Uncle Rays Corner

When a volcano explodes. 1t may
send vast clouds of smoke into the
air, along with cinders and pebbles.
1t may even shoot out deadly gas,
such as that which brought death
to more than 10000 persons on the
island of Martinique "A years ago.
Yet lava is the subst ance we are
likely to think of most in connection
with volcanoes. This is a kind Of
rock which is liquid while hot.
At many places under the surface
Of the earth. masses of hot rock are
known to exist. This hot rock is
more or less LIQUID, but it is under
pressure, Scientists call it ma gma.'
At certain times. and in certain
places. the pressure of the magma
becomes so great that it wells out
of the ground, often making new
hole as it does so. The result is a
flow of liquid rock which is called
lava while it is above ground
The lava tends to change into
rock. Some of it hardens in very
short time. Where there is great
volume of lava pouring out. the>cool-
ing goes on slowly. The outside of
lava river" may harden long be-
fore the inner material.
When lava flows. it may move
slowly or it may move quickly. The
speed depends mainly on whether
the slope is steep or gentle. Ninety
one years ago there was a lava flow
on Mauna Loa Hawaii. with a speed
of about 40 miles an hour Early in
the past century. Mount Vesuvius in
Italy sent out lava which flowed at
the rate Of almost a mile minute.
Here and there lava drops over
the brink of cliff. At such a time
it looks, from distance, like water
in waterfall.

Words to Watch.

There is no hose in hosiery,
despite the fact that hosiery de-
rives from the word hose, Hosiery
has three syllables, and the second
is "zher," as in Hoosier. Say;
HOE-zher-ee
Watch the first 1T" in identity
and quantity. Avoid pronouncing
the words as if they were spelled
"idenity quantity" Both is
should be clearly heard. Say: eye
DEN ti-tee; KWAHN-titee.
According to dictionary consen-
sus, the second syllable of mon
arch does not rhyme with dark,
ark" Reference to any reputable
dictionary will show that the sec
ond-syllable vowel sound is OBJ
scured, giving it a rhyme with jerk.
Turk thus: MON-erk.
Vacuum should have a long "u'
tvooD in the second syllable. Not
"VAK-yum" Give the word three
syllables. thus: VAK-yooum.
There is a superstition that vac
uum is the only English word con-
tanning "'uu" I know of at least six
other words in ''uu," and there NAV
| be a few more: continuum; dunn
vir: duumvirate, perpetuum; resi-
dunn, iridium.

Future Prices on | H Products

1t is plain that price relief will be
needed to meet the increased
wage and material costs which
we must carry.
We regret this necessity. We
prefer to lower prices, when pos
sible, rather than raise them and
we know our customers prefer to
have us do that. We had hoped to
be able to hold the line, at least.
But we do not see how we can
avoid operating at a loss if our
prices continue to remain at their
present frozen levels. We will
NOT "cut corners on any of our
products, because QUALITY IS
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR
BUSINESS.
Our customers can be certain
that we will seek no more than a
moderate profit, both because of
our policies and because we have
approximately 300 competitors
fighting us vigorously for your
business. Our request for price
relief will be no more than is nee
essary to insure continued service
to our customers, continued work
for our employees, and a reason
able return for our stockholders.

9 AZ. .,., ssSt p "'t year ear. 4.st

In this survey, the average of the
guesses by the public of the war
time profits made by industry was
-. thirty per cent 5000.
But in the four war years of
1912, 1943, 1914, and 1945, the
profits of International Harvester
Company averaged only -. 1895
on sales. Less than one sixth of
'0hdt the general public guessed"
for all industry.
For this period, the year by
year per cent of profits on sales
was: 1942-734, 1943-5.59,
1914 1896, 1945-3.93.

There has been no general in
crease in our prices since they tOere
frozen by the Government early in
1912.
So our situation today is that
what we BUY costs US 1916 prices.
We will be paying average hourly
wages 500 above 1871. For what
we SELL we get only 1912 prices.
This condition cannot long be
met out of our present low rate
of profit

rate of profit in normal times.
Many large businesses, including
ourselves, would consider it a
banner year if we could reach
this figure. Our average profit for
the last ten years-four lOdr and
SIX peace-tOas 6.43% more than
q third less than What the public
considers fair.
All these figures show that our
profits are not high. AS a matter
of fact, the entire farm machinery
industry is low profit industry.
In 1914, the Federal Trade Com
mission published a list of 76 in
dustries ranked in order of their
ratio of profits to sales. The farm
machinery industry was 57th on
the list.
