Tendency to Co Forward"

THE attitude Of the public has pre-
vented retailers from stocking up for
spring business but as retailers more
generally reduce their prices. consum.
ers Will come more heavily into the
market larger orders will result. and
manufacturers can plan production
schedules with reasonable assurance
that prices will not fall lower. Il is
apparent that we are approaching the
point where many manufacturers can
get materials at prices they can afford
to pay, and with lower wages and more
efficient labor, they can furnish goods
at a cost within the consumers reach.
Meanwhile producers. distributors and
consumers are operating for immedln'
needs. with tendency TO take ln
chances and to 60 forward.

Secretary Houston Says That
the Worst Is Now Over

Baltimore, Md, April 3.-David f.
Houston, commenting today on the
second survey Of national conditions,
just completed by the Fidelity and De
posit Company, said: The survey In.
dcateS that the business world is still
feeling its way, but with increasing
confidence and with the conviction that
the worst has passed. The country
has successfully borne the strain
caused by a most notable drop in
prices, particularly of a vast volume
of raw materials, and has weathered a
trying period Of liquidation.
The demand for finished products
has not developed to the point where
our factories feel justified in taking the
requisite quantity of our surplus raw
materials to furnish the necessary re-
lief to their producers but there are
some indications Of change in this
direction. Business men realize that
forced action based on artificial opti-
mism may lead to unwise action, and
produce further embarrassment. The
foreign situation has not shown the
expected improvement, and continued
IA JicfIouItfav ora axnarioncoJ In dicaoy.
ering an effective European market for
our commodities.
This survey does point to certain
favorable domestic conditions. The cost
Of living has apprecably diminished
Building operations In a number OF
districts tend to increase. There have
recently been no strikes of conse-
quence. Greater productivity of labor
per man is reported from all districts.
Raw Materials Plentiful.
Raw materials are plentiful, and
physical transportation conditions are
good. There have been no business
failures Of moment; the crop outlook
is satisfactory, and the banking situa-
tion has improved. 1t is believed that
confidence In business circles is slowly
spreading and that while there is hesi-
fancy the business men of the country
are feeling their way with sound busi-
ness caution, and the country is work
Ing back toward a most stable cond.
ton.
"In undertaking to give business men
u comprehensive and timely picture of
national conditions and public opinion,
the Fidelity and Deposit Company has
once again performed distinct public
service.
What the survey discloses should
be an encouragement TO US all to go
forward with confidence, though not
with recklessness."
More than one thousand representa-.
tiYes Of the Fidelity and Deposit Com
pany gathered the information con
tained in the survey. They obtained
from bankers, manufacturers, business
men and others answers 10 question
naire covering economic, agricultural,
Industrial and general conditions. The
replies were telegraphed TO Baltimore,
where they we're analyzed and tabu'
lated. The review was made in the
same fashion as the company's first
survey published last September.
In preparing the QUESTIONABLE, econ
omlsts. lawyers and many men in pub
lie life were consulted 10 make 1t as
complete and comprehensive as pos
slble. Among those who suggested
questions were: Attorney General
Harry NJ. Daugherty; Senator Reed
smoot; Secretary Of Agriculture Hen
ry c. Wallace; his predecessor, Il. L,
Meredith, and Albert b. Fall, Secretary
OF the Interior.

S'aAN'i VI hNihS'
Excepting New England and the
Rocky Mountain States, building oper-
atoms are increasing. This increase,
however, is nowhere sufficient 10 meet
the demand, and In every part of the
country there Is need for priced
dwellings. But sentiment is not favor
able to building at present prices and
until costs fall to materially lower lev
els the unfavorable attitude toward
building operations on a wider scale
will continue.
Credit Situation Better.
"The credit situation Is improved.
interest rates range from six 10 eight
per cent for the country as a whole,
but banking funds are reported avail
able by every section except the South
and Rocky Mountain regions. 1t should
be noted in this connection that Fed
eral Reserve banks in the South and
West have practically ceased redis-
counting with banks in the Northeast.
Corporate balances everywhere are le-
ported TO have decreased, and this is
one of the unfayorable aspects Of the
present situation. Yet it can be partly
explained by the fact that the growing
purchasing power of the dollar permits
reduction in the size of such ac-
counts.
THE crop outlook IS stated to be
good everywhere, except in the Cen
tral West and on the Pacific Coast,
farmers are reported TO be reducing
their acreage. But this must be taken
with reservations. Such statements
are always common at this time and
frequently turn out to be incorrect. 1t
may be, too, that in certain areas farm
ers are shifting their operations and
working back TO more balanced agri-
culture. The reports from some agri-
cultural sections of farm labor short
age also may need Interpretation. In
not few cases a report or a shortage
may mean that the employers cannot
get labor at their own price; and ii is
| significant that outside Of the farming
communities in the Industrial sections
the reasons assigned for the reported
acreage reductions are low prices OF
farm products, rather than shortage of
money.
"A demand for farms by renters Is
observed in Illinois, Kansas. Missouri,
Nebraska and in the South Atlantic
and Pacific states. Western and South
ern farmers are reported 10 be with
holding payment of bills and the con-
dition of the cattle and sheep raisers
In Kansas, Nebraska and the Rocky
Mountain districts, where there Is q
congestion in wool, Is reported TO be
poor.
Nowhere is there u noticeable
movement Of men TO the farm from the
industrial centers. But this Is not alb
normal or necessarily undesirable.
After all, farming must pay, and in the
long run there will be as many engaged
In farming as will produce the commod-
tiles which the consuming public will
buy at a profitable price.
The housing shortage leads us the
most important local question in the
hundreds OF communities covered by
the Fidelity and Deposit Company's
reports. Unemployment is second and
taxation third. Sections which report
u noticeable increase In crime since
last September are the Middle West,
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast

