MIR. TATT's AMBITION

T.VROM the day he left law school 1t
was the ambition Of William ii.
Taft to be chief justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Through the years, Ma Taft bent
his energies to the achievement of that
ambition. He became judge early In
life, and made l good record.
He left the bench for service under
President Roosevelt, believing that
through work for the nation he would
be better able to reach his goal.
When he was offered the post Of sec
rotary Of war, Mr.. Taft made it known
to Mr.. Roosevelt that he would pre-
fer place on the Supreme bench.
No place was open at that time and
he accepted the secretaryship with the
understanding that his ambition might
be gratified later.
Then the exigencies Of politics made
him a candidate for the presidency, an
honor no American Of ability Is likely
TO refuse.
Mr.. Taft became President. yet his
real ambition had not been achieved.
Now he has been given the post he
90 long wanted, and win, most people
believe, I'LL it with great credit.
OF course, few men can single out .
particular high post as the object Of
life ambition with any hope Of attain
Ing 1t.
Yet it was because Mr.. Taft wanted
TO be chief justice that he developed
the ability that made him first COVER
nor Of the Philippines, then sort Of
rowing commissioner for Mr.. Roose-
yelt and later secretary Of war.
II he had NOT wanted, with all hts
heart, to be chief Justice, he would
never have been President. Content

have kept him always IN Ollioa

Honest ambition may not get q man
what he wants, but It Is sure to make
him ADLER and better qualified for high
position. and brings him some lmpor-

THE LAST CHAPTER

THE hunters Joy is in the tale,
More great than in the kill,
The sailor rides the wlntry gale
Not for the wlntry thrill
But that at nighttime he may sit
Before the fire recOuntIng 1t.
For this men climb the steepest mount
And walk the widest plain,
And bring to firesides an account
OF all the toll and pain
The toll and pain made pleasure wheU
They tell the tale to other men.
For Memory is healing nurse
VINO makes our minds forget
The rocks and rivers that we curse
No. we remember yet,
And yet remember rather glad
For every hurt we ever had.
Life's an Adventure, like the tran,
The cruise across the seas;
1t has it's hill, it has its gale,
It has its memories;
And we shall sit in quiet age
Made glad by every blotted page.
Yes, Time shall soften every fall
And leave the story dear.
Life shall be lovely, after all,
The hurts shall disappear;
Without occasional defeat
Life's story had not been complete.

TEENS AND TWENTIEs

Thy EXPERIENCE the child soon

AS he grows older he learns that

that cause him bodily pain.

PARISH co. SHOWS
LIGHT CAR FRAMES
Structures Of Molybdenum
Steel Are Exhibited at
Commodore.

To produce motor cars of ever de-
creasing weight has been the aim of
automobile engineers during recent
years. In their development OF the light
weight car one essential and heavy part
Of the machine has been left almost
unchanged by the engineer. This part
is the frame
The manufacture Of frames has been
ment too extensive and costly for auto
mobile manufacturers to include in their
own plants. II has been the general
practice TO build frames for each make
of car according TO the specifications Of
It's manufacturer. AS a result the con-
struction OF automobile frames developed
less rapidly than any other part OF the
automotive industry.
The Parish Manufacturing Corpora
ton. one OF the foremost manufacturers
OF frames. realized that the frame was
suffering because II was no: following
the efficient development OF the rest OF
believed that they could make a real
contribution 20 the automobile business
by giving manufacturers the benoiit OF
advanced ideas in frame construction
based on extended research. The COM
pany therefore started Il series OF expert
ments IN their own laboratories. They
realized that the problem OF every manu-
facturer was 10 reduce the weight of his
car and at the same time retain a
maximum OF comfort There were many
reasons back OF the public demand for
lighter cars. one OF them was the fact
that tests had shown that within certain
limits every los pounds cut from the
weight OF an automobile added one mile
70 the mileage per gallon OF gasolene.
During their fifteen years experience
the Parish Corporation progressed In the
selection OF materials from ordinary un-
treated carbon steels through complete
investigation and application OF improv-
Ing alloys They developed for their use
chrome-nickel and chrome -vanadium
steels. as well as the aluminium alloys
ignite and duralumlnum.
The Parish experimenters found how
ever, that while thcsc alloys affected
some little reduction In weight. IL was
not possible with their use, TO effect n
really radical cut. The only solution
was to find new alloy which would
give still lighter weight while retaining
q great degree OF resiliency.
The Parish experimcnters. in the
midst of their research, heard that the
discovery OF. big mountain of molyb-
denum ore at Climax. Col. made II pos
siblc TO produce this steel alloy, Of
hitherto unknown lightness, strength
and workable ability, Oh commercial
scale.
Molybdenum had made wonderful
war record. II flew over the German
lines IN Liberty motors. ploughed its
way into the enemy's machine gun nests
In the armor OF baby" tanks. and it
protected the heads OF thousands OF
Yankee doughboys as part OF the
steel used In their helmets. Molyb-
denum, too. was part OF the famous
seaplane NC-4. the first alrplaine 10
cross tho Atlantic Ocean.
The Parish Corporation sent for some
OF this new steel. tested II and made
number Of automobile frames OF II.
The frames were found 20 be lighter,
stronger and more resilient than other
steel frames. An exhibition OF frames
is being held by the Parish company az
the Hotel Commodore.
