S. Rukeyser (Covyright. 1926.) | Professors of economics are tiripg of being chided as to why they do not pay large supertaxes. In this worka- day world of ours students of wealth-; getting are asked how much they have acquired. On the other hand, -yve specialists are not asked whether have sore eyes, or cancer e: queried as to whether they have ancer.

Prot. David Friday, economist, who has just returned from Europe, has amassed a profit of $600,000 in the market In the recent bull cycles, ording to reports. When this news gets around, trustees of varlous col- leges are likely to hasten to bid for his services. Prof. Friday's good for- tune, it is understood, sprang from action based on careful statistical re- search.

He intends to convert profits into leisure for writing and is known to be planning a book on gen- eral economics and one on business agriculture, Incidentally, large business corpo- ions and banks have of late been amoring for the s es of compe- tent economists for consultant pur- poses, for present-day trade and finance is t0o complex and complicated for practical man to solve unaided by experts. Among the men who have stepped from the cloistered classroom to the realm of give and take in Wall Street are Walter Stewart, who used to teach economlies at Amherst Col- lege and who is now vice president of the banking house of Case, Pomeroy & Co.; Dr. B. M. Anderson, jr., who gave up the chalr of economics at Harvard University to become econo- mist for the National Bank of Com- merce and who later switched to the Chase National Bank to assume the ume role; Dr. H. A. E. Chandler, who resigned from the teaching staff at Columbia University to succeed Dr. Anderson as economist of the Na- tional Bank of Commerce, and J. Meeker, formerly of Yale University, ho is now economist of the "New York Stock Exchange. Fame Is Far Reaching. The fame of the American econo- mist is reaching around the world. When foreign governments wish to switch from the jazz methods of in- tlationary finance to a sound currency basis, the new fashion is to import an the job. E. W. Kemmerer of the economics faculty of Princeton Uni- versity has successfully performed more misslon of this charac- ter than any other individual. He recently returned from Poland and reported that the country was on the mend. Soon after his return Prof. Kemmerer set out again as the head of a party of experts for Peru and Bollvia, which are the ninth and tenth natlons, respectively, to invite him to reform their finances. He has acted as financial adviser to eight na- tions, Including Mexico, Guatemala, Columbia, Pretoria (South Africa); Singapore, Egypt and Chile. In 1924 he was chief American expert to the Dawes committee which worked un- der the direction of the Reparations Commission. During the academic vear Dr. Kemmerer lectures to col- lege students and during vacations he- comes “healer of ailing treasurfes.” Jeremiah Smith, jr. a graduate of Harvard and practicing lawyer in Boston, after two vears in Hungary, retired as financial dictator this Summer, and, though not a wealthy m: refused to accept a salary. Parker Gilbert, who turned 34 this week, and who one of Sec- retary Mellon’s bright young men in the Treasury, is watching out for the allies’ interests in Germany as agent reparation under the Dawes plan, having succeeded Owen D. Youns. Turning to Americans. The stereotyped comedian on the European vaudeville stage finds at- temps to belittle Americans sure fire material, but, when a really tangled situation develops the Old World governments in increasing numbers turn to Americans, because they have found that they know how. Incidentally, the affluent Dr. Fri- day went to Europe, too, on a private banking mission to study the status of the French franc. He found a wealth of propaganda and sentiment in Paris, but a dearth of statistical data. Accordingly, he went to Berlin to study the franc, aided by the re- searches of Mr. Gilbert's staff. Europe lags far behind the United States in the gathering of unblased itatistical Information regarding pub- lic and private finance. This matter is of great public significance, for the new stability in this country is to a large extent based on the fact that business men have better in- formatlon than ever before concern- current conditions.

