Walter D. Hunter, 22 years old,
a young Pittsburg graduate of a
school of mechanical engineering,
went to Chicago to seek his fortune
He was a mechanical genius like
the character of fiction who con
structed the Frankenstein monster,
Young Hunter invented an improved
suction device for ice-making ma
chinery. He took it to Armour &
Co., and they installed it.
One portion of the machine ter
minated in an eight-inch vacuum
pipe on the roof of the ice-making
plant. This pipe had a suction
pressure of 780 pounds to the square
inch. It was used to draw large
quantities uf water a great distance
to the ammonia machines that con

veiled the fluid into ice cakes.

A few days ago the pipe became

knew of its power, its weaknesses.

Alone on the roof, the young in

mouth of the mechanical monster.

The suction drew him into the

machine. Hts right leg was drawn

a dozen holes in the leg where the
blood had been drawn from the
bursting arteries. The body was
•shrunken to half its normal size
•and weight.
When the four men stumbled
•across the lifeless form they sought
to carry it from the roof. Their
combined strength was insufficient
to ten the victim tiom the grasp of
the vampire pipe.
So they smashed the machine and
it gave up its victim.
There is no sweetness to this
tale. Yet there is much of awe
much that may be learned from it.
What were the thoughts of that
young man alone on the roof in the
death grasp of the implement that
he had devised?
What must have been his feeling
when he suddenly realized that he
had devoted a life study, ingenuity
patience and labor to the building
up of a device for the cncompass
ment of his own destruction? The
inventor died, but the machine
will still live on.
Then, and then only, did he
comprehend the infinitesimal val

of the range, the user of water and
other users of forest resources.
Third, it is shown how the forests
are intended for use, for the produc

establishment and maintenance ol
homes; how on all of them the
timber is protected from fire, the
water flow is kept steady, the for

guarded from abuse; and how, in
addition, they serve as great public

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is the ideal summer drink.
Cooling, satisfying and refreshing, it adds to the enjoyment
of the outdoor luncheon for it is a food as well as a drink.
Pabst brews for food qualities as well as for purity and
flavor. Pabst found the only way to get all of the food-values
out of the barley-grain was to follow Nature in making the
malt, by growing it slowly and scientifically, and he there
fore perfected the Pabst Eight-Day Malting Process. Pabst
Malt is richer in nutriment than other malts.

is a more healthful, wholesome food than other beers. The Pabst
Perfect Brewing Process blends the rich food values of Pabst Malt*
with the tonic properties of the choicest hops under con
ditions that insure positive purity, while reducing the
percentage of alcohol to the minimum—less than 3/4%.
Pabst Blue Ribbon is the ideal family beer, because
of its food values, its purity and its remarkably small
amount of alcohol, making it a truly temperance drink.
