MERCHANTS START
NO-PROFTT SELLING
TO Aid PRODUCTION
Movement Begun b!
Brooklyn Firm Being
Adopted Elsewhere.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-American
merchants have initiated a system
Of "no-profit" sales to revive indus
try in general and help wipe out
unemployment.
The movement, started by a
Brooklyn concern. is being adopted
throughout the country. it was
learned tonight 1t has already re-
ceived the Endorsement Of public
officials and is being studied by
President Harding's unemployment
conference.
What They Lose and Gain.
Under this new plan merchants
are throwing millions OF dollars
worth of commodities on the mar
ket at exactly the prices the goods
cost them. not even charging FOR
the expense of handling. They say
they are losing hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars in profits, but are
reaping these benefits:
Speeding up industry by necessi-
tating increased production for re-
placement of goods sold.
Decreasing unemployment through
resultant new business for manu-
facturers, in addition to forcing
wholesalers and retailers to use
larger sales forces. -
Restoring confidence in the bust
ness situation.
Bringing large sums Of money
into circulation.
Not Shcpworn Goods
AN important aspect of thes,
'no-proft sales is that they srs
not old goods. bought at high prices
which have lain on the merchants
shelves. but are being purchased
right now for the sole purpose oi
releasing commodities which hay&
clogEed' the country's warehouses
Herman Neaderland. originator oi
the plan. declared tonight
"Of course. IL means that regular
stocks OF merchandise will remair
practically idle while this specia
merchandise is being liquidated
But we feel the emergency need,
Then, too. American merchant
made good profits during the war
why shouldn't they be willing q
share some of these with their Gus
toners and the jobless now?"
Three Hundred New Clerks.
Neaderland is connected with A.
Namm and Son, Brooklyn mer
chants. who were the first to pu
the plan into effect. They pur
chased s50o.0oo worth of new goods
which they will put on sale mex
week and which. they say, will cos
them at least s150.0oo TO move. ex
elusive of the profits they will los
on their older stocks. The conceri
will increase its sales force by a
least 800 persons.
Roy Dickinson. OF Washington
representing the Presidents unem
ployment conference. was in con
sultation with Neaderland today.
United States Senator Calde
wrote the Namm store that he wosl'
like to see this plan adopted b.
merchants all over the country" eN
pressing the belief that IL woul'
stimulate industry and create job
| for the unemployed"
Neaderland said he had receives
wires from merchants throuchou
the country. stating they were abou
to adopt the new plan.

RURAL YOUNG men
MOVING TO CITY
CROWD SCHOOLS
Dean Carusi Declares the
Country Lads Flock to
, City Schools.

What is the explanation for the
enormous increase in the attend
ance upon schools of every char
acter in the United States?"
This question was asked Dean
Charles F. CarusI. of the National
University Law School. and in re-
ply he stated that two factors were
responsible for il. the first being
the movement of the population
from the country with its re-
stricted school facilities to the
cities where well grown boys and
men could engage in Sainful oc-
cupation and at the same time Sc
cure the advantages of an educa-
ton.
The world war" said Dean
Carusi. threw 100000 men into
the Federal military service and
the possibility of the draft caused
another 10000. 900 men to consider
the military service as a pissi-
bility. What will be my status,
This was the question every man
asked himself. Will l be an en-
listed man or will be an officer.'
Men without education at once
had broghtj home to them in very
striking way the relative disadvan-
tage under which the man mus,
always labor who has either beer
deprived of. or who has voluntarily
foregone the opportunity to Sc
cure a good education" declared
Dean Carusi.
Dean Carusi stated that in the
last ten years the number of mer
in colleges alone had increased
FROM 10000 to 100000 and a like
increase Cad taken place. only ex-
pressed in far larger figures. in the
schools that offered opportunity .to
occupied students. After all IL Is
the little red schoolhouse and
what it stands for in American life
and civilization which is the basis
of the greatness and stability OF
our country, he said.

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-The great po-
litical conference which President
Harding has called for Washington
has been hailed from the beginning
with great interest in Germany.
That part dealing with the Pa
cific awakens the lesser, interest
that dealing with disarmament
far more. For, no matter how i'm
portant for the worlds future, a
satisfactory adjustment of the re-
lations between the United States,
Japan and China may be, Germany
has too many domestic troubles and
feels itself fer the moment all too
much excluded from world politics
to have great interest in SO distant
questions
But 1t is quite different with the
disarmament question, also on the
program. This important question
touches European interest and. as
the German people instinctively
feel. concefns Germany itsef, al

Railroad Wages and Rates.

President Harding is seeking to
hasten the readjustment Of railroad
rates. which it Is felt by those most
conversant with thekaituation should
accompany wage reductions. It may
seem anomalous to lower the wages
as a means Of enabling the railroads
to meet the expenses and at the same
time to reduce the income Of the roads
by lowering the rates. As q matter
Of fact, however, 1t is possible to re-
duce both wages and rates and stin
leave the roads in a position to pay
expenses and probably dividends as
well. For the labor cost Of operation
is the highest percentage. The pres
ent problem is to induce the railroad
wage earners to accept the reduction
Of scale which the wage board has
proposed. If they refuse and strike
a most dangerous and damaging situ.
alton will prevail. II they can be per.
suaded that living costs will fall they
would be more disposed to accept the
wage reductions without striking.
Reduction Of the carrying rates, It Is
believed. will quickly operate In 4
lowering Of the cost Of living, already
on the decline. Thus the rates reduc-
ton is quite as important as q factor
in the present railroad equation as the
lessening Of the annual labor charge
Of operation.

The financier who burdens public at
tention with scandals Of private life
cannot escape some accountability for
his influence on public thought. Wealth
renders its possessor conspicuous as
we'll as envied. AZ q means Of ad-
vancing standards Of refinement and
conscience its usefulness may Be in.
estimably great. The assumption that
wealth implies license to defy the
restraints and decencies recognized
as essential to a rational social exist
ence Is pernicious and deserves to be,
as It usually Is, Immediately repudiat-
ed in circles Of financial power as well
as by popular opinion.

The Humanities in Jail.

Not even Mr.. Edison has a livelier
faith in the miraculous powers of
collegiate studies than Chief Justice
Schmidt Of the German supreme court.
When a physician's report on the de-
plorable condition Of a camp for
British prisoners was read to the
tribunal this jurist became greatly
dant of the camp. on trial for mis-
treatment of prisoners. and indig

Washington in Song.

Washington's Music week has been
proceeding according to schedule with
most satisfactory results. The people
have been singing In groups Ill over

provised concert halls. In stores. To
morrow school children win assemble
at the Ellipse south Of the White
House and will give one Of the greatest
outdoor concerts ever held in Wash
ington. This event will be virtually
the climax Of the series, and given
good weather it should be one Of the
most impressive assemblages in the
history Of the capital.
Music week Will not have been worth

The purpose Of this period Of organ
lied and directed vocal music Is to
start the community IN the way Of
musical expression. For several weeks
before the week" itself work was car:
ried on in the development Of leaders.
who, It is hoped. will continue here.
after to conduct their own and pos
dbly other groups in singing, and
perhaps viii themselves train other
leaders.
It Is possible through the utiliza.
ton Of the present organization to
carry on community singing through.
out the year increasingly. It matters
not At Arst much what songs are sung,
though. Of course. the better the music
the higher the results. Through sing.
ing comes the cultivation Of taste. A

It is. Of course, imposdble/to allo-
