Wellesiey Hills, Mass., Aug. 10—Mr. Babson was interviewed today on the reason why certain mills and factoried in the east are shutting down. He at once replied that our tremendous im-~ ports‘are probably the cause. An ex- amination of the situation shows that these mills which are now uhu!’ng down for one or two days a Week/are those mills which have . thé®keenest competition from Europe. There has been no shut downs of mills and fac- tories which are not subject to Euro- pean competition, Mr. Babson's state- ment is as follows: “The other day my wife returped from Boston where she had been to do some shopping. She had made three purchases: two dozen linen tow- els, some Individual salt containers, and an attractive pen knife, the lat- ter costing but 35 cents. She bought these things at good stores and with- out any speclal reference to prices. That is, she purchased what she want- ed and did no 'shopping around.’ To our great surprise when opening the packages, we found that each towel was labelled with a paper ‘Made in Germany,' that the glass salt containers ‘were labelled ‘Made in Czecho-Slovakia,’” and that the knife came from England. At first thought one would canclude thdt this was largely accidental, but on studying the import figures the reason for this is very evident. “The imports for the first six months of 1923 were $2,095,663,049 compared with only $1,419,407,768 for the first six months of 1922, and only $1,320,476,333 for the first six months of 1921. The first six months of 1914 (before the great world war broke out) our imports were less than one billion dollars. This means that al- though our manufacturing capacity has been increased 30 per cent in the last ten years and consequently our imports should normally decline, yet they are over double what they were before the war and almost treble what they were at times during the war. ‘With the exception of automobiles and new building, purchases are not any greater today than they have been in most previous years;—that is, people have not increased their purchases in such proportion as imports have increased. This therefore means that we are buying today foreign made goods in place of American made goods, “Great imports from abroad must result in less American made goods being purchased and consequently in the shutting down, part time at least, of American mills and factories. .

PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY: IMPORT LESS, SAYS BABSON this continues, it will ultimately re. sult in unemployment in many lines of industry and in many communities. Of course, if we were increasing our exports as our imports increased, this might solve the problem; but our ex- ports have shown a steady decline during the past four years. Although we exported in 1920 goods to the amount of $8,228,016,307, our total ex- ports for the first six months of this year were less than two billion dol- lars. This means that although our manufacturing capacity is greater than ever, we are selling less abroad and buying more from abroad than ever before. “There is a tendency among the farmers to blame the administration for this situation. Although the re- cent congress may be to blame for many things, it certainly is not to blame for our present import situa- tion. The recent congress enacted one of the highest tariffs ever enacted in| history, and did all it could to pre- vent this difficulty which the country is facing today. The higher we put the tariff the harder and longer the | workmen of Europe work. Moreover, we cannot blame them while the masses of this country are living on the fat of the land. The workmen of Europe must either sell goods to America or starve. Of course we could start a campaign over her to buy all American goods, .but such a campaign would be very difficult to put across. The only answer to the problem is that our pedple must work harder and be more efficient in order to balance up the situation. When two jars of water are connected by a tube, the water in the two jars ulti- mately must level. It happens today that the water in the American jar is the higher, and the question before us is whether we will let the water in our own jar fall to the European level, or raise the European level to meet ours. The probable result will be that our level will come down some and their level will'come up to meet us. We must improve our: efficiency while they must increase their pur- chasing power. “The fact that the business index of the Babsonchart has dropped to 6 per cent below normal is largely due to this import situation, which is resulting in the gradual shutting down of our mills and factories. Of course the condition of the American farmer and the inefficiency of labor are also factors in bringing down this index figure. Consldering tie fact that bus- iness was 11 per cent above normal in March of this year, the figure of 6 per cent below normal today is a very abrupt and serious decline.” NEW ENGLAND NOW CONTROLLING GOVT, Administrative Reins Pass Into Hands of Eastern Group Washington, D.

