Reconversion No Great
Obstacle to Industry
Many Factories Making Consumers Goods for
Services; Numerous Others to Require
Only Minor Changes.
By BAUKHAGE
JVctoi Analyit and Commentator.
WNU Service Union Trust Buildlnff
Washington D. O.
Reconversion has begun and It
looks as If one prediction made
back when conversion had been ac-
complished with many an ache
and groan would come true. Then
the experts predicted that reconver-
sion would bo easier than conversion.
Eighty per cent of tho factories
wo are now told by officials of the
department of commerce will not
have to do a major reconversion job.
This is largely because many indus-
tries now furnishing supplies to tho
military will continue to manufac-
ture the same supplies for civilians
clothing food printing electrical
appliances you can think of a whole
lot of othera yourself. It will bo no
great problem for the makers of
such products to shift from one mar-
ket to another from Uncle Sam to
John Q. Consumer.
Some industries whose present
final product differs considerably
from the civilian goods they moke
won't have such major difficulties
either. It will please the ladles to
learn that even the folks who have
been making parachutes will have
little or no trouble changing back
to stockings. The nylon people sim-
ply have to change spools.
There are a number of other pre-
dictions concerning the future of
businesses big and little and one
of them is$that 40 per cent of the
industries although they von't do
the business they ore doing today
with Uncle Sam as a customer will
have a bigger demand to meet than
they had in the boom year of 1929.
And this condition will continue say
the prophets of profits for two or
three years on the impetus of the
present pent-up buying power of
the nation.'" If we keep our heads
meanwhile there is no reason why
the period of prosperity cannot be
extended.
But what about the other types of
business which were expanded by
war demands for products which
won't havo any civilian market?
Well our American business inge-
nuity and our native mechanical in-
ventive genius they tell us are go-
ing to step into the picture again.
Then there will be the natural evo-
lution which will eliminate the below-average
business man and es-
tablish a survival of the fittest.
Yankee Ingenuity
To the Fore
What started me off on this topic
was a typical example of how this
inventive genius stimulated by war
demands has laid the foundation
for turning what started as a little
two-room factory into a big small-
town business. The man with the
inventive genius is a frequent Wash-
ington visitor these days. His name
is Burl E. Sherrill. The name of
the town is Peru Ind. population
13000. Sherrill is a modest Hoosier
genius in his forties who managed
to make a living from tinkering and
selling the patents on the gadgets
he invented. Then one day he made
something he liked so well he didn't
want to part with the idea behind it
so he decided to manufacture it him-
self. Itwas a popular-priced mag-
netic compass for use in steel-
bodied automobiles and trucks.
Sherrill rented three offices right
on the public square of Peru turned
them into his factory and started
out. Soon he began to expand push-
ing lawyers doctors real estate men
out of the way. But I am getting
ahead of my story.
Sherrill was a born inventor al-
though he didn't realize it and start-
ed off to study law. After two years
at the University of Chicago he
found that his hunger for the law
was appeased his hunger for three
meals a day was not. He went to
work managing a little neighborhood
shoe store in Chicago. This gave
him 0 chance totinker in the kitch-en-lnboratorjr
in his flat. Then he
got a chance at a job back in In-
dianarepairing radios in Peru.
This gave him lots of opportunity to
tinker and he patented inventions
and sold them which bolstered his
income considerably Finally he
evolved the compass which he
.wouldn't part with. He was able to
hire a small staff of workers then
came the war and no more civilian
-nutos.
But there were lots of military ve-
hicles and after our blind tanks had
lost themselves in the African des
BARBS
An official navy bulletin included
this warning: "Navy personnel are
not allowed to transport monkeys to
or from India."
The government has moved west
from the Hudson one congressman
commented. Fine so long as it
doesn't stop when it gets to the
Mississippi. This is a very wide
country.
erts Washington found out about
Sherrill and gave him the challcngo
of making a compass for use in mo-
torized equipment of various kind3.
