BUSINESS STABLE
DESPITE STRIKE

Acute Coal Situation in

Business has shown remarkable
stability during "a coal strike which

foundations and gave promise Of
producing Industrial stagnation as
the sole alternative to government
Intervention Retail trade has not
been seriously affected except at a
few coal mining centers and in
strike-ridden communities like New
York city. The coal supply is fair
IT, ample for immediate needs. but
will not last indefinitely Many fac
tories have turned from Dituminous
10 anthracite coal where their facli-
ties permitted them 20 do so.
Curtailment OF production as "a re-
suit Of the coal strike will increase
later demand and have a strength
ening effect on prices Should the
miners win their wage increase. or
any considera Die part OF H. the cost
- living would be affected in a hun

nearly all industrial production
would rise. This was revealed when
the price OF coal in Great Britain
advanced recently.

The current wave OF speculation,
which it believes has invaded not

markets. oil production. mining. and

\ Definite Program.

With a definite program before a
body and with the proper coopera-
ton of the body itself anything is
possible that is within reason. With
out a program to work from. nothing
but current matters and routine can
be expected to come out of any in
stitution's endeayors
\ corporation that is successful
has a program of work set up for
the following year and often for q
number of years ahead. II has work
ed out the quantity of production
that it can safely produce and dis
pose Of and has also set up its bud
get for that specified time. 1t ac-
tually has something definite to work
towards and with that view in sight
is sure of success if il functions as
it should.
The Chamber of Commerce of
South Bend has recently stepped in
TO the successful class with corpora
lions that have programs that they
endeavor to carry out. As in the
corporation if the head is not strong
enough 20 direct matters properly
and if the products given the public
are not up TO standard or there is
not proper cooperation. failure is
expected. The same is true of the
commercial body. The head of the
organization must see that matters
function properly but without proper
cooperation on the part of the cor
porate body the right kind of prod
uce cannot be expected
Cooperation Necessary.
Every man interested in the cor
poration. whether he be an official or
laborer must work In harmony
with his fellow man or the best can
not be attained. If every member
of the commercial body does not do
that work assigned him the body
cannot do everything within IFS pow
or. since proper cooperation is an
absolute necessity
With "a definite program OF work
before the body, "a budget set up TO
work from and harmony working
among the members things that seem
impossible or far in the distance can
I be accomplished. The organization
must be democratic from the begin
ming If success is to be attained and
/ the membership itself must be the
working factors of the institution.
The south Bend Chamber Of Com
merce has. at the present time a
definite program Of work set up for

traffic suffered as a consequence.
There were more chapeaus of the
hard boiled variety there than ever
seen before. The appearance OF two
canes almost blocked traffic until
their owners awoke to the attention

discarded them. The appearance OF

RELATING TO
REQUIREMENTS FOR
ENTRANCE TO j. S. N. A.

There are two ways of obtaining an
appointment to the L. s. Naval
Academy. First, by obtaining an APP
pointment from a Senator or Repre-
sentative from your state. Second, by
enlisting in the Navy and obtaining
one of the 100 appointments given
each year to enlisted men, OF course,
10 obtain the latter you must stand
within the 100 highest candidates who
take the examination. About fifty
men take advantage of this privilege
each year In case more than 100
pass the examinations, the number
of appointments will most surely be
raised
The present course at the Naval
Academy is four years, during which
time the following studies are pur-
sued: Mathematics, languages, ply
sizes and chemistry steam engineer
ling, ordinance, navigation, seaman
ship, mechanical drawing, and be-
sides a great deal of practical work
as machinist. etc.
A young man before he can be-
come a commissioned officer in the
Navy, must not only have the theor-
etical knowledge, but must be ac-
tually able to do the work himself
besides being able to direct and lead
his men.
The above principle is applied to
the physical development as well as
| the mental and midshipmen must
take an active part in athletics Of all
descriptions, as we'll as being given
very systematic course of physical
development.
