workers have been trying to find the

Still unsolved are the questions of

The Radio Corporation of America
announce* that it will spend a million
dollars on commercialized experiment.
A transmitter will be set up in the
tower of the .Empire State building1

ENGINES . . . improvement
I hear interesting reports of newtypes
of engines which may revolutionize
the &uu> mobiles of a few years
henov. One big concern has been experimenting
with a "nor-spot engine,
usi'?g a mixture ci" gasoline and alcotiol
for fuel. A hot-spot ' engine is
one that d.-n.-hds uncn high compression
to ignite the charge; it has no
" spark plugs t>i ignition system and
uses electricity only for starting and
ligbtihg.
1 heard the other day t hat another
big car builder is developing an en-j
gint to operate.en acetylene gas. You!
in caloiilin carbide1, which in turn is
ma.dc by mixing coke and lime in the
electric furna< e 'the prcstolito" that
used to be used for car headlights
was compressed acetylene carried in
small tanks.
! don't know how soon cars equipped
with either of these new engines
will bo on the market, but the fact
that they are being talked of is another
proof that nothing stands still.
How silly for anybody to imagine
that it would be either possible or desirable
to standardize development, at
any given point.
COMFORT . . . being attained
Tiivnty 01M years ago I proposed
.1 plan for making: the guests in Use
first hotel built at Ei Centro, California,
comfortable. El Centro is in the
Imperial Valley. Go feet below sealevel,
and the therempmejter goes up
above 100 degrees and stays timvv
My scheme ?as to put in an artiftci u
ice plant ami circulate water through
pipes, like a steam-heating system, in j
every bedroom.
The other day I saw in a New York
paper that not only the Barbara l
Worth Hotel in El Centro but .many i
other hotels throughout the country}
are installing air-conditioning sys-;
terns in their guest rooms. So are i
hundreds of small-town movie thea-!
ters; the big city movie houses have |
long had such aids to comfort. Many |
office buildings have part or all of
the- office space similarly* protected
against excess heat and humidity.
T have touched on this subject in
this column before. Air-conditioning
is a big and growing industry, with
more than 100 concerns in it now. It
is nn. of the things that is going to
lift us out of the depression.
RESEARCH . . . new industries
A couple of weeks ago a conference
was held at Dearborn. Michigan,
in which eminent industrialists, scion-;
tists and farmers took part. It was I
called a "Chemurgic" conference, the j
word meaning, roughly, putting che-!
mis try to work. The purpose was to!
find new ways to adapt the products'
of the farm, or products that could ;
be grown on farms, to industrial use. j
In that line of research the Asso-!
ciatc of State Universities, including
the Land Grant colleges, has pointed
out that the major developments in
the application of scientific methods
ui agriculture have been the results i
of research conducted in those taxsupported
institutions.
All the folk who talk about stopping:
where we are and not trying to
go any further in any direction?of
standardizing everything at its present
status?are talking plain foolishness.
Out of the research laboratories
are coming, almost every day, discoveries
which are the seeds of new industries
for the future, and which will
eventy?I!y make life easier, richer and
happier for everybody. Who wants to
stop that?
CAPITAL . unhampered profits
A headline in a New York paper
the other day reads: $76,418,490 Is|
Sought in New Securities." I looked
over the list of important business
concerns which are asking permission
of the Federal Securities Commission
to sell bonds to raise capital. A large
part of this new capital is being
sought for the very purpose I have
just been talking about in this column;
that is, to finance new industries
based upon new scientific and