Appraising Your Own Worth. Few individuals ask their employers to reduce their salarles, but Owen D. Young, who 1s now one of the best paid executives in the world, asked Presidaut Coffin of the General Elec- tric Co. to reduce his salary when he en on as vice president and 1 counsel. Mr. Young wanted during the experimental period of ad- justing himself to new work to be hat he would be able to earn his He proved that he was able to, and promotions were rapid. He became president and later chairman of the General Electric Co. He now is also chairman of the Radio Cor- poration ot America. | Numerous big business men are of | the opinion that beginners err in placing too much emphasis on initial salaries. Frank A. Vanderlip, former- Iy president of the National City Bank ew York, in discussing this sub- ject with me, said: “My advice to the Young man is to think of service and forget saiary. If he does that, the sal- ary question will take care of itself.” Wisdom in Observation.

In some quarters splaries and wages, like prices, are fixed some- where between the bid and asked price, the bid being what an employer offers to pay and the asked the figure which an applicant suggests as a suitable salary. In backward places, where wages and salary are fixed in accordance with elementary prin- ciples of barter, the prospective work- er should have the gumption to ask enough. He must be a sufficient Jjudge of the market for human serv- ices, however, to know that he is com- peting with other individuals capable of doing the same work, and that his wage is to a large extent fixed by what they are willing to take. If human services, like commodities, are priced too high, they will not find a buyer. Must Choose Vocation. On the other hand, it is the task of- each individual to ferret out the locality and vocation at which his talents and general physical make- up will command the highest price. This adjustment will, of course, be modified by the tastes of individuals, but in general a man is foolish to move ashes at $4 a day if he s capable of earning $25 a day as a musician. The saddest spectacle in modern business life is the man with inflated notions of his own ability. He fre- quently is able to “sell” himself to his wife on his own appraisal of his worth, and she wonders why his ‘“‘extraondinary” talents are not bet- ter appreciated in the business world. He never succeeds because he always feels that he is too good for his pres- ent job. The man who gets ahead, on the other hand, always performs the tasks at hand superbly well, and by his efficlency and skill wins the confidence of his superiors, who pro- mote him. Overconfidence frequently leads bu# to a fall, but a man without confi- dence in himself cannot expect to in- spire it in others.

BRANDON, Vt., October 16.—The eighth annual 300-mile endurance ride, designed to stimulate interest in the breeding of good saddle horses, ended here last night with 6 horses out of a starting fleld of 14 completing the course with perfect scores. Seven mounts set out to cover the fifth and last day’s ride of 60 miles this morning, but at the forty-fifth mile, Blue Bell of the Army remount service was forced to drop out through exhaustion. Peggy, a bay mare entered by the 3d Cavalry, and winner of the last two tests, was slower than usual vesterday, Critics believed the horse was affected by a fall Thursday. Today the horses will be judged for winners. The judging is based 60 per cent on condition at the end of=the race and 40 per cent on speed. PALMER NEW PRESIDENT OF LYON PARK LEAGUE Parent-Teacher Meeting Delayed by Missing Key of School. and Held at Billmyer Home. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. LYON PARK, Va. October 16.— After some delay due to inability to locate the key to the school the regu- lar meeting of the Parent-Teacher League of the school was held last night at the home of Mrs. Billmyer, one of the members. Mrs. Moffett, vice president, presided in the absence of M. N. Fisher, president. Mr. Dewey, in his report of the committee appointed to meet with similar committees from the Clvic Assoclation and the Wom- an’s Club to select a suitable name for the school, stated that he had been un- able to hold a meeting, and moved that the league again forward to the school board as the choice of the or- ganization the names ‘“Pocahontas” and “Henry Clay.” The motion car- ried. Need for first aid equipment in the school was stressed by Mrs. Nise- wander. On motion of Mr. Folsom a committee of two was authorized to investigate the cost. Mrs. Nisewan- der and Mrs. Folsom were appointed. Mrs. Nisewander, Mrs. Woodward and Mrs. Bohrer were chosen as a com- mittee to hold a bake sale in the near future. J. W. Palmer was elected president, F. P. Dewey vice president and R. E. Nisewander , secretary-treasurer. The incoming president, with two other members, was intrusted with the duty of investigating and reporting back to the league the advisability of af- fillating with the County League or with one of the State organizations. Dr. Chichester, health officer of the county, gave a short address on “Health.” He said that many of the deaths in later life from heart and kidney trouble were induced by earlier attacks of communicable diseases. Car Repairer Is Killed. Special Dispatch to The Star.

