MIRACLES OF TOMORROW
For thousands of years men walk
ed the earth without imagining the
wealth of fuel that lay Just beneath
the surface; for thousands of years
they watched the lightning before a
Franklin thought of catching and
taming its wild magic. In the full
ness of time, however came coal
mines, steam engines, electric dyna
mos, gasoline motors, the automobile
the airplane. All these and the mani
fold changes which they have
brought to pass in civilization, we
now take for granted. But we are
still like our forbears of the dim long
ago In that we do not suspect the dis
coveries yet to be made, the powers
yet to be harnessed. So it is with
most of us, but here and there a bold
thinker dips into the future.
At the World Power Conference
now being held in Berlin, C. F,
Hirschfield. a research engineer of
Detroit, Mich., predicted recently
that while man has nearly reached
the bounds of development in steam
power, "he soon will light upon
new method of transforming energy
to his uses." Already, he said, scien
tists can calculate the limit of power
production under theories yet to be
applied; indeed, they could attain
that limit "if metals strong enough
to stand the increasing pressures and
temperatures were available." But
"If we may Judge from human his
tory this means that somewhere
around the corner of time there lies
a radically different process for pow
er development. It means that before
we have reached the utmost of pos
sibilities with present methods the
new method will appear as an unde
veloped infant to be fought over and
nourished and carried through the
period of adolescence until finally we
shall say, 'How Simple! Why did no
one think of it before?' There is no
saying where this new development
will com nor from whose hands. But,
if we follow the path that man has
trod thus far, it ought to come out
of the fundamental research now in
progress or undertaken in the near
future. With our inherited ideas re
garding matter and energy, corpuscle
and wave, continuity and discontinu
ity all thrown overboard or, at least,
so modified, as to make them unrecog
nizable, we appear to have before us
a boiling pot out of which something
of epochal significance may arise."
While men drove oxcarts and pit
ted their little sail boats against the
sea, even tnen tne power ior steam
engines and motor cars and airplanes
was all around them. So today we
probably walk amid latent marvels
and move about in world not real
ized.
BUSINESS AND THE
AMERICAN SPIRIT
The economic life of the United
States, no less than other aspects of
our national existence, is the direct
reflection of the Epirit of the Amer
ican people. Through a century and
a half the indomitable urge to build
and to create has carried this Nation
onward from a humble beginning to
its pinnacle of wealth and power and
dignity. Back of our towering struc
tures of commerce, back of our in
tricately functioning industrial or
ganizations there is the same quality
of individual character that brought
the pioneer into the West to make
his way alone.
No nation, however brilliant its in
telligentsia, however competent its
technicians, however astude its poll
tical leaders, can carry on Its na
tional life on a plan of greatness
without a foundation of energy and
character permeating the great mass
of individuals. It Is through this
widely distributed wealth of initia
tive and creative energy that Amer
ica has won its enviable place in the
world of nations.
Not the least of the qualities of
the individual that have entered into
our national achievement is that of
confidence. Confidence in himself, in
his fellow man and in the future of
his country has marked the American
from the first day of this Nation's
life. That confidence, no kin to
boastfulness or to idle optimism, has
been the core of the American moral
fiber, through periods of expansion
and exurberant prosperity, through
painful dissension and national catas
trophe, through trying period? of re
building after the havoc of civil war
or commercial paralysis.
The American people of today are
changed in their manner of life. A
wholly new physical environment
has led them to form new patterns of
living that would look strange indeed
to the Americans of an earlier day.
But there can be no questioning the
fact that the essential qualities of the
American remain as firm and positive
as in earlier decades. Superabundant
energy, the will to build and confi
dence in the future are implicit In
the term American, as they have been
trough the sweep of our epic growth

TREES IN DESERTS
For a number of years the federal
government has been experimenting
with trees in the hope of finding a
species that will grow in the great
plains area of the southwest. This
might seem to be going against na
ture, but it has already been shown
that with man's intelligent aid, na
ture can do many beneficient things
which she can not do alone.
Large areas in the sandy barrens
of northwestern Nebraska, for ex
ampel are now being covered with the
green of Epecies of pine tree which
the ingenuity of man has discovered
to be adaptable to that apparently
forbidding soil.
There are of course many things
in which man can survive only by
adapting himself to the hard facts
of nature, but man's higher civiliza
tion has been due in no small degree
to his discovery that nature herself
is palstic in many things and can be
adapted to human needs.
We shall yet see great forests on
the wide expanses of American Boil
now treeless. Just as we shall see rich
crops of vegetables, grain and fruit
on eoil now unproductive for want
of plant foods which man can sup
ply, thanks to his discoveries in the
chemistry of soils and fertilizing ma
terials.
