TREMENDOUS forward strides in
- American industry have developed
in each branch some particular spec
tacular phase that illustrates graph
tcally this development.
In steel manufacture it is the Oper-
alton of the open hearth and blast
furnace. In the manufacture of glass
it is the glass blower who holds the
interest. Shipbuilding finds its foca!
point in the launching of some ocean
greyhound In the manufacture of
portland cement it is the super-heating
of finely ground material in gigantic
kilns.
Kilns Tall as Twenty-Story Building.
The accompanying illustration shows
one end of a kiln used in modern &C.
ment plants. In many cases it's weight
will exceed 275,O0O pounds, empty. The
foundations that support it are heavy
enough to hold a ten-story building.
One of the largest kilns, if set on end,
would be as tall as a twenty-story Of

CARG0ES THAT SAILORS FEAR
Either Sugar, Coffee, or Cotton Are
Considered Far More Dangerous
Than Dynamite.

AT first thought it would seem that
dynamite was cargo to be carefully
avoided, but from a sailors point of
view there are far more dangerous
cargoes. He breads, for instance, a
cargo of sugar. Put hundreds of tons
of cane sugar In casks In the hold
of vessel and let the ship steam
through a spell of hot weather The
OdOr is sickening. The sailors cannot
get the sweet taste out of their
mouths, and crave vinegar or lemon
juiee-anything sour. They lose their
appetites and are always glad when
voyage on which the cargo was
sugar is over. Coffee is as disagree
able as sugar, in addition to being
very dangerous.
Cotton is really dangerous cargo.
If little oil happens to touch raw
cotton the result is spontaneous COM
bustiOn. A single bale of cotton sat
urated with such an oil as boiled lin
seed and lying at the bottom of the
hold can be compared only to a slow
match attached to a bomb.
Acids and other chemicals form
dangerous cargoes. Carbide of cal
cium, for example, is more dangerous
than dynamite. Acetylene gas Is
made from this chemical, and the
gas Is constantly given off if the
product is exposed to air.

Immense Production.

Some idea of the productivity of the
volcanic soil Of Hawaii may be had
when 1t is stated that while there are
only 1O9,310 acres devoted to sugar
cane, the annual average production
Of this area is 540,248 tons of sugar,
while Cuba with a cane acreage OF
approximately 100000 acres in har-
vest annually produces a yearly aver
age of 100000 tons of sugar. 1t Is

Long Period of Mourning.

Mourning fashions in some Of the
foreign quarters go to lengths that to
able. For instance, In the Sicilian
quarters, when the father of family
dies, his wife and daughters are ex-
pected to dress in mourning indefin-
itely. No matter how young a girl Is,
she is expected to wear dead black all
through her girlhood until she Is en-
gagged to be married. OF course, the
rule is not closely observed, but no
girl breaks it, even with the consent
Of her mother, without coming in for
some criticism. Three years of wear
ing mourning are quite usual.-New

The Helpful CaddY.

At one of the New England golf
clubs a young lady who is very popu-
lar with her caddies arranged a match
with an old woman who is proud Of
her mediocre ability. The young lady,
a good player, wished to lose the game
out Of courtesy and for social reasons.
Her opponent was in even worse form
than usual and the girl grew desperate.
She seemed unable to prevent her OPP
ponent from losing. Finally she told
her caddy that she would like to lose
the match. "Ah, MISS" he muttered,
II didn't know that. Here I've been
stamping Oh her ball every time it

Facts Given BY the Wisconsin

Carelessness is no respector of
persons; it's victims are among the
young and the aged, men and women
rich and poor, as shown by recent
news items.
Theodore Calkins was the tenth
oil can explosion victim of the year
at Beloit. He was pouring oil from
a can into blow torch. Most of the
! other Beloit victims poured coal oil
on a sluggish fire.
Herbert Smith of Beloit lighted a
match to find out whether his auto
tank needed filling. Another auto
took him to a hospital.
An automobile of L. Schlueter of
GAINESVILLE caught fire when the driv
er lighted a cigarette while the auto
tank was being filed. Running mo-
tors during the filling process has
caused few fires.
Fred Breed Of Embarass heated
turpentine on a stove. The turpen-
tine caught fire and burned Mr..
Breed frightfully.

Milwaukee, poured kerosene on a

REDUCES
COST OF GOODS

There are some economists who say
that advertising is one cause for the in
lcreaSed cost of goods.
This is not true, says the st. Paul
News
Advertising actually reduces the cost
lof goods
To dispense with advertising i'm order
10 reduce cost of goods would be like
going back to the floor and fail in
threshing in order to reduce the cost of
grain.
Advertising is the time and effort
saving device i'm the sale of goods iu.t
as power and machinery are i'm the pro
duction of goods.
All goods. including new and nm
known goods. would sell themselves If
given time enOugh-one satisfied custo-
mer might tell another
| But time is an important factor In
the cost of goods, carrying charges i'm
the way OF interest and rent from the
time of production To final sale.
The speed with which goods are sold
determines their price and i'm another
larger way than reducing the carrying
charges
The faster stock Of goods is sold
the smaller; the lower the margin
of profit the manufacturer or mer.
chant is compelled to charge the
consumer
The profit from doing business is not
I'm the large profit on each sale. but
rather the number of profits from MANY
sales.
Many small profits from each sale
make one large profit.
This principle il technically known
as turn over" and is the number Of
times merchant sells his comnleta
stock in n year-turns the stock into
money.
Say. for instance candy store
makes per cent net profit only on n
dollar OF sales
But say il turns" sells the stock
completely once week. - times a year
Is not this merchant making 30 times 4 |
per cent, equaling POS per cent annual |
profit?
IL seems paradOxical that a customer |
should pay only half cent profit ON 10 |
cents worth of candy TO enable the NOR
chant to make POS per cent. but in win |
be understood in considering the fact |
that the investment il i'm one weeks
supply only.
Both the manufacturer and merchant /
used advertising TO speed the sale of |
goods-to increase the turnover
III they are able to sell at less individ-
uai profit they are thus able to reduce
the price-and to increase the market
by making the goods within the price
range of more persons.
Advertising is the speed lever tho
high gear of sales
1t is not only on educational factor
TO more and better goods. but to a lower
price for the consumer by enabling the
producer and merchant to live and Il
prosper at lower margin of individ- II
