Make Them at Home When we read that, a -.aiding to statistics, on h tami'.y spends $25 a year for soft drinks outside : ne home, we realize : very nice saving could be effected by serving these beverages from the h<>me fountain. Almost any pungent syrup from canned or preserved fruit can be tised with a lemon or orange juice base to make wholesome fruit drinks. Malted milk powder added to cold cocoa and well shaken makes excellent chocolate malted milk, -nd the cold cereal beverages can also be combined with cracked ice and milk to make a delicious summer drink. 1 Not one of the drinks suggested cos's more than a few cents to make at home?so in the interest of economy, let's try this scheme of being our own refectory and Bee if it isn't a success. - ?

It seems impossible to describe any of the figures in this presidential campaign, in either party, without i iding in the old "success story" motif?the story of the poor lad who made his own way to the top. Hoover, Smith, Curtis and Robinson, all have biographies of this type; so has Raskob. K ask oh was born in Lockport in 1H7U. The story opens when he was a boy of 20, working as clerk in a pump company there lor $7.50 a week, and helping support his mother, younger brother and two sisters. Like the niaii whose campaign lie is now directing, he was fatherless. basket) wanted more money; $7.50 didn't go far, even in those days, lie | asked for $10 a week. It was re- \ t u.-ed. A mend nad recently moved to Lorn.n. (J., and Kaskob wrote him asking .1 there were any jobs out there. The 1"i ieml lejdied that one I'. S. du head of the street railway company in Lorain, was looking for a secretary. Haskell wrote du Pont and asked for the job. Taking his courage n his hands, he said that he wouU expect to be {laid $1,000 a year. Ife mentioned this to his friends in L<n k-n rt and they agreed he was unit, tine tnousan l do.iars a year' for a boy of 20! 1* was absurd. But?m the tradition of success f tories?Kaskob got the job. He went to Lorain and found that the I'. S. l'u Pont was Pierre Du Pont, scion the famous Du I'm.I family of i 'el a ware. In 1 '."I-, two or three years later, Pierre Uu i'ont and his two cousins, 7 !"d and 1 "leman, acquired the ,-t i < at I .. 1.

The Uc:.Mii'nus corporation, then nun l less in its infancy, was reco.,. o led ? him by a friend a.- a "go...; 11 Kaskon looked into it and -- d. lie bought some stock and pi . uaded Pitrie Du Pont to buy nor--. lYtween them they got G.wuJ sha i is, years passed. In 11)15 came tile expiration of a voting trust under which toe corporation had been updating, and bankers and stockholders got together to reorganize. Then a surprising thing happened. It was fi.urul that the 157,Olio shares of stock represented at the meeting were evenly divided among two opposing factions. The 3,000 shares held by Kaskob and Du Pont, all the balan/e of power. Kaskob and Du Pont were notified. They went to the meeting, and at Raskob's suggestion reached a compromise whereby each of the two original factions was to name seven men for the board of directors with Raskob and Du Pont naming three. Raskob became a director and Du Pont was elected chairman of the board. Thus did Raskcb and the Du Fonts enter General Motors. After the war they got in deeper. Wartime prosperity had rolled up an enormous surplus for the Du Pont de Nemoyrs company. It had to be invested somewhere. Raskob persuaded the directors to buy General Motors stock. They agreed, buying $25,000,000 in one block and an equiu amount a little later. A year or so later they bought a third block of equal size, thus getting for the Du Pont company ownership of 40 to 45 per cent of the corporation. Since that time, it is worth noting, the Du Font company has received in dividends far more than the $76,000,uo0 it invested, while the market value of the stocks is many times the original figure. General Motors rs Raskob's pride and joy. He likes to tell of its progress and of the progress of the men pvho have been associated with it. "They say Carnegie made 80 millionaires over a period of years," he once said. "Well, we made 80 millionaire# in General Motors, in 192S we induced 80 of our senior and junior executives to go into debt to buy General Motors stock. We got them to pledge themselves to buy $08,000,000 worth. That stock is worth $260,000,000 today. All obligations have been paid and every one of those men, even the juniors who f>ut in only $626,000 apiece, are milionaires." * For a giant of the business world, Raakob has received surprisingly lit- j tie personal publicity. His picture has seldom appeared in the paper* before, he is seldom interviewed and the general public knows very little f bout him. Ht makes his home in 'Wilmington. Del., with his wife and their eleven children.
