Twenty-two men were killed. Before that, the naval tug Conestoga vanished in mid-Pacific with 43 aboard. And before that was the de stroyer Woolsey collision off Panama which cost 15 lives. The climax came last week at San Pedro, California, when explosions aboard the Mississippi resulted in 48 lives being lost. What is the cause?

And perhaps faulty equipment is not without bearing on the present situation, This paper stands for making our navy the equal of any on earth, But our navy must have men as well as machinery, These men, officers and gobs, are our sons and are not going to want to give them if we feel everything is not as it should be in the service? We cannot afford to let our navy fall into disrepute. To prevent this, in point of peace-time safety and all-the-time dis cipline and morale, it must be maintained at the super pitch at which our Ameri- can manhood is perfectly capable of keep- we their toes, Ts that what's the matter? We confess we do not know. We be- lieve, however, that for the good of the No End to Trouble HE butcher who keeps his hand on the scales and ! weighs it in with the steak may be known to many of you. And, no doubt, you comment about the crooked- ness and petty cheating of this day and age when things are going to the bow-wows. Things, by the way, are always going to the bow-wows —in all generations, all centuries. More than 400 years ago a famous French preacher named Oliver Millard rose up in his pulpit and pro- nounced a curse on “those who, when they weigh, press down the scales with their finger.” Preacher Maillard took a rap at “tavernkeepers who sophisticate and mingle wines.” . . . ‘And after four cen- turies most bootleggers are doing the same thing— adulterating liquor. Maillard denounced “butchers who blow up their meat, and who mix hog’s lard with the fat of their meat.” . . . The popular trick in 1924 is to feed the fowl a lot of corn just before killing it, or pour gravel in its gullet to make it weigh heavier. Maillard championed the downtrodden poor by boldly telling his rich congregation: “If you ladies and gentle- men who are battening on your pleasures and wear scarlet clothes, I believe if you were closely put in a good wine- press we should see the blood of the poor gush out.” The more a man studies the histories of long-departed generations, the more impressed he is that people have the same basic troubles no matter in what century they live. Troubles have no end. They seem to be perpetual. True, there is a never-ending fight against these chronic trou- bles. But the troubles persist despite no end of denuncia- tion and indignation. ing it it is. Are we really getting anywhere, thru the ages? Or are we just kidding ourselves? 2 Nature doesn’t want us to have things easy. Occasion- ally it may seem that life is a jail, troubles part of a sentence we are serving for sins of a previous existence. The real answer, of course, is that troubles and obstacles are sent to develop and bring out the best that’s in us. Preacher Maillard was simply wasting his breath. Profit in Babies iJ T IS not likely that you ever heard of a firm profiteer- ing out of investment in babies, but the H. K. Fergu- son Co., one of Cleveland’s largest factory construction companies, does it. In 1913 the Ferguson Co. put on its payroll these items: Single babies—$50. Twins—$100. Brides and bridegrooms—$100. Since that date the company has sent out cl for 30 weddings and over 100 babies, and Mr. Ferguson figures out a profit. “People are happier when married and doubly happy with children,” he says, “and the most surprising thing is the way it works back to me. My people are showing more interest in their work.” Queer idea, isn’t it? When your workman is happy with babies, he does better work. Some of the labor- crushing gangs that run chambers of commerce ought to study it. Drafting Money 1 THE next war, draft dollars and property as well as » soldiers, urges Bernard M. Baruch, former chairman of the war industries board. It is not a new idea. Many others are advocating it. Legislation along this line recently was proposed in con- eSS. at dollars were drafted for the next war, the same as men for the army, there wouldn’t be any “next war.” A war without someone cleaning up big profits is be- yond the power of imagination. No chance of robbing the government on war contracts, or profiteering on the pub- lic. What would be the use of having such a war? LETTER FROM VW RIDGE MANN June 19, 1924.

We have used Zerolene oils and greases for the past five years. Our equipment (18 trucks and 2 Passenger cars) is operated continuously throughout the year and the maintenance has been confined to keeping it supplied with the proper amount of oil and grease; bearings have required only reasonable ad- Justment after long intervals, and no replacements, We were well pleased with our recent quarterly check on the mechanical condition of our equipment, and knowing this condition to be maintained by the use of your oils and greases, we thought your com- pany would be interested to know of our complete satisfaction,” We believe that Zerolene will improve the gasoline mileage, reduce carbon deposits, and lengthen the working life of every car in which it is used. Why pay tribute to a superstition? Insist on Zerolene even if it does cost less. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (CALIFORNIA) NE succeeds EASTERN’ ® ©
