One of the productions of military! aeronautics was a puncture-proot gasoline tank, made of soft rubber with @ thin lining of copper. Tho Germans built an armored battie- plane known as the fying tank, but it did not prove very successful. The Zeppelins were a failure be- cause they depended for their buoy- ancy on a highly inflammable gas. Now American ‘chemists have dis- covered helium, or “sun gas,” the one element looking to make the dirigible balloon a real success, The Liberty Motor finished at Washington on July 4, 1917, waa too heavy for a light battle plane, but ex- cellent for other planes, In the la! development of fying bonts, four of these motors were used to drive a siant plane of the NC type. The automatic seaplane that served as a target for aerial gunners in training was another development. Sent up without a pilot, it would fly at the rate of forty to fifty miles an hour until its supply of gasoline gave out, when it would drop into the sea. Planes were used for other purposes than fighting during the war—for one there was the flying ambu- lance, Mail is now carried through the air; in Europe huge bombing machines are being used for pas- senger service between cities, and here as well as abroad police are be- ing trained to fly. Talking in the sky has been made possible by the audion, an American invention. It was devised by De Forest in 1906, and finally developed by engineers of the Bell Telephone Company. It ts also possible to near ; sounds under the water, thanks to the hydrophone. Sound detectors de- veloped during the war may be the means in future of saving many ships from collision or running on rocks in foggy weather.

To-day you are in business. Business gets slow. You lose customers, You see the stark, grim wolf of failure creeping ‘round your corner heading for your door, YOU MUST DO MORE BUSINESS! Will you go and drag custom- ers in? Will you travel ‘round and tell your people of your plight and try to get them to patronize you out of pity? What chance do you stand against the punishing advertising of your competitors? No chance at all—unless— and this is your only salvation— | you advertise with them—ad- vertise against them—or go to the wall! You must race at their pace or you're out of the running.
