[A VITAL FORCE IN BUSINESS. {It ls an Exceptional Process or Manu- |. facturing Plant in These Days That | Does Not Rest Fundamentally Upon | Chemical Control. | Six gentlemen gathered round a ta- {ble on which were displayed a steel rafl, a waterproof shoe, a fifty cent necktie and a tin of preserved beef Each claimed credit for creating these | commodities. "All are products of our wonderful | factory system," sald the manufactur ler. "My foresight built the factory. jand my management keeps it going." | "How about money? protested the | banker. "Where would your factory { be withcut my financial ald?" | The third man was an engineer, | "Neither factory nor finance would {bave been of much account without | my professional ability in working out | processes," he asserted. "Each of these articles embodies hundreds of engineering problems which 1 have solved." "All production rests on labor." de clared a workman in cap and over alls. "If 1 walk out of your factory everything stops." "l buflt up the consuming demand for your stuff," chipped in the sales man. Finally the sixth man spoke. "l am a chemist," he sald, "and these are all chemica! products. All industry today is three-fourths chem- ical. Youn may think that your steel rail was made In furpaces and mills by purely mechanical processes. but from start to Gnish it depends on chemical exactness in' materials and manipulation. and if the chemistry 1s lacking the rail breaks.

The necktie is made of artifi- |clal silk. a chemical imitation that is at ouce cheap. good looking and use ful.

Enter a vital new factor in American industry--chemical control, Look at our manufacturing plants through the eyes of the chemist and products that you had supposed were entirély mechanical in thelr nature such as building materials, metals, ma. chinery, and the like, become products of the laboratory. The food you eat. the beverages you drink, the clothes youn wear, .the tools you use, your playthings and studies and the power. beat and light that keep you comforta- ble in the modern world--in every one of them is subtle chewnieal supervision It is an exceptional process or plant powadays that does not rest funda- mentally on chemicai control, and If you find one that does not something is probably the matter with it for that very reason.

The rareied | air at great elevations may induce the symptoms well known in balloomists, er in an airplane quickly sees such | and Wells refers to a case of frostbite | disturbances, even if the submersible is | in an airman who had been exposed to | too far under the sea to be seen itself. But the important fact is that the | submarine spends most of her time on | the surface. One famous submarine's | ability to sail seventy miles under wa- 'ter without rising is regarded as a | great achievement. - Most submarines, that is, cannot keep submerged nearly so long. The reason is that it has to come to the surface to recharge its electric batteries. This recharging is done by the ofl engines, which can work ouly on the surface because of the exhaust. In | addition to its other disadvantages this recharging process makes a noise that can be heard five miles away. While undergoing this ordeal the sub- marine is in a helpless condition, and a well aimed shot even from a small gun, such as a motorboat can carry, cap pierce its thin steel plates and send it to the bottom. FLAG OF GREECE. The Standard Adopted by the National Assembly In 1822, The ancient Greeks had no standard although they venerated the emblems on their shields as we our flag. The first flag used by the Greeks was dec orated with a two headed eagle and was used in the revolt against the Turks In 1464 In the revolution of | 1709 a white flag with a blue cross was | raised. mca In; 1803. when All Pasha was ravag- ing Thessaly, John Stathans led a flo tilla into Skiathos under a flag which was the same as that in use at the present day--blue with a white cross The frst flag of the great revolution | 'was raised by Marco Botzaris on Oct | 25, 1820. It was white with an icon | of St. George. i On Jan. 1, 1822, the national assem- | bly in Epidaurus, at the foundation of the independence of Greece. defined | the Greek flag as follows: On the land, nine horizontal stripes, a plain blue flag in four quarters with a white | cross in the middle. to be called the "land flag." On the sea, nine horizon: tal stripes. five blue and four white with a blue square in the corner in four quarters, on which is a white Cross. This is the flag known as the Greek flag today. The blue ground is very dark The Giraffe as It Feeds. | The singular shape of the giraffe is | adapted to its habits of life. It feeds | on the young branches and top shoots of the trees. and its long fore legs and neck epabie it to browse at a far great er height than any other animal In feeding it stretches up Its neck and with its long prehensile tongue, which it can protrude te a surprising dis tance, hooks down the tender shoots | and leaves into its mouth. But the creature's pecullar form, though en- abling it to feed on what it likes best, is sometimes the cause of its destruc tion. The fore legs are so long that to reach the ground it has to stretch them wide apart and bend down its neck in a semicircle, and while drinking in Making Coffee In Java.

We write of South America, the continent where are the world's greatest mountain ranges, densest forests and largest riv- ers. Just for instance, the Amason river system has over 00,000 miles of navi- gable waterway, enough to tie two loops around our planet. It can be navigated for 2,500 miles by ocean steamers, a greater distance than from New York to Panama. The Rio de la Plata is 120 miles wide at its mouth! And notwithstanding all Colonel Roosevelt's discoveries South America still has the largest unexplored area of any continent. Almost everybody knows that Brasil is larger than Europe or the continental United States, but the size of the "littie™ republics is not so well known. Texas could be lost twice In "Httle" Venezuela and still leave room for Kentucky and Tennessee. Peru could comfortably swallow Cal. fornia, Oregon, Washington, Nevada. And it is over 2.600 miles from one end of Chile to the other--almost as far as from New York to Glasgow!
