CHROMIUM IS
PROVING HIT
First Used In Autos
By Oldsmobile In
March of 1927

introduced less than two years
ago to the automotiye industry,
chromium plating has won almost
universal use through its qualities Of
enduring wear and lasting brilliancy.
This new plating, together with
their mechanical perfection in long
wearing qualities.
Chromium plating was first used
on automobiles when it was intro
duced on 0ldsmobile in March, 1927.
Since that time it has been adopted
by most of the new automobiles and
its use has enabled designers to add
new touches of brightness to cars
with the assurance that their work
would not later be spailed by rust or
%corrosion.
Chromium is a white metal of ex-
IRENE hardness. For years its only
use was as an alloy Of steel, giving
added strength to that metal. During
the last century its possibilities as a
plating metal were discovered and a
method was developed for It's use.
This method, however, was most i'm
practicable for manufacturing oper-
atoms and for years the idea of using
chromium for plating purposes lay
dormant.
With the development of the auto
mobile came a need for a plating
more lasting than nickel. Chemists
and engineers of General Motors cor
poration and Oldsmobile. after vari-
Gus experiments, turned 10 chromium
and worked for months before a COM
mercially successful method was dis
covered to apply this hard, non-tar-
nishing metal a. a plating.
Radiator shells. head lamps, bum
pers and the other ornamental parts
which now are plated are given the
same preparatory treatment for
chromium as for nickel plating under
the Oldsmobile- General Motors meth
cd. The part first is smoothed on
emery wheels and thoroughly cleaned
after which il is given n copper plat
ing. This is followed by buffing and
cleaning operations. The part is then
given a nickel plating bath after
which il is again buffed and cleaned.
Up to this point the procedure is the
same as in nickel plating.
The next step is the chromium
bath in which chromium salts are
deposited by electric current in a
smooth film over the part being
plated. A final r%insing and the oper-
alton is completed. No b%uffing or
polishing is required As the plated
surface is so hard that a polishing
wheel would have no effect.
The chromium plating has about
the same hardness as a sapphire,
therefore. is wear resisting TO an ex-
IRENE degree. 1t is not subject 10

ARCHAIC PROVISIONS
(The Dallas News.


When County Chairman Murrell Buckner an
nouncsd the other day that precinct conventions will
be held May 5 at which delegates will be elected TO
the county conventions May 8, and that in the latter
delegates to the State convention Of the Democratic
party May Is will be elected, be was outlining the
program that will be followed. but il is q process that
is not authorized by the Terrell Election Law. The
statutes will be searched in vain for any authority to
select the delegates TO the State convention in the
county conventions. J.
Upon the contrary, the law does provide that the
delegates to the State convention shall be elected at
the precinct conventions. II then goes on to set up the
machinery for the county conventions. which, so far
as the law is concerned, seem to have no definite pur-
pose. In actual practice the system of electing the
State delegates in the county conventions has proven
practicable. But. for some reason, a law that requires
amending has been permitted to 80 on for twenty
three years prescribing a method Of election that is
not observed.
In the 1924 presidential campaign in Texas another
provision Of the Jaw was disregarded, this one on which
a ruling had been made. Since the terms Of the cleo
tion law in this State by language and description
clearly designate the Democratic party rs one whcih
clearly designate the Democratic party as one which

Dental and vice presidential electors are officers.
these men can not be legally nominated by the State
convention. Up to 1924 the names were submitted on
the primary ballot, but in that year the State con-
vention proceeded to elect them. OF course the appli-
cation of the primary law to these electors is a costly
absurdity, but il is nevertheless the provision of the
statute.
Both of the archaic provisions should be eliminated
Ny proper legislation. The mere dishonor in the
Breach does not provide legality. 4

The World and All
By Charles p. Driscoll

william Ellery Leonard has lived a aIost unhappy
life, if one may judge By his writings in prose and
verse. lie is a learned man. He has taught the cul-
ture Of ancient Greece to students in a great university.
Ills writings have been well received by people of in
tellieence for a good many years. But he's unhappy.
Mr.. Leonard has written much about his u%nhappi-
ness. He blames for most OF his troubles two incidents
that happened to him in childhood.
When hsm1 three years old, he was frightened by
a locomotive. When he was eight years old. he was
chased home from school by r~oughneck boys.
In later life. Mr.. Leonard was afflicted with wha:
the doctors call phobias. He was afraid to 90 outdoors
alone, and he was afraid Of crowds and of rushing
machinery. He spent years curing himself Of these
phobias By seeking out the cause of them. He is no
mean psychologist. He traced his foolish fears back
to the locomotive that scared him when he was a baby
and to the boys who chased aim home from school.
Now. / do not know how far to 60 along with Mr..
Leonard. It may be that he has the correct informa-
tion and has proceeded along the right lines. 1t may
be that a nervous, feraful and norose manhood may
be traced to a couple Of frightful childhood expe-
riences. Mr.. Leonard talks as though he had the as
sursnce Of science.
But ! would like to ~interpose an amaturish question.
Was there ever a boy who wasn't frightened by a To-
connective in babyhood and chased home from school in
I~boyhood? Was there ever a child who didn't suffer
the assaults Of unressoning fear and hysterical fright?
And why do not all boys grow up TO have phobias and
live unhappy lives!
At the age q ABOUT three 4 was fsrlghtened out
Of my wits by q hearse that came 70 our Kansas farm
to take away my dead brother. The weeping Of my
mother and father scared me 50 badly that ! refused
to attend the funeral. and played all day on a pile Of
rocks, refusing to enter the house where the body had
lain.
Now. / have been troubled by dreams about hearses
and funerals all my life, but fer some reason this psy-
Geological bruise didn't produce any phogias.
Again, about the age Of nine. | was chased by a
balloon a distance of half a mile, and collapsed from
fright. ] picked myself up. caught my breath. and ran
another quarter Of a mile, after the balloon had landed
in a pasture. a few yards from me. ] am still troubled
by dreams about falling airplanes and such Things. and
these dreams may or may not have something to do
with the boyhood fright. Doubtless we all carry some
psychological scars Of childhood frights, but most Of
Us never stop to worry about them.

