui; timo to grasp this curious transaction and ita arithmetic. Finally h said he had no money. After some discussion, the store- keeper agreed to take a chicken for the money. In due course the native brought two chickens. The storekeeper pointed out that i- only asked for cue. "Ah. yes, 1 know." returned th native, "hut I have another bale of wool I am bringing round."
