smoke obscured somewhat the view of
the submarine commander.
As the log of the TT-20 consists of
technical and nautical terms and a trans
lation into American naval language
would be mostly unintelligible to the
average reader, I will paraphrase parts
of It except those relating to May 6
and May 7. For these were the days
when the U-20 sank three large passen

the reader Is given the words of Schwie

This Coupon Is the Key
to OWNERSHIP in a
PIONEER Industry
FROM the bowels of Necessity
sprang the Linotype, the Add
ing Machine, Fulton’s steamboat and
the Phonograph. Each one under
went a strain of development, arriving at
a point where its value to the world can
not be reckoned. In proportion to the value of each
in terms of public service, so have the rewards been
heaped upon those sharing the inventions until the
mind grows dull in computing the millions of dol
lars.
Nine years ago the ELECTRICAL SCRUBBING
MACHINE was born.

Educating the World
A world, which had known only the
mop and the scrub brush and the "tired
elbow as implements of floor cleaning, at first
greeted with indifference, a MACHINE that
would save its labors. So with the Bteamboat. So
with the addfhg machine. So with all the other
PIONEERING products. From the reign of Nero—
and earlier —a slosh of water and a swirl of the
mop had been sufficient unto the day, and the world
needed education on the SERVICE-VALUE of a
machine that would not only save the labor of
armies of scrub-women, but would also perform
scrubbing duties more nearly PERFECT than any
unaided human agency.
• • •
And so it was taught! In the teach
ing, an electrical scrubbing machine
was developed to exert SIXTY STEADY
POUNDS continuously upon any kind of a
floor service, cutting away with a flexible circular
brush MORE surface dirt than ever haunted the
dreams of a tired scrub woman. There was de
veloped a machine that could be moved into most
any corner and cranny in any kind of a building;
that cleaned floors far more thoroughly than any
human hand, SAVING not only labor but TIME.

“Commander CapL-Lieut. Schwleger.”
Schwieger thus tells or! the start:
“April 30, 1915, 7 a. m.—Pnt to sea from
Emden on long-distance mission to Irish
sea. 10:10-8:30 a. m.—Try a test drive.
12 noon—Steer carefully to avoid sus
pected mine fields. Afternoon spent try
ing out radio equipment and In sending
and receiving messages from H. M. S.
Areona. 8 p. m.—Pass several fishing
boats flying Dutch flag on Doggerbank.”
Schwleger devotes his log for May 1,2,
3, 4 and 5 to accounts of the weather and
his flights from squadrons of patrolling
war craft. He teUs of efforts to attack
merchant ships. On May 4 he was about
to open fire against a vessel, which
turned out to be a neutral—the Swedish
ship Hibernia. On May 5 he sank the
Earl of Latham of Liverpool and turned
the crew adrift in small boats.

Way Tea’s Prepared
Called Main Point
More tea is being consumed in this
country than . ever before.
This was the statement today of A. H.
Brokaw, Indianapolis salesman for the
“Salada” Tea Company. Medical men
point out, he said, that good tea
possesses a stimulating and restorative
effect on the human system.
“It makes all the difference in the
world whether a cup of tea Is rightly or
wrongly made,” said Mr. Brokaw. “There
is only one way to make a cup of good
tea and that Is to scald out a crockery
teapot and while it is warm to put in a
teaspoonful of tea for every two cups.
Pour on fresh boiled water (be sure that
It is bubbling) and allow it to steep for
five to eight minutes. If you follow these
directions you will have delicious tea.”
While Salada tea has just recently
been introduced to the Indianapolis
public, the repeat orders inflicate that
the product is meeting with great favor,
he added.
Thousands Converted
The world has learned its lesson.
Today, thousands of factories, schools,
office buildings, hospitals, hotels and other
great structures from coast to coast are using
and APPROVING the American Scrubbing Equip
ment Company’s wares. These wares include three
types of scrubbing machines and the scouring
powders which are sprayed with clear water be
fore the brushes.

these nine years that the Company can
not meet it on its capitalization. An issue of
20,000 shares of Preferred Stock has been
authorized. The price of each share is $10 —and it
can be. bought on convenient terms! Behind each

est on each share of Preferred Stock the owner of
each share is made by agreement PART OWNER

CO., with full rights to share in all Its earnings.
Stress of business forces this most unusual offer.
Standing and prospective orders demand that more
