A vacuum can be created In single

The candle end is lighted and put into
one glass. the blOttlng paper IL well
dampened and placed on top OF the
glass. the other glass Inverted and its
rim placed exactly over the lower one
and pressed down tightly. The candle
will burn up all the oxygen in the
glass and go out.

will expand. and some OF 1t will be
forced out from under the moist paper:
then rs the portion remaining cools It

About q year ago the Kirby-Sorge-

a prolt-sharlng plan under which
the statesmen share in the profits OF
the company. The result OF this
system was a greatly increased vol

men and the Arm.
The firm has now gone step
farther and has extended its profit
sharing plan to its building depart
ment. Beginning July 1. II pays
its men In this department a mini

plan cannot help but be a great
benefit not only to the Arm. but