Mr.. Houston's Comment

Mr.. Houston, formerly Secretary Of
Agriculture, and more recently Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, made his COM
ment after a careful study Of the sur.
vey chart prepared from the tele-
graphic replies. His statement, In
part. follows:
This survey Is suggestive and will
be helpful. At all times information
Of the sort here gathered is valuable
Ii Is particularly SO now, when there
Is still uncertainty In the business
world and leaders are debating the
details Of their Industrial programs
and policies.
while the survey shows that no
section Of the country reports a marked
Increase In Industrial activity and that
manufacturers. distributors aud con-
sumers stlll are proceeding on u short
time basis. this does not mean that
the general Industrial situation has not
improved. The country Is better OF
today than IL was three months ago,
and manufacturers in growing numbers
are planning definite production sched-
ules, .s.....,. ,..t.s..,.,i,- -.
but the public is still restricting its
5uying, and probably will continue to
purchase cautiously until retail price
reductions become more nearly equal
to the reduction In manufacturers and
wholesalers prices. The maintenance
by retailers OF relatively high price
level has been perhaps the chief
stumbling block to qulckened indus.

A. w. w. Woodstock, State Com
mander of the American Legion in
Maryland, in the following open let
ter to the manager of the Atlantic
Division of the Red Cross, praises
the work of the latter organization
in behalf of eX-service men and urges
all members of the Legion to help
the Red Cross Roll Call. the biggest
kind OF c success.
''It gives me great deal of sat
isfaction to be able, as State Com
mander of tho American Legion for
the Department of Maryland, to COM
mend the work OF the American Red
Cross as l have seen it in the past
and to wish it continued success in
it's proposed work for the future. No
one who served in France is unaware
of the unusual work attempted and
planned by the Red Gross for the
American Expeditionary Forces. The
character of the work performed,
here is, in my judgement, the surest
evidence of the character it proposes
to continue here.
The need of such continued aid
from the Red Cross is apparent to
any one who is familiar with the
situation of the ex-service men. They
need in my judgment just such COM
fort and cooperation as the Red
Cross has proved itself able to give.
I commend your work and hold my
self ready to help in every possible
way the great project you are at
tempting. I trust that every mem
Der of the American Legion in Mary
land will give the Local Chapter OF
the Red Cross that aid and comfort
which they SO largely deserve"

The Serious Side

This morning there are thirty
seven patients at the Cambridge
Maryland Hospital. To take care of
these patients there are two trained
nurses and ten student nurses. You
say that only gives them about three
patients each. No! you have forgot
ten that nurses are not able to work
twenty-four hours per day. We will
assume that they work twelve. That
means six patients per nurse. Now
stop and give even that some ser
ious thought. Do you remember
some. sickness in the home where
Mother almost had a nervous break
down because she had to attend one
|patient for a period of two weeks or
; more. Oh, yes it is one of the most
wearisome phases of work. The at
tendant must be optimistic and
come into the sick chamber with a
smile on her face What patient
would stand for any other kind of a
nurse.
Then too the hospital must be pre-
pared to give the service of one or
more nurses at any hour of the day
or night to meet emergencies. And
these come every day; automobile
accidents sbroken limbs, accidents in
the factories, home, etc.
No, the Board of Directors did not
go into the matter of raising fund
to provide decent living quarters for
these unselfish workers before it was
needed. The time has come when
Nurses must be provided with some
Home life if they are to render to a
community the efficient service that
they should. 1t is case of life or
death that their service should be
efficient. A chance to relax, get a
way from the atmosphere of the sick
room and enjoy what every citizen
knows is beyond purchase, happy
home life, is all that they ask. 1t
is up to the citizens of Dorchester
county to say whether this shall be
provided through the success Of this
coming appeal.
Sixty thousand dollars is not an
impossible amount and particularly
so when you remember that no pay
ment is due until July LIST, 1922 and
the remaining payments over a per-
iod of two years. Other communi-

more and what others have done we
of Dorchester county can do.
The citizens of the Districts are
getting their committees under way
in fine shape. Hurlock has a meet
ing of their committee on Thursday
night of this week to get their can
vass under way. Other District COM
mittees are arranging for such meet
ings. No attempt will be made to
hold mass meetings. The canvass
will be made by the committee MEM
bers and team workers by seeing in
dividuals for their pledges.
A number of Cambridge citizens
have already made their pledges in
amounts ranging from 500 to $500,
this as starter on the preliminary
fund. A fine unselfish spirit on the
part of us all will make this great
need a reality Let us rally to
cause so deserving forgetting any
differences of opinion we may have
in the greater service this may mean
to the sick and suffering in the
years to come, some of those may
be those most near and dear to you.
