LEONARD A. BARRETT
On a curb stone sat two boys ad
miring a parked automobile. 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

The room for a blonde has pale

Little did the lad know of the cost
of that driven bolt. Little did be
know of the humdrum of the fac
tory; of the deafening noise of grind
ing wheels; of the deadly monotony
of standing for sight hours out of
every twenty-four, five days of ev
ery week, driving a bolt, driving s
bolt! 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been replaced by automatic ma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?
True, the machine manipulation
gives a means of livelihood, but it
destroys creative thinking and con
sumes initiative end physical en
durance. The steady fall of a drop

must become a stimulus and not

both the physical and the spiritual

In hours of leisure a man can And
