New York.-The mild and pleas. ing little rackets, which carry no guns and issue no threats, are in hnitely more profitable in the big city than those which fence with the law. To be sure, they reuuire more brains, more organization and more worldly knowledge.
 They angle for two sorts of climb- ers-social and literary. And the Broadway woods are filled with easy game. There are any number of plump, impressionable ladies willing to stalk down a social or literary lion at any cost-and there are many smart folk quite willing to act as guides. at so much per guidance.
 The introduction of nouveau riche newcomers into the more scented and sainted circles is one of the neatest and easiest ways to increase bank roll. One woman requires three assistants, all of them young women from the smarter girls schools.
 Parties are arranged in the more fashionable hotels and a list of invited guests is shown the "nouveau.' This list contains some real top-notch names. Whether they attend or not is something else again. But a certain mid strata of social life is likely to show up and this is good enough for the getaway.
 Then the real game commences. The promoter has a contact with certain newspapers. A paragraph
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-19

appears telling of the affair in the swanky hotel, and carefully worded paragraph says, Among those invited' and thus links the name of the nouveau with that of some real who's who folk.
 Of course the nouveau pays and pays and pays and so does an- other one.
 There are, of course, nice ball. looms to be punctured, and ser pentines and pseudo gaiety and all the rest. At so much per head with the hotel frequently in on the "cut"
 The literary lion hunt is arranged a bit differently.
 Certain clubs are formed and sev- erai hundred members agree to take lunch, at so much per head, on certain day each week. And, in ad- dition, they pay fee for the privi- lege of belonging. The lunch fee is tipped so as to insure a certain ex- tra profit.
 | Now the sponsors of the club agree to have present at each oc- casion several personages promi- nent in the book and theater world, or in both. There is long genera. table, with the lions seated where all can look upon them and listen to their tales.
 The matter of getting them to be there is simple. Every author wants his book to sell. So does the pub fisher. The publisher is more than glad to have authors placed on ex- hibition. The author is told that here is grand chance to get his newest book before several hundred good book buyers, who will spread the word to 500 more.
 So the author, who customarily might get neat fee for a lec- ture tour, appears for his few minutes talk, free, gratis and for nothing.
 It's all done without the spon- sors having had to put up a thin dime over and above the organiza- tion cost.
 And very neat income it is.

speed away faster than we went there.
 At sea level water boils when it is PIP degrees above zero (Fahren- heit). On mountains water boils vixen ot is less hot. This explains why people who camp on mountains find that eggs take much longer than usual to become hard boiled.
 Water boils at a lower point on mountains because the air pressure is less than at sea level. Other tests prove that pressure decides the boil ing point. Water placed where air, pressure was very high, did not boil until it was 250 degrees above zero.
 When we visit steel mill we see men dipping up liquid iron in ladels, or watch the liquid iron run- ming into molds where it will cool off and become solid.
 After steel is made, we can turn it into liquid again if we make it hot enough. Some furnaces using coal and other common fuels produce heat more than 5000 degrees above zero. Such heat may be raised to $500 degrees if a blowpipe feeds oxy- gen to the flames. Steel will boil when heated to350O degrees.
 A powerful electric current pass ing from one carbon rod to another will make the heat rise much higher. A good electric furnace supplies 5000 degrees of heat.

OUR DAILY NEWS LETTER

Washington.-The United States automobile industry is depending upon special highway construction by the unemployed in all countries to furnish an incentive for it's own expansion.
 Road building is almost universal- ly an invitation to increased use of motor vehicles, according to repre- sentatives of the national industry. There were already 7,959,O0O miles of highways in the world in 1939. an increase of 154,O0O over the pre- vious year. Reports of more build- ing as part of emergency unemploy- ment measures in many; countries are being received, which indicate this figure may be materially in creased during 1881. ,a.
 Hundreds of miles of new roads are being constructed every day in the world and these increasing miles must be equipped with more automobiles" President Hoover re- gently said in an optimistic address to the National Automobile Cham Der of Commerce.
 The same sentiment was re- fiected by the chamber itself in an- nouncing the belief that "exports in 1881 will be again on a satis- factory basis
 American motor vehicles Sold in foreign markets during 1890 totaled 561,000, or 16 per cent of the total production of the national1y-owned automobile factories. The total number of motor vehicles in use by peoples of foreign countries is esti- mated at 9,000,00O. Replacement of these, together with new sales
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-19

throughout the coming year, are ex. pected to result in the export figurs showing an increase.
 The importance of the automo. bile industry in American business was pointed out by President Hoover in the same address re- ferred to when he recalled that "one rerson in every ten of the people of our country" is di- rectly or indirectly dependent upon it for their livelihood.
