OF all the trade secrets that are
jealousy guarded there are two that
bid fair ever to remain mysterious.
except to those Immediately concerned,
says the Baltimore Sun. One is the
Chinese method of turning out the
bright and beautiful color known as
vermillion or Chinese red, and the 9th
err is the Turkish process of inlaying
the hardest steel with gold and silver.
The famous Chartreuse liqueurs
have been manufactured for a very
long time by the Chartreuse monks,
and the secret formula whereby these
liqueurs are made is known, it is said,
to them alone. 1t has been estimated
that in the preparation of these
liqueurs some fifty varieties of seeds
and flowers are employed but, aside
from the monks, no one knows just
how. Annually, it is said, there ac-
crues to this religious order, as its
profit from the manufacture and sale
Of chartreuse, something over $3.50,
600. which. it is understood is dis
tributed among the various religious
and charitable institutions.
Another order of monks, the Bene
dictines, possess an equally valuable
trade secret in the manufacture of {
lqueur scarcely less profitable thar
chartreuse. Tradition has it that this
recipe was lost during the Frencl
revolution, during which time manu-
facture of the liqueur was suspended
The priceless formula turned III

sumed their lucrative industry.

Labor Leaders Talk.
of Settling Strikes

NEW YORK. Dec. AT a meeting of
labor leaders here today in an endeavor to
settle the dispute between the metal
workers and carpenters and jolners there
was much Informal discussion of the Me-
Namara confessions and their effect upon
unionism. While 1t could not be aseer-
tained whether the matter was brought
up In the meeting, there was much talk
outside concerning a countrywide effort
TO settle all existing strikes Immediately
with view to offsett!ng the present cry
against unionsm."
Among those present at the meeting
were w. ID. Huber of Indianapolis, presi-
dent Of the Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Jolners; NJ. o. Sullivan OF Pitts
burgh, president Of the Amalgamated
Sheet Metal Workers; George Hedrck OF
Laporte Ind. president OF the Brother
hood OF Painters; o. " Tveitmoe, presl-
dent of the California Federation OF
Labor. and James Short OF Chicago, presi-
dent OF the building trades department OF
the federation.
one leader was quoted as saying that
il the attempt TO settle all strikes was
successful 'labor would have a chance 20
offset the present outcry against union
ISM
Not only did the leaders seem to want
TO settle all existing labor troubles, but
IL was suggested I'm the Informal talks
that II all warning labor unions could
hold a conference and perhaps settle their
difficulties in an amicable way, a world
OF good might result.
One OF those who took part in the ses-
sion today expressed his belief that the
matter finally would be settled when

can Federation OF Labor returns here to

Good Driver Necessary.
He puts in oil and gasoline only when
absolutely necessary, and never saves it
In the street, driving at top speed all Of
the time. This is not true in all cases,
but is in many, for while the merchant
would not employ any but a competent
man to handle his horses, he thinks 1t
only necessary to get some one who
knows how to start and stop a truck for
its driver, never realizing that 1t is q
sensitive piece OF machinery that re-
quires certain amount of attention each
day.
When the horses are brought into a
stable 1T night they are taken in charge
by competent man. groomed, fed, and
cared for. No piece of machinery,
whether movable or stationary, can be
expected to run continuously without
the same intelligent attention that a
horse and wagon receives, except that 1t
takes about one-quarter of the time.

PLEASED as we are about winning this
economy contest, to my mind 1t is not
the most striking feature of the event
Any truck might have been fortunate
enough to win a two-day economy con-
test. 1t takes weeks and months OF such
performance to actually demontrate real
economy in operation, but the brake and
clutch contest did prove some things
for which we have been contending in
truck construction.
ITO my mind the clutch contest was
q whole commentary in itself upon the
proper balancing Of motor truck. In
this clutch contest the trucks were run
upon a platform, near one end OF which
was an eIght-inch block. The front
wheels Of each truck were placed against
this block, the engine speeded up. and
clutch engaged Each truck was re-
quired to stall it's engine or spin its rear
wheels in order to make a perfect score.
