IN March, 1923, the Palais Royal, well known in
Washington for 46 years, became of the units
of great organization which marked Mr.. Kresges
entrance into the Department Store field
Since 1877, when the Palais Royal occupied
small room on Pennsylvania Avenue, until the pres
ent time it has successfully catered to the needs of
the people of Washington and vicinity and it is Mr.
Kresges desire not only to keep the thousands of Gus
toners who have been it's patrons for many years,
but to make the Palas Royal store of greater bene
fit to the communty-a store in which the people of
Washington may feel a real pride-a store in which
they themselves have real interest, in the knowl
edge that it is being run for their best interests
<<<<%%>>>><>
u EAR in mind the following facts:
II The world has known Mr.. Kresge man
possessing more than ordinary business ability
It has recognized in him man who has accurately
interpreted the needs of the American people, and
who has satisfied their needs with his present highly
efficient chain Of 5, TO- 25c and 81 Stores.
This knowledge of what people want has made Mr..
Kresge very successful merchant.
If we anayze the underlying reasons for the
cess of his stores will find that they conceived
on the premise that people desire economy in pur-
chasing
And if we reason further along these lines will
realize that people spend but small proportion of
their money in the and 10c Stores and many mil
lions of dollars in the great Department Stores.
Does not economy in operation, in selling and in
buying play it's part here, too?
Of course!
p ECENTLY great merchant said to Mr.. Kresge:
IN What kind of store you going to
in Washington?'
He replied:
II am going to try to make it one of the countrys
best stores" IL,
There you have the only answer that in all SINGER
ity it was possible for Mr.. Kresge to make. He is
going to try to make the Palais Royal Of the
country's best stores
Mr.. Kresge has always kept himself very much
in the background. His IDEALS his business princi-
pies, his fundamental operating policies reflect

successful business career.
Mr.. Kresges principles of doing business are not
cheap He has no patience with anything that
smacks of tawdriness He will not tolerate the pur-
chase of any merchandise that is of poor quality no
matter what it's price.
He does believe and has reiterated again and
again that people are entitled to the best merchan-
disc at the fairest prices.
But he frowns upon the overlooking of business
with nonproductive overhead which adds to the cost
of merchandise and eventually comes out of the
sumer's pocket.
Mr. Kresge, taking leaf from his vast expert
in the operation of chain Stores believes that
Department Store chain can be operated more eco
nomicaly-and that many of the fris and furbeows
can be elimnated-thus cutting the cost of doing
business and passing on to the customer the net re-
suit in still louUer prices.
That is commendable policy.
~~eea~<>e~~>
= UT more than ths-Mr Kresge believes that the
II very foundation of successful business must be
built around the happiness, the good WILL and the well
being of the workers in that business-the people
who associated with him in this big undertaking.
And nothing will be left undone to attain this end
Comfortable rest rooms, a social center-and other
plans are under way, and the payment to saespeople
of percentage of their sales has already been estab
lished. .~s
Perhaps a better understanding of Mr.. Kresges
ideas of the duty of the Paas Royal to its customers
and the people of Washington may be CLEANED from
a recent enclosure sent to each Of its employees as
follows
Evening star., 1925-09-19
Always Be Courteous

COURTESY, helpfulness and real service to Gus
- mers coupled with good quality and reasonable
prices, is the foundation upon which Mr. Kresge is
building the business of the Palais Royal and his
other Department Stores. 1t is policy which can
not fail to be appreciated, and which can not fail
Mr. Kresge has already purchased two other
stores-The Fair, in Chicago, and L. S. Plaut & Co.,
in Newark.
Combined buying Offices have been established in
New York, and the resources of the present three
stores, and others to be added will be employed in
the selection and purchase of merchandise to be Of
fered the public at prices that will actually mean
economy.
The joint operating forces of all the stores will use
their experience in regard to policies and standards
of business practice and the net result will unqles
tionaby mean stores operated upon most efficient
basis-both regards service and merchandising.
And if you knew Mr.. Kresge as we who have
worked with him know him, you would know that
nothing will sway him from his purpose
And if high ideals, correct merchandising methods
fair dealing, and courteous service count for any
thing at ALL the Palais Royal will continue to merit
your good will, your confidence and your patronage

same conspirator star which had un-
dertaken to steal the souvenir from
the sun, or some other star, prepa red
to steal from the earth, if not purloin
the entire earth from its solar orbit.
1t united forces and pulled by COM
bined gravitation until it not only
made a tremendous tidal wave in the
oceans, but even distorted the round
and rock-ribbed earth inclosing the
great iron ball like a thick peeling.
The gravitation from the star, added
to that of the sun, pulled so nightly
that 1t actually tore loose a vast piece
of the earth's crust, including whole
mountain ranges and pratries,
scooping out a hollow into which
rushed a mightier flood than even
Noah saw
What shaking Of the earth! What
thunder and roar of many watersi
lapse of strata! What a splintering of
the earth's crust!
The starry gravitation flung the
mass Of rocks, mountains and plains
out into space, but before it had fallen
clear away the gravitative arms of
the earth reached out-just as had the
gravitation of the sun after its lost
gaseous ring.
The earth seized the loot of the rob.
Der star and would have brought 1t
back to fill the ocean bed, which de-
veloped from the scar of the starry
wound and which today is our Pacific
Ocean.
But by this time the stolen mass
had begun whirling around the earth
at a distance of 100000 miles from
center to center. There the mass has
been swinging ever since, always with
Al per cent showing toward the earth,
Al per cent never seen and u per
Evening star., 1925-09-13

