Talk it Over With John Hays Hammond Through Esca G. Rodger
"Old fell, you look like a scrapper,"
you say softly.
You're sitting in the reception hall
of John Hays Hammond's Washington home, staring back at an African
lion that is eying you coldly. A magnificent beast! Dead? Well, yes. But
you prefer him that way. And he's
more than an effective floor covering.
Though he's a dead lion, he's a living
symbol
of strength, of courage, of

the indomitable spirit of the engineer. Just what you'd expect to find
in John Hays Hammond's hall.
"A fighter in far places, weren't
you, old fellow?" you reflect as your
tawny
eyes measure the animal's
length.
Whew, what lion! You estimate that
if you were to lie down on him with
the top. of your head touching the
base of his neck, your toes would just
about touch the base of his tail. You'd
like to try it. But you decide you
won't. Suppose someone came and
caught you at it?
A few minutes later as you're shaking hands vith John Hays Hammond
d
in a
study that looks out
over the tree tops, you realize if Mr.
Hammond had found you measuring
yourself on his lion, he would merely
have chuckled. He's the understanding kind, this
engineer
who has breakfasted with workmen
and dined with kings.
A man of great understanding; a
man of great achievement, a man who
has lived great adventures in rough,
remote corners of the world that's
John Hays Hammond.
And he likes boys.
"Please sit dowji," he invites you.
"What is it you want to know?"
"All about engineering," you an
swer promptly, your twinkle meeting
his. You know you're asking the impossible.
Few men know so much as
John Hays Hammond does about all
kinds of engineering, but how can any
thing about the training and work and
man pack into a morning's talk every
thing about the training and work and
rewards of the civil engineer, the min
ing engineer, the mechanical engineer,
the chemical engineer, the elctrical
engineer, the marine engineer, the
military engineer?
The thing can't be done. You mod-- ,

"I'd like to get a bird's-ey- e

testing myself to find
learn ways of
otft if I'm the right sort to make an
engineer; I'd like to know about the
best kind of training; then I'd like to
know something about openings in
engineering, and about the future in
it."
"One of the best ways of finding out
if you have the right qualities for engineering is to talk with different men
in the profession," Mr. Hammond suggests. "Men are glad to help a boy
size up himself, and in a personal
talk, a man can often learn enough
about a boy so that he can give him
advice that fits his special case.
"But here is some general advice
that fits every boy's case. Don't go
into engineering with the idea of getting rich quick or of getting into
something soft and easy. Feverish
scrambling for big money isn't worth
while and an engineer's life isn't
soft. It's a hard life, and a relatively
short one. The successful engineer
must be of pioneering caliber. He
faces many hardships and runs grave
risks in rough countries."
Grave risks. You remembed how

One of the most outstanding
engineers I've known was greatly
handicapped because of the paralysis
of one of his legs. Yet he won recognition as an expert. He made examinations for me in Mexico, in South
America, and in many inaccessible
parts of the world. He died before he
reached middle age, but he had acquired a competency and high rank
in his profession.
"The man who hasn't a strong physique must learn how to take care of
himself. I wasn't particularly robust;
yet I've survived a good many hardships. In spite of the dysentery contracted on the Zambezi river, malaria
in Central America, and pneumonia in
Utah, I am 'well preserved,' as I am
told by kind friends; I ascribe this to
the fact that most of my life has been
spent in the open and that I have
benefited by long horseback rides in
many remote regions of the world,
sleeping out at night, and being compelled to eat simple meals."

high treason.
They were tried before Gregorw-sk- i,
"the hanging judge," imported
from Orange Free State for the oc
casion because the Transvaal judges
refused to sit. Gregorowski came
boasting that he'd make short work
of John Hays Hammond and his companions came
bringing his black cap with him.
The trial was a farce. Within a
surprisingly short time, the death
sentence was pronounced.
Immediately, Mr. Hammond
and
the other three leaders were conducted
to the Pretoria prison and locked up
in the death-cel- l.
For twenty hours,
the four were huddled together in that
dark little cell, where they could hear
plainly the pounding of the carpenters erecting the gallows OMtside.
But, though the condemned men
could not know it, those twenty hours
were bringing cablegrams of protest
from all over the world. In the end,
the death sentence was commuted to
life imprisonment. Later, upon personal payment of a fine of ?125,000
each, Mr. Hammond and his fellcw
prisoners were released.
All this slips through your mind ac
off a rapidly running picture reel.
Grave risks!
But John Hays Hammond, sitting
opposite you in the sunny study so

evidently thinking of everyday risks,
risks with a different sort of thrill but
no less grave in the long run.
