What does 19,23 hold in store for yon ^Better things

wilrbTmore prosperity to be divided among the Amer-

AfcVfor other things that go to make up happiness ,a

afresh,
The start of the new year is always fascinating be-
cause it opens the door of the unknwon. The curtain

WHY COUZENS QUIT
jr^Wl left EoreKwhen I was iforty-three, because I got
tired of making so. mfuch money. It became a burden.
It was almost obnoxious, distasteful. I had no par-
ticular use for so many millions.'^
"So I stepped from! under this avalanche of money
and I'm heartily glad I did for I ihave found ftiore gen-
uine satisfaction in striving to sepre my fellow-citizens
than can be derjyed fr^om ordinai*y business activities."
This extraordinary, i self-reveaairig statement was
made by James Couz ens, the ejx-Canatftfan "newsie"
who became Henry Ford's originaj partner in investing
$2,500, nad who sold put to Forid for $&0,000,000 in
1915, to become, in tuirn, Police Commissioner of De-
troit, Mayor of Detroit, and United States Senator from
Michigan.
For many years a business man himself,. latterly a
leader in Big Business, handling matters of great mag-
nitude and coming into contact with many meii of large
business affairs, Mr. Couzens's\ estimate of the judg-
ment, the level-headejdness, the) commonsense \of bus-
iness men as compared with tlie judgment, the com-
monsense, the level-headedness 'of working men wlil
doubtless arouse astonishment. I
"I would rather take the judgment of 40,000 ajyer^
age workmen than the judgment of the 40,000 big-
gest business men in the United States," Mr. Couzens
declared with great emphasis. "JTheir judgment on.any
public question is saner and better than the judgment
of the most prominent business men in the country.
Workingmen are the least self^h of all the groups
there are. Most of the labor troubles come from-la-
bors leaders, not from labor iilsl -If."B. C. Forbes, in

can do, however small it may be. Tlie first duty) S'
of every community that hopes to benefit by toair
ist trade is to see that its resorts are attractive, so
that those who come.to them will feel like coming
again and urging others to come. Its next duty is
to do all it can for good roads, not only for its lo-
cal roads but for the larger highways of which they |,_
may be a part.
"For instance, Duluth is doing a good deal for
the Theodore,Roosevelt International Highway,,
for two. reasons: First because this highway will
K.bring tourists,to Northern Minnesota second, be-
cause the highway association is doing a lot o* val-
^uabrevadvertising for Northern Minnesota. When',
Duluth^ does this, it is only making a sound invest
ment with certain returns. Every other community
along the T. R. highway can and should do the
same. We assume that Bemidji is doing its share
in this and other work to make touring in Northern
^Minnesota attractive and to let the world know
that it is attractive.
"Diulluth should and will do its full share in
these works, but it needs the help of every neigh
boring community. And there is no such commu-?-i
nity that cannot find something to do for the,,eom-
mon good. There is enough to do to give eyer^- Mf^.^
community a share of the doi^g and when th5..^M:
work is ddhe all will share ^ref^ruits
"Puliith'appreciates such praise, and encourage
ment as hat which now comes from Bemidji. It
^assumes, f course, that co-operation to the fullest^
'extent goes with the praise." ":*g

Senator GJlass, Democrat of Virginia, made a speech
criticizing the attitude of Senator Heflin, another dem^,,
ocrat, for his attitude toward the Federal Reserve
Board. The speech was sent freetnrough the mails to
about 142,000 addresses.., Thereupon Mr. Heflin an-
nounced that he would send a copy of his own speech
in reply to Glass to every person who received,the lat-
tei^s remarks. Two hundred and eighty-four thousand
.separate envelopes carried and delivered free by the

armaments conference. J?'-*/-'
Naturally the details of the- inven-
tion, the salient feature of which is
the Galliot-Bory brake, so-called
from the names^ of the disebverers
are kept a profound secret at the
central navy laboratory and at the
navy and war onices, where the re
sults of the trials have been record
ed and await official approval. But
enough has been learned to make
possible a general description of the
principle.
The caliber of naval guns is lim
ited by the Washington treatieg to
400 millimeters^ (16,inches). France,
has not the money necessary for the'ment
construction of ships capable of car
rying guns of that caliber. To. use
smaller vessels, such as those built
for. 13 1-2 inch guns is not to be
thought of with the guns of today,
because the recoil shock would simp
ly shake the plates of. the vessel
loose. In this connection, it is esti
mated that, when a 13.1-2 inch gun
is fired the recoil shock can be ex
pressed a& a farce of four million
horse power, acting for one-hun'-
dreth part of a'second.
Heretofore the effect of the recoil
has beeh-attenuated by a device per
'mitting^ the^guii-.to*run back on its
carriage-after the discharge- But
here arises a grave' problem.--- Take,
for instance, a French seventy-five.

projectile hundreds of times- heavier
than the land shell and with an in

Engineers Galliot and. Bory have

a device which opposes to the recoil
shock an equal force acting in .a
cohtrary direction. Hheoreticajly
the gun could be, suspended from a
cable high in the air and fired with

Another feature of the Galliot