cent oscillating, so that it is some
times visible and sometimes not.
That is the moon. When 1t first tore
loose from the earth it was a form
less mass. but it's own gravitation or
isostacy has smoothed and shaped 1t
into a perfectly round ball, illuminated
at all times by the sun, although
sometimes the lighted part is on the
side not seen by the earth, and the
illumination crawls around to our side
and gradually spreads over the earth
ward part and on around toward the
other side every 27L days and nights.
The moon has no atmosphere or any
moisture, hence no animal or vege-
table life. The Man in the Moon Is a
humbug, but not more SO than the
beautiful Lady in the Moon. whose
fair profile, once identified, is more
distinct than is the cynical Man. All
the dark spots are really shadows of
mountains and valleys, perhaps as out
standing as many of our own eternal
hills
One of the wonderful mysteries of
the universe is the fine balancing of
forces-the counterbalancing of gravi-
tation Of the sun and of the earth
upon the moon, the counterbalancing
of gravitation with centrifugal forces
of the whirling masses. The mechan-
les of the heavens are beyond the
comprehension of man.
And God made the two great lights;
the greater light to rule the day and
the lesser light to rule the night; He
made the stars Also

metal or stone, more than per cent
instead of 33 per cent. DR.. Adams
and his associates are devoting much
time to testing the compressibility o<
various metals and rocks. 1t is con-
cluded that within the iron ball must
be masses heavier and harder than
iron. Pure irons specific gravity is
7.84 and nickel iron 13. There is dia.
mond, which is the most uncompress-
ible substance known.
What a chance to dream of a dia-
mond center, hundreds of miles in
diameter, set In a pendant. with gold
or platinum ornamentation. Gold
weighs 1873 times water. platinum 81. 5
heavier and osmium 22.5 heavier
What gang of safe robbers will
blast that treasury and what would
happen if they succeeded in bringing
up the loot? No market could absorb
the oversupply, hence all values would
be destroyed for all gold and jewels in
the world.
Dr. Washington Of the Geophysical
Laboratory contended for many years
that the weight of the world made it
certain that the core must be of solid
gold which is nearly twice as heavy
as iron, but now he is willing to
modify his gold standard"
A FTER convection OF the solar
Z gas had continued about 10000
years, all the gas had solidified, and
the solid earth was only about 5000
miles in diameter, in place of the mil
lions of miles diameter of the original
gas.
Thus was formed the earth, solid in
the center, entirely covered with wa
ter, boiling hot, and, above the water,
impenetrable clouds of steam.
"And darkness was upon the face of
the deep" and the vapor of the boil
ing oceans hid the sun and stars, un-
til, through radiation of the heat into
space, the oceans cooled.
"And God divided the light from the
darkness clouds rolled back
"and God called the light day, and
the darkness He called night" And
God said. Let the waters under the
heaven be gathered together into one
place. and the dry land appeared, and
it was So"
At some time in the process Of the
solidifying of the earth, either the

HY Ydrau1sn fsess for testing stones and metals

tions of the earth, called isostasy, was
not recognized even by foremost
scientists a decade ago, yet nobody
now questions its accuracy.
Science has actually weighed the
world. DR.. D. r. Heyl. at the United
States Bureau of Standards, within a
stones throw Of the Geophysical Lab
oratory, is weighing the globe with
greater accuracy than jeweler
weighs a diamond.
1t has been said that if we could
conceive of a hole straight through
the earth, passing through the CEN
ter, and we should drop a weight-say
a ton-down that hole, it would lose
it's weight steadily as it fell, until
force Of gravity pulling toward China
would counterbalance the gravity
pulling back to America, so that the
ton would weigh nothing. Prior to
stopping, it would oscillate between
China and America until retarded and
at last stopped by friction Of the at
mosphere.
1t is a familiar fact that the diam
eter of the earth at the Equator is
greater than it is at the ''fattened
poles" owing to the centrifu-
gal force of the earth's revolv-
ing on it's axis. Centrifugal force
operates on all matter as well as upon
the earth, SO that a ton of iron at
the Equator, at sea level, If taken to
the North Pole would be found to
weigh 10 pounds more than 1t does
at the Equator, not because there is
less specific gravity in the earth under
it at the pole, but because at the pole
there is no centrifugal force tending
to counterbalance gravity.
Centrifugal force varies, increasing
toward the Equator, and increasing
upon the peaks OF high mountains, as
compared with sea level. Like the
cracker" in the childish game of
crack the whip" the longer the radius
of the whirl the greater is the force
tending to drive the cracker" out into
space. In the earth the force of
gravital attraction is thus neutralized
by the centrifugal force. A ton,
weighed at sea level would be so
pulled by centrifugality against it's
gravity that If taken to the top Of
Pixies Peak and weighed on spring
scales it would be found pounds
light.
WITH such counterbalancing of
gravity and centrifugality, how
can DIR. Heyl weigh the whole world?
1t is a simple process and very ac-
curate.
There is a horizontal pendulum, ex-
tremely delicate in balance, and SEN
sitive, which constitutes the scales.
On each end of the horizontally bal
anced and swaying arm is one ounce
of gold-or sometimes platinum in
stead Of gold. When that pendulum
swings at a distance of one inch be-
tween the gold and lao pounds Of
steel, the mutual attraction of the
metals pulls the pendulum ever so
slightly, so that the gold and steel
tend to approach together. The force
Of that attraction is less than the
weight of grain of fine dust floating
Evening star., 1925-09-13

