MACHINE DOES ALGEBRA.
The Hammond Typewriter Company,
1 Mch has local offices at 208 South 11th
street. Is attracting considerable attention
with Its machines which write In several
languages without changing the key
board. For Instance there Is ono machlno
which wrltfH Yiddish, Orcclt nnd Eng
llih. To write Yiddish nnd CJrcck, tho
machine has to go from left to right In
stead of from right to loft. Then, too, the
the machine which enn bo used for
algebra Is causing much comment. Tho
Hammond people clnlm that they have
the only typewriter which does algebra.
The Corona typewriter, which W. L.
rrlckltt, a member of tho firm who Is In
the booth, cnllB "tho typewriter for per
lonal use," Is being Invei-tlgated by hun
dreds of people dally. Tho Corona Is
often lovingly called "tho baby type
tfrlter," bccaURO It Is the smallest at tho
big Business Show and weighs only six
pWnds. It can bo folded up and packed
In 8 grip or a suit case. Mr. rrlckltt de
tlires that It goes all over the world with
the writers of news, becauso It Is easily
carried nnd makes such clean copy.
The winner of tho highest possible
award In tho stencil mnchlno class nt tho
Panama-Pacific Exposition nt San Kran
elsco, the lelenl Stencil Company, Belle
Yille, 111., has a booth at tho exhibit
which has attracted crowds.
"Some peoplo have never oven seen a
itonctl machine." said tho representative
In charge of the booth, "and they aro
much Interested In It. The newest featuro,
which has nover been used before, la tho
alldlng table on which wo place our card
board for tho stenciling." Tho operator
jays that many firms fllo their stencils
and uso them for years.

The prices of wholesale silk aro ad
vancing so steadily that, nceordinff to all
reports, they will soon bo In tho "war
hrlde" class. Not only aro tho prices
J6rted this week much higher than those
of lout, but operators are said to be buy
ing" up a big supply of silk Roods for
future sales nnd a further rise In that line
u predicted. In some cases oven silk
roods are not on tho market. The same
ttory Is told by mill owners, importers,
wholesalers and retailers namely, con
tinued demand. Inadequate supply and
prices which nro undoubtedly "going: up."
The price of Japanese raw silk contin

wunese pongees show a inaikeu increase.

With Only Ten Keys
the Dalton Is the Simplest
and the speediest for adding, subtract
ing, multiplying and dividing with
a perfectly visible listing feature.
Whichever way you operate the
Dalton cithor by the old-style
"sight" method or by "touch"
operation you will find it un
equaled for speed. Tho small,
compact keyboard, with only ten
figure keys, enables tho oper
ator to maintain maximum
speed without trouble or fatigue,
as machine automatically takes
care of numerical order. It en
tirely eliminates tho burden and
eye-strain caused by other
machines. These nro provable
advantages that you will enjoy
only with the Dalton. In these
points it is entirely different
altogether better than any other
calculating machine. A com
parative teat will convince you.

"Peoplo of this nation llttlo realize how
much they have to be proud of In the
achievements of America In the realm of
typewriting; nnd ofllce equipment," con
tinued Mr. Smith. "I hopo nil Phlladcl
phlans realize that under this roof nnd In
this show they have the opportunity of
seeing tho best In the world In ofllce equip
ment and typewriters. I know this Is the
truth and, what Is more, these appliances
are the result of generations of work
tho achievements of the brains of Amer
ica." Mr. Smith raid the typewriter held a
unique place In tho history of tho world.
lie also said that ns the automobile hns
centred about the gasoline engine, and the
aeroplane hns centred about tho gasollno
engine, so the entire field of olllce equip
ment has ccntrod about the typewriter
and, as a result of the Increased speed In
getting out letters, so the rest of the ofllce
equipment haa followed to keep pace.
NEW EFFICIENCY STANDARDS
Mr. Smith nnserted that the American
typewriter, tho American sewing machine
and the American harvesting machine nre
In a class by themselves, and that they
have set new standards In tho world for
efficiency. Mr, Smith held that Americans
have achieved these successes because of
the claes of men who go Into the type
writing business. He says In Europe men
"dally with It." while In America men give
their whole lives nnd brains to the busi
ness, "Americans grow up In the business,"
said Mr Smith; "they do not trlflo with
It. They nro In earnest In this coun
try there Is $65,000,000 Invested In type
writing companies nlone, to say nothing
of the million" In olllce equipment "
Tho typewriter, lie explained, lias gone
through four stages: first tho Invention
Itself, then the adoption of n unlxrr-al
keyboard, next lo make tho writing visible,
nnd It Is now being made so It will last.

yotaJwiy
it behooves you to skin your eyes and approach the matter
with exceeding wariness.
The business of making small, low-priced tractors is
young. But it's popular. More than a hundred concerns
have taken out tractor patents in the last two years.
The infant tractor industry today resembles the infant
automobile industry of a few years ago. Some manufac
turers have rushed into it blindly. Some tractors will do
the work and some will not. Some farmers will suffer.
A man who has no ax to grind has been investigating the
whole tractor situation. He has learned a good deal that
you can profitably learn before you loosen up on your
tractor money. He tells what he learned in a series of
articles The Tractor- and the first appears today in
