Haskell, president Of the western golf
CLUB.
The Goodrich company some years
age was experimenting with golf
balls. 1t sent samples to the country
clubs. Those first balls were dead"
like pieces of wood. Haskell suggested
to Goodrich salesman:
| "You could put life into the golf
ball by COMPRISING the rubber core,
before winding it, the same as squeez-
ing sponge
| ABeen tried and doesn't work" said
| the rubber man.
"Then," proposed Haskell, take a
rubber core full of life and wind it
like a baseball, using strip of rub
her for wrapping That will keep the
rubber core under tension without
destroying its life."
Shortly afterward, says the Wall
Street Journal, Haskell's idea was
bringing him $4,000 year royalties
Herman Trash, a young man, work
| ed as chemist for the Standard Oil
company. He quit and took up sui
phur mining. Getting sulphur out of
mines was costly and paid for miners
health.
Trash drilled a well into sulphur
deposits. He pumped down hot water,
melting the sulphur, then pumped the
melted sulphur out by compress
ed air.
1t was a simple idea. but it had
made Trash a multimillionaire when
he died few years ago.
Millions of men saw steam in a
tea kettle lift the lid. 1t remained for
Watt to realize that steam generated
power, that the tea kettle lid-lifting
could be used on big scale. A very
common sense idea. 1t produced the
steam engine.
A Paris printer saw a compositor
pick up small pieces of colored paper
that had been punched out of book
keeping forms. throwing them on a
girl worker in rainbow shower.
Other printers had seen that. This
one, however, commercialized the
idea, inventing confetti.
Jacques Montgolfier got caught in

THE FEARFUL TOLL or THE
WORLD WAR


In recent speech delivered in the
United States senate, Senator Swan
son, Of Virginia, gave the following
figures Of the toll Of the world war
He said: The frightful toll Of this
great war to be exact was 9,9S0,000
men killed and 2O,297 900 wounded.
To this should be added $3.50, 800 pris-
oners and missing. If we accept the
usual number of dead among the
prisoners and missing we would have
| Il, $4,000 men killed What fright
full loss by death. A careful estimate
made by the World Peace Foundation
places the loss of population in the
world on account of this war at 50,-
100000 noncombatants.
How destructive modern warfare is
of life can readily be ascertained when
we reflect that in all wars between
1890 and 1913 the total loss was only
| 4,449,3OO. Thus modern warfare is so
destructive that in four years of the
late war three times as many people
were killed as were in the lI23 years
preceding.
The Cost in Dollars and Cents
The late war cost the United States
| $32,0S0, 100000 All our wars prior to
this one, the Revolutionary War, the
War of 1872, the Mexican War, the
Civu War, and the Spanish-Ameri-
can War, only cost us $1,000, 900.
Thus in Is months we expended in
war five times as much as was expend-
ed in all wars since we were colony
of Great Britain. We have expended
for all purposes since this government
was founded to the time we entered
the late war only $27 1000, 900. 900 Thus
| in Is months in order to bring the
late war to successful conclusion
the United States expended $780,
100000 more than it expended in the
Us years of its previous existence.
The expenses of the other participants
were equally as great The loss Of
life and property in this war exceed
ed those Of all wars since the begin
ming Of recorded history.
It's Fearful Aftermath
In these dry figures can be read
the story of our curtailed exports, Of
our large accumulated surplus on
farm, in mine, in factory, of reduced
wages, of merchant marine lying
| in port without cargo or employment,
and our railroad system without suf-
] ficient business to be probably oper-
ated The world is so interviewer in
Its interest, is interrelated, that dis
tressed conditions in these countries
are felt in the cotton fields of the
south, the tobacco fields of Virginia
and Kentucky, the wheat and corn
fields of the west, the mines of the
Rocky Mountains, and the factories
of New England Tax reform and re-
duction Of governmental expenditures
are world problems demanding immed-
late and decisive action. The curse
is world wide, and the relief to be
most effective must be universal.