Qver 17 Million Jars Used SEGOND REGORD 1S SET IN SEAPLANE Lieut, Gorton Finishes Day by Going 185.8 Miles an Hour Philadelphia, Aug. 10.—Not satis- fled with the world's record he had established earlier in the day, Lieu- tenant A. W. Gorton of Providence, R. 1., shortly before sundown yester- day again took the air in the sea- plane NW-2 and set “another -new mgirk by attaining an average speed of 185.8 miles an hour. This was 8.3 miles an hour faster than he flew yes- terday morning, when he broke the previous record of 175 miles an hour made a few days ago at Port Wash- ington, N. Y, by Lieut. R. Irvine of Brooklyn. Taking only 17 seconds from the time the plane left its slip to get into the air, Lieutenant Gorton flew . in 50 mile stretches over the Delaware river couse, with the navy yard as his base. Soon it bhecame apparent to those who lined the shore, many of whom had witnessed his earlier rec- ord-breaking flight, that another new mark would be hung up. At no time did Lieutenant Gorton fly higher than 600 or 00 feet above the water. On the straight away the plane averaged an altitude of 50 feet. The NW-2 has a wing spread of only 27 feet and its length over all is 24 feet. It weighs 3,600 pounds, in- cluding the pilot, and has a total wing area of 226 squarc feet. The engine is a T-2 of 700 horsepower. Lieuten- ant Gorton will pilot the NW-2 in the international seaplane Schneider cup race at the Isle of Wight next month. “After the performance of my plane,” he said, “I am confident the United States navy team will bring the Schneider cup to this country. It will be a close race, but-we know what our machines can do, and I believe the navy entries will lead the field.” Besides Licutenant Gorton, the Sm- erican entries in the Isle of Wight race are Lieutenants Irvine, T. W. Wead of Peoria, Ill, and David Rit- tenhouse of Minneapolis. They will leave the Philadelphia navy yard Aug. 18 for England.

His companion, Frank -Campbell a prohibition officer, was robbed of $15. The highwaymen are believed to be the same pair who earlier in the day robbed Raphael Gener, 4758 Sheridan road, of a diamond ring valued at 81,- 200 and $25 as he was putting his ‘automobile into his garage. When he refused to put up his hands they beat him over the head, inflicting a scalp wound. ‘Woman Disposes of Them. in Testa- ment, With Property Philadelphia, Aug. 10—A will whith disposes of the three children of Mrs. Daisy M.

Always Quality First, FAVORS LONG TERMS AS CHECK TO CRINE New York Judge Intimates He Wil Tmpose Severs Penalties New. York, Aug. 10,—The prospect of heavier sentences to check an ap- parent recurrence qf crime was held out by Judge Charles C. Nott, Jr, when in general sessions he sent James E. Wallace, a sallor to Sing Sing from seven to 14 years after ‘Wallace was convicted as one of three men who held up Joseph Schepp, treasurer of the Pittman Trucking company of 29 Front street and stole a payroll of '$4,775. “Two years age,” Judge Nott said, “there was an epidemic of crimes of this nature. Judges of this court at that time checked that crime wave by the imposition of heavy jail sentences on men of your type. “Recently, according to”the news- papers, there has been a recurrence of these crimes and they must be stop- ped at once.” If Wallace had not pieaded guilty and given the name of a companion, who 1s still a fugitive, he would have received the maximuny of the possible sentence, 10 to 20 years, Judge Nott told him. Wallace is 26 and has Hv- ed at 301 Fifty-sixth street, Brooklyn. In the holdup of which Wallace was convicted the robbers tried to get rid of the victim by trying to make him {ake a ride on the subway, and they even dropped a nickel in the turn- stile, thus reducing by 6 cents the profits of the holdup, But to the sub- way crowd it looked as if Wallace really did not want to take that ride, S0 that after he was pushed inside to the platform a hue and ery arose and the three robbers fled down West Broadway and turned - into Thomas WILLS AWAY CHILDREN . street, pursued. by Patrolman Lilien- thal, who, returning their fire, killed one man, never identified. This was on May 5. EASY TO DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR You Can Bring Back Color and Justre With Sage Tea and Sulphur, When you darken your hair with Bage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing . this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trouble- some. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use prep- aration, improved by ‘the addition ot other ingredients called “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You just Qampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears; and, after another application or two, your hair becomes Reautifully dark- ened, glossy and luxuriant. Gray, faded hair, though not dis- || grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all ‘desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. At the time he was held up Schepp was returning to his office from the Fidelity Trust and Safety Deposit company, where he had drawn the $4,775.. While he was going down the Out.
