BURGLARS LOOT SAFE AND TAKE
 $50 IN MONEY Chisel Way Through Cement Wall and Break Open
 Strong Box NO SOUNDS NOTICED
 BY PEOPLE IN HOUSE Michael Frascotore. Retired Business Man Discovers
 Loss At 6 P. Nj.

Two or more burglars broke into the apartment of Michael t0- tore at p South Leonard street, chiseled and hammered their way through a two foot square safe, took $5l0 from the strong box and escaped without attracting the attention of any residents of the building between , ?. m. and 6:3O D. m., yesterday aft elnoon. Lieut. Chris Harmon of the detective bureau is working on the case.
 Use Victims Tools
 Tools used in the job belong to FraScatore, They include maChin- ist's hammer, a mason's hammer. scrcwdriver, q mason's chisel, . wood chi5el, two pains of pliers and an old spike. The safe weighing about 800 pounds had been turned over on its side on the cushion of an armchair. placed on the floor. From this posi- ton the safe breakers hammered and chiseled their way through the cement forming the bottom of the safe. When they reached the inner steel compartment holding the money they pounded it out of shape and broke off part of an iron frame holding the lock.
 Police believe that one man would be unable to handle the safe and turn it over alone. The condition of the tools used as well as the remains of the safe indicated the force used on the job. The scrcwdriver was bent. The handle of the wood chiscl had been broken of. The nose of the maSon's hammer showed that 1t had been buried in the cement of the safe. Part of the lock frame had been broken off With such forceful blow that it was found in the next room. The tools were left on the floor near the safe.
 No Sound Heard
 Lieut.. Harmon believes entrance was made through rear window. How all the pounding and tea ng which evidently occurred during the break could be done without arous- ing the occupants of the house re- mains mystery. Women living above and below the apartment Naorc frascatore lives alone said they had heard no unusual noise. Frascatqrc, a retired business man, discovered the break when he returned home at GEO o'clock after being absent from 3 o'clock in the afternoon. - Reprint from Waterbury Republiccn. Marcll 10, I927.

Ourselves and Industry
Why Business Must Earn a Profit
By E. E. Lincoln.

If you were looking for a job and
had chance to take position with
two companies, one of which was
making fair profit while the other
was barely able to make both ends
meet, it is not hard to guess which
job you would take.
You would prefer the company
which was making money. You would
feel safer working for concern like
that than for one likely to shut down
its plant and perhaps go out of bust.
ness entirely on the approach of hard
times. And SO would everybody else.
Moreover, the company that is pros
pering will usually have the best of
everything-the most comfortable and
sanitary building, the latest safety de-
vices, the best foremen. All this will
be in strong contrast with the condi-
tions in the Shops of a concern that
is losing money.
Did you ever take trip over a
railroad that was having a hard strug
gle to keep going? Not only are its
cars dilapidated and its roadbed full
of bumps, but its employees them
selves appear shabby and dispirited
and look as if they want to apologize
for being there. Then, note the diff
ference when you take trip over
one of the more prosperous roads.
The two roads probably pay the same
scale of wages, but the employees
seem to be getting along best on the
system that is earning a profit.
But profits affect not only the well
fare of employer and employee; they
are necessary to both the present and
the future we1l-being of every civil
lied country. When we say that a
business is earning profit we mean
that it has surplus on hand after
meeting all it's running expenses. 1t
is only by the accumulation of such
surplus by its producers that
nation becomes wealthy.
If the people of America had al
ways consumed as much as they pro-
duce they would be living today very
much as the Indians did when the
first white settlers came to this
country. 1t is this ability to produce
surplus above our immediate needs
that has made Our modern civilization
possible.
Now the Individual who consumes
as much as he produces adds nothing
to the well-being of his community,
and the world is no better off for his
having been in it.
And what is true of one Individual
is true of large number banded
together as a corporation. A large
part of modern business is carried on
by such organizations In order to
produce they must have capital, and
this is to be had only because past

