wages of Ibis employees.
The retailer is keen on pulling down
prices in the wholesale marke4s, yet
he loses no sleep in his efforts to re-
duce his own.
The salaried man, those in the pro-
fessions and the wage Garner are just
yearning for an opportunity to buy
their food, clothing and all of their
other necessities for less money, but
they resist even the suggestion of a
curtailment of their own incomes.
In fact, none of US are exempt,
speaking as class. We are all tarred
with the same brush.
We are perfectly willing. even anx-
ious, to have George do the cutting
and slashing of prices, but when it
comes to hitting the toboggan our
selves we simply can't see it. There
fore, no one sees it--except under the
compulsion of necessity.
Every fellow wants to continue
selling the product of his hands or
his brains at high price, but most of
US have concluded that we will shut
down on spending until prices in 9TH
er lines reach lower level. In other
words, everybody is virtually on q
buying strike against everybody else
but himself.
The result is very little buying
very little demand for production-a
tremendous shrinkage in the demand
for labor
Because of this shrinkage six mil
lions of men are out of employ
ment.
The remedy is in our own hands.
When we are willing to see the
light Of reason and accept general
scaling down of our own prices along
with those of others, the purse
strings of the people will be loosened,
normal buying will be resumed, the
unemployed will be summoned back
to their work, and prosperity will be

TN ali of modern merchandising
i the biggest conundrun is the
fabric tire situation.
Around 1920 of all car owners
use fabric tires.
Their instinct for quality is as
strong and insistent as any one
elSe'S.
Why, then, are they offered
such hodge podge stocks of dis
count tires, "oddlots, seconds,
"retreads" and other so-called
bargains of uncertain origin?
Sooner or later the public al
ways seeks out quality. AS
matter of self protection-iffor
no other reason. The out and-out
opinion in favor of y. S. Fabric
Tires has spread more this year
than it ever did.

Mr.. Stribling is putting his whole

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Helsingfors, l'inland-Most people
are aware that Finland is bi-lingual
.ountry in which two languages, Fin

to many it is not clear in what rela-
'tion these two languages stand to one
another officially and in commercial
and general intercourse. \ clear
answer to this question is given. SO far
Is official use goes. in a new law
.-hich was promulgated by the Fin
nish diet in November last and whose
provisions are now being put into
force.
BY way Of preface TO the new legis-
lation it may he we'll To recall that be-
cial language OF the country and that
officials were not required TO have Il
knowledge of Finnish, though the lat
e" was the language OF more than 50
per cent. Of the Finnish people. An
administrative decree published in
1863 enacted that the courts Of justice
and other public authorities must ac-
cept documents {, in the Finnish Ian
guage. In 1851, it was enacted that
the courts and subordinate authori-
ties should deliver documents in the
language desired by the parties con-
cerncd. Legislation has, since. 1883.
adopted the criterion of the language
of the district" and the courts and
subordinate authorities have been re-
quircd TO deliver documents "in the
guage OF the commune Unless t:ie
other language has been required by
the applicant.
