A. Ne. | Q. What is the right of emineat domain? A, Lands owned by private indi- viduals can be taken by the Govern- ment even against the will of the owner. This privilege of the govern- ment is called the “right of eminent domain.” Some of the easential con- ditions to the valid exercise of this right are: There must be & con- list is given in the description of the ernaments of the Prince of Tyre, Esekiel 38: 13.

Not only are the Ford buyers free frem sentimentality in their but they are equipped with such array of statistics that they can as accurate & price on a the ‘man endeavoring to sell it oratories are 80 well equip they can tell within five pany finds from the first moment of bis interview with the purchasing . agent that he must know absolutely what he is talking about or he will be at the mercy of a man with more knowledge of the salesman's own line. Hia initial price is slashed by the buyer and finally a compromise is r ed, The salesman leaves a » sample of his product and is told ° to return later, When he does so he is told defi- - nitely how much it costs his concern to manufacture the. merchandise in question, and the Ford purchasing agent makes his best offer for & tremendous quantity, If the sales- i man is able to recover from the shock of having his own firm’s costs quoted at him, the deal goes through on Ford's terms. The secret lies in the laboratories of the Detroit automotive concern, In these are experts who can take : any product, analyze, and figure out within five per cent what itg maker has to pay for material, labor, oyer- head, risk of loss and every oon- ceivable item. This s figured out on the grand scale of the huge num- ¢ ber which the Ford concern wishes i to buy, and then the final quotation { is given to the purchasing agent. In ,this way products gre bought at & minimum price which, however, leaves a satisfactory margin of pro- fits for the manufacturer when the size of the order is considered. When the order has been filled and it is time to seek another, the salesman is in for another shock, ag his naturl assumption that a re. peat sale will be easy is {instantly shattered. For in the meantime the Ford company has been securing fig- ures of rival concerns manufacturing the same article, and if they are lower there is no hope of a repeat order, Some allowance is made for ®ood service on the original prder, however, Knowing that the concern which furnished it can duplicate its performance satisfactorily, the Ford buyer nllows it & margin of five per cent over the other bidders, but if one of these quotes a figure beneath the margin the order is transferred, Furthermore, if the origipal man- ufactures more than required of the article purchased, it finds itseif left with the surplus on its hands, for it was not told to make more than a certali number and the extra ones weré manufactured at its own risk. It is by such micrometric figuring and close adherence to cold facts and digits that the Ford company has been able to produce its famed low-priced cars. The methods are rigorous and seem unfair at first thought, but when understood fully ' by both parties they resuit only in the elimination of all waste and the placing of the transactions on an im- personal but efficient basis, TO REPEAT PAGEANT * The . pageant “Two Thousand Years of Christianity” will be re- peited at the First Lutheran church tomorrow" afternoon at 4 o'clock.

The establishment of a Uni- versity in the National Capital was one of the desires most strongly en- tertained by George Washington. In his will he left a legacy for such an institution if ever crbated, However, the legacy never became effective. Congress, because of varying apin- ions as to the functions of the na- tional government in matters of edu- cation, never acted; and in time the Potomac_Canal shares, left by Wash- purpose, became ington for the valueless, Q.

The single occasion when her liberties were threatened resulted in the traditional story of the Charter Oak. For 50 years following the absorption of New Haven by the Connecticut Colony under the terms of the charter granted the latter in 1662, Connecticut was engaged in a constant struggle to mlll’hln the rights which the charter had granted. Conflict- ing grants by Charles II to his brother, then Duke of Yotk, boundary disputes, and the fear that the charter might be an- nulled by royal decree kept the statesmen of the day on the alert. Sir Edmund Andros who had become royal governor of New England in 1685 came to Hartford on October 31, 1687, while the General Assembly was in session, to seize the charter. In the evening, after an afternoon of heated debate on whether the precious document should be surrendered, it was brought into the General Court at Andros’ request and placed upon the table. Buddenly the candles which lighted the room were extinguished and during the darkness that prevailed the charter disappeared. Andros dissolved the government, Secretary John Allyn writ- ing “Finis” at the close of the record of the proceedings. When Andros’ downfall came in May, 1689, the government and char- ter reappeared, the latter being brought from the large oak tree where it had been secreted by Capt. Joseph Wadsworth.

Suon'rx.v before 1900 two baby boys were born on opposite sides of the world, one near Ottawa, Ontario; the other in East Prussia. Who living at that time could have believed that the Cana- dian baby would kil the baby in a battle in the air above a farm in France, occupted by Australian soldiers, who wore steel helmets? Airplanes had not been in- vented when these babies were born, and steel heimets had been long abandoned. One of these boys was Baron Manfred von Richthofen, of a long line of Prussian nobles. His forefathers had worn the uni- form of their king since the days of armor and chargers, They had nearly all been in the cavalry, because that was the aristo- cratic and dashing branch of the military service. Young Richthofen went to the military schools” and learned that peculiar arro- gance which belonged to the lieutenant in the days before the Great War. He was 8 lieutenant at twenty-one, and his soul went up every night in prayer for war. Butscience had passed up the horse. The cavalry couldn’t stand engagements with modern weapons. A few months later he was at a school of aviation, and a few months later he was an ace, and a few months later he was the most celebrated ofnllfl:zl(niser‘l.cu—mechnngk:ld the air, the Red Knightof Germany. He had shot down eighty planes, and been twice decorated by the German Kaiser in person, Meanwhile, changes had also come over Roy Brown. He learned where Servia was, where Serajevo was, and where Bel- gium was. He forgot the Toronto base- ball team, took a private course in flying and enlisted in the Royal Naval Corps, where he became Flight Sub- Lieutenant Roy Brown., While he was no Richthofen, he was an ace. He had been decorated by the King of England, and had been promoted to Captain, Fate was bringing these boys from op- posite sides of the world nearer together, It was the twenty-first of April, 1918, Richthofen was with his fighting squad- ron in the sky. He was on the tail of a young man named May, who had spent his ammunition. His bullets were cutting - e Wi young May’s plane, who was in his first air fight, when Roy Brown dove upon the unseeing Richthofen from behind. It was a long shot and had to be a quick one or May was gone. One bullet reached the flying Uhlan, piercing his heart. He never knew what hit him. This was the last bullet which Brown ever shot at an enemy. He came to the ground, learned the identity of his quarry, and collapsed from over-strain. While the British soldiers gave Richthofen a beauti- ful and chivalric funeral, Brown lay un- conscious in & hospital, suffering from an attack of hysteria which left him never This Breath-taking Story Begins in TOMORROW’S NDAY.® NEWS ew Yorks Picture Newspaper Regtsterad o Stanley Works, New Britain.
