Davis for War; the present Wilbur's brother for the Navy; Donovan for Attorney-General; New or Good for Postmaster-General; Work again for Interior; J. J. Davis for Labor; one of three Juliuses-Klein, Barnes, Rosenwald -for Commerce; some midwesterner for Agriculture, perhaps Publisher Dante Melville Pierce of Des Moines-so ran theory and conjecture. A "truthful declaration" was not expected for some time, perhaps not until the President-elect's return from South America (see page...
Such was the alarming prophecy, last week, of able Dr. Julius Klein of the U. S. Dept. of Commerce. He was recalling the ancient and modern history of the commodity of rubber. Columbus, exploring the island of Hispaniola, was the first to see natives playing with balls which seemed to bound miraculously to Heaven. Three centuries later, Chemist Joseph Priestley advised his fellow Englishmen that the miraculous substance would erase pencil-markings, might well be called "rubber."

S. today has at his disposal the power equivalent of 150 slaves. Human happiness lies in using the machine without worshiping it. Brilliantly, Bertrand Russell predicates the only remedy for science...
