The past eighteen months have taught us here in America what lack of industrial preparedness has meant to some of the countries now at war. These nations had the ships and they had the men; but when the hour struck, their factories were not able to furnish the colors with arms and shells and powder. Their factories were not prepared. And our factories are not prepared. But it is not enough to draw a moral. In the United States five great Engineering Societies — Civil, Mining, Mechanical, Electrical and Chem- ical — have pledged their services to the Government of the United States, * and are already working hand in hand with the Government to prepare industry for the national defense. They receive no pay and will accept no pay. All they seek is opportunity to serve their country, that she may have her industries mobilized and prepared as the basic line of defense. All elements of the nation’s life —the manufacturers, the business men, and the workingmen — should support this patriotic and democratic work of the engineers, and assist them cheerfully when asked. There can be no better national insurance against war. The Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, representing all adver- tising interests have offered their free and hearty service to the President of the United States, in close co-operation with these five ties, to the end that the Country may know what the engine The President has accepted the offer. The engineers have welcomed the co-operation. This advertisement, published without cost to the United States, is the first in a nation-wide series to call the country to the duty of co-operating promptly and fully with the Engineers to prepare industry for & 2) NATIONAL DEFENSE AND 9 INTERNATIONAL PEACE Passing the Mustard Unlucky—“I'm unlucky. o What’ 's the matter now?” “Everything goes against me.