ORGANIZATION is rapidly eliminating waste in all ae-
tivities and industries in the United States. The move
ment toward huge combines of capital in the indus
trial fields. the organization of scientific and profess
sional men. and also organization of labor have each
attained far-reaching results in this direction.
Under the old. unorganized system it was not the
policy Of industries to advise less waste in the use Of
their products. Today those industries, well organ
ICED, have research departments whose duty it is to as
certain how the public can use less of their products
to secure the same results. Medical societies are des-
seminating information relative to improving health
conditions and are extending their aid to state and
civic boards OF health. and scientists are organized for
the purpose Of aiding. by their collective knowledge,
to improve conditions for the existence OF humanity.
Indicative Of the modern trend toward eliminating
waste was the recent development by the Portland &C.
ment Association Of the cement-water ratio law in the
mixture Of concrete, which has resulted in a saving Of
approximately 20 per cent Of the amount Of cement
used. Hundreds Of thousands of dollars were expend-
ed by the association in research work and experiments
before the law governing the mixing Of concrete was
accurately ascertained. The result Of this discovery
has been a tremendous saving in the cost Of concre.s
highways and in the construction Of concrete struc-
lures. Cameron county alone will save over 100000
on the ~S6.OO0.O00 concrete road program now under
way. as a direct result Of the research work undertaken
by the cement corporation.
Ordinarily II would be considered poor business for
any individual or corporation 20 spend money in an
effort to ascertain how the public may use less Of a
certain product in order to secure the same results.
However. the demand for cement has shown a steady
increase since the discovery of the cement-watr ratio
law. The saving effected has resulted in many states
and counties abandoning gravel or other paving pro-
grams and adopting concrete highways. Thousands Of
huge structures are now being constructed Of concrete
as a result Of the material saving. and the demand for
the product Of the corporation has surpassed all pre-
v:ous records. It Is true they will sell approximately
20 per cent less concrete to construct a certain high
way mileage. but the mileage of concrete highway will
he doubled and trebled as a direct result Of this saving,
and the profits which will accrue TO the corporation
will be far greater.
The manufac urers Of electrical supplies, refiners
Of gasoline. manufacturers Of automobiles-in fact, all
lines Of industry are now endeavoring to attain high
standards Of quality or through research and expert
nent to establish means whereby their products will
last longer and therefore be cheaper to the consumer.
They realize that te best way to promotes sales is to
eliminate waste. and as q result Of their efforts in this

ECONOMIC RECOVERY SINCE WAR OUTLINED
BY OGDEN L. MILLS
Undersecretary Of the Treasury.

Undersecretary Of the Treasury.
Ogden L. Mills. undersecretary Of the treasury,
was born in Newport. r. l., in 1854. He was grad
uated from Harvard university in 1904. Mills was
admitted to the New York bar in 1908, and prac-
ticed law in New York City. He was elected a
member Of the state senate in 19l4-16, and served
as a member Of the fifth congress from New York
state ~1s21-1923. In addition to his political activ-
tiles he was connected with various commercial
interests n New York City,.
The world has definitely emerged from the world
war chaos. The last three years have witnessed a
steady march forward. In the field of public finance
the pace has. indeed, been rapid. Budgets have been
balanced. currencies have become stabilized, and the
wide fluctuations in foreign exchange, which furnish
ed such a terrible impeachment to world commerce and
the Interchange Of goods, have in q great measure
been ironed out.
The world went to school and re-learned many a
lesson in political economy. But the world also went
back to work. The w~reckage was cleared away. Pro-
ductive enterprise was resumed. Progress was at first
painfully slow. At times the obstacles seemed insur-
mountable. Indeed, they were m~agnified, since they
held the center of the stage, obvious to all, while the
silent work Of reconstruction went on behind the
scenes
While statesmen struggled to solve the grave prob
lens Of public finance. and economic argument ragged,
millions whose immediate problem is their daily bread,
toiled and again began TO save. Free from political
controversy and publicity. everywhere the business
men Of the world. working individually, and through

brains and experience to the common task.
In tn meanwhile the production Of major agricul-
tural. mineral. and manufactured products Of the
world as q whole, and in a great majority Of the in
