...national debt. The effect of such huge purchases was stupendous. Of the whole period, 1916 was the bonanza high point; common stocks of sixty-eight major U. S. industrials paid a total of $724,900,000 to investors during that year. Du Pont, Hercules Powder Co., Remington Arms, Savage, and Winchester Arms all got big Allied orders for munitions. U. S. Steel converted a deficit of $1,700,000 before common dividends in 1914 to a net for common of $50,600,000 in 1915 and $246,300,000 in 1916. Copper went to 28? a pound...

...would be utterly useless to recommend the enactment of a parietal rule abolishing electric razors. The lobby of Messrs. Shick, Remington, Rand, and Sunbeam et al, would forestall that measure. Nor is it possible to require suppressors on all razors, for such regimentation is obviously impossible. Better to suppress the shavers themselves. Careful consideration, however, leads but to one conclusion; owners of electric razors must to all costs read their daily radio programs with great care.
