...such remote scientific knowledge, as the special problem just mentioned has established, be of any practical use? Who can tell? Many years elapsed before Faraday's electrical experiments bore fruit in a practical electric lighting system and in the trolley car. The laws of nature can not be intelligently applied until they are understood. To understand them, however, many experiments bearing upon the fundamental nature of things must be made, and the unknown laws underlying the nature of elements are among the most fundamental of these laws of nature...

Motor car manufactures have considerable stocks of raw materials, and a careful study of the markets by their experts has foretold a slump in these markets. Shrewd business sense has therefore dictated the policy of unloading the present inventory of raw material quickly, and at a loss if need be, in order...
This situation does not strike so severely a number of very widely advertised cars whose makers were not unwilling to take advantage of the heavy demand to inflate prices far in excess of any economic justification. Such organizations are now philanthropically paying the way to lower car costs by the simple expedient of knocking off a few hundred dollars worth of frosting, leaving for themselves a cake that would still delight any moderately conscientious business man and still allowing the dear public to pay, for the privilege of purchasing their product, an advertising cost said to run from...
