Said one of the boys: “See that bolt?” pointing to a cer tain bolt in the body of the car. “My Dad drives that same kind of bolt in all those car s.” With youthful pride and enthusiasm the lad felt he was honoring his father by direct ing the attention of his companion to his father’s great achievement. My Dad drove that bolt I How refreshing is the dauntless enthusiasm of youth. How much of the tragedy of life youth is spsred. How much of the happtnees of life sge has lost by forsaking youthful aspects of truth. Perhsps TfouseGofd Jiints y/ By BETTY WELLS’ 7 ' Mir* .for the ground Is in lace stitch.

The same movement, the same tedious task the whole day through! Yes, man has become a humdrum machine In this machine age. Into every machine-made prod uct goes human personality, some times ground to the fine powder of despair, sometimes broken into fragments of human disintegration. What a price in human life is paid! Creative and intelligent labor has been replaced by automatic ma chinery. Yet man is still necessary to run the machine that all too often drives him. What is this machine age doing to man? Is his spirit becoming as insensible as the machine? Is the machine, huge material power that it is, become a modern dinosaur evolved from economic greed snd social groping after things money can bay?
