formances as one could well imagine.
us say. to prepare, in behalf of the
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association, a
learned disquisition to be offered for
publication to the farmers journals
of the country; and this is what his
smooth. cultivated voice. would say
into the glass mouthpiece:
Seven copies on onionskin single
space line close to top released for
publication June twenty eight head
line in capitals Cottonsesd Mash De-
clared Coming Cattle Food paragraph
Scientists have been giving con-
siderable time to the problem of
cheaper cattle food dash a problem
very closely related to the H c Of L
capitalize period Among these scien-
fists professor Frazer frazier has
comma It is now announced comma
arrived at a highly important con-
clusion semicolon so important comma
indeed comma that the quote buga-
boo b-u-s-a-b-o-o end quote Of por-
terhouse steaks as q luxury for the
rich only may now be averted period
Then would follow details OF protein
content, and a great deal Of techni-
cality with which, to hear Mr..
Gambler, you would swear he had
been familiar for years; whereas the
cotton seed crushers had only several
weeks ago called on Mr.. Strayer to
plead that he do something to help
them, and had little or no data to
offer. And Mr.. Gambler never mis-
handled a fact or propagated lie;
he was one Of those rare publicity
men who could make unhoticed truth
blossom like a rose. He did not
use either lies or adjectives to win
his publicity battles: he used well
dressed fact.
Lifting deftly the cylinder from
the machine after half an hour Of
this, he would put another on and.
with the same easy nonchalance and
the Same far-away look in his eyes.
he would then say-in behalf Of the
democratic political campaign:
1.-TWO copies white and carbon
double-spaced line close to top sug-
gested editorial headline in capitals
Tho League Of Nations a. q Great
Business Enterprise Paragraph World
affairs are business affairs in the
main period Disraeli capital d-i-s-
ra-a-e-l-i once said comma In a
burst of temper to parliament capi-
tai comma that world business was
being left in the hands Of pirates
and pack peddlers instead OF states
men period"
And then Mr.. Gambler would .ex.
pound gently, until the end Of the
cylinder. the thesis that We owed it
to the greatness Of tho nation to
take up our world responsibilities.
Slipping OF the cylinder and In .
trice putting another on. he would
proceed to prepare for the hardware
trade papers some news items about
newly patented double boiler for
housewives or a very impoaingly
couched communication to the medi-
cal journals about modern practices
in anesthetics, or notices about a
Salvation Army fund drive"
Sitting, mouthpiece in hand. Mr..
Gambler, however, one morning
seemed unable to continue his die
tation; a thought seemed to obsess
him. His eyes quite distinctly did
not have q far-away look in them;
they seemed particularly shining and
real Perhaps the noticeable flush on
his face set them on to advantage.
Fifteen minutes before he had once
more been checkmated In very in
nocent-looking effort to say few
words to the dictaphone operator.

cUDDENLY he leaned. over to the
rack Of fresh cylinders and ex-
axnined one after another Of them.
