greater efficiency and reduce costs.
It has been the fixed policy of the
Timken-Detroit Axle Company to
have at least two sources of supply
for all of its requirements and in most
cases one source to be its own fac-
tories, the exceptions being raw ma-
terials and Timken Roller Bearings.
The Timken Roller Bearing Company
is now operating two separate and
distinct factories to provide insurance
against accident at one of them.
The officers and directors of the
corporation are as follows: H. H.
Timken, chairman; A. R. Demory,
President; H. \V. Alden, Vice-Presi-
dust, Fred Glover, Vice-President and
General Manager; C. W. Dickerson,
Vice-President and Secretary; C. G.
Rowlette, Treasurer and Assistant
Secretary; W. It. Timken, Austin

The realization of a long cherished
hope of the congregation of Eutaw
Place Temple, Baltimore, Md., for the
erection of a synagogue house in
which to conduct its social and com-
munity activities was given tangible
expression recently, when, at a meet-
ing held in the synagogue parlors,
more than $58,000 was subscribed to
ward the new building. The new
building, which will soon rise ad-
joining the synagogue at Eutaw l•
Place, will be three stories high and
will cost in the neighborhood oil
$200,000.
