The Points That Determines AT are the points upon which you judge a man in the Prdinaty daily contact with the animal—stranger, acquaintance or old friend. The old friend, of course, you are already familiar with him, sized him up and accepted him and are ready at all times to make allowance for his shortcom- pying optical glass for wur purposes was most serious. In March, 1917, the naval! consulting board made an inquiry and investigation. The) | mattér was placed in the hands of the bureau of. standards in Washington. Between 1914 and 1917 | two experimental companies were making a small quantity for the Canadian government. The total American production was about 2,000 “There has by much comment, both public and private, in this coun- try on the English method of put- t'ng a government in power,” notes the New York Times. “It has been ¢ontrasted with our own, frequently | to the disadvantage cf te latter.

When he enters your office, his carriage and de- jportment {have tyour immediate attentipn. His manner of introducing himself or his business, ‘or acknowledging an introduction by a third party registers your next impression for good or bad. His hand shake is another important item that goes to make up the total. His speech, his voice, the language he employs—all contribute to the final impression unconsciously forming. His ap- preciation of the valuable time he is occupying and his consideration for the privilege granted him are never overlooked by the party of tite first part who is well aware that there are only twenty-four hours in the whole day, and only about a third of them devoted to business. § These are the simple items that either make for a friendship or a future bowing acquaintance. And ‘no person can afford to neglect or overlook a culti- } vation of these few fine points. u H Who cares about having a stranger slouch into { your office, hand you a limp hand, give you a pump thandle shake, and a lot of fresh chatter in a loud voice and wind up by telling you a vile story when he has come upon business that concerns him more than yourself? Nobody. There are a hundred “don'ts” when calling upon a busy man on a busy day. It Is a time to remem- ber the things you have learned in life and apply them. Not the least of these is consideration. Re- verse the situation and act accordingly. No business man but will receive you politely, listen to you and give you the “yes” or “nv.” That having been accomplished, depart and come again by appointment if it is desirable to both parties. Alwz remember that the other fellow has business as well as yourself and it is just as im-| rtant Social affairs do not occur until after business hours. — Steady Improvement. ‘PORTS to the interstate commerce commission Re show that for the first time since November, there are no surplus freight cars. The de ght tran*portation facilities exceeds apacity of the railroads. The postoffice department reports fon the Month of September an increase of 11.5 per cent in postal receipts in fifty selected cities as compared with September, 1921. These cities average 54 per cent of the total postal receipts of the country and are selected because they are typical cities which taken together reflect accurately conditions in industrial, agricultural and business commu- nities, The Department of Labor has just completed its analysis for the month of September. This analysis is based on information gathired from principa’ industrial centers. The report showr that there is increased employment in all but four industrial groups. These four groups are: Liquor and beverages, clay and glass, metal and metal products other than iron and steel, and vehicles for land transportation. The report shows that employment has in- creased in all parts of the country. In New Eng- land, the Middle Atlantic and the Middle Western sta there is a greater demand for industrial kers than there is a supply. In building trades} there is a shortage in the labor supply. In fact,| according to this report, there is a threatened labor} shortage in all parts of the country due to the fact} that more men are employed, for longer hours per| week, than at any time since the war. A report made by the Labor Statistical bureau} for August covering forty-two different industries | and 2,300 eeparate plants shows that in thirty of| the forty-three industries there have been in- creases in the number of employment and in thir. ty-three of the industries there was an increase in} the total payrolls. | These conditions are a very striking contrast to those of March, 1921, when 5,000,000 men ordi narily employed were out of work and had been for many months. It is also in striking contrast j the Carnegie Institute of Washington was ap pealed to for assistance; sources of this laboratory and thereafter the re-| were devoted to optical) glass.’ Three plants were established with gov- jernment funds at first, and under ernment }contracts. Production was increased to 6,000 {pounds per month. }@ success but costly. Throughout the war period and for a year after, the new American Sndustry thrived fairly well; .but 4 1920 and 1921, European manufactur- ers, especially German, began to find a market for their increased capacities, and sent optical glass to this country in large quantities, and at prices with which America manufacturers could not} compete. American optical gtass is as good as any| in the world, but costs more to produce. In 1921} German. wages in optical glass fabtories averaged 95 to $6 a week; in the United States the same labor received 333 to $40 per week. The Underwood tariff admitted all optical glass free of duty. The Forduey-McCumber tariff im- poses a duty of 45 per cent. It was a question whether the new American industry should be sayed and the American employes kept at work ; | or whether the American. factories should close| down and the American wage-earners thrown out of employment. We doubt if any thinking American will claim that the closing down of an industry like this will best serve the interests of the United States. The tariff has saved this industry, kept the employes at work and relieved the cyvuntry of dependence upon any foreign country for the highly useful and necessary article of optical glass. re whi of aE ane ta Failures and Defaults. NOTHER index to the business condition of the country is the decrease of business failures for| the third quarter of the year, the smallest of any| quarter since January. The figures are 5,020 with} liabilities of $116,790,031. This is a more favorable showing, both in num- ber of defaults and amount of indebtedness ‘than}| was made in the second quarter when insolvencies numbered 5,867 and involved $155,703,973. Numer- ically the reduction in the third quarter's failures from those of the second quarter is about 14 per} cent, and the contraction-in the liabilities is 24 per cent. While the country’s business mortality measured by number of defaults still exceeds that of last year, the indebtedness during the third quarter was less than the aggregate reported for the corresponding period 6f 1921. Thus, the num- ber of insolvenci n the third quarter of last year was 4,472 or fewer failures than occurred in the three months just recently ended, but the lia- bilities in thegthird quarter of 1921 were $122,- 699,399, or practically $6,000,000 more than the amount recorded this year. For nine months of 1922, with figures for the third quarter partly es- timated, failures have numbered 18,411 and ‘sup- plied a little more than $490,500,000 of liabilities, American production proved while statistics for a similar period of last year show 13,597 defaults for about $433,400,000, And Why Not? TANLEY BALDWIN, the new chancellor of the British exchequer, has declared that his first duty will be to settle the debt to the United States. It is a very heavy debt, he says, but we are respon- sible for it and are going to.pay it to the Ngee enny. The only question that can arise in the pay- ment of this debt is—why should it not be paid? Britain got the money really from the Amer- ican people. It was a perfectly straight trans- action. She needed the money, had urgent use for it. There was no haggling about interest or when or how the principal would be returned, Our confidence in the borrower! was shown at every step in the transaction. Our confidence is still unshaken. Why so much talk by everybody on the other side about the matter. Britain Is solvent ~ and! honest. Has the money and can get more if she wants it. Then why not Biquidate the American! debt and cease harping about it? In this count the language of finance is accompanied by the clink of the coin, tion. In England a prime miatster | reelgns or is forced out of offica one week and the next his successor takes the reigns of power and orders a gen- | eral election, arranges for the func-| tioning of an entirely new parliament, | and of a new government, aj! within a/ month. Is not’ the contrast between | the two systems somewhat painful for, Americans to contemplate? The speed | ané flexibility of the English political machine is set over against our dil- atory and rigid procedare. “There are, however, some offeet- tng considerations. In England a par- Mament may remain in power for five years without giving the people 2 chance to pronounce a: verdict upon ft. It has been asserted of the partia-| ment chosen in 1918 that it quick! ceased to represent the real opinion «f the people of England. It soon went stale. The coalition government dependid upon its fine brute majority in the house of commons to do what ever it wished, and was appafent'y | able to maintain itself without con-! sulting popular opinion. Tne Amer-| ican congress, on the other hand, can never gO more than two years without learning what the people think through a popular vote balancing advantages in ' ican system which must no: be over. ed in our Sryisional envy of the rit'sh, “Another matter has to do with the stability of the executive. Under the English principle of parliamenary gov- ernment the executjve may disappear overnight. Then time must’ pass, and often period of uncertainty must} be gone through, before anéther ex-} ecutive is firmly: in office. This sure- ly tends in theory, and sometimes} has worked out in practice, to make] the authority of the executive some- what precarious.

In what way has .Europe or the world benefited by it?

Likewise, if there had been no America she might have kept the Philippines. Germany woud have saved all the propaganda money spent here prior to 1917. The established system of things, the State church, 1a@w and order as then understood, might have persisted all over Eyrope up to the present time but for the riotous revolutionary ex- ample of America. On the whole we approve the caim- }ly philosophic suggesticn of the Paris newspaper, that since America: “xisted it was bound to be discovered by somebody, and that in no case is any particular) blame to be attributed te the Genoese navigator. In other words, Columbus is not at the bar on trial, America is. But final judgment | will inevitably be postponed to the Greek Kalends. And then subsequent proceedings wil! interest us no more.
