Examples

“Between the two extremes of college men the unsocial dig⟳ and the flunking swell, lies the majority, who, acknowledging the duty and merit of hard work⟳, see⟳ the value in social and recreative line, but are at somewhat of a loss, seemingly, how to proportionize the time given to the different sides of college life, or how far to allow⟳ themselves to go on the more attractive side.”

“The New Tesstament precepts do need⟳, if not to be re-written, at all events to be interpreted and, as it were, proportionized, before they can be wholesomely and wisely applied to the special needs of our, or any, generation.”

“They come⟳ in regular dress sizes, but are proportionized to tall, medium, and short figures.”

“If a single capitalist sends money abroad where he gets 10 per cent interest⟳, although he could provicde employment within his own⟳ country for a mass of surplus people, he deserves a civic crown from the capitalistic standpoint, since this virtuous bourgeois carries out the law which apportions capital within the world market just as within the walls of a society just in accordance with the rate of profit which particular spheres of production offer⟳, and precisely thereby equalizes the rate of profit and proportionizes production.”
