Is Ability becoming scarce2 2

An address made before the recent convention of the American Economic association by Professor. Henry c. Adams has attracted general attention. In discussing trusts" Professor Adams suggested as the first cause of the growth of industrial combinations an alleged paucity of business ability" and asserted that the development of brains has not kept pace" with the rapid development of the mechanical side of industry The question raised is provoking a spirited discussion, but the consensus of opinion seems to be against the Adams theory. Speaking for the railway industry, the Railway Age insists that a "paucity of business ability" is not found in the great in dustry of transportation, and other trade papers are equally emphatic.
 It seems, indeed, purely fantastic to argue that the multiplicity of trade combinations is because there is 2 lack of individual ability At the outset the argument suggests an inquiry as to when and where this cause began to operate. The organization of business has moved toward larger and larger units of control and supervision ever since the marvellous series of labor sav- ing inventions, which practically began with the spinning jenny and the power loom, signalized the downfall of house. hold industry. Clearly it was rot pau city of business ability" which led those who availed themselves of these early contrivances for making capital to do the work of human enegry, to gather workmen together in factories rather than to leave them in scattered cottages that too often scarcely deserve the name Of novels. Nor was it be- that factories grew larger and indus try became more and more specializ d and localized as men learned to con struct greater and more efficient pro ductive machinery, and the newly ere ated facilities for cheap rail and water transportation heightened the radii of economical distribution. In fact these things were accomplished because di- recting ability had kept pace with in ventive skill. and they could not have happened otherwise. The same stimuli which inaugurated the wonderful me chanicaI progress of the nineteenth century and endowed it with undim.n- ishing virility operated upon those who chose the fields of organization and di- rectiOn in preference to that of mere mechanics.
 Of course. Professor Adams assert ton has the apparent sanction which it de- rives from the fact that relatively fewer men than formerly now occupy position in industry in which they ex- ercise control without direct accounta- bility to official superiors. There are relatively fewer supreme chief execu- tives and relatively more subOrdinates. In other words, ultimate authority is less subdivideG. This fact is not, how ever. inconsistent with a great increase in real directing ability. On the con- tl'ary, # has helped to cause such an increase and serves, in part, to explain

Accuser FaIsifies-Is Purged Of Contempt

The ace Of spades was a snowy white
mark compared to her. When she en-

it was like the approach of midnight.
She weighed a trifie less than a quar-
ter-ton and tripped up the aisle with
the airy tread Of a young elephant.
And her name was Pearl! She admit

With the grace of load of coal de-
scending into a chute she settled her
fairy form on three chairs placed by
the bailiff. The backs of the chairs
bent and the mahogany groaned under
the strain. And her name was Pearl!
In a corner Petro Marino gaZed on

and with admiration. Petro claims that

Pearls countenance twisted itself
like black jelly fish expiring in great
agony. The look she cast on Petro
would have made a weaker man think
he had the ''willies." But Senor Marino
looked upon the living nightmare un-
awed.

don. And her name was Pearl!
A trif1e less lightly than.Venus rising

trash can tell such lies she exclaimed.
'I was jest minding nah own busi-

"Sit down, madame" ordered the
court With sound like thunder roll

settled back into the chairs. Marino de-
clared that while he was chatting with
this bulk of fascination near the Rue
de Hinckley the lady coyly separated
I him from 81 so. An expression of in
dignation and reDroach three yards in
area was on her features as this charge
was made.
"Pll give the lady chance to bring

Mogan.

accused. You're a real german. Every

The case against the petite Mrs. Mar
tineili, who fractured teacup against
her husbands cranium, was dismissed
by Judge Cabaniss. The husband de-
clined to prosecute. 1t was brought out
that the little woman thought her hus-
band intended to strike her. She saw
him first with a teacup. The husband
SAID that she had made mistake and
that he had made another. For once
two wrongs made a right. Everything
was patched UP except the teacup.
Who was the court of arbitration?
asked Judge Cabaniss.

husband. Once more an antediluvian
tradition got it in the neck.
