Roger Babson Is Quoted;

Detroit. Mdch.I April 25.--Produc-

ter of service rendered by the man

in a message sent by him from

at last nights session of the con-
gress by Lucius c. Shedden.
POTTS Disturbing Factor.
Price fixing, Eabson declared,
will be or no avail If there is in
sufficient production of food and
fuel The statistician said that lack
of personal contact and acquaint-
ance between employers and en-
ployes and too much emphasis upon
profits are the two chief disturb
ing factors in war production. He
said in part:
During peace times. profits
doubtless were the best available
barometer of service: but they are
not so doing war times. Production
is the only barometer of service
now. Our great mistake is that
we have gone so long without dis
covering a means of creating in all
great desire to produce. Fixing
of profits will never create more
food or fuel. II there Is not enough
food or coal produced. what does
it matter what prices are? The
real job before our Chamber of
Commerce and our labor unions is
to discover some incentive which
will give all our employers and all
workers a joy in their work

both capital and labor from now on.
Only under this motto will we keep
away real famines during the COM

IF there Is not enough food to

prices are? Coal prices were fixed
last winter. but the low prices for
coal did not keep us warm.

CONFERENCE AGREES
UPON WOOL PRICES
Rates Charged in July. 1917. Fixed
as Normal Profit.

After long conferences yesterday
between the woll growers and the
price fixing committee, of the War
Industries Board, it was announced
that the government had decided
upon fixing the price of wool the same
as 1t was on July 30 1917.
Walter s. Brookings, chairman of
the committee. came to the figure
after going over the complete pro-
lem of production and manufacture.
The figures will now be submitted to
the manufacturers and they, it is
understood, are generally willing to
take only proper margin of profit
on the finished product to the con-
sumers.
As in the case of steel and coal,
wool will be furnished to the con-
sumer at the same price that it is
given to the government.

CAMP MEIGS BOYS
HAVE their Joe"
He's a Regular Pup That Hates
Dachshunds.

Enlisted men at Camp Meigs had
their hearts gladdened yesterday when
they were presented with an official
mascot in the form of a magnificent
Scotch collie dog by C. G. van Emons,
residing formerly at 1901 East Capitol
street, who contemplates going to
France in some capacity or other.
1t appears that Joe, as the dog is
known. has been a household pet for
some time, and it was his owners de-
sire that the animal should be left in
good care.
In order to be on the safe side, Mr..
van Emons left s. with the Y. NJ. C. A.
secretary with which to renew Joe's
license when it expires. An informal
reception was accorded the new mas
cot last night.
Tonight there will be big patriotic
meeting in the Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium
at Camp Meigs, which will be ad-
dressed by Representative Tom Hefiin,
of Alabama, and Robert o. Kirkwood,
an eloquent Westerner.
Next Sunday morning Senator How
ard Sutherland, of Virginia, will ad-
dress the soldiers of Camp Meigs on
the subject of What Changes the
