REV. MORENO breaches
ON ETERNAL CONFLICT

The eternal conflict between
good and evil with mems souls at
stake, was the subject of an illus
trated sermon at the Westside Mis-
sion Sunday night. The Rev. F. C..
Moreno used his own pictures as
illustrations, and no one in the
congregation, which packed the
church to capacity, went to sleep
during the service.
"I believe in calling a spade a
spade" said the Rev. Moreno. And
that is just what he did in his
sermon.

How Life Masks Are Made

fluid plaster was spread over his august countenance-a most unpleasant pro- cedure.
 One of the life masks of Washing. ton was made by the famous French sculptor Houdon, who was fetched to this country for that purpose by Ben jamin Franklin. While here, he made a mask of Franklin himself; and those two are represented by the Houdoa busts of the statesman and sage.
 Nowadays the process is much more skilfully performed and with com paratively little inconvenience to the subject. The latter is placed in a com fortable chair, half reclining, with his head thrown back on pillow. His face is then thoroughly greased and a silk thread is extended (stuck by the grease) from the middle of the top of the forehead to the throat.

''Stay On the Job-Work Hard''
 -Ketchaln's Recipe for Success

Lire 1t and learn it,
 Make tt your pOcatiOn--noi c UacafiOn, Make that ju5 grow bigger
 fad gro,c bigger ,cith tt.
 T tESE are the salient points in
 the business philosophy of Frank = A. Ketcham. recently elected president of the Graybar Electric Company. Constant application and loyalty to one job and one organiza. ton has been his credo.
 For 28 years he has been an em- ployee of tho Graybar Electric Com pany, having started as . clerk. A month ago he received from his fellow workers the highest office within their power to give-that of president.
 He has climbed from the bottom to the top of one job-by growing big. ger with it.
 Stay on the job and work hard. My sxpsrisnce has taught mo that this is the surest formula for suecsss." hs declares.
 "Thsrs is no easiest way. You can not 10 to the head and stay there un' less you have prepared to be . leader through a rigorous period of intelligent and thorough apprenticeship"
 Mir. Ketcham knows the other side of the story-the life and possibilities of the job shifter, for in his early youth he was forced to go into the business world and seek a livelihood with little to choose from. Circum- stances shifted him rapidly. during these younger days, from one job to another until he discovered his nat ural place in the commercial world. At 15 years of age, he was rising young capitalist with $500 earned and saved raising and selling pigs. One year later he was the disillusioned and penniless owner of "salted" gold mine, that produced nothing but a world of experience.
 Before he was IS yeas old. he had been, in rapid succession, farm hand, rancher, sailor and stock raiser. Two summers had been spent as an oiler aboard freight steamer on the Great Lakes in order to pay his tuition in college. A degree in mechanical en- gineerin9 iron. the University of Michigan was almost attained when other financial demands forced him to 60 again into the business world.
 At the age when most youths were just beginning to leave their school. books behind. Mir. ketcham already was . man of the world. From his kaleido. scopic view of life, his youthful mind evolved the basic principle upon which he was to build his future.
 The consistent failure of the job. shiftsr." his experiences and observa. tions of that day taught him. "is the best argument in favor of sticking to sne job and giving it your best"

4 DEVICE whereby the wind, pro- A ducing an artificial tornado, may
 be made to propel and lift an airplane is the invention of Marcus A. Richards, of Zanesville, Ohio.
 Secured by brackets to the front end of the plane is big cap of con- oidal shape. through the middle of which passes a shaft. A similar cap, with shaft, is fastened on top of the plane by like means, just forward of the cockpit
 Each cap is a shell fastened to a cir cular base. but open all around be- tween the base and the edge of the shell. Also it is open at its top. The shaft in each case has anti-friction bearings, in order that it may rotate with great speed.
 From collar secured to the shaft radiate upward and outward arms that carry the conoidal shell, inside of which are several spiral tubes that diminish gradually in diameter from their outer ends below to their inner ends in the top of the shell.
 When the airplane is moving for ward, the air, opposing it, flows into the tubes through the open bottom of the shell at the front. Inasmuch as their diameter lessens toward their in- ner and upper ends, the air thus taken into them attains great velocity as it reaches the upper ends, creating pro- polling force of great power.
 When the plane starts to rise, air currents, entering the tubes of the shell on top of the machine exert powerful upward effect of a tornado in minia- ture, serving to propel the ship, to sup port it in flight, and even to enable it to rise vertically. The driving pro- peller or the lifting propeller is used as it is desired to move forward or to rise. The device is shown at right.

When the Graybar January l by becoming the largest employee-owned organization in the world, separating itself at the same time from the Western Electric Con- pany, Mr. ketcham was chosen by his fellow employees to become their leader.
 What other lessons has Frank A. Ketcham learned?
 First, that perseverance is a much underrated virtue with the average young man. Without it, he says, sue cess is no more certain than is the re- suit of the throw of the dice.
 Second. that failure in one line, or at one specific job, does not mean that a man is unfitted for success. Fail ure to the man of courage and fore. sight acts merely as a spur, and steels the character for future problems. Having met failure and learned from it, he is one step further along the road to success.
 "You cannot find the initiative needed in the leader unless he has been on his own and Las had to faes the unavoidable reverses." he adds.
 MT ketcham's dicta are not based upon theory-each has been evolved from ar experience of his own life.

Filter Purifies
 SchOOlrOOm Air

TOR use in connection with the F ventilation of schoolhouses and other buildings, there was in- vented recently an air-filter that oper- ates automatically. It cleans the air by taking the dust out of it.
 The apparatus, driven by motor of one-fourth horsepower, has series of demountable cells arranged in an end less chain. A tank in the lower part contains one gallon of sticky fluid called "viscosine"
 The cells, carried by chain, pass excessively through the tank beneath, and thus are constantly recoated with the sticky stuff that catches every dust particle. Hence the air, as it goes through the cells, is perfectly cleansed of impurities, including the disease germs which commonly float in the atr mosphere.

THOMPSONVILLE, Mich, November
Three children, the Oldest a CIR
Of 4, were burned to death yesterday ir
the fire which destroyed the farm home
of Frank Eddy near here, while both
Eddy and his wife were away.
The dead are: Lulu, 4; Lenna, 8
and Walter Melvin, 1-year-old.
The cause of the fire was not deter
mined. but it was believed that the
children themselves may have set 1t BY
playing with matches, since the parents
said there was small likelihood of the
flames having started from fires In
stoves in the house.
The father was at work in a field
some distance from his home ana Mrs
Eddy had gone to the home of neigh
Dor for milk for the children when
the fire was discovered by neighbors
The house already was enveloped in
flames when the farmer reached his
home. II was necessary for the group
around the house to restrain Eddy
from dashing into the flames from
which he could not have escaped alive.
