The death of Dr. Noguchi, a cour
agvous Japanese scientist, is a great
lo»* to the world.
Backed by the Rockefeller In-
a.itute, Noguchi was a leader in th«
war against disease, and poverty ami
misery born of disease.
Yellow fever killed him at last, ns
he sought for more knowledge in
the African yellow fever regions.
Some bronze burdit on horseback
should give his high place to Noguchi,
whose memory reully deserve* honor.

What everybody kno
table.
For instance, consider the baby
carriage business that C. J. Smith
managed in Milwuakee up to 1887.
Fifty thousand dollars would have
bought it. A. O. Smith inherited it
and made bicycle parts.
In 1004, the A. O. Smith Corpora
tion was formed and L. R. Smith,
grandson of C. J., took charge. His
father put $80,000 and others put
$00,000 more into the corporation.
L. R. Smith did new things, making
frames for automobile*, keeping up
with the times, and ahead of them.
Time passed, and in 1923 J. E.
Uihlein advised this writer and other
friends, "buy stock in the A. O.
Smith Corporation. A very able man,
with new ideas, is running."
The stock sold then at $13 a share.
A little later it sold at $523 a share,
and five shares were given for one.
The baby carriage business that
you could have bought in 1887 for
$50,000, or in 1023 for $1,300,000.
now sells on the Stock Exchange at
$40,000,000.
The ablest American manufactur
ers could learn about mass produc
