‘•CORPORATIONSHAVE NO SOULS”
Handy Tool Made From Spring Steel
Is Helpful In Inserting Transmit
•ion Bands.
Transmission Bands Are
Quite Easy to Assemble
Transmission bands with a detach-
able ear can be more readily assem-
bled with some kind of tool which
wP> pull and guide the bands around
the transmission drums. Such a tool
can be made as shown In the draw-
ing. A piece of steel phonograph
spring, about three feet long, was an-
Lealed, drilled and slotted at one end
with a file, so that It could be at-
tht hed to the projecting studs on the
One end was bent back and
The opposite end was fitted
with a file handle, which was done by
sawing the handle lengthwise and
riveting the spring to it In use, the
threading tool is Inserted from the
left side of the transmission, Is pushed
around the drum, and the transmis-
sion band is hooked into the elongated
slots and pulled down through the
transmission. The tool should be made
so that the natural curve of the
spring will conform to the drum.—

r N THE same sentiment as “the pub-
1 lie be damned.” which, fairly or un-
fairly, is the attitude often attributed
to corporations, we frequently hear
the saying that “Corporations have no
souls.”
Although the words have no alien
sound to American ears, it is in Eng-
land that the saying had its origin, its
first recorded usage being in a famous
lawsuit that was fought in the Eng-
lish courts.
Its authorship is credited to Sir Ed-
ward Coke, who during the proceed-
ings In the case of Sutton's hospital,
is recorded to have said: “They (cor-
porations) cannot commit treason nor
be outlawed nor excommunicated, for
they have no souls.’’ Subsequently
this was affirmed by Lord Thurlow,
who is recorded as having said: “You
never expected justice from a corpora
tlon. did you? They have neither a
soul to lose nor a hndy to wick.”

Ten Timely Safety
Tips for Motorists
Ten timely anti-accident sug-
gestions are contained in a bul-
letin issued by the National
Safety council, which credits
Charles A. Harnett, New York
state commissioner of motor
vehicles, with the following:
1. Look out for children. You
can ne\er tel) what they’ll do,
and jou're always In wrong if
3<>u hit one.
2. Don't pass a standing trol-
’♦ v car. Some day the jury may
’ <un it manslaughter.
3. Don't speed arpund corners
fi r it's a straight route to the
hospital.
4. Drive on the right side of
the road; It’s the only safe side.
5. The fact that you had the
right of way won’t bring any-
body back to life—least of all
jourself. Use discretion.
6. Do not stop Short without
ghing warning. The other fel-
’vw is no mind reader.
7 Do not back up without
•Joking to the rear.
< Do not park or pass on
curve or hill. There’s plenty of
M might road.
9. Slow down when approach-
ing a crossroad,: it is nearb’ as
dangerous as a railroad crossing.
10. Be courteous to other
diivers and traffic officers. Cour-
tesy prevents accidents.
At 21—-David Starr Jordan' Taught
a University Curriculum for
$25 a Week.
«AT TWENTY-ONE without any
xx world’y experience, and Ig-
norant and more or less scornful of
the social duties supposed to be in
cumbent on tutors. I arrived at Lom-
bard college, Galesburg, ‘ III., to begin
my work as professor of natural
science.
“1 worked very hard at Lombard,
did some excellent teaching and de-
veloped a certain degree of enthusi-
asm in the small body of students of
whom there were not over a liunil *d
In the entire collegiate department,
with only'eight in the graduating
class.
“ ‘Natural Sclencq,’ I found, was an
expansible subject. My •chair’ de-
manded classes in zoology, botany, geol-
ogy, mineralogy, chemistry, physics,
political economy, Paley’s ‘Evidences
of Christianity’ and. Incidentally, .Ger-
man and Spanish. 1 also had charge
of weekly •literary exercises’ and in off
hours I served as pitcher of the stu-
dent ball team.
“My salary was $1,300 a year.—David
Starr Jordan.”
TODAY—Mr. Jordan is perhaps
grateful for those multitudinous du
ties of his early days; they gave him
a most extensive experience In the
teaching of the sciences which he has
since utilized to good advantage, for
David Starr Jordan Is one of the
greatest teachers of the natural
sciences that this country has. accoiu
plishing his work both at university
classes and through the medium of
numerous books.