Sherrill went to work and produced
his models. Tho Carnegie Institute
the army engineers and the war
college looked them over and put
their okch on them. Tho Inventor
moved downstairs and took the
whole first floor of the building on
Peru's public square. The 20 men
who had assembled the auto com-
passes were increased to 125 working
at a regular assembly line.
Next came a call from the Mari-
time commission. A compass for
steel lifeboats was needed. Like the
tanks too many had been left to
wonder on tho high seas blind. Fur-
ther inventive genius was required
for this job for a steel lifeboat passes
much of its life on the steel deck
of a ship. A fciv months ago the
new compass was approved and pro-
duction is now under way.
Some day of course the last war
order will nrrive atthe factory in
Peru but because of tho war-stimulated
ingenuity of one man a prod-
uct has been created the demand
for which will continue for such war
machines as are still needed plus a
demand for civilian use which will
return the moment restrictions on
motor travel and transportation are
over. In addition I understand from
Sherrill a new hearing-aid is in the
making.
War a Spur to
Many Entrepreneurs
To reconvert to the manufacture
of civilian products no change of
machinery or assembly line nor
any retooling will be necessary at
the Sherrill factory. Nor will the
number of employees have to be re-
duced. v
Of course not many inventors are
endowed with enough business sense
to run plants of their own. Sherrill
appears to be an exception. When
he got his first army order he was
asked when he could deliver how
many compasses. He named the fig-
ure and the day and what is more
he lived up to his promise which
was more than many manufacturers
with less foresight and more unfore-
seen hurdles have been able to do.
There are other inventors and oth-
er business men who like Sherrill
have received from war demands
the stimulation which will push them
ahead and carry them through the
breakers of reconversion. .Sherrill
himself has no technics education.
He calls himself a graduate from q
junkpile. But he can talk with the
scientists and the experts and what
is more he makes the pictures he
draws on his drawing board some-
times in the small hours in pajamas
and slippers work.
He has the typical American it-
genuity shared by thousands of oth-
ers who helped win the war for us
and who will keep us from losing the
peace.
k
Recently a listener wrote in with
a suggestion that a fitting memorial
for the late President Roosevelt
could be provided in a manner which
would aid the bond drive. She sug-
gested that "if bonds were contrib-
uted for a memorial commensurate
with our sorrow and regret by the
time these bonds matured we would
be able to buy the most magnif-
icent memorial in the world in honor
of our greatest President."
Then she concludes: "I am one ol
the many 'little people' who would
gladly contribute a small bond now
but may not be able to give anything
later."
The psychology of that suggestion
is interesting. Regardless of what
the purpose of a fund might be what
a splendid way of raising it and thus
achieving exactly what the govern-
ment wishes to achieve by the sale
of bonds: the double purpose of se-
curing cash to defray war expenses
and also reducing the amount of in-
flationary pocket-money.
It struck me as such a good idea
that I sent it along to Ted Gamble
who is in charge of such matters in
Connection with the Seventh War
loan. Next to making suggestions
for selling bonds I suppose one of
the best things one can do is buy
them. Of course if everybody fol-
lowed that horse-sense plan and
bought simply for the security of
their own future the treasury
wouldn't need any suggestions.
by B aitJeha ge
Sale of horse meat is reported on
the increase. If that's the case we'd
better end this gasoline shortage
soon.
A medal was recently awarded to
a high officer for saving the life of
a woman by stopping a runaway
horse 2Q years ogp. Wllich shows
he was faster at catching up with
what he was after than his medal.

GOD'S JOX IN CREATION
LESSON TEXT Genesis 1:1-3. 10-12 IB-
18 2G ST 31.
GOLDEN TEXT God saw everything that
ho had mode nnd behold It was very
good. Genesis 1:31.
The destiny of this world seems
to be in the balances in our day
with wicked men ruthlessly trying
to destroy that which is good and
upright. We are deeply concerned
in our hearts that the right should
triumph and that a just and right-
eous peace should come.
In such a day it is good to remind
ourselves as we will in our three-
month series of studies in Genesis
that man did not moke this world
nor is it the product of natural
forces. God mode it.