HIGH RECORD SET IN POWER DEMAND Gain in Consumption of Gas Also Is Remarkable—Coal Situation Is Better. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, October 16.—The de- mand on electric light and power companies for current is now at the highest point ever reached. So far this year the volume of electrical energy bought and pald for. has ex- ceeded all previous periods of simi- lar length by from 12 to 15 per cent. This shows definitely just what situ- ation of stability industry and trade in this country have reached. Do- mestic lighting represents a fairly dependable demand. It is due to in- crease, with the shortening of the days, up to the holiday period. But the main gain in volume of current used has been represented by con- sumption for industrial and domestic power uses. The electric light and power com- panies are conspicuously prosperous. Net earnings have increased even faster than has gross power produc- tion. This has been made possible by the consolidation of smaller com- panies and cutting of overhead costs. The general trend was exemplified in the past week by the sale of the Hor- tonia Power Co. of Middleburg, Vt, to the Insull interests of Chicago, which are building up a remarkable chain of power companies in many sections of the country. Gas Consumption Gains. Gain in the consumption of manu- factured gas also has been remark- aole. Consumption for the year is expected to exceed that for 1925 by at least 20,000,000,000 cubic feet. Net revenues of the gas companies are rising even more rapidly than pro- duction. Gas refrigeration for the home is expected to add materially to the volume of gas consumed in the next year. The traction companies, while they have not shown the gains cited by the electric and gas utilities, have made decided improvement in condition. The earnings of most traction companies since they have ceased to fight the bus and adopted it have been the best in 10 years. This has been due to modernization of equipment, which has cut operating costs of the princi- pal systems over 6 cents a mile. In some cases companies are receiving higher fares. An advance of 1 cent in the fare of all lines of the Cleve- land Railway Co. went into effect Fri- day. The rate of fare in Cleveland is based on a sliding scale depending on the interest fund of the company. Automobile factory activity is con- tinuing at a high rate. A slight de- cline in sales volume is expected shortly, as a regular seasonal occur- rence. Steel and iron Interests may appeal to the next sesslon of Congress high tariff on steel from foreign as a result of recent deliveries of German products at prices $10 a ton under the American quotations. Pay rolls in the Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Youngstown, Birmingham, Chicago and Pueblo steel districts are good and reflect trade activity in practically all lines of steel products. Coal Situation Better. The coal situation in Pennsylvania is better than it was a year ago. Pay rolls of western PennSylvania mines in the last three months have shown a gain of $648,000 as com- pared with the corresponding period of last year. Lumber and other building materials are being produced at a uniform level of high activity. The lumber movement is a trifle larger than at this time last year. Bullding construction contracts con- tinued to show an improvement over October records of 1925, Farm conditions have not shown the betterment that was hoped for them. This is particularly true of cotton. It remains to be seen what effect the move to induce growers to hold their cotton until well into 1927 and to reduce acreage will have, A reduction of acreage undoubtedly would have a distinct effect on the chemical and fertilizer market. In. dustrial chemicals now are strong with incomes for most of the com. panies engaged at a higher point than at any time since the war.

