BLACK HILLS A BEAUTY 8P01
Only the arrival of Captain Charles
Lindbergh from Europe delays a pes.
sible earlier start of President Cool
idge for his summer camp, the South
Dakota Game Lodge, situated high in
the Diack Hills. In a special - cable
to America's flying ace, the President
asked Lindbergh to come direct to
Washingtoqi on the cruiser Memphis,
... arrive at the capital bT June 11.
President CoollJdee does not want
to start for the West until he has
officially welcomed home our "Ambas
sador of the Atr" who made history -
in his Atlantic hop, New York to
Paris. Also the" government wants to
confer all suitable honors and show
appreciation in a fitting manner.

arrival, the President and his office
staff, with a great group of special
press correspondents will Hb off for,

DrFrank Crane Says I
We Are Blsenft Cutters
The charge is brought agafttst
America that It represents a biscuit
cutter civilisation.
That is, that goods which are manu
factured, as well as the minds of the
people generally, are in a set form.
There is too much unanimity and
sameness about life and not enough
Individualism .
Well, the biscuit cutter idea has
something to be said in its favor. It
means standardization of products. It
means that parts shall be made by
machinery and shall be of an inter
changeable nature. Almost all the re.
duction In. price and the enormous,
product of our concerns have been due
to the elimination of waste and ex
pense by standardization.
In newspaper columns it Is said that
in Ave years the industrial output has
Increased 40 per cent One manu
facturer says: "One man working
steadily for 8 hours, used to tarn out
60 pieces Ian hour, or 480 a day. Ha
got f65 a week. Then we put in ma
chines. We have 80 men on the Job
and we put out 14,i)0e\pieces a day."
This story has been tnult!plied by
many. ? V
Cotton seed, on.ce a watte product.
ssjrv* - many wgys. in Wls.ii
they are making paper from
past Because of this standardization^
and out immensely increased producte
we bare become tbe wealthiest na
tion in the world. We are producing
nut cnly surplus cotton and wheat,
but turplus industrial products and
we haTe a surplus of money.
We are richer than ever was a na
tion before.
We own 20,000,000 motor cars, mil
lions of homes and we trarel and lire
luxuriously.
Barings deposits in banks are twice
i mnch as they were twenty years
ago. ? -
We are supplying the world with
capital. New York has effectively
challenged the financial leadership ot
London. Our people now hold bonds
to the extent of six trillion dollars
and the foreign indebtedness to the
United States is now in excess of six.
teen billion dollars.
Mr. Wei ton says: "The fact is that
America is not only the richest coun
try in the world, but richer than any
country ever was before and it is des
tined to become still richer."
The biscuit cutter civilisation, re
duced to its lowest terms, simply
means that our people have learned
to cooperate and save waste as well
as utilise the forces of natfirs.
