Some “robot” salesmen sell mer
chandise. Another robot, at a dis
tance, answers questions, gives in
formation as to the amount of water
in a reservoir, etc.
An airplane recently traveled
from Cleveland tp Washington, D. G,
a robot gyroscope in charge of the
controls until the moment of landing.
Now Mr. Gilford, of the big tele
phone company, has a telephone that
calls out in plain English the num
bers dialed. The d^l telephone that
you have learned to operate can be
arranged to tell a central operator
what number you want in a voice as
clear as that of any phonograph.
It takes a good imagination to sug
gest something that men cannot do.
The rules of West Point forbid the
cadet to have “a horse, dog, wife or
mustache.”
Cadet Paul Capron, Jr., found h«
could get along without the horse,
dog or mustache. But when he saw
Marguerite Gillespie, Cadet Capron
decided that the academy rules were
too strict
Miss Gillespie is now Mrs. Capron,
and Mr. Capron, no longer at West
Point, is now looking for a newspaper
job in Boston.
Ancient Sparta had rules similar
but more severe for young men. It
is wise to bar mustaches that gather
germs. Horses and dogs are not nec
essary. But why shouldn’t a young
West Pointer marry if. he wants to
marry?
li you have a steel business, and
run It well, you can make money in
America, with help of a protective
tariff.
Income tax reports of the leading
steel companies show that in six years
past they have paid income tax on
one thousand million dollars of profit.
A billion in six ybars is good profit,
but no more than a great industry
should make in a prosperous country.
The benefit of buying at borne from
your owu people, even if you pay a
little more, resides in the fact that
the money stays here, goes Into other
American enterprises, more factories,
more production, more prosperity.
Where a few persons are gathered
together, only the stock market Is dis
cussed. A Fifth avenue jeweler !■
Iview York lets it be known that be
has for sale a $300,000 pearl necklace,
which can be bought for $100,000. But
it must be all cash. Some lady ap
parently expected prices to go up for
ever.
Wall Street names a speculator al
leged to move from the ticker to his
automobile surrounded by five men to
guard him. He started a bear pool two
weeks ago.
A few fi:lends each Invested $100,000,
and each has thus far taken out in
profit $1,500,000.
The five body guardsmen are hired
on the assumption that angry losers
might plan evil for the bead of the
bear pool.
The rain falls on the just and un
just, and a market slump falls upon
the good and bad stocks.
Of millions that rushed to buy
stocks when they were going up, only
a few, the wise minority, will know
enough to walk in carefully and buy
them when they fall below what they
are worth.
Wise was old Rothschild, who saia
he made his money “selling too soon.’’
The human family Is bigger than it
thought. The league of nations’ statis
tical department shows that earth’s
population is only 50,000.000 short of
2,000,000,000.

OLDSMOBILE PROVIDES
PRESSURE LUBRICATED
PISTON PINS
A feature
characteristic
of high'priced
cars
Incorporated in the con
struction of Oldsmo-
bile’s big 62-horsepower
engine are many fea
tures which have long
been considered marks
of high quality in auto
mobile power plants.
Piston pins, for example, are pressure
lubricated through connecting rods
which are rifle-drilled throughout
their entire length. Serving as connect
tions between rods and pistons, the
pins act constantly as bearing surfaces
under great strain. The stress imposed
by compression and combustion is enor
mous, and, %o assure smoothness and
long life, piston pins must be perfectly
lubricated. And the only positive
method of lubrication is by direct pres
sure from the oil pump through crank
shaft and connecting rods. According
to specifications shown in the July
issue of “Motor,” only twelve makes
of cars, in addition to Oldsmobilc

majority of these are
