"Red Hogan" and "Omaha Kid" When a business man installs a vault he likes to know whether it will really defy the skill of the yeggs. He wants to know that before the yeggs get a chance to demonstrate the facts, for there is no telling when a crime wave may break. Manufacturers and insurance companies also need to know the safety-factors of safes, vaults and locking devices which they make and insure. To meet this need Underwriters' Laboratories increased its scientific facilities so that the facts might be discovered before the burglars had a chance. The boys in the picture look and work like real safe crackers but in reality they are engineers attached to Underwriters' Laboratories using the latest yegg methods upon a vault door. Their work determines whether the degree of burglar resistance entitles the device to receive official recognition by Insurance companies thereby reassuring the manufacturer and permitting the owner to enjoy sleep undisturbed by visions of yeggmen in his office. The work of the Laboratories, at Chicago, is described and illustrated in a new book, "A Symbol of Safety," just issued, from which the above illustration is reproduced. Impersonating Auto Thief From "A Symbol of Safety," copyright, 1922 Underwriters Laboratories, Chicago. Many a "locked" automobile has been stolen because the thief carried in his pocket a small hammer and cold chisel. With a few blows he was able to defeat the lock and then make away with the car. Many varieties of locks have been manufactured and offered to the public, but some of these proved to have little value in practical use. Underwriters' Laboratories undertakes to learn the exact degree of dependence that may be placed upon any style of lock that is submitted for its rating. Its experts attack the locks in all of the ways that are employed by thieves. It took the young engineer in the illustration just ten seconds to demonstrate that this "thief proof" auto steering wheel lock presented no real obstacle to the thief. There are, however, a number of types that have proved themselves able to comply with the Laboratories' safety standards. Such locks have been permitted to affix its certificate of quality in the form of labels. As Seen By The Plain NEW BOMBER, GIANT OF THE AIR, READY FOR DUTY The bomber.'

Rockefeller, Sr. Asa Candler, Sr., millionaire coca-cola magnate, is out with a challenge to run John D. Rockefeller a foot race. Candler is a track enthusiast and thinks a couple of "shots of coke" would enable him to outdistance John even though he did burn up the track with his oil. This Tank Didn't Explode This Tank Didn't Explode Until a test was made upon a certain type of visible glass gasoline container, nobody knew whether it would or would not explode, if subjected to exposure to an outside fire. The test shown in the picture was recently made by Underwriters Laboratories, the scientific, non-profit safety research organization at Chicago. The glass was filled with five gallons of gasoline and the pan at the bottom with twenty gallons. The latter was ignited and burned fiercely, the flames licking the glass, but, although the glass was cracked, there was no explosion. This is one of thousands of safety tests made upon all sorts of devices, described in a new book, "A Symbol of Safety," from which the picture is reproduced by permission of the publisher.
