the copper plating 1t is machined to the
final requirement and is sent to the
heat-treating DEPARTMENT. Other gears
are treated in like manner.
The inspection of the gears is per-
haps the most important part of the
work in the machine shop. Gauges
from Switzerland are used for this
purpose. The tool and inspection de-

ments to the desired point and then

tooth-vernier instrument which tests

gears are passed on to the heat treat
ment.
The heat-treat department smells
looks like bakery. The walls are
lined with oil furnaces sputtering and
blowing their intense fiery breath over
huge pans of parts Some OF the fur
naces are used TO carbonize the steel
parts. some to tougher the inner fiber
or core of the gears and shafts and
others are used to raise the tempera
ture of the parts to the proper heat
before they are placed in the larger
furnaces. Large oil and water watts,
placed near the furnaces. are used to
chill the heated steel at the proper
time.
After a part has passed through the
furnaces it Is chilled and
then reheated until case hardened, and
again heated so that the core acquires
the proper toughened fiber. Pre-heat-
ers and molten lead yats are used TO
attain the various heats specified.
The heat in the larger oil furnaces is
regulated carefully by a Pyrometer.
The heat in the furnaces creates an
electric current between two. wires OF
different metal The resistance thus
created is measured by a meter gradu-
ated into degrees of fahrenheit 1t is
possible by this system to ascertain the
heat OF any furnace at any time.

That Is his statement.
The first and obvious comment such an act IS
that the young has probably not realized the
opportunity TO do PEOPLE lot of good" which
he has just passed up. But he has himself
individualis and has avoided the respon-
sibilities that that particular million dollars in
volved. He has not avoided responsibility. however
1t is his duty to prove that he can be a better
citizen than rich, and that his really has
been the gain OF the community.

Dear Fred
You remember that talk the bird

meeting OF the ad club about how
10 sell things by laying a few ar
ticles down IN your front door for
the customers 70 trip over. You re-
member he said a good idea in the
selling gaG-@, and a great way TO
give your subconscious mind a good
work out was to lay down a mando-
lin in the front OF your place OF
business, If you happened TO be SELL
ing mandolins, and tt.en hide behind
screen until some one tried to
get into your store. The customer
comes into the store and naturally
falls all over the mandolin. and
while he rs picking himself up and
getting the q string unwound from
around his Newarks, you step out
from behind the screen with a re-
mark something like this
"HOwdy Mr.. Blank. 1 see you are
looking at one OF our mandolins.
How did you enjoy your trip2 That's
a very fine instrument there you've
just damaged. You can either buy

the matter a long time and finally
determined to give a real for sure

at the last meeting.
In this frame of mind I had one
OF our printing presses dragged out
to the front door at a cost of ap-
proXimately $4,000. II took prac-

the fathers should take part more actively in

fathers club is to be organized An effort viii be
made TO enlist every father in the district. 20 get
him to pay occasional visits to the school and at

As a rule the men of any community interest
themselves little in the school life of their chill

because the schools secure better deport-
ment in the young and ut them more successfully

full TO them. Few organizations hold greater pos
sibnity for good than the fathers school club.

JUST FOLKS
DADS BIG FAULT.
By EDGAR A. GUEST

When I was young 1 never heard
Ny mother speak an angry word.
My father had his faults, but oh,
My mother seemed to love him so,
She praised him for the good he did
And kept his little failings hid,
Yet always she would look distressed
When he spilled gravy on his vest.
When there was company for tea
She seemed in conS-aEc fear that he
Would grow so interested that
He'd quite forget that lie was fat:
And when across her gentle face
OF pain and sorrow came a trace,
We children very promptly guessed
That he'd spilled gravy on his vest.
He used to laugh and say: My dear.
Whatever is the matter here?"
And she'd Tut, tut, and shake her
head
As though some dreadful ming he'd
said
To indicate that she had seen
How very careless he had been,
That telltale streak TO all confessed
That he'd spilled gravy on his vest.
Now I am sitting where he sat,
And though I'm not so very fat,
AS did my mother, 50 does she
Maintain a constant watch DER me;
Perhaps IL is a sign Of age,
But, anyhow I've reached the stage
Where all the women grow distress
ed
When I spill gravy on my vest.

Why even folks from gay Paree.

And they declare our Yankee eats
Have nothing fricolous about EN-.

The while he made our buckwheat

Not all were just exactly Spanish.
We might have let the bird get BY

Or even listed rhubarb pie
