with him as his assistant. His sal- ary now was 33.000 q year. Later on Pierre du Pont became president of the company. He made Raskob treasurer.
 Raskob continued in this job. In 1918 came 8 turn of fortune that was to be of vast importance. The General Motors corporation. then more or less in its infancy. was rec commended to him by friend as good buy" Raskob looked into 1t and agreed. He bought some stock and persuaded Pierre du Pont to buy more. Between them they got 5000 shares
 Two years passed. In 1915 came der which the corporation had been operating, and bankers and stock holders got together to reorganize. Then a surprising thing happened. It was found that the 157.000 shares of stock represented at the meeting were evenly divided among two op- posing factions. The 5000 shares held hy Raskob and du Pont, all that remained outsta anding, was the bal ance of power.
 Enter General Motors
 Raskob and du Pont were notified. They went to the meeting. and at Rasbok's suggestion reached a com- promise whereby each of the two original factions was to name seven men for the board of directors with Raskob and du Pont naming theree. 1 Raskob became a director and du Pont was elected chairman of the board
 Thus did Raskob and the du Fonts enter General Motors.
 After the war they got in deeper. Wartime prosperity had rolled up an enormous surplus for the du Pont de Nemours company. It had to be invested somewhere. Raskob persuaded the directors to buy Gen. eral Motors stock. They agreed, buying $25.O00.0O in one block and an equal amount a little later. A year or so later they bought a third block of equal size. thus getting for the du Pont company ownership of 40 to 45 per cent of the corporation. Since that time. is is worth noting. the du Pont company has received in dividends far more than the $75,- 00o.000 1t invested. while the mark ct value of the stock is many times the original figure.
 General Motors is Raskob's pride and joy. He likes to tell of it's pro. sress and of the progress of the men who have been associated with 1t.
 Made 30 Millionaircs
 ''They say Carnegie made 30 mill lionaires over period Of years" he once said. "Well, we made so mil. lionaires in General Motors. In 1928 we induced so of our senior and junior executives to go into debt tc buy General Motors stock. We go, them to pledge themselves to buy $33, 3,0n0.oo0 worth. That stock 1. worth s25o,ooo, 1000 today. All ob. ligations have been paid and ever, one Of those men. even the junior, who put in only 325,ooo apiece, art millionaires."

New York. July 20.-The upstate city Of Lockport is quite long way from Manhattan. Yet if the bands in Washington next March are playing Manhattan's national an- them. which is q song dealing with sidewalks and Mamie O'Rourke. I.ockport will be able to claim a large share of the credit.
 For I.ockport's most distinguished son, John J. RaskOb. who as on" of the leaders in the General Motors Corporation helped make so mil- lionaires between 1923 and 1927, is going to manage the presidential campaign of Gov. Alfred E. Smith, as chairman of the democratic na- tional committee.
 Raskob is new to politics. As chairman of tn. finance committee or General Moor. he has not Lad much time for such things. Now. however, because ot his close fr.end- ship with New York's governor coupled. perhaps, with the facs that he shares the governors views on the prohibition lar'-he is making the plunge. Waa street as wei. a' I.ockport, is willing to admit that he probably will .lo good job.
 Began As Poor Boy
 It seems impossible to describe any of the figures in this presidential campaign, in either party. without ringing in the old success story" motif-the story Q: the poor lad who made hts own way to the top Hoover, Smith. Curtis and Robinson all have biographies of this type; so has Raskob.
 Raskob was born in lockport .n 1879. The story opens when he was a boy of 20. working as clerk n q pump company there for $7.5o a week. and helping support hts mother. younger brother and two sisters. Like the man whose cam paign he is now directing, he was fatherless.
 Raakob wanted more money; $75o didn't 10 far. even in those days. He asked for $l0 ! week. It was refused.
 A friend had recently moved to Lorain. O.. and Raskob wrote him asking if there were any jobs out there. The friend replied that one P. .. du Pont, head of a street rail- way company in Lorain. was looking for . secretary. Raskob wrote du Pont and asked for the job. Taking Ills courage in his hands. he said that he would expect to be paid 1l.o0o . year. .-.
 He mentioned this to his friend. in I.ockport and they agreed ht was daft One thousand dollars 6 year for . boy of 20! It was ab suPd.
 Joins With Du Fonts
 But-in the tradition of success stories-Raskob got the job. H. went to l.orain and found that tn P. .. du Pont was Pierre du Pont scion of the famous du Pont famii of Delaware.
 In 1902, two or three years later Pierre du Pont and his two cousins Alfred and Coleman. acquired th great F., !. du Pont de Nemours Go which had been making explosive since the Revolutionary war. Pierr went. to Wilmington. Del. to becom treasurer, and Raskob went alon

NEW AIR MOTORS
 GIVEN HARD TESTS
Bureau of Standards Doing Best
 to Make Flying Safe

Washington, July 20 R-Making the air safe for civilians-at least to the extent of assuring adequate power plants for commercial air. craft-is becoming an increasingly important function of the Bureau of Standards.
 To meet the requirements placed upon it by the recent rapid expan- sion of commercial and private aVia- tion, it's laboratory equipment for testing motors is being increased and the need for further additions already Is foreseen.
 Under the air regulations Of the Department of Commerce all planes permitted to engage in interstate commerce must contain power plants certified as airworthy by the director of commercial aeronautics, and it is the bureaus duty to make the tests on which he bases his rating and approval.
 For many years the engines used in commercial planes were those designed and built for military pur- poses. They were known to meet requirements. having been tested by the army and navy. but with the tn- crease in demand many motors are being built primarily for use in non- military craft and each new type must pass the bureaus tests.
 Every motor submitted for the bureaus examination must be ac- companied by a log showing its per- formance during preliminary run of at least 25 hours. If that Is sat- isfactory it is put through a 50-hour endurance test by the bureaus ex- pcrts. This test is run in ten 5-hour periods to determine the power de- veloped at speeds ranging from 75 to no per cent of normal. The de- partmcnt's requirements also call for an actual service test of the en- zine installed in a plane.
 Sound design. adequate materials, good workmanship and reliable Cp'- formance of the engine and its ac- cessorics are demanded. and each engine Is considered on its own merits, there being no standard re- quirements relating to weight, fuel consumption or oil consumption per horsepower.
 Although the testing of commer- cial airplane engines Is relatively recent undertaking of the bureag. it's automotive section has been | studyinp the performance of such power plants for more than ten years. Most fthat work. however, was done with watcr-cooled motors, whereas all the new types thus far submitted for the commercial aviation tests have been air-cooled presenting a number of quite differ. ent problems. ,...

proved by the institute, we recon-.

5. Do not expect the cIAanAr IN
work indefinitely without some
Servicing. Parts wear out. such as
the carbon brushes which conduct
the motor. This is usually indicated
by sparkling. Expect to paw for
servicing as part OF the operating
cost.
6. In disconnecting the cleaner,
grasp the plug itself and not the
cord, and the cord will give longer
service.
z. When through using cleaner,
wind the connecting cord carefully
around tho cleats provided.
8. The bag of the cleaner holds
the dirt that is carried by the cur
rent of air up through the nozzle.
This air must find way out, so the
bag should never become clogged
with dirt, or the very necessary cir
culation Of the air is impeded.
Empty the bag after using on a
newspaper spread on the floor and
clean 10 following the manufac-
turers's directions. A new bag every
year will add to the efficiency of the
