BY THE WAY

Y Most Embarrassing Moment as

"Ma an Executive" is the title of a

symposium in the "American Printer." One contributor tells of a job which had been printed with several bad errors uncorrected. The foreman waited with fear for the result of their detection by the "boss." Finally the moment came. "There was a peculiar light in the chief's eye," he says. "We braced ourselves for the tornado. It came in these words: 'Our customer is tickled to pieces over this job. He wants an additional 20,000 copies. Is the form standing? I promised delivery by Friday night.'

Another embarrassing moment described in the symposium quoted above came when a printer found the name WARFIELD in an elaborate four-color job spelled WARFIFLD. Visions of Mr. Warfield's wrath almost unsettled the printer's mind. Sanity was restored when an ingenious pressman suggested saving the job by running it through the press again with one letter, an E, so printed as to cover up the vacant space in the lower part of the F.

Among overworked words and phrases listed by our readers are these: "Fix," "psychology," "proposition," "That's

right," "perfectly all right," "straight goods," "positively" with the accent on the 'tive,'" "terribly nice," "sure," "reaction."

The "Black Watch" is one of six regiments of the British Army who wear kilts, the national garb of Scotland. So a correspondent states in calling attention to an error in the caption of a photograph which appeared on page 362 of The Outlook for June 29. This regiment, otherwise known as the Royal Highlanders, was organized in 1740, and has had a distinguished record, beginThe original guard ning at Fontenoy. from which the regiment was formed dark tartans, hence the "Black Watch," to distinguish them from the "red soldiers," as the regular troops were called.

Lord Kitchener, a born soldier, did not, as with other soldiers, always hold civilian opinion in great respect, according to Major-General Sir C. E. Callwell, who says in his just published book, "Experiences of a Dug-Out:"

Lord K. seemed quite incapable of taking his Cabinet colleagues so seriously as people of that sort take themselves. Indeed, but for the more prominent ones, he never could remember what their jobs were, nor even recollect their names. It put one in a cold perspiration to hear him remark, when recounting what had occurred at a Cabinet séance or at the meeting of some committee bristling with Privy Councilors, "A fellow-I don't know his name, but he's got curly hair-said. . ."

The first bathtub in the United States was installed in Cincinnati, Ohio, December 20, 1842, by Adam Thompson, according to the records of the manufacturers of plumbers' materials. Christmas party," it is said, "Thompson exhibited his tub, lined with mahogany and sheet lead, to his guests; later, four of them took a plunge." The incident and the new invention aroused considerable criticism. Some papers called the innovation an epicurean luxury, others thought it undemocratic. President Fillmore, however, after seeing the original bathtub, is said to have had one installed in the White House.

A Chicago department store issues this statement in regard to the dress of its girl employees:

We find numerous instances of employees wearing dresses with short sleeves, low-cut necks, and extremely short skirts, sometimes with rolleddown stockings. Rouge should not be used, nor powder in excess, and extreme styles in hair-dressing should be avoided. Dresses trimmed with spangles or having embroidered parts also are noticed.

The so-called "bobbed hair" is condemned by this store as an "extreme style" in hair-dressing.

"What luck some people have!" says the editor of the London "Sphere." He refers to a purchase at an auction sale described by a correspondent as follows:

At an auction of the library of Lord Carew at Castle Boro, Enniscorthy, I bought about 1,200 volumes of books from the library. These were all put up together, and went for £9. They are beautiful volumes, all bound in ful polished calf and beautifully tooled. They date from 1800 to 1840, and include sets of Swift, Burke, Scott, Burns, Lingard, etc.

An effective demonstration of the falling prices in the cost of food appeared recently in a store window in a town. in western Connecticut. At one side was a 100 lb. bag of sugar with a card attached reading:

ONE YEAR AGO $30 BOUGHT THIS At the other side was a huge heap of groceries labeled:

TO-DAY $30 BUYS THESE:

LOIS LANG'S rendering in deeply sculptured wood of Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece, "The Last Supper," a beaua beautiful example of the possibilities of this art, is considered one of the finest pieces of wood carving ever executed in this country.

By his training and distinguished artistic achievements, Alois Lang, the sculptor, is eminently fitted to represent and hand down the best traditions of the ecclesiastical art of wood carving from the Old World to the New.

The place of his birth was Oberammergau, Bavaria, famous alike for its Passion Play, and as being for centuries the seat of Europe's greatest wood

carvers.

Coming from a family for generations famous as sculptors in wood, Alois Lang inherited in generous measure the talent of his forefathers. After every advantage both in training and in the following of his profession as wood carver and sculp

up

tor in his own native Oberammergau, including a year's study with the great wood sculptor Fortunato Galli, in Florence, Italy, Alois Lang took his permanent abode in America in 1903 as the head of the Ecclesiastical Art and Wood Carving Department of the American Seating Company. Working under him are some of the most skilled artists of the various schools and periods of wood carving, but Lang's genius guides and inspires them all.

