Chevrolet Reorganizes

HUSKY THROATS
Detroit, Dec. 12.—To improve
its service to the millions of
owners of Chevrolet cars and
trucks, the Chevrolet Motor
Company has re-organized its
Parts and Service department a-
long lines which will permit
greater specialization in each of
the field.s which have heretofore
fallen within that d.^partment's
province, IV. E. Holler, general

to top galley as the Canadian,

gan a human lecture, his first In
this country. On* the case hls-
toi'ies of the five babies from the
time of their birth.
For one of the first times laf
his career, Dr. Dafoe was dress
ed in a dinner jacket.
. After discussing the technical
medical aspect of the babies'
birth, he turned to a consider
ation of “the emotional side of
their 'stories.”
Every soothsaj^r, astrologer,
and promoter in the world, he
thought, must have sent him let
ters during the last five months.
",V beauty specialist," he said,
“recommended her beauty cream
for removing wrinkles from pre
mature babies; a herb doctor
wrote to prescribe calf skin for
preventing whooping cough; a
prohibitionist criticized the use
of rum as a medicine saying it
might be the means of starting
the girls on their downward
paths.”
Seated in the orchestra pit
were hundreds of mothers from
Park avenue to First avenue,
from the Bronx to Coney island;
in the tiers of boxes sat physi
cians, nurses, obstreticlans; in
the gallery were medical stu
dents and more of the general
public.
His audience gasped as he told
of the rigors of existence in the
country he came from, of fami
lies having as many as 20 chil
dren, of women resuming house
work five days after the birth of
a baby,
“They are happy, good people,

the doctor.

Recent findings in excavated

has a history that dwarfs many

the 'Wilkes Electric Co., local

speaking of the development of
electrical refrigeration.
“The Romance of Refrigera

refrigeration
needs by a crude method of
evaporation. They filled porous
jars with water and slaves were
forced to fan the jars until the
evaporation lowered the temper
ature of the liquid within the
jar. It is also recorded that the
Greeks and Egyptians used a
similar principle to cool water
and other liquid.s.
"Down through the ages great
strides have been made in the
progress of refrigeration, but in
the past ice, or refrigeration,
was within the reach of only
kings, potentates, or very weal
thy men. Crude methods of stor
ing ice e.xacted the toll of vast
sums of money so that refriger
ation the year around was prac
tically unheard of.
“Many historians give Cather
ine dl Medici credit for heighten
ing the interest in refrigeration.
In the sixteenth century she in
troduced the use of frozen des
serts to the French and Italian
counts with a lavishness that
caused considerable consterna
tion among rival chefs, but in
the sixteenth century such deli
cacies were practically unknown
and their distribution was con
fined to tbe palates of only a
few.
“About 100 years ago," the
local 'Wtestinghouse representa
tive continued, "a gallant Yan
kee clipper set sail from Boston
o}» her way to CSIeuUa through
the Cape of Good Hope, up the
bay.of Beagalr’and-on u-p the hot
mouth of tbe Ganges Riifer.
Packed in the hold of the clip
per was a strange "cargo-^a car
go of ice, half of which had
melted during * the long, hot
journey. Thus was refrigeration
supplied to a hot, fever-ridden
country. It involved a huge ex
penditure of money, prohibitive
to the common person.
“Contrast these facts with ex
isting conditions today,” Mr.
Day concluded. “Today the mod
ern housewife has only to step
to her electrical refrigerator to
get food preservation powers far
beyond the reach of the richest
and most powerful of kings of
a few centuries ago. Truly, in
dustrial science has kept pace
with civilization.”

Russian Firing Squad
Executes Nine Plotters
Minsk, U. S. S. R.. Dec. 11.—
A firing squad today snuffed out
the lives of nine alleged counter-
revolutionists, shortly after they
wore convicted of terrorism.
The sentences, imposed by the
military collegium since the as
sassination of Sergei Kiroff De
cember 1 started sweeping in
vestigations of counter-revolu
tionary operations.
An official statement said the
majority of the nine men sen
tenced today entered White Rus
sia from Poland armed with re
volvers and bombs. Three others
tried with them on charges of
terrorism were held for further
investigation.
Money in the bank right when you need it at Christmas is the foundation
for a happy holiday. A bank account is Santa’s ablest helper! Why not
make sure that next Yuletide will be a bountiful season of joy in your
home by planning ahead and saving systematically. Only a few cents put
aside regularly each week will make all the difference bettveen a meager
celebration and a completely successful holiday. ^
