...Chevrolet or Ford. Now there is no such car, unless one take to a truck! True, the new cars are sturdy and durable-upon the paved highway. But get them out into the unpaved, unimproved roads which we seek both for pleasure and for scientific purposes, and which still exist in abundance (and we hope will still be there for a long time to come) in our western States, and we would be stuck, literally...
Since the idealistic voters pledge themselves to abstain from an offensive war they must assume that such a phenomenon actually exists. This is their fundamental fallacy. Not since history began has any nation fought a war that was not considered a defense of its vital interests. In the latest great conflict, for example, the Central Powers were protecting their "besieged fortress" from the encircling policy of the Entente, while the latter group was engaged in crushing the great German military monsters.

Western Electric's new loud-speaker-used for the first time at last summer's America's Cup yacht races (TIME, Oct. 8 et ante}-multiplies the power of the human voice a millionfold, delivers thunderclap announcements with the force of 50-lb. hammer blows, makes itself heard for miles & miles in still air. Even so all but a few of the most intelligible speech frequencies must...
