* Proved by Use
Inventors and builder, of ma-
chines speak a forceful language.
Once 1 heard on engineer discuss-
ing 3 new Invention his firm was
about to manufacture and sell. "It's
fit to use,’’ he said, "but not per-
f'-'Ct. We ll sell n few hundred of
them and work the bugs cut.” In
other v. rds—with a great many
people using the tiling, he could
learn from their complaints how to
make It better.
Sometimes the first model of a de-
v.ee is too complicated. In other in-
stance,;, it might need attachments
to make it serve its purpose bet-
ter. As Don Quixote remarked,
"The test of the pudding is in the
eating ” Practical service to the
public is tho final proof ol an inven-
tion’s worth. In service, defects
come to light; in service, improve-
ments are suggested.
Usage Will Tell
New t want to point out that tin’s
I principle is just as rightly applied
! to governmental devices as to
I mechanical ones. In service u pre-
i cisely where statesmen find out hotv j
1 good their theories arc If a law or I
a system proves to be a nuisance,
t.he public v ill be quick to discover j
it, and if they are permitted to ex- ,
press themselves, will say *>• real-
ily-
This is why advocates of this and
that brand of Socialism avoid tell-
ing the history cf socialistic experi-
ments. Most of them have come
to such dismal ends. To theory they
are very pretty but in service they j
don't work. Accordingly that's why
I go before meetings week after
week and talk about the high stand-
ard of living m America. Toe Amer-
isystem actually works.

A Flexible Plan
America’s economic system, free
private enterprise, the only one
compatible with our Constitution as
it stands, can lay no just, claim to
any dreamer's idea of perfection.
To prevent the strong, the shrewd
and the rich from taking advantage
of the weak, the trusting and the
poor, many restraint* on business
have been made into laws. Here i»
tiie system's virtue: It can be
changed
Private enterprise is not new. It
is far advanced in that process of
government based on usage. When
adopted in America, it was fit to
use. and it. grew better for 150
years. It has nurtured a society

OKLAHOMA CITY, 0K1-A.--
Orba* T. Guthrie, 42-year-eld blind
furniture merchant, was convicted
of first degree manslaughter in the
shooting of Mrs. Elizabeth Hinds,
his former mother-in-law.
Prosecution officials said they
were unable to find any record of a
blind man having been tried for
murder in the state. The case was
complicated further by the fact that
a blind person — Guthrie's for-
mer wife—was the only- witness to
the Shooting,
The jury returned its verdict
without recommendation, leaving
to District Judge Lucius Babcock
the severity of Guthrie's sentence,
which may vary from a minimum
penalty of four years to a maximum
of life In prison.
