Escaped From Hospital

ESCAPED From HOSPITAL
Here in Dayton, they still tell the
story of how Cox. eighteen years ago,
escaped from a hospital.
He had been working day and
night for months trying to put a
rundown newspaper on it's feet and
he had been acting as editor, edi-
tortal writer and business manager.
When the nervous breakdown came
the doctors said he'd have to stay
in the hospital for at least three
weeks. He entered the place on
Sunday.
Early the next Saturday morning
they discovered he had left during
the night. But no trace could be
found of him until about noon, when
he telephoned the superintendent:
"This is Cox speaking" he said
''I'm all right now; TIL not be back"
But Mr.. Cox" pleaded the SUI
perintendent, the doctor says you're
avery sick man."
THAT was before 1 was able to
borrow enough money to meet this
weeks payroll" replied the patient
you'd have nervous breakdown,
too, if you had my payroll to meet
and nothing to meet it with"
Si1enced Els Heckler
In Carroll county, Ohio, where
Democrats are few and far between,
Cox was making political speech
several years ago to crowd COM
posed largely of farmers. When he
mentioned that he himself had been
born and reared on a farm, one Of
his hearers, evidently a jealous Re-
publican, shouted out:
What do you know about mauling
rails"' The crowd, thinking the gov
ernor would have to confess himself
ignorant, laughed uproariously.
The governor insisted that his
questioher come down in front where
all might see him.
Now, my friend" said Cox, "I'll
answer your question by asking you
'glut' is" ' '''N'' --|'0 q
The fellow turned all shades, shift
ed from one foot to another, and ap-
peared speeches..
GO on, now, and tell US what a
'glut' Is" Cox tormented.
The Republican finally stammereG:
Never heard of one"
We'll, I have and I've used one
many time in helping my father
Then addressing the crowd, the gov
ernor asked all who knew what a
l"glut" was to hold up their hand
Quite a number of hands went up
10 "A 'glut,' explained the governor,
drive into the log in splitting it."
He was not again interrupted dur
ing that speech
Was Daring Publisher
AS newspaper publisher, Cox has
always shown great daring.
Twenty years ago some railroad
men, who were trying to build into
Dayton without eliminating grade
crossings, sued him for $425,OO
criminal libel because of the hard
fight his Dayton News had made
against their project.
Under a law at that time, when
criminal libel was alleged. it was
the du:y Of the sheriff to take pos
session of the property unless the

CHICAGO, July determination of
Governor Cox as the Democratic pres

With both candidates of the major
parties unsatisfactory, Mr.. Hinshaw
declared that if the prohibition party
did not nominate a ticket of it's own,
it might cooperate with another
party"
UNLESS these gentlemen come out
openly and decry all liquor support
and announce their purpose OF Veto
ing any measure intended for increas-

as reported by X. G.. Dun & Co, reflect
a continuance of the recent tendency
toward increase in the country's bust

The present returns compare with
GIT defaults for S29,554,288 in Sep

only 463 reverses for $6,871 ,966 of Oc-

close to the lowest point on record
in both number and indebtedness. The
October insolvencies exceed in num-

above LOO, and the Indebtedness is
the heaviest Of all months back to

Altogether there were 327 manufac-

Conservative Element Does
Not Look for ''Too
Much"; Others Predict
An Immediate Recovery

