PAY RAES WON | BYBIGEXECUTVES Most Corporation Salaries, However, Remain at 1933 Level. (Copyright. 1935, by the Associated Press.) How the pay of many big corpora- tion executives rose last year is shown | by their reports to the Federal Trade and Securities Commissions. | For example, Francis B. Davis, chairman of the United States Rub. ber Co., got $125,000 last year, com pared with $107,550 in 1932. J. D. A.| Morrow, president of the Pmsburgh’ Coal Co., received $74440 last year | sand $30,780 two years before. | The figures were too few to give a definite indication of the trend throughout the thousands of Ameri- | can corporations, ,officials said. In some cases chan| in official ca- pacity—promotions, demotions or | resignations—probably accounted for changes. Most salaries and other compensa- tion reported to the commission were maintained in 1934 at the 1932-33 rate, although in a few cases there were declines. James H. Rand, jr., president of Remington-Rand, Inc, received a boost in compensation from $76,128 | in 1932 to $94,120 in 1934, but George | Horace Lorimer, editor of the Satur- | day Evening Post, got $100,000 in 1934, against $118,750 in 1932. The earnings of Willlam E. Levis, Alton, 111, president of Owens-Illinois Glass Co., increased from $59,166 in 1932 to | $100,000 in 1934. Cixurch Tea Thursday.

The Japanese feel tenderly about her because, they say, although she was one of the most beautiful women that ever lived in Japan, she was too proud to marry, and so she was very sad in her old age. These are the dolls that are pre- scribed for the girls’ festival. Cherry blossoms are the symbol. The boys’ festival, that comes in May, is less formal. Warriors with pointed bows, sharp arrows and glistening swords, sit on the shelves and always there is Benkel, the Robin Hood of Japan. The flower of this festival is the iris. ‘When & child is born in Japan the parents begin collecting dolls. Every year they get either a doll or a piece of furniture. The collection goes down from the mother to the eldest daugh- ter, so that in old and wealthy fami- les the dolls date back 400 or 500 years. No ane knows when this custom started. Some believe it originated in primitive times, with the dolls sym- bolizing the relationship between mother and child. Others say that once upon & time the favorite prince died and the royal father and mother | were so unhappy they had a dolls’ fes- tival to console themselvesy Still | others think that it began with the languid ladies of the court in the ninth or tenth centuries, who, to amuse themselves, made dolls, and then de- cided to exhibit them. Ever since, on the 3d of March, | the children of Ambassador and Mme. | Saito have brought their schoolmates into the severe and beautiful room of the embassy, where, on red-draped shelves the dolls are perched.
