Turning to the nucstlon of shipping, Mr. Hoover said thnt, while with the rallromls government Inefficiency coulil be patatil on to the consumer, "on the eas we will sooner or Inter find It translated to the national treasury." Mr. Hoover asserted that tne country had until recently "greatly neglected the human factor that Is so large an ele ment In our productivity" and that this neglect had accumulated much, of the discoutent and unrest throughout thu Industrial population nnd had reacted in a decrease of production. In n brief reference to the interna tional situation he declared that the safety of Kuropean civilization was "hanging by a slender thread" and that America was faced with a new orienta tion to world problems. Opposed to Coolie Labor Sir. Hoover In the nfternonn opened the discussion upon the defective opera tion of our bituminous coal facilities. He spoke only briefly. His California spirit was aroused, however, when Hid ncy J. Jennings, professor of the United I States .Smelting, Itennlng and Mining I Co., ndvocated the importation of Clilnpsp labor to stabilize the rnnl In. Not that Hoover Injected any pal- dustry.

I am not in politics," asserted Mr. Hoover, raising his voice in emphasis, "and I positively refuse to say any- ' thing about political matters," , But there was a twinkle In his eye pHe the austerity of his voice. In' his evening address, delivered ns president of the Institute, however, Mr. Hoover defined his attitude toward Ifuany of the paramount problems of the moment, such as the destiny of the roll roads, the future of the American mer chant marine, the fuel problem, the CcesItj- for a federal budget, the growth of radicalism and the relations between capital and labor. , The return of the railroads to private ownership on March 1 will mean that it places private operation on its "final trial," Mr. Hoover said. At the same tjsve he attacked government operation t either railroads or shipping as "ex periment? in socialism necessitated by the war," to which there were many f&ndamentn! objections. "No scheme of political appoint ment," Mr. Hoover said, "has ever yet been devised that will replace com- , petition In its selection of ability and character." Owners Must Meet Situation vAfter referring to the handicaps im posed upon business through the fail- , UW of transportation facilities to grow with the country, Mr. Hoover con- I tiaued: "The return of the railways to the owners places predominantly private operation upon its final trial.

Mr. Hoover's Speech The text of Mr. Hoover's speech fol lows In part: "I have been greatly honored ns jour urnnlmous choice for president of this institute, with which I havrf been associated durtng my entire pro fessional life. It U customary fur your new president, on Uiesr, occasions, to make some observation on matters of general Interest from the engineer's standpoint. ' "We have In this country probably 100,000 professional engineers. The events of the last few years have great ly stirred their Interest In national problems. This tins taken practical form In the maintenance of joint committees for discussion of these problems nnd support to a free advisory bureau in Washington. The engineers wnut nothing for themselves from Congress. They want efficiency In government, nnd you contribute to the mnlntcnnuce of this bureau out of sheer Idealism. This organization for consideration of nntlonal problems has had many sub jects before It, and I propose to touch on some of them this evening. Post War, Problem "We face a Europe still nt war; still amid social revolutions some of Its peo- files still slacking on production; mil Ions starving, and therefore, the safety of its civilization Is stll hanging by a slender thread. Every wind that blows carries to our shores an Infection of so cial disease from this grcnt ferment! every convulsion there has an economic reaction upon our own people. "Out of the strain of war, weaknesses have lecome even morn evident in our administrative organization, in our legislative machinery. Our federal gov ernment is still overccntrallzed, for we have upon the hands of our government enormous Industrial activities which have yet to be demobilized. We are swamped with debt and burdened with taxation. Credit is woefully Inflated; speculation and waste are rampant. Our own productivity is decreasing. Our in dustrial population is crying for reme ot UN- people nnd the dnngers of political domi nation that can grow from, governmental operation, Ileyond this, the engineers will hold that the successful conduct of great Industries is to a tranncendant degree dependent upon the personal abilities nnd character of their employes and staff. On the other hand, our people have long since recognized that wc can not turn monoply over to unrestrained operation for profit nor that the human rights of employes can ever be domi nated by dividends. "Our .business is handicapped on every side by the failure of our trans portation facilities to grow with the country. It Is useless to talk about In creased production to meet an Increased standard of living In an Increasing popu lation without a greatly Increased transport equipment. Moreover, there are very great social problems under lying our transport system; today their contraction is forcing a congestion of our population round the great cities with nil that these overswollen settle ments Import. Even such great disturbances-as the coal i strike have a minor root In our Inadequate transpor tation facilities and their responsibility for Intermittent operation of the mines. Railway Problem Solution "The return of the railways to the owners places predominant private operation upon its final trial. If in stant energy, courage and targe vision In the .owners should prove lacking In meeting the immediate situation we will be faced with a reaction that will drive the country to some other form of con trol. Employer and Employe "Another great national problem, to which every engineer In the United States is giving earnest thought, and ..ni.i. !,,,.. nnn.iiii..u iif- --.I i with which he comes in uallv contact. aDor i Is that of the relationship of employer . , .. i nnd employe In Industry.

The development of vast repetition In the process of In dustry has deadened the sense ot crane manshlp and the great extension of In dustry haa divorced the employer nnd his employe from that contact thnt car ried responsibility for the human prob lem. Thli neglect of the human factor linn accumulated much of the discon tent ml unrest throughout our great Industrial population and has reacted j In a decrease of production, Tet our very standards of living arc dependent on a maximum productivity up to the total necessities of our population. "Another economic result Is, or will be yet. n repercussion upon the funda mental Industry of the United States, that Is, agriculture. For the farmer will be unable to maintain his produc tion In the face of n constant increase In the cost of his supplies nnd labor through shrinkage In productivity In other Industries. The penalty of this disparity of effort comes mainly out of the farmer's own earnings. "t am dally Impressed with the fact thnt there is but one way out, nnd that A is to again re-establish through organised representation that personal co-operation between employcr.and cm ploye In production that was n binding force when our Industries were n11r of unit and of less specialisation.

Make this test for your teeth's sake, then see for yourself what it does. s tain bur Teeth 1 And See the Film Which Wrecks Them All Statements Approved by High Dental Authorities Stain your teeth, as your dentist does, with an iodine solution. You will see dark patches, probably. And those are film. There is more film which you don't see. Film is that viscous coat which you feel with your tongue. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The tooth brush does not end it. The ordinary tooth paste does not dissolve it. So much of it remains and may do a ceaseless damage. There lies the cause of most tooth troubles. That is why so many brushed teeth discolor and decay. Tooth troubles are constantly increasing, and the reason lies in film. Their Greatest Enemy Film' is what discolors not the teeth. It is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it Th,ey, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor rhea. Thus night and day, while you feel that teeth are kept clean, that film may be doing ceaseless, fearful (lamage. These facts have long been known. Dental science has for years sought a way to fight film. But periodic cleaning in the dentist's chair seemed the' only real remover. Now science has discovered an efficient film combatant r one -for daily use. Able authorities have proved it by convincing tests. Leading dentists all over America are now urging its adoption. t Now the method is embodied in a den tifrice called Pepsodent a modern, scien tific tooth paste. Its use has spread until millions of teeth show its benefits. And a 10-Day Tube, for home test, is being sent to anyone who asks. We Apply a Digestant Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the di gestant of albumin. The film is albumi nous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to day by day com bat it. Pepsin long seemed impossible. It must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. But science has found, after years of research, a harmless activating method. And now this efficient film combatant can be every day applied. Quick, Visible Results The results of Pepsodent are quick and apparent. You can see them in the mir ror, you can feel them with your tongue. Millions have already made this test. Now you owe it to yourself and yours. Compare the new way with the old ways-.