What effect Senator Hardin9's sweep
ing victory would have on business was
the chief topic Of interest in trade
circles here yesterday Although the
most enthusiastic and optimistic con-
fidently predicted an early recovery
from the long pre- election slump, many
OF the more conservative merchants
emphasized the opinion that the pres
ent situation was due to economic
rather than political conditions, and
that "too much" must not be expected
immediately.
= There was no doubt that an i'm
provement in tone could be noted in
the commercial field as detailed re-
turns from Tuesdays balloting re-
vealed the extent of the Republican
landslide. Moreover, bankers and
leaders in industry were outspoken in
welcoming change in admins strat ton.
They felt that n restoration of conf
dence in business would go a long way
toward strengthening fundamental con-
ditions, but there was an undertone of
uncertainty which indicated that mer-
chants were not entirely satisfied that
renewed buying trend might be ex~
pected.
Chief among the arguments put forth
by the conservative element as work
Ing against an immediate trade re-
sumption were the early discounting of
the result and the fact that the change
in administration will not be made for
more than four months. Many believe
that Senator Harding's election has
been so long anticipated it will tend
to reduce possible effects Moreover
many things may happen in the COM
mercial world before the President
elect takes office.
Two important pational issues which
business is closely watching also are a
factor in trade ecovery-namely, labor
and immigration. The stand taken by
the new Administra on immigration
is almost as important in business
way as that on the tariff question, in
which, of course, many industries are
interested. Restoration of higher du-
ties on many classes Of imports, with
the idea of increasing revenue rather
than atfording protection, was predict
ed in many quarters.
On the whole, business in this sec
tion was greatly pleased with the re-
suit of the election and expressed con-
fidence in the incoming Adninistra-
toms ability to reastablish trade on a
firm basis.

mon and preferred. | don't sec the list

paper. Has it good sale on the market i?
which OF tho two preferred is the best to
invest In at tho present time? or are
equipment bonds at this time the safest
to invest in ii. w. NJ
Answer-American Brake Shoe and
Foundry now has as much preferred
stock outstanding as it had both pre-
ferred and common before the recap
italization. The preferred is now lin
tied to 7 per cent, Earnings have been
ample to care for the present preferred
issue. We regard it as a good invest
ment. Westinghouse preferred shares
equally with the common after per
cent. 1t is very inactive. because it is
so closely held 1t is now quoted SCI
to s65, par 500. We regard it as en-
titled to better rating than American
Brake Shoe preferred. We regard
equipment trust bonds as an excellent
form Of investment. Few are entitled
to better ratings.

Pig Iron Production
Continues to Decrease
More Furnaces Closed in Re-
sPonse 20 Decline IN Consump-
tiOE; Prices Fairly Steady

Although pig iron production con-
1inued to show signs Of decreasing,
prices in steel industry remained fair
ly steady during the week, according
to the review Of the situation in The
Iron Age. Thirty-two fewer furnaces
were in blast November ! than a month
previous a falling off that has few
parallels.
PRODUCERS seem inclined to curtail
production rather than to reduce prices
and continue operating. although one
company sold 1000 tons of tank plates
at the Steel Corporations price. Some
independents have made further reduc-
tlon IN sheet prices, but the trend
apparently is to force adherence to con-
tracts, and automobile makers have
met with little success in seeking re-
visions on agreements. Legal action is
discussed.
with decreased production, coke is
more plentiful and another 50 has
come off the price, The Iron Age saws.
Regarding curtailed production, the pa
per continues:
October production Of pig iron held
up we'll. the total being 3,278,1O4 gross
tons, or 105,745 tons day, as against
3 3,l29,323 tons in the thirty days Of Sep
tember, or 104,SlO tons day. Most of
the newly idle furnaces were blown
out in the last ten days, showing the
rapid adjustment Of the industry to the
falling off In demand.
AT various independent plants in
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania con-
siderable numbers Of men are idle
There is no disposition by producers
to accumulate either pig iron or steel
at high costs, in the face Of the pres
ent tendency of prices"
The Iron Trade Review will say to-
day: "An unsettled price condition still
prevails in iron and steel and this is
keeping new buying in check. Con-
sumers, awaiting the restoration of
stability to the market, are pursuing
course Of holding up the shipment OF
much tonnage already on the books and
are placing new orders sparingly. Price
reductions, some of which are of rather
drastic character, are inducing the re-
lease of compare lively little business
and the situation appears to be one Of
general waiting"

Answer-German marks, in our opn-
ion, are a gamble, and so are the bonds,
for principal and interest will be paid
in marks. In the case of the internal
imperial war loans there is likely to be
a reduction of principal. We do not
advise about transactions of this kind.

We cannot say whether it will go higher
or lower.