Our studios are equipped to execute any commission in the wood carver's art from render ings such as this "Last Supper", or renderings of other subjects of symbolic significance, to simple and less expensive examples of wood carvinglecterns, baptismal fonts, priedieux, altar seating and pews. As personal gifts to the house of worship, or as memorials, such pieces are most appropriate. The services of Alois Lang and his associates are at your disposal. Call on them freely for suggestions.

AIRPLANE SNOW

BY PAUL V. COLLINS

THAT causes airplane engines to give

W trouble in midair when, before and

after the ascent, they are found in perfect order? Many a flier has lost his life by freaks of engines utterly unexplainable to the experts.

The United States Bureau of Standards, through its Automotive Plant Section, under charge of Mr. Stanwood W. Sparrow (appropriately named), has demonstrated the cause of the fatal phenomenon to be artificially formed t snow, produced between the entrance to the carburetor and the manifold, probably at the throttle, choking the intake T of gas and air.

The vaporization of the gas mixture creates a freezing temperature, which condenses and refrigerates into snow the moisture in the air. This snow accumulates upon the throttle, partially t shutting off the inflow of gas. After the snow has thus piled up there at the in- i take any little jarring of the machine or a change in the air current drops a bit of the snow off of the throttle; it melts, and the passage is suddenly opened for a full flow of gas, causing violent fluctuations of speed of the t engine.

Remedy: Any contrivance which will to heat the air and gas as they pass into the mixer, so that the snow cannot form on the throttle, insures a complete avoidance of this form of trouble. The exhaust can be so arranged as to do this service. An addition of heat sufficient to increase the mixer temperature fortyfive degrees gives, a reasonable guaranty of immunity from this trouble; this causes a power loss of five per cent, but

DIDN'T remember that I had helped any one else to read your pages, though I have tried often enough to do so. However, I am glad enough if I have helped any to take advantage of your offered reduction.

For I need The Outlook, for it voices the vision of a sane mind and the mes-t sage of a warm, prophetic heart that knows God, and, knowing him, is confident even amid present upheavals and disturbances of the ultimate victory of righteousness, truth, and virtue.

When recently you asked for criticism, I did not feel competent for such work, but I gladly take this opportunity to let you know that I value The' Outlook very highly for two reasons: first, because of its clear statements of the issues involved in the political and religious conditions of to-day, and, secondly, for its restatements of the older forms of religious faith and creed. These latter have been of great help and continue to be so; they seem to me to be unique in our American religious journalism and carry on here the work begun by the late "J. B.," of the London "Christian World."

PUBLISHER'S NOTES

URNITURE Movers are slicking up their vans for the big rush of Oc tober the first. And just as the restless keep flitting from one abode to another, so a good many of them keep flitting from one periodical to another. But the time usually comes when one gravitates to the periodical whose atmosphere and architecture, like those of his home, suit him and hold him year after year. It seems that The Outlook is such a publication. There are many names that have been on our subscription books for ten, twenty, and even thirty years. Thousands renew their subscriptions as a matter of course. Some, who have

dropped out as a matter of retrenchment, tell us that they are renewing because they feel lost without The Outlook. A recent letter expresses regret that it appears "only once a week, instead of every day." It seems that

there are many American homes in which this journal has become a family tradition; it is as familiar as the yard and trees and porches, the stairways and the attic, the portraits on the walls, the family plate and inherited linens. It seems that the people who read The Outlook own their homes for the most part. They have ceased flitting from apartment to apartment and from periodical to periodical. They have found themselves and are glad to "stay put."

A

BUFFALO man, reflecting on this tendency to use The Outlook as his "ambassador from everywhere," writes us: "The Outlook is one of the things I do not want to do without. I enjoy the editorials particularly, whether they cover National affairs, a golf tournament, a new play, a billiard match, a balloon ascension, or an international conference-they all seem to be well written, interesting, and informing. For a young man who is busy in an office, and traveling occasionally, and playing golf, and cutting grass, or driving with his family out in the country, The Outlook more than fills the bill."

The Current of Civilization

E

LECTRIC light

electric powerhave become fundamental needs in modern life. With cities and towns growing in number and population and the increasing electrification of indus

try, the opportunity of electric current producers for service and profit has been correspondingly broadened.

The bonds of many such utilities are attractive investments. Over a long period these companies have shown unusual stability of earning power. With the gradual decrease of operating costs, net earnings are increasing.

As an example, for the year ended April 30, 1921, a group of light and power companies which we have selected shows an average increase in net earnings of 10.8% as compared with the calendar year 1920, and an increase of 25.9% as compared with 1919.

Let us give you information regarding bonds of these companies, which we recommend for investment.
