As a matter vof fact, the history of American industry prov that not ony are general living standards raised by labor-saving machinery, but employment is actually increased V by them. ' . - Twenty Tttree percent of all employed Americans were . engaged in tlie manufacturing industries in 1929. In 1936, after six years of the invention and perfection of new labor- - saving equipment, 24 per cent of all employed Americans were engaged in manufacturing industries. Industrial payrolls become a larger part of the American income with each new invention bursting the bubble of 'technological unemployment' a favorite phrase of folks - who talk faster than they think. Statistics in the automobile industry and in the steel industry to cite two examples, reveal that there are more jobs now than there were in the days of clumsy hand machinery. ma-chinery. When the continuous mill was invented for sheet steel 10 years ago there were doleful predictions that this startling star-tling process would throw steel workers out of jobs. In the past 10 years employment in steel companies which operate continuous mills has increased 28 per cent. Not only that, but sheet steel has made possible electric refirgerators, mod ern gas ranges and a score of make the lives of American steel-workers and others more Tpleasant. Machines don't steal men's jobs ; they make more jobs for men.

The queer thing is that "there is 'still' a lot of argument argu-ment over who won it. Two years go on Feb, 5, 1937, to be exact President Roosevelt called on Congress to enlarge and reorganize the Supreme Su-preme Court. Congress argued,' studied, and finally refused flatly to do any such thing. Today the famous court plan is dead. -Not even the most ardent New Dealer talks of reviving it. But who won the war? Both Sides Claim Victory Those who fought the plan say they did. The court is still the same size as it was before". It has been shown that a president Who trfes to alter or enlarge the court to get tlie kind of rulings he wants will get his fingers burned. The independence of the -judiciary has been sustained. But the other side remarks that somehow 'the court has been pretty kind to New Deal legislation legisla-tion since the fight began. Senator' Sen-ator' Sherman Minton of Indiana suggests that F. D. R. lost the battle and - won .the war, and asserts as-serts that the whole attitude of the court is different now. Congressman Con-gressman Wright Patman says briefly. "He unfossilized 'em."

Anything caq happen on a ship. There the stage is set for tragedy, comedy, adventure, romance. Life oh a ship is intensified as Jn a picture, pic-ture, a novel. One who has taken an ocean voyage can never be the same as he was before. His perspective per-spective .has een vtdeiled his un-deistandihg' un-deistandihg' of life aod human na ture deepened. A voyfge is one of the significant experiences of a lifetime. - - I . The mere physical aspects of a shiD are interesting. The Majestic one of the Curiard White1" Star liners, for instance, while only a little sister to such vessels as the Normandy and the Queen Mary, Carries 3.500 passengers. It re quires 217 engineers, working four hour shifts, t keep her properly repaired and. ninning. , Sixteen men are necessary to work the dials that start and stop her. A newspaper. Ocean Times, is published on board. On Sunday, March 3. 1935 the issue contained all the leading headlines of the day: "Sino-Japanese Accord Chi nese Disagree Great Britain takes initiative in suggesting big powers join in extending financial aid to China." "Outcome of Nazi Uprising Last July." "Roosevelt's 2nd Year of Office . . . President close to crossroad- Public debt and unemployment menaces." The above are but a few of the headlines. One thing the newspaper didn't contain was an account of the fatal injury to a steward the day before when a heavy wave had dashed him along the deck causing caus-ing h5s head to strike a door so forcibly that ' he suffered concussion concus-sion of the brain. Other1 interesting facts about the Majestic 'include the amount of food required for a voyage, and the way it is preserved and served. About 8,000 pounds of mutton is consumed on a voyage, and similar amounts of beef, with large proportions pro-portions of fish and fowl in the huge refrigerated storerooms. One hundred cases 'of oranges are required, re-quired, one pound of tea a day for every forty persons one half pound sugar a person each day. Sing on Sundays On Sundays the bell-hops, or stewards, transform themselves into choir boys and sing at the regular services of the Church of England which .. are as dignified and impressive as if conducted in a magnificent church on land. Over the improvised altar behind which the 'minister stands the stars and stripes of the United States and the flag of England are draped. Catholic mass is also held regularly, The program of activities offers' the passengers polo, swimming, dancing, movies, cards, and many deck games. The ship band plays regular1 concerts -two or three times a week. There is a library of late books reading rooms with magazines; maga-zines; writing room. There is a doctor, a nurse, an emergency hospital. hos-pital. There are shops where one can buy almost anything required. Life on a ship gives even second and third cjass passengers a sense of -luxury. Servants stand ready to come and go for you. You have only to press a button and give an order if you want your meals brought to your stateroom, a message sent, a prescription filled, a book brought from the library, a package of gum purchased. pur-chased. As mentioned before, the formalities for-malities of life are largely broken down in the society on a ship. It is easy to form acquaintances and friendships.. ; If "you ape' 111 and a good-hearted deck companion whispers, "Tax travelling with a minister and his wife and I shouldn't should-n't like them to know it, but I've a bottle of spirits, and I believe a swallow in a aif a glass of water would settle your stomach," well, that's enough to start a. lasting friendship.
