The company, at the same time, was laying off workers and calling on its subsidiaries for financial aid. Although its financial | statement showed a “profit” of $3,781,000 this included a paper dividend of $1,000,- 000 from a subsidiary, which was never paid and was later marked off the books “not an asset.” Such facts speak for themselves, re- vealing that the stockholders of the com- pany were getting neither intelligent leadership, honest accounting nor a square deal. Literally hundreds and thousands of as such cases have been pushed into the open | since the crash that ushered in the late de- pression, affecting almost every activity of the s9-called big business boys. Bad as this is, it is made much worse by the utter failure of the responsible leaders as a class, to protest, reveal or fight such practices and, even now, few come out into the open te condemn them. No wonder the general public keeps its eyes open and waits for evidence that big business has cleaned house and the so- called wizards are ready to accept a code of ethics pected of a decent, social-minded member of modern society.

(Ry Associated Press) JANESVILLE, Wis., May 14.— When, if ever, does an automo- bile trailer become a house? City officials would like to know, because several families are living in trailers which no longer have wheels. Some have telephone and electric service. If they are trailers, they are forbidden by ordinance from re- maining within the city limits. If they are houges, the city requires | * a building permit.

There has been, perhaps, a failure to understand clearly that education is not an end in itself but a means to more complete living for the individual.
