The moment a new novel appears, an army of imitators seize upon its style, its texture and its motive. Mortal poets are themselves to the works of immortal poets.

When we get the ten commandments back in their place as the guiding star of respectable men and women, and the criminal code back where it belongs as the danger signal for the minority, we shall be well on the way to that mental repose which will allow us to recover our nervous health and stem the tide which is leading mankind to universal Ab y . t &rr's dred and Fifth Engineers, Thirtieth Division, and 3, commanded them In France (June He was the division engineer of the 1918).

During the World war for lack of plans there was spent for these same items three hundred million dollars. J. Mayhew Walnwright. By JOHN DICKINSON 8HERMAN HE World war demonstrated the of America and con-I- I firmed the traditional prowess of the American soldier. The World war also demonstrated Americas material unpreparedness and left this problem for the American people to solve: In case of another war how shall we arm and feed and clothe our fighting men at the front without wrecking our Industrial life, bringing needless suffering upon the millions at home, and wasting billions? Congress, in passing the National Defense Act f 1920, sought to provide the broad foundation f authority for the solving of this material preparedness problem. This act gave the president emergency power, authorized the creation of a Board of Mobilization of Industries Essential to Military Preparedness, outlined the Industrial mobilization task and turned the Job over to the assistant secretary of war. Col. J. Mayhew Walnwright, appointed March 28, 1921, labored at this titanic task until his election to the Sixty-eight-h congress from New York brought about his resignation. In a lecture before the Army War college January 20, 1923, Assistant Secretary Walnwright v, There isn't a magazine that hasnt received dozens of manuscripts stolen bodily, with a few characters,-- dates, and locations mildly altered, the title changed and a paragraph here and there modified. We have all been caught repeatedly. Plagiarism is on the increase. The plagiarist is not only a foe to the editor and the reading public but also to the new authors. An editor whose fingers have been burned by stolen manuscripts finds himself unavoidably prejudiced against writers whom he does not know. Ten years ago contributions from strangers were accepted on their merit and printed under the assumption that the writers were honest men. It is now regarded as a necessary precaution to write to a new author, whose manuscript has attracted attention, and ask for references. Even these precautions do not always succeed. One must wait for the publication of the plagiarism before a comparison with the original can be made. In the interval the fraud is accomplished. 'A comparison of the two stories supplies the evidence of guilt. It is the opinion of the writer that unwarranted leniency has been shown these offenders. The usual penalty is a severance of connections, followed occasionally by the return of the money dishonestly collected. A period of agreeable silence follows, after which the malefactor sits down with a ream of white paper, selects another alias, and continues in the ' business, of selling old tales for new. , occuof tue exalted letters the inconceivable in is that It profession pation of plundering can be made so profitable. Is there no way to restrain by court procedure the enterprising thugs who sell others thoughts? DEtPAtSinMltlOT life-blo- - terial, for securing the necessary raw material! which might become critical In time of war, and for Insuring an adequate supply of labor, of power, and of transportation facilities. This phase of procurement planning goes beInto yond the strictly military features and merges the broader field, which for want of a better term has been called Industrial Mobilization. By this term we mean the conversion of the Industrial effort of the nation from peace production to war production In an orderly manner, so that supplies can be furnished promptly, economic losses minimized, and the return to normal economic conditions at the conclusion of the war facilitated. In order that these plans may be complete, tt Is necessary that the war requirements of the navy, of shipping, of the railroads, and civilian needs, with the navy will be considered. be accomplished by the recently created army and navy munitions board. It will be necessary, In time of war, to create an agency similar to the war the civilian deIndustries board to mands with those of the army and navy. The following Indicates the steps which have been taken In working out a plan for the procurement of supplies for the War department in tkneof war. First, having determined what will be required. It became necessary to figure out how much would be required. Second, having worked out In detail the amount of supplies required, It then became necessary to determine where and how they could be procured. This has been done by the establishment of procurement districts by each branch of the War department, to each of which has been apportioned a proper share of the total requirements. The district headquarters -- number 47 and are located In 21 cities in 14 states. The officers In makcharge are engaged during the present year In mee to establishments of required a survey ing the supply program. There are seven suppl. branches In the army : Quartermaster corps, ordnance department, signal corps, corps of engineers, air service, medical department and Each branch has Its chemicai warfare service. own problem. That of the Quartermaster corps Is comparatively easy ; It deals with vast quantities of supplies, but they are mostly commercial In character. On the other hand, the problems facing the Ordnance department and the Air service are peculiarly difficult, since they deal with items which are either not produced commercially In time of peace or in such limited quantities as to have little effect upon war time procurement. Some of the problems which will confront the government and which must be solved by Industrial , experts are: to whom war .manufacturers Capital Finance profiteercontracts have been allocated.of Prevent war In time prices ing Stabilize for the settlement of Labor Provide machinery Industrial disputes In time of war.

The ten commandments are the basis of the Jewish, Buddhist and Mohammedan religions as well as the various sects of the Christian faith. We want genuine religion, not fakirisms and faddisms. We nee sincerity in religion, and we need belief in the goodness of things, of nature, of destiny, of our neighbors and ourselves, and unless we can get these things there is no hope for the stopping of the headlong downward rush.

Thank heaven, there is still one field left open to women where they have some outrageous advantages over mere man and that, field is motoring. Why take the men along? Why, even if their resistance can be overcome, and a lukewarm enthusiasm results? There are few difficulties to be met with in touring that cannot be just as well, if not more easily, dealt with by women traveling alone than if in company with a man. And the larks that result from such And, oh, the advantages! experiences ! For there are advantages from the time the car is left to be overhauled at the comer garage in preparation for the trip until the last spare tire is cut into ribbons on the homeward flight. I know. I have had experience with and without the dear things along.
