PARENTAL STRATAGEMS My sons were terribly shy. So I evolved a technique which I recom- mend to other parents. The first thing was to tell them that it was a good thing to be' shy, The second thing was never to notice their shy- ness. Having thus acquired a basis of confidence and trust, I then plan- ned a training of "courage tests," I began with) such simple things as tell- ing them to ask an old gentleman thf time, or to buy tickets for the family at the railroad station. 1 went on: to more difficult tricks. One was to came in late for luncheon when there were people staying in the house and to say, "Sorry I'm late." The whole point about the system was that it was voluntary. It the boy said he couldn't' ask the old gen- tleman aver there the time, all one (lid was to say, "All right. Don't bother." The most •difficult test was to call at my club and ask if I were there. By the time they had passed that, their shyness was practically con- quered. * * * • When my sister and, I quarreled, Mother would place us in two chairs facing each other, bid us to look straight into one another's eyes, and. on no account to smile. Very soon, smiles and then laughter came, and the bad feelings were gone. * * * Fastened to the tricycle of a small boy in Scottsbluff, Neb., is an alarm cloak encased, in tin.

A friend of mine has solved, the "pick up your own toys" problem She picks them up herself, never once asking the children to do so. Then she locks. them up ire an old trunk. When Billy wants, his ball bat, he pays a forfeit from his allowance, or in extra chores. The whole family makes a game of the "hock shop" and takes it good-naturedly, especia- l -3r since Dad had to redeem his screwdriver and Mother her curling iron! * * * I once knew a woman, the wife of a poor man, who hung up in her kit- chen a small leather bag with nickels and, dimes in it, to (be used by her school-age sons and daughters, who were always needing extra money for carfare, books, pencils, shoe- strings and other unpredictable it- ems. If a chide felt he had to have something, he was free to dip into the bag for what was needed; but when he ,did so he knew there would be less tor others whose needs, might be greater than hiseown. The purse was unguarded, and nobody tattled. A ohild Might say why he needed money, or he might nota—that was bis affair. But each Saturday night bhe bag was taken down at a family gath- ering,. and if there was something left over, that was a cruse for deep personal satisfaction for everybody.

FORGOTTEN INWNTOR (Coadensed from Tie; Toronto Dr. Rudolph Diesel was crossing the English ,Channel on the night of September 29, 1913. He was going 'to London to attend a meeting of manufacturers, and to confer with the British Admirakty. It was ten by the ship's bell When he said good -night to hisfriends and went to les stateroom. The next meaning he did not appear. He was -never seen again. efie 'disappearance became an international sensation. When the Way broke out there was a rumor that Diesel had been killed by the Germans to keep him from giv- ing technical secrets 'to the British., The mystery, unsolved., was grad- ually forgotten, and the average man today has never heard of either the story or the engineer. There is no adequate account of his life in Eng- lish. Yet Rudolph Diesel was one of the greatest of inventors. His name has become a common noun; diesel liners furrow the seven seas, diesel trucks rumble along the highways, diesel -powered planes criss-cross the skies, diesel tractors plow our fields. Born in 1858, of a line of German artis'ans, young Rudolph was trained by his father as a mechanic. With a quick, inventive mind, he dashed th the Augsburg Trade Schools and won a scholarship at the Munich Technical Institute. When he had finished there, at the ageief 20, he had broken every academic record, and the astounded faculty met him in a body and shook 'hands with eine Two things more important than that happened to Rudolph Diesel at Munich. He listened to a lecture, and he seer a small gadget that looked like a popgun. The lecture was by Dr, Carl Linde, famous pioneer in artificial refrigera- tion. He discussed the steam engine and pointed out that the best then in use wasted 90 per cent of the en- ergy in the coal. In a notebook which has been preserved Diesel scribbled: eMechanical theory teach- es us that only. a part of the heat in the fuel can now be utilized . . . Doesn't it follow that the utilization of steam, or any kind of go-between, is false in principle? The possibility suggests itself of putting the energy to work directly. But. hew can this be done?" The popgun -lige gadget was a cigar lighter. The air in the cylinder, heated