in the air, but that force Is meas
ured with inconceivable exactness.
Knowing the weight Of the gold and
the steel and the attractive force
otherwise called gravitation-between
those two masses of metals, it becomes
merely a matter of the equation Of
four. with the X representing the
weight Of the earth. The difference
between the weights Of the gold and
or gravity as the difference between
the size Of the steel and the size Of
the earth is to x. x Is the result
sought-the weight of the world
The size of the world is known
very exactly by reason of many sur
veys.
The result of that calculation shows
that the earth is five and half times
as heavy as it would be If it were all
water, not only on the surface, but
clear through to the core. Hence there
must be parts so much heavier than
water, and heavier than the average
Of the whole earth, as to make up the
average weight.
That part Of the interior deep below
the surface, 900 or 1000 miles down
is supporting all that is above it. 1t
is calculated that every square inch,
half way down, toward the center,
bears a pressure of what is above it
amounting to more than 5000, 900 at
mospheres. AS the atmospheric
weight upon each square inch at sea
level amounts to Is pounds, so square
inch 1000 miles down must be bear
ing a weight or pressure amounting
to $4,000. 900 pounds, apd at the center
Of the earth, In order to have the
weight necessary to make the whole
earth weigh five and a half times
water, it will be necessary to COM
press metals to only about two-thirds
their bulk to make their weight, in
proportion to volume, sufficient, on
the assumption that the whole core
half the diameter Of the earth-is solid
nickel iron.
How much nickel iron might squeeze
and compress under a weight of 45,-
600, 900 pounds, or double that weight,
to the inch cannot be demonstrated.
The Geophysical Laboratory has a
press capable Of putting on a pressure
of 100000 pounds to the inch, but that
cannot condense iron, or any, other
Evening star., 1925-09-13

cific weight Of 2, or If N equal volume
weighs three times that of water it's
specific value Is 8. This is one of the
simplest but most important facts to
keep IN mind in considering what
finally accumulated in the core of that
ball of gas and became the center of
our earth.
In our childhood days we were told
that hell was inside of our hollow"
earth, and, in infantile t "or, we
feared to dig a few inches down, lest
the devil might come out. An Amer
lean philosopher" named Symmes,
created some interest half a century
| ago by imagining that the hollow"
earth could be entered through a great
mythical hole located near the North
Pole, perhaps in that region which
has never yet been explored and
which the Macmillan expedition this
Summer has sought to penetrate.
Synmes declared that there were mil
lions of people inside the earth, who
knew no sky but the arching shell of
the hollow" mundane sphere. But
"Symmes' Hole" as it was known
threescore years ago, has been for
gotten, and Jules Verne's "Trip to
the Center of the World has lost in
terest since four American aviators
made trip around the earth above
the clouds, far more exciting and ro-
mantfc-and true.
SCIENCE now takes the place of
~ superstition and fancy. 1t tells
us that, far from being hollow, the
center of the earth is composed of a
solid nickel-iron ball, some 4 900 miles
in diameter, in which are imbedded
nuggets or strata of still denser, harder
substances, including huge diamonds
"of purest ray serene" The scientists
tell us that the whole earth weighs
five and one-half times as much as 1t
would weigh If it were nothing but
water.
In very recent years science has
discovered that under every square
mile, all over the surface of the world,
the column extending down to the
very center exactly balances every
other column of equal superficial di-
mension; or If it be made heavier, it
will sink toward the center of the
earth, pushing upward an equal
weight outside itself, until the whole
rests in equilibrium.
For example: If a great river de-
posts in it's delta the washings from
the upland-from mountaineering
weight of the mountains is lessened
and the weight of the delta Is in
creased; but gravitation or 'isostasy"
equalizes that break in the equtlt-
brium by drawing down the heavier
delta and elevating the eternal hills"
until they regain their equal balance.
So the process Of rounding the earth
is continuous even today, and no part
of the work of creation is ever COM
pleted.
The differences in elevation of the
highest peak and the deepest valley
In the ocean are small-less than 10
miles. This ball, with all its mountain
ranges, is as smooth as polished bill
lard ball, for sostasy is ever smooth
ing it's roughness. The science which
tells us Of the equilibrium Of all sec
