Reliability is a quality which is the foundation of all that is high and noble in human character. Other attributes may add to its splen¬ dor, other traits may occupy a more noticeable position, but the first question asked about any man who seeks a place of honor and trust, is Can he be depended upon?” If you would follow a good example, watch the engineer who is so interested in his job that he stays after hours to work out some new plan he has devised in connection with his department. He may get no immediate pay for overtime; recognition of his diligence may be slow in appearing. But sooner or later the pay envelope will respond, and he will have attained and will hold a position of trust and honor. GEORGE G. NIEHOUS, Chairman of Board of Directors. Fourteen

OUST! It has been extremely interesting to be a part of the social and eco¬ nomic problems which have confronted this country during the period of years known as the thirties. First we had the depression. The real start was in the summer of 1929 when corporation earning reports be¬ gan to look unfavorable. It was not until the stock market crash in October of that year that the public became aroused. The loss in values which occurred at that time was only an indication of what was to follow during the next few days. Politicians and economists studied the problem and offered many remedies which were expected to cure many of our ills. Yet values continued to tumble until the bottom was reached early in 1933. From that year on conditions began to improve. Two important stimulants were used, namely, the revaluation of gold and the inaug¬ uration of the N. R. A. Theorists will argue as to the lasting benefits which were derived. We do know that late in 1936 business in dollar value again became normal. However, many millions of our unskilled workers still are unable to find a market for their labors. At this time it is well for young engineers and scientists to begin to give consideration to their opportunities. Futile indeed are the panaceas of the politician when compared to the lasting economic re¬ sults which are achieved by the development engineer when he creates a new product. The answer to all of our economic and social ills is to be found in the workings of our tool builders and accomplishments of our scientists in their search for things that are new and useful. PROFESSOR ROUSH, Secretary-Treasurer.