by the compression of a plun- ger, ignites a bit of combustible ma- terial. This gave Diesel a hint as to bow he could "put energy to work directly." Married and settled in Paris as an agent for Professor Linde's ice -ma - chains, Diesel worked nights on plans for the engine of his dream. Some- times Mrs. Diesel found him in the morning asleep overhis desk. His pile of blueprints and pages of figures kept mounting. He knew that the more you compress air, the hotter it becomes. (Put your hand on a bi- cycle pump in action and you get the idea.) Now why not build, an en- gine in which the piston pulls in nothing but pure air in its loading stroke, and ,ehen theses back toward the cylinder head, compressing the air to about one sixteenth of its lea- rner volume, and, be computed, .lierat- ing the air to 1000 deg. Fahrenheit? At that point inject a drop of oil in- to the cylinder. The hot air will ig- nite the oil, and its combustion will drive .the Osten down. There :would be no complicated ignition systeni Many men would have gone into the machine shop et that point and proceeded by trial and error, bat that. was not Diesere Sway. Everything about that engine, down' to the last bolt, had to be figured out and put d,own, on paper. Me was 35, and had been transfer- red to Linde's office in Berlin before he had his manuscript read Y for the printer. He bad already taken out patents. In January, 1893, the work was published. "Theory and Con- struction of a Rational Heat Motor" is a slender pamphlet, but it belongs on that small shelf of 'books which have clianged the world. Diesel knew that not more than a score of men on earth would grasp its significance, and was prepared for coldhess agd ridicule. He got both. Scoffers call- ed it a "paper engine," for it existed only iru a book. But Krupp agreed to finance the in- vention, and in August, 1893, Diesel% first motor was ready for a test. We see the inventor in an Augsburg -ma- chine shop, anxiously watching an upright, pumplike contrivance with a slowly revolving flywheel. No engine like this has ever been seen before. The outlandish thing needs outside power to mesh the , piston up and down. Diesel waits impatiently. At. last, eyes blazing with excitement, he. pulls a lever and the vaporized fuel spurts into the imprisoned, fiery hot air. There is a blast like a cannon-Sbot and chunks of metal bombard the room. Barely Massed by death, Diesel leaps to his feet with a shout of tri- umph. "That's what I wanted to know!" he cries. "It proven I'm on the right track!" He tailed four more years on that neck. 111hen rone ,clay !the world's most famous engineers flocked to Augsburg to see a 20 -horsepower "dieseim'otor' that amazed them with its efficiency. Among the pligriza was Colonel D. 0..Meler, New York engineer. Adol- phus Bustin St. Louis brewer, WAS in Paris, on the point of sailing for Star Weekly! in Reeder's Digest) home. Meier told Busch about the new engine, and Busch jumped on: the next train, wirktig Diesel to meet him halfway. At Cologne, they came to a rapid-fire agreement giving Busch the sole riglet tp maaufacture.diesels in the Umeted States. Nyiblein a year a two -cylinder diesel was set eo work in St. Louis. But, ,fuel being cheap in this coun- try. diesel deVelopment languished. In 1912, when the inventor visited the United States, he was famous all ov- er Europe as Da Diesel; he lived in a palatial (house in Munich, and mon- en was flowing In from diesel plants in five countries:. "Nowhere in the world," he told the American :Society of Mechanical Engineers, "are the possibilities of this prime mover so. great as in the United States." Yet he admitted that it •might be years before this develop- ment took place. Now Diesel's prophecy has come true. Nowhere in the world is there greater activity in harnessing diesel power than in the United States. More' than 60 American firms are making diesel engines. The volume of diesel horsepower installed in 1937 was 20 times the total of five years before. Diesel power drives the ,streamlined trains; 'ast year, 125 'die- sel buses began service on the streets, of Ohicego and New York. In New York City alone, more than 90 big establishments like the Public Lib- rary, Columbia University, the Hotel New Yorker, and Macy's and Alt - man's departznent stores, develop light and power from their own diesel plants. Ever since C. L. Crimmins drove his diesel coupe from Los Angeles, to New York at a fuel cost of $7.63, big motor firms have been working be- hind closed doors., and innocent -look- ing cars on the road today are un- obtrusively testing (hese' engines. American makers of aircraft motors are conducting similar experiments,. In