in the Delaware Public Schools. Men, Machinery and Alcoholic Drinks Civilization has taken unto machinery, said Charles Reitell, of the University of Pittsburgh, in the Annals of the American Academ of Political and Social Science (Sept. 1723). Here are some of the changes he indicated. The hand tool to the colossal hydraulic hammer.

The wooden water wheel to the 100.000 horsepower turbine. The 0X-cart to the Twentieth Century Limited. The invention and use of machinery have given rise to a different kind of human effort in doing work as for example: The "cabby" to the chauffeur; the stage driver to the highly trained locomotive engineer; the strong, TObust, muscular man with a pick and shovel to the mechanical ditch digger under the direction of a skilled engineer. And this mechanical ditch digger digs more trench in one than 25 strong laborers could have dug in a week. This change to machinery requires new kinds of, workers and of requirements for workers who are to fit into the new order.

It makes necessary the definite prohibition of certain things that do not fit. "Of these prohibitions the outof standing complexity, one is this: that the growth high speed, and volved dangers of modern machinery absolutely bars out the use alcoholic drink." Human life, costly, machinery, and continuous operationall are at stake when muddled 1 alcoholic brains operate machines and befuddled brain cannot together. Mu.h of the present day prohibition is but an aftermath of the economic pressure that the industrial world has put forth to protect workers, machines, and production from the ravages of men under the influence of alcohol." Mr. Reitell gives illustrations of the extent to which machine power has developed: Mining machines came into use in America about 1890. In 1923, there are more than 22,000 in use.

In 1922, in Pennsylvania more than 65 per cent. of the coal produced was machine- mining machine demands constant, vigilance on the part of the worker. Power comes from electric instead of from human muscles. prices the turning on until the turning off of the power. the worker must be on his guard."
