greater efficiency were being tried by
some instead of wage reductions.
one line where new tactics are being
developed is in credit deals between the
wholesaler and the retailer. Long
credit on shipments of goods is satis-
factory policy when prices are on the
rise. Then. no matter how long the
merchant takes to sell the goods there
is no danger of his getting less for them
than at the time he bought them, and
so the wholesaler waits on him. But
when prices decline, the stock bought
today from "a wholesaler for $t2 may
bc offered at S1O next month, So the
retailer buys less at a time, and keeps
his stock moving.
From now on. Mr.. Dodd prophcsics.
merchants must get used tn doing bust
ness on a declining price basis instead
of on the ascending basis of the past
few years. I'VE arc experiencing he

followed the Civil War For 80 years
prices slowly fell and a whole genera

that basis of slowly declining prices.
This recurring situation has practi-

few months. People stopped buying in
defiance when prices became ridicu-
lously high. But the buyers strike. So

into economy by unemployment sCares

NICK IS PAID TRIBUTE
New York Writer Compliments His
Clean and Never-0ffensive
WAY of Amusing.

Damon Runyon. writing in the Ne'
York American. pays this tribute
Nick Altrock and his method of enter
tainment:
Years ago Nick Altrock was a
great left-handed pitcher.
Base ball was then a serious bus
mess to him. He was cool, and
crafty, and had plenty of the stuff"
that makes pitching efficiency.
AS far back as 1906 he was
star of a worlds series, fighting
with Comiskey's White Sox against
the Chicago Cubs.
He was noted. aside from his
base ball pitching. as being the
homeliest man in the game.
Like other ball players. Altrock
lost his big league efficiency. He
played for a time in the minors,
refuge of the worn-out big leaguerS.
Presently he could not keep up
even in that company.
1t seemed to be base ball oblivion
for old Nick when Clark Griffith,
humor would not harm the game.
He engaged Nick. ostensibly as a
coach. but really to provide amuse-
ment for the crowds and the play
ers.
In the past few years Altrocks
antics on the coaching lines. and
his queer line of patter, have made
millions laugh.
Men and women are but grown
up children. The child loves the
clown. So Altrock has become the
favorite of all who go to the ball
games to see the Washington club
play.
Base ball is but an entertain
ment. Altrock adds to that enter
tainment His humor is always
clean, never offensive. We could
stand a lot more Of this kind Of
humor in other entertainment than
base ball.
