Expansion
BY HOLLAND

New York, December 14.-(Special. In
formation that is almost confidential is at
this time impaired by executive officers
o. some of our large industrial corpora
tlons to like officers in other corporations
which tends strongly to support the sus-
picion that business is entering upon a
period of sluggishness which may be con-
tinued throughout the winter.
This morning an executive officer of
very large industrial corporation said to
friend that the various plants in the con-
troll of this organization when operated
at their full capacity should be doing a
business of Approximately s500,0OO month
But for the past three months the busi-
ness has averaged not much over $780,
600 month. and a considerable portion of
this Is due to expectations of the prod
uets of this corporation. Unless there be
Improvement by the first of the year. or
the promise of Improvement, it viii be
Inevitable that the plant be operated on
half time. or even less. or else that a
large number of the wage-earners be laid
off
Reports from Chicago tell of general
movement in Industrial circles toward a
reduction of time, or, If that be not ac-
ceptahle to the wage-earners, then an en-
forced laying off of considerable num-
ber of the employees, due wholly TO falling
off In orders.
From New England come not very en-
couraging reports. 1t is recognized that
depreciation in the market value of many
of the securities which are looked upon as
representing distinctivey New England
investments has prevented any consider
able new investment in New England in
securities of any kind. Should there come
a reduction of dividends consequent upon
this impaired business the situation In
New England will probably be character
lied as one of which "hard times" is
properly descriptive
1t is an almost paradoxical condition all
over the country, or at least is so spoken
of In this city. The annual report of the
acting comptroller of the currency gives
strong reasons for confidence in the gen.
eral banking conditions throughout the
United States. Expectations continue to
be heavy, and, in fact, some of our larger
manufacturing corporations look upon in
teinational business of this kind as their
main reliance for the next four or five
nloisths

walls. yet it is not believed here that loans
upon securities of this kind have been
carried to such an extent as to create
suspicion that there may have been undue
expansion of credit Some of those who
have been careful to find out what condi-
tions are throughout the United States are
beginning to wonder whether there may
not be greater danger of oyercapitaliza-
tion of little concerns formerly partner
ships or under individual ownership than
there is danger of overcapitalzation of

guard officers regard It as a distinct COM
pliment. Credit for this recognition ia
believed to be due to the efforts of Gen.
Joseph b. Scully. who has labored untir-
ingly since he became adjutant general to
make proper returns to the government

ceived, as well as to keep In close touch

LESSON II-PART Nv.
Beauty Hygiene for Hot Days

Perspiration on the body. especially on
the feet and hands, sometimes becomes
so excessive that it constitutes disease
In the case of feet that perspire freely
change the stockings every day, bathe
the feet twice day, taking care to dry
them thoroughly. Dust with talcum pow
der. If this is not sufficient apply night
and morning a solution of alcohol and
salicylic acid in the proportion of table
spoon of calicylic acid to quart of. al
cohol. This same treatment can be used
for the hands or the armpits.
While I do not believe in too much
water on the face during the hot days,
/ am a firm advocate Of its free use on
the body. The skin of the face and the
body are not only somewhat different In
structure, but exposed to such different
conditions that the same treatment does
not apply. Perfect physical cleanliness is
necessary, both for health and beauty.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-15

railroads, big business" or public utili-
ties corporations.
/, 1t is frequently spoken of as curious
phase of human nature that store
keeper or small manufacturer who would
be likely If he asked Cor q loan of a few
hundred dollars or $1,000 or $1,000 from
friends or acquaintances to find his re-
quest declined has only to incorporate his
business, issue stock and sell that stock
to friends and acquaintances SO that in
that way he may provide himself with
funds of which he thought himself in
need The aggregate stocks of little busi-
nesses which have been Incorporated all
over the country reaches very large
figure, and sometimes the suspicion is
aroused that Incorporation of this kind is
being overdone or at least the borrowing
of money upon the security of such stock
is oyerdone
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-15
Diet for Hot Weather

I Food during the summer should be con-
fined to that which can he easily digested
and eliminated from the system. Fruit
and the vegetables that grow in abun-
dance represent the food that Nature
points out 10 us, and should be freely
eaten. Sweets clog the digestion even
more in summer than in winter, and [
want my beauty-loving girls to foreswear
them or partake very moderately.
Lemonade and weak iced tea are good
summer drinks, better than the more elab-
crate beverages that pour from the soda
fountain. Wine, beer or any drink with
spirit in it are beauty destroying at any
time, but doubly SO in the summer. For
health's sake and for beauty's sake they
should be forbidden.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-15
Some Reasons Are Political

Undoubtedly some of the reasons for de-
preston of business are political. Every
business man of large experience in this
city with whom it has been possible to
hold conversation upon rhis subject enl-
phatically says that 1t is impossible to
change a tariff law, especially along rad
ical lines, and at practically the same time
to repeal the laws which are established
by the present national banking system
and substitute for them radically diff
ferent banking and currency system with
out causing some hesitation. Business will
not go ahead until it knows exactly what
the conditions created by new laws really
are.
However, that does not fully explain
the recession. The leading bankers
of New York are inclined to think that
1t represents worldwide conditions. and
some of them say that we are suffering
no more in this respect than are other ma
tfons. This statement, reduced to its last
analysis, is to be interpreted by the re-
mark reported to have been made by Sir
George Paish to the effect that the great
commercial nations of the world have
been expanding more rapidly than their
accumulation of new wealth justifies. 1t
is fact that some of our bankers or bus
mess men are of the opinion that period
of enforced economies will in the long run
prove very beneficial. Some of them are
inclined to think that with the opening
of the Panama canal to navigation, and
with the adjustment to business of the
tariff. the banking and currency and the
so-called antitrust legislation, the coun-
try will be in position in the spring to
accept stimulus for renewed industrial
and business activity,

, The Steel Corporation Suit


There are several litigations brought in
the name OF the government against very
large corporations which are charged with
having violated the Sherman law which
1t is thought here, must be judicially de-
termtned before there can be normal busi-
ness conditions throughout the United
States. The referee is still taking testi-
mony in the case of the government
against the United States Steel corpora
ton. Late in the summer it was the hope
both, OF the government and of the execu-
tives of the Steel company that the taking
OF testimony might end by the last OF
December so that early in the winter the
case could be argued before the United
States circuit court. Judgment by that
court is not looked for before autumn Of
next year. Almost all of the testimony
which has ben taken throughout the fall
Is regarded as very favorable to the no.
sition maintained by the United ,,tafes
Steel corporation that 1t does not restrain
trade, that 1t does not suppress competi-
tion or that 1t is not complete or even
a partial monopoly.
Executive officers of independent oo,,-
pan1es one after another have testified
that the United States Steel corporation.
instead of harming the business OF. fnde
pendent companies. has served to steadv
that business Only a day or two ago
Julius Kahn of Detroit, president of a
very large steel company, and interested
also In the steel industry In Canada and
Germany. testified that the United States
Steel corporation had been of the greatest
influence in supporting the general steel
manufacturing industry. The impression
Is very strong In this city that If the cir
cult court finds that the United States
Steel company is not organized or oper-
ated In violation of the Sherman law the
government will not carry the case to
the supreme court. 1t may be that the
Steel corporation In that event will, In CO.