The mica and shellac are mixed

production has exceeded past con-
sumption, or because the community
has been accommodating surplus. But
if business in past years had not been
earning profit there would be no
such surplus. Business then would
cease to grow, and it must grow in
order to take care of the needs of
the growing population, or people
hereafter must give up some of the
comforts which we now enjoy.
We now get the idea. Business
must earn enough not only to provide
for its day-to-day needs, but to pro-
vide for its future growth and inn
provement. 1t can't do this if it IS
living on a hand-to-inouth basis. 1t
must earn something above ordinary
running expenses. IT must show a
profit.
But net profit is the amount of
money left to the Individual or to the
corporation after all agencies which
have contributed to production have
received their share. Materials must
be bought, wages and salaries must
be paid, rent must be provided for,
intereston capital must be taken care
of, and taxes must be turned over to
the government Then, if anything
remains, we have profit.
Within any competitive industry,
however, figures show that compare
lively few concerns make any sub
stantial profit and many are operated
at loss until they fail. At the
present time, also, those public utility
enterprises which enjoy local
monopoly granted by law, have their
rates so regulated by commissions
that their net earnings are limited
only to an amount which is sufficient
to provide fair return on the actual
investment and to take care of normal
depreciation
High profits" therefore, are on
the average rare in any stable indus
try. In less stable and speculative
enterprises a few may reap rich re-
wards, but many merely lose money.
Profits, then, are residual CLAIM
on production. They are the reward
of superior efficiency in management.
They result from the vision, courage,
organizing ability, energy and fore
sight of business men.
AS rule, the highest wages are
paid and the steadjest employment is
found in those concerns which make
the highest profts--which in turn re-
suit from greater efficiency.

New Spark Plugs
Save Repair Costs
Small Investment at Proper Time
Helps Make Larger outlay
Unnecessary.

Exhaustive tests by automotive en-
gineers prove that motor car owners
many times are compelled to spend
considerable money to have their en-
gines overhauled, and new parts put
in, to overcome operating difficulties
that could have been obviated had a
new set of spark plugs been installed
at the proper time.
More than 1000 tests reveal that a
complete new set of spark plugs at the
end of each 10000 miles of driving, or
at least once year, is actual dollars
and cents economy. These tests have
definitely shown that the saving in oil
and gasoline alone, with new spark
plugs, more than pays their cost with
in few months, in addition to insur-
ing greater general operating eff
cency
Motor car manufacturers, a few
years ago, boasted of the long life of
spark plugs. Today they are recon-
mending in their instruction books
that owners change their plugs regu
larly, even though spark plugs have
been vastly improved in recent years.
1t was formerly believed that a
spark plug was giving efficient serv-
ice so long as it continued to fire regu-
larly. The engineering tests supplied
overwhelming evidence that this was
incorrect. The greater stress on spark
plugs, caused by a combination of
poorer gasoline and higher compress
sion engines, saps their efficiency
rapidly
To secure full power from gasoline
it is vital that the gas mixture in the
cylinders be burned with tremendous
rapidity. New spark plugs provide a
sufficiently hot spark to accomplish
this, despite the poorer quality of
present day fuels. Old ones do not.
Under this tremendous stress the
electrodes become pitted. Carbon is
burned on to the insulator and the
shell. This causes a leakage of part
of the current supplied from the bat
terry, reducing the sparks intensity.
Full power is not extracted from the
gas mixture. Much good gasoline is
wasted by passing out the exhaust.
The longer the old spark plugs are
permitted to remain in the cylinders
the more vicious becomes the circle of
poorer combustion, crankcase dilution
and pitting of pistons and cylinder
walls.
That is why manufacturers recon-
mend that car owners install new
spark plugs at regular intervals. To
do so restores power and speed. In
less than a years. average running
there is distinct loss which impairs

Plastic surgery is receiving noto-
riety as one of the latest fads But
i'll the manufacture of telephones
the plastic art is not fad, nor is
it sensationally new development.
Many telephone parts, such as
receiver shells and caps, have for
many years been nodded from hard
rubber at the great telephone fac
tory of the Western Electric Com
pany in Chicago. The process is
striking one because of its efficiency
and its intimate relation - through
the telephone parts which are most
familiar to the public-to everyday
life.
The shell of the receiver which
you hold to your. ear was first a
dough of rubber and sulphur. Some
OF this dough was placed on each
side OF core in mold which was
then closed under pressure and the
dough vulcanized in steam into the
shape of receiver she'll During
this process, the rubber and sulphur
combined chemically to form hard"
rubber or vulcanite. Many finishing
operations to profile, grind, polish
and perfect the finish and dimen-
sions of the receiver were necessary.
In the making of other telephone
parts, a good grade of .vulcanized
hard rubber, ground to fine pow
der, is placed in mold which is
then heated under hydraulic
pressure to soften the rubber dust
and form the piece part. Use of
this powder makes it possible to
utilize great quantities of rubber
scrap which otherwise might be
wasted. The hard rubber undergoes
no chemical change but could be
ground up and used again for the
same purpose. The molds used are
so highly polished and accurate that
little grinding is required to finish
the part.
Rubber is .not-the.-on1y material
used by the plastic artists Of the
