Bend Man Tells
Of Tiergarten
Berlin's famous Tiergarten,
now reduced to nibble by Allied
bombers and by Russian troops
occupying the city, was once un

When Rath last visited the

laced with lanes and bridle paths,
and numerous signs warned visi

is always the case in German

name of the park indicates that
it must have been planned as a
zoological garden, there were no
animals on the grounds, Rath add
ed. A music pavilion was center
ed on the park.
Michigan Visit
Made by Bend Man
Circuit Judge Clifford Bishop,
of Flint, Mich., recently received
from his brother, Charles Bishop,
of Bend, Oregon, a telephone call
which the Michigan judge pre
sumed was a long distance call, so
Judge Bishop made the best of the
time available by asking ques
tions. Then the Bend man asked:
"Really, Judge, if you are so
interested in my health, why don't
you drop down and see me." Then
Charles Bishop of Bend told his
brother he was calling from a
downtown Flint hotel, about six
blocks from the judge's office.
The two brothers quickly got to
gether. Back in Bend today, Bishop re
ported he also visited his sister,
Tela Skinner, in Linden, Mich. ,
A new liquid Insecticide, claim
ed to be effective in destroying
chewing insects, is a sodium-anti-mony-lacto-phenate
and will be
known as SALP; although poison
ous and toxic, it is relatively safe
and economical.
Gases given off by fires form
one of the major menaces to hu
man life because in addition to
carbon monoxide and dioxide they
may contain nitric oxide from
burn nitrocellulose, hydrogen, sul
fur dioxide, ammonia, or hydro
cyanic acid.

thought there for a minute the
pretty lady in the blue dress at
the White House was going to
make me take off my clothes.
"You're absolutely certain,?"
she asked.
"Yes ma'am," I said. "No scars.
No birthmarks. No nothing."
: She looked me up and she look
ed me .down. "H-m-m-m-m," she
said, jotting down this informa
tion. She took my word for it.
She left my clothes on:
"Just take off your coat," she
said. -
I took it off. I gave her my
mother's first name and my
father's. I told her where I was
born and when. Then 1 told how
old I was in years. She examined
my eyes and took. down their
color; she said she guessed the
best word to describe my hair was
sandy. I said I guessed that
would be fine.
She turned me over to two sec
ret service agents who worked
in shifts, taking my finger prints.
A neat job they did of it, too.
They got all prints of all ten
fingers twice. They took more
prints of both my thumbs and left
me standing nere, all over ink.
They gave me soap to wash my -
! In 1915, this $4,850 touring car was a good automobile
one of the best money could buy. In 1915, Union Oil made a
good line of greases-8 different types "to meet every lubrica
tion need." Today, the lowest-priced cars are far better than
that 1915 touring car. And they sell for about H as much.

better product than his competitors, he could get more business.
So they all kept racking their brains for improvements. Prog
ress, from year to year, was gradual-as it always is. But in 30
years, these combined improvements made a phenomenal total.

2 Today, Union Oil makes 78 different greases for indus
try instead of 8! And their quality is equally superior. This
doesn't mean the car manufacturers and ourselves weren't
doing the best we knew how in 1915. But it does prove the
value of competition.
5 As a result, the American oil and automotive industries
today have completely outstripped the rest of the world. No
monopoly-private or governmental-could have accomplished
as much. For there simply aren't the incentives to better your
product when you already control all the trade.

3 After all, people were quite satisfied with 1915 automo
biles and greases-in 1915. If no improvements had been intro
duced we'd be satisfied with them today. For we'd know of nothing
better to compare them with. But fortunately the manufac
turers weren't satisfied. Not that they were any more idealistic
than the average citizen.
6e So a long as there's still room for improvement in an
industry, the only way to guarantee maximum progress is to
have an economic system that guarantees maximum incentives.
Our American system provides these to a degree no other sys
tem has ever approached.