Along the course to Calvary, which he took in order to redeem his people, are found great victories and great de- feats, but all of them creative with the fecund mystery of faith; of that kind of faith that lights the world and fills it with apostles, martyrs and teachers. Let us not dwell, however, on the viclssitudes of his power, but rather on that decisive moment when he cast upon the 14 Spanish banners, arranged like a triumphal arch, the same magnetic glance which Au- gereau saw in the eyes of Napoleon before the Italian victories; the same eplc gesture which Bonaparte fmmor- tallzed in the marshes of Arcola. And then, too, let us remember his great ideal—the Congress of Panama, cele- brated in 1826, which aspired to re- peat the Corinthian Amphictyony, the Germanic Confederation. Let us never forget his dream of the union of the American peoples; of an America, great, strong and powerful. For while this dream failed of practical political realization, it still lives on in the domain of culture. On the shoulders of Europe heavily rests the burden of a gigantic strug- gle. Before Furope, prostrate ever: where, we hear the prophetic c “Europe is on the decline.” Whether true or false, as a fact, it is bio- logically Inescapable. And face to face with the danger of the Orient, the younger nations of the West, created and inspired by its ancient mistress, but now possessing an energy denied to her, will grasp the torch in the hope that a future Athens may spring up in_our midst. And for this there is a natural rea- son. Europe, as well as other nation8, has fulfilled her historic mission, has rounded cut her character, her per- sonality and her universal destin Some ‘already belong to yesterday others are slipping into twiiight. But ours are the nations of the d We are a youthful people struggling for power ‘and personality and precisely because we lack these things are we able to grasp and give new orienta- tion to the lessons of other nations and other peoples. We are not of the present, but of the future. Ours is to be a spiritual age, not military or commercial. Not Carthage, not even Rome, but a Greece of tomorrow. For this task there remains a sturdy race, that is already gathering the harvest, free from the vice that is undermining the large modern cities; that is able to save those worth-while things, on the point of being lost through the moral upheaval caused by the war in Europe, which has neither fundamentally changed the world situation, nor even prevented the pos- sibility of another war. The lack of prejudice and created interests will allow our race to achleve the triumph, not of nationalism, but of humanity, because the people are collectively ‘common factors in a com- mon work. For this reason we would praise Bolivar,not only as the liberator, but as the founder of this sentiment of spiritual union. For this reason, whenever we think of him, we affirm our faith in culture before civilization; have visions of Greece before Romej of Don Quixote before Sancho Panza; of Arlel before Caliban, and while we touch the dust with feathery plume in the gay and generous spirit of Cyrano, or link by link we weav SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1926. chain of stoicism after the manner of Cuahutemoc, always hope hovers on our lips as we utter our daily prayer: May the eternal spirit speak through and for my race! e PSYCHOLOGIST URGES TEACHING BY QUERIES Tells Knights of Round Table Science Can Eliminate In- dustrial Misfits. Application of psychological tests in employing men is dolng away Wwith misfits in industry, Dr. Jelian Pen- nington told the Loyal Knights of the Round Table at a luncheon in the Uni- versity Club yesterday. The questions asked in the tests mean nothing in themselves, said Dr. Pennington, but stated through the reactions of the person of whom the questions are asked the psychologist learns what he wants to know, he ex- plained. “By the process of elimina- tion, or finding out what a man can- not do, we are enabled to find out what he can do,” the speaker ampli- fled. Dr. Pennington told of his work in this ifne in Birmingham, Ala., and he urged parents to teach their children by asking them questions to make them think, explaining that things learned by that method stick, while modern psychology has proved that 90 per cent of what simply is told a person is not retained.

With election day drawing near, Republican and Democratio leaders in the Senate are waging a lively war of words over the varlous issues of the campaign. Senator Phipps of Colorado, chair- man of the Republican senatorial committee, in a statement last night, charged Democratic leaders with be- littling the country in order to avoid admitting what the Republican party has accomplished. In a statement also fissued last night Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic floor leader, asserts the Republicans “howl prosperity” when- ever their record is challenged. Side Attack on Wayne Wheeler. While these two leaders were dis* cussing the campaign from a na- tional standpoint, Senator Edwards, Democrat, of New Jersey, launched a side attack on Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, for having indorsed the can- didacy of Frank L. Smith for the Senate from Illinois. Senator Phipps insisted that any voter who would consult business statistics and Government reports would find that never in history has there been the same extent of Ameri- can production, employment at high rates of wages, and sales both at home and abroad. Answering Democratic demands for further tax reduction at this time, Senator hipps sai¢ that “after the great reductions in national taxation following Democratic increases which were the result of waste as well as ‘war, it tells the people it is the party of tax reduction.” Robinson Goes.on Tour, Senator Robinson issued his state ment just before leaving on a speak ing tour that will carry him finto a chain of States extending across the country. “Republican versatility in shifting responsibility for failure of farm re- liet legislation and in changing cam- paign slogans is both amazing and amusing,” said Senator Robinson Senator Robinson then listed a num ber of the issues he believes are in volved in the campaign.
