IN the exciting discussions now
= raging on American imports
and exports, has any economist
counted in dollars and cents the
value to other nations of the export
of American brains, ingenuity and
inventive skill? The question
raises a new export factor for the
almanacs of the future, which is
going to establish new trade bal
ances and new world conditions.
When the DO-X, giant German
seaplane, reaches the United States
after flying across the Atlantic, she
will bring back to the United
States some of these products de-
veloped by American brains, FOR
she will not only be propelled by
twelve Curtiss Conqueror engines,
generating 1900 horsepower. but
she will also be fueled and lubri-
Gated by American gasoline and Oil
which has been made, not found.
This acceptance of American
products by foreign technicians,
acknowledged world leaders in
heavy service aircraft construction.
is considered by industrial leaders
as an outstanding example of the
coming importance of American
exports which depend upon Ameri-
can inventive genius. D
Contrary to general opinion, the
oil used is not made specially for
the DO-X, but is the regular stock
Mobiloil Aero H, the same as is
commercially used in airplane en-
gines and available at the princi-
pal airports throughout the world.
The oil is brought in regular
containers of SIS gallons and 5
gallons each to the DO-X. 1t Is

About Mr.. Hall

Fame, fortune and adventure
have followed in the footsteps Of
Julian Hall, who is making the
big hit in the All-Washington
Revue at the Fox Theater.
Hall is the son of Mrs. Herbert
Alto, of 1919 West Virginia Ave.
n. E., and is the grandson Of the
late Julius Dexter Rose, at one
time Congressman from Mary,
land.
Halls father at one time was
one of the leading dancing school
teachers in this city. Finally he
gave up the dancing career and
took Master Hall, then five years
old, off with him to join a circus
Inside of a year this youngster
was adept in acrobatic work,
trapeze work and even led the
band with a wagon circus.
AS he grew up, this youngster
tried his luck in various fields.
He became a double for Charlie
chaplin and played the double
part in Chaplin's Dough and
Dynamite" He then returned to
his first love, music and dancing
and has led numerous dance
orchestras around Washington
aud New York.

"bet this money on mine horse"
Before the startled bookie had
a chance to reply, the money
had been thrust in his hand
and Max had vanished in the
crowd. He shrugged his shoul-
ders and returned to his regu-

A few minutes more and the
race was run. There wasn't
anything to it. Max's horse was
a cinch winner. He breezed
home by a block or two. and
paid the interesting odds Of
six to one.
AS he fought his way through
the crowd, Max was in twenty
third heaven. He had won
$3,000! With that money, he
could rent a larger shop. Busi.

'Why, Jimmy" he chirped,

You just had a raise"
It was the reporters turn to