God who is eternal infinite and
knows all from tho beginning is not
moved by the impulses of the mo-
ment nor staggered by the catas-
trophes of a day.
He made the world. He made man.
Ho had a plan for them and still
has a plan which He will in due sea-
"son work out for His own glory.
I. God Made Heaven and Earth
(vv. 1-5 10-12 16-18).
Tho biblical account of creation
"In the beginning God" stands
as a dignified satisfactory intelli-
gent explanation of the origin of
things and in bold contrast to the
confusing and almost unbeliev-
able theories of men.
Tho best of scientists admit that
they know nothing of the origin of
tilings and some say that they never
will know. The answer to this query
with which every human philosophy
opens is the affirmation with which
the divine account in Genesis opens
"In the beginning God."
Space forbids full discussion of
the account of creation but a study
of it will reveal its beautiful order
symmetry and completeness.
Compare that orderly account with
the absurdities of the ancient human
cosmogonies and you have a new
regard for Scripture.
II. God Made Man in His' Own
Image (vv. 20 27).
Although man has often so de-
imsed himself by sin and dis-
obedience to God that it seems al-
most unbelievable it is neverthe-
less true that he was made in the
likeness and image of God. Because
that is true we never give up hope
for him. Because of that image no
matter how deeply defaced by sin
man still may be touched by re-
deeming grace and restored to fel-
lowship with God.
The likeness and image of God in
man refers to a moral and spiritual
likeness. Man is a living soul with
intelligence feeling and will. He is
a moral being knowing the differ-
ence between right and wrong. He
is a self-conscious personal being.
To man God gave dominion
over the earth and all its potential
powers. Sometimes one has been
hopeful that man was making good
progress in the development of
the earth's resources for his own
good and the glory of God. But one
is sad to see how he has used thi3
great God-given opportunity for de-
struction and death. Only a revival
of real Christianity can bring him
back to his senses. Let us pray and
work for it.
Observe that the family was estab-
lished as the center of man's life
on earth as God gave him a "help
meet unto him." Woman was taken
"not out of man's head that she
should rule over him; nor out of his
feet to be trampled upon; but out
of his side to be equal 'with him
under his arm to be protected by
him and near his heart to be
loved by him" (Matthew Henry).
The decay of family life and the
modern substitution of social and
civic units as the basis of life hove
led to disastrous results one of
which is juvenile delinquency. Not
only do we need a revival of re-
ligion we also need a revival of the
home life of the nation.
III. God Made All Things Well
(v. 31).
When men do recognize the hand
Of God in creation they often seem
to feel that what He made was rath-
er limited and defective. It would
almost seem that God should be
clever about perfecting His work
developing it and making it useful.
As a matter of fact God who
had all knowledge and whose stand-
ards are higher than man's stand-
ards could possibly be looked over
His creation and "behold it was
very good" (v. 31). It was a "fin-
ished" job (2:1).
Man has destroyed much of cre-
ation's beauty. Sin came in and
marred it. What man's inventive
cleverness has developed of the pos-
sibilities of this world is only a
minute fraction of what is yet avail-
able. Instead of boasting man might
well be distressed at the pathetic
slowness with which he has
"thought God's thoughts after Him."
Instead of fighting and destroying
he ought to give his energies to
building developing and above all
to loving God with all his heart
anq hi3 neighbor as himself (Matt.
22:?7-4Q).

Dumas Found Innkeeper
To Be an Appeaser
Alexander Dumas while travel-
ing through England stopped one
night at a country inn for supper.
Unfamiliar with the language he
tried to explain to the innkeeper
in hesitant English that he wanted
some mushrooms served with his
meat.
Despite the dramatist's attempt
the latter did not understand.
Finally in desperation Dumas
drew a picture of a mushroom on
a slip of paper. With that the inn-
keeper smiled nodded his head
understandingly and withdrew.
Several minutes later he re-
turned and offered Dumas a good-
sized umbrella.
