other American concern. Previously,
the Singer Sewing Machine held first
place. and the Remington Typewriter
Co. second, according to Mr.. Rand.
The other three component concerns
IN the new merger also brought in
large foreign trade outlets.
L asked Mr.. Rand what philosophy
motivated HIM in the struggle for eX
pansion and mergers
I'm the last hundred years" Mr.
Rand said, as we chatted in the lobby
OF the Biltmore Hotel. 1.-The mechani
cal revolution has reduced the cost of
production by introducing 1abor-sav
ing machinery and more economical
methods. In the next 10 years, the
great changes will come in cutting
down the cost of office administration
and clerical overhead through the in
PRODUCTION Of labor-saving devices. Up
to the present, the office has been
neglected, but, in the new competition,
efforts will be made to effect savings
wherever possible.
Sees Active Competition.
There will be, as T view things,
extremely active competition among
meritorious products in the next 10
years. The chief opportunity to sue
coed during this period will be through
cutting down costs of distribution.
The merger of concerns, making allied
but non-competitive products. will en-
able us to effect substantial economies
in the cost OF operations.
'I believe that the stimulus from
the cooperation of the four separate
sales forces, which we have as
sembled, will increase the business of
our component units Is per cent dur
ing 1927. Each product will have a
separate salesman, but our statesmen
in different units will be able to in
terchange information. We shall eff
feet savings in housing our different
selling organizations under one roof
and through administrative economies.
1T is true that our sales of orig
inal equipment depend somewhat on
general business conditions, but in
order to stabilize our sales we are
aiming at two detectives. First, we
want to make our repeat sales of sup
plies constitute about half of our
total business. because such sales
keep up uninterrupted in good times
and bad. Furthermore. we hope to
attain stability through ultimately
making our foreign sales as large as
our domestic. You don't get depres-
sions at the same time all over the
world
THE future of Office equipment and
supply business lies in showing en-
ployes how they can get along on less

After reaching the farm yard
noticed auto headlights playing over
the roadside. Thinking that some
one might have located the wreck
of the plane I walked over to the
car. The occupants asked whether l
had heard an airplane crash and it
required some time to explain to
them that I had been plotting the
plane, and yet was searching for 1t
myself. I had to display the para
chute as evidence before they were
thoroughly convinced. The farmer
was sure, as were most others In
3-mile radius. that the ship had just
missed his house and crashed near
by. In fact, he could locate within
few rods the spot where he heard it
hit the ground, and we spent an un-
successful quarter hour hunting for

spiritual atm oSphere, to deepen the
consciousness of Gods presence. to
stimulate religious feeling. and to
give free expression to the adora-
ton and praise of the worshiper. For
The most part this kind Of ministry
is defeated through the prevailing
custom of giving the service a
homiletical aim. If this condition
is not to continue, instruction in
theological semnaries must be re-
vised in harmony with the tenets
and practices of modern educational
programs.
Much needs TO be done to make
the church familiar with its
hymnodic heritage. The facts indi-
cate that choir rehearsals fail at
this point; hymns are not interpret
ed IN terms of the experiences that
produced them. Consequently, there
is a great deal of singing which is
indifferently done and therefore
lacking in spiritual power More at
tention must be given by pastors,
crganlsts, and directors of Christian
education to the origin and history
of hymns and the minister of
music.
The church's salvation depends
upon the training which is given in
the church school, There the mira

part. however. there seems to be no
clearly defined vision of what is in
volved or who is to bear the respon-
sibility for training children and
youth in the worship of God. Open

many schools. and these are in

often sacrifice them for other and
seemingly more important duties.

PLEADS FOR WORLD

Daniel Chase Suggests Nations
Play The Game Squarely

A plea that national and interna-
tonal relations be placed on a
craftsmanship basis was made at a
dinner meeting OF the Lions club
at the Burritt hotel last evening by
Daniel Chase, executive secretary Of
the Sportsmanship Brotherhood.
Mr.. Chase, who had been in the
city for the past two days speaking
to students in the schools. spoke on
world wide craftsmanship. He said
il relationships across international
boundaries were placed on the same
basis as athletic games, prejudice
and misunderstanding would disap-
pear. He said in part:

ferring to the type of a man who
wears flashy clothes, speaks In a
loud tone and flashes roll when
ever he gets a chance-he's sport
all right but he's a tin horn sport.

done more to bring about friendship
with France than all the efforts of
Herrick and other ambassadors.

the fighting instinct will be subli-
mated by efforts to bring peace
throughout the world. Be a good
loser, but don't be an easy loser.

colleges today to win at any cost
Let's cheer for the good plays made

ThS new colorimeter was perfect

manufacturers of fabrics, particu-
larly in the delicate shades which
often deceived the eye. Color con-
troll also was of basic importance In
the making of inks, paints, dyes and
paper. it was said.
Not only does the new colorimeter
measure color accurately. but makes
a record by which 1t Is possible to
match that shade at any time. The
fact that the instrument records on
paper means that a color sample
can be examined in Cambridge. the

The instrument employs a fower-

illuminated by a special tungsten
filament lamp which gives an illum-
nation so times more intense than
full sunlight. Water filters are used
to prevent the light from setting fire
to the sample.
In making the measurement mag