Germany, diesel -powered Junkers transport planes have been giving daily service for years. The diesel engine advantage is that it uses the cruder and cheaper form of petroleum. True, the .price may go up as the diesel boom in creases demand. But. the Augsburg genius thought of this. His engine will run on almost anything. At the start, Diesel tried powdered coal. It worked, but it scored the cylinder. Dieel also used castor oil, palri oil, fish oil, cottonseed; oil and peanut oil. Tar and melted asphalt have been used. Even buttermilk will ante ov- er a diesel, although engineers don't recommend it. Tragedy was only a fen" months a- way when Dr. Diesel returned home after his American viten in 1912. Two friends crossed the Channel with him an the nieht of dais disappearance. One was Georges Carels, head of the diesel factory at Ghent. The trio dined cheerfully, and then strolled the deck. When they went. below, Dieel left the others as they passed bis cabin_ A moment later, be tapped on Carels' door, shook bis hand heart- ily and wished him, good -eight. It seemed a little unnecessary: "I will see you in the morning," (he said, and those were bis last words. They found his nightshirt on his ailkwe, still folded, and his watch carefully bung on this bag. Over a week later, a Dutch bekat pulled a body aboard. It was batter- ed beyond recogeetion, and after re- moving the contents of the pockets, they dropped it overboard. Later a COW puese, a rpoe..ketkezife, ansi a spectacle case were identified as Dr. Diesel's. But with international ;tension at fever 'heat, and dieseepowered sub- marines straining at the leash, mel- odramatic stories quickly arose. It was rumored that he bad been push- ed overboard by Gement secret ag- ents. In a newspaper article a man who said be had served on a German submarine (told bow 'the traitor Die- sel met the end the deserved." These stories are still prinbed now and then. The truth was revealed recently in Eugen Diesel's biography of. hie fa- ther, so far neglected by Engfish translabone. Behind the facade of Rudolph Diesel's confident manner, his big amuse in Munich and his posi- tion of world renown, he was at the old of his rope. All his 'property Was heavily mortgaged; he faced haellaliPtcY• to himan intolerable dis- grace. Wanting a portune to push his engine ever farther into Popular- ity, he bad peculaeled in Munich real estate, and had lost heavily. After hie death 16 was found that he owed $375,000, while his assets came to only $10,000. "If my friend Dieeet had only said one word to me!" exclaimed Adol- phus Busch. There were a dozen other men who would have helped him, but his stubborn pride forbade. He had discussed methods of sui- cide with Ws son, Rudolph, Jr., and the boy, never dreaming that brie fa- ther was anima, said that he thought the best way was be jump off a feat- nuovimg ship. When he left for Eng- land, hie farewells were unaccount- ably affectemate. Ctinamnel Mengs are dismal at- tains at best. He as alone alter 11/3 evening of forced &equines% and impending disaster loomed before him with double force. He went back ein deek, and Wore bins lay the *4r% oblaviona sea.

At the Haskelite pleat in Grand Rapids, nine men molded a half section of the "Clark 46" fuse- lage in one lama Two hours for the whole fuselage. Shipped to the Fair- child factory, only 'five hours and 20 minutes were required to assemble the entire fuselage and fit it, without filing or drilling, to the completed plane. In regular produ,etion, the time should be cut even: further. There is no reason why Duramold wings and luselaeee may not eventu- ally enable us to realize the long- standing dream ef airplanes as cheap as automobiles. Clark may become the Ford of the skyways. Naze Germany terrified the world by turning out 10,00e metal planes in orie year. The democraciesa-includ- ing ourselves—knew that it would take months, perhaps years, to over- come this preponderance. The great Douglas plant,under forced draught, needs 18 months to turn out 500 ships for the British. We can tum- ble airplane motors, instrumente, pro- pellors, fittings, off the assembly line. But production bogs down in the bot- tleneck of ,structurae parts, with their thousands or manhours and millions of rivets. Durainold planes will break the bot- tleneck. The German war plane pro- gram calls for 160,000 skilled NVorkers in the airplane plants alone, plus 240,000 more to make parts. With ten seta of dies, 200 men in a factory covering one city block mind build enough Durarnold fuselage, wing and tail shells for 300 planes a month. With 100 dies, 2,000 workmeu, only semi -skilled at that, could in one year mold awl assemble 36,000 Dura - mold planee.
