A luncheon of cloth- ing folk took place at the Pennsylvania H o f e l, New York, to which l was invited and asked to talk to the boys.
 My talk dealt mainly with a retailer's honesty in dealing with the pub lic-selling good mer- chandise at fair prices, giving full service and building trade on the Golden Rule plan.
 Jim" sought me out after the luncheon and told me frankly that what l had said repre- sented his sentiments that he was trying his level best to build a bus mess that would serve customers so we'll that they would always come back and boost.
 During this two-year period, Jim" has sent me from time to time a lot of interesting facts about his business, and wanted me to know how pleased he was with the support the people of Connecticut were giving him in the four stores which he and Joe" Hal Ioran of New Britain now operate - two in Bridgeport, one in New Britain and one in Hart ford.
 Our chance meeting of two years ago has de- veloped between us a strong personal friend- ship 1 believe 100 per cent in Jim" and he says he believes 100 per cent in me.
 About a month ago,
 "Jim" came to New
 York to talk over
 with me his plans
 and to seek my ad-
 vice.
 "Jim" told me very frankly what he had in mind to do. 1 am glad to tell you that his first out line of the plans to or ganize a new company is not much different from the plans finally adopted by him and "Joe' Hal loran and their associ- ates, who now constitute CONNORS- TAILOR AN STORES, INC.
 The only difference be- tween the original plan and the present one is that which affects the distribution of the com mon stock of CON- NORS = HALLORAN STORES, INC.
 1 made the suggestion to Jim" that people who had sufficient confidence in him to invest in the preferred stock ($1O the share par) of the new company, should be taken into the business as partners, whereupon he immediately said:

AAS "iSA cAA SAAS AoStS about any proposition with which 1 have any connection. He knows 1 won't write anything for anybody unless 1 believe 100 per cent that what 1 write is the truth. He knows, too, that 1 am a great believer in the principle that a writer must put conscience and sincerity into his work if he is to win the con- fdence of the people, and this applies partic,1- larly to writers who in-. vite the public to invest their money.
 1 told Jim" that 1 would go along with him and write the story of their new enterprise, be- cause 1 have absolute faith in the integrity of the individuals, as we'll as in the proposition it. self.
 I am glad to do this, because 1 think this form of publicity will mean ultimately the protection of people from investing in scraps of paper in- stead of safe securities.
 You all know as we'll as 1 do that there has been a great deal of un- scrupulous selling of al- legged securities, in which people have lost their money. There is only one way to stop this sort of thing and that is to print the facts in the pub lie press.
 Connecticut people
 are good partners to
 have in business. Personally, 1 have a wide acquaintance among Connecticut people. 1 like Connecticut people, on general principles but more particularly, be- cause my father, Samuel Freeman, who was one of the great educators of his day, was born in Holland coun- ty, January 6, 1922.
 He left Mansfield at the age of Y to become a teacher of a country school at Coolbaugh's, Monroe County, Pa., where he. metmy mother, a pupil in his school. After they were married, they both taught in the public schools of New Jersey, and they had a great deal to do with es- tablishing the present high standards in the of that state. My father, 1 am proud to say, won a national rep as an educator and fought many years

stock among the people of Connecticut, after you have issued all the shares of preferred stock nec- essary to supply you with the money that you will have to spend in stock ing and equipping 27 more stores.
 Jim instantly saw the full import of this sug- gestion, and said:
 That's what will do."
 "Jim' Connors and
 "Joe" Halloran and
 their associates de-
 cided also to issue
 only 5O,00O shares
 of common stock.
 In talking to me about this feature of the busi- ness, Jim" said that he and his associates would be perfectly satisfied to own 3O,OOO shares of common stock in the new company, to which they are entitled, 1 think, because the stocks, the equipment, their store represent a conservative valuation of $3OO,OOO, which is the par value of 3O,OOO shares of common stock at $lo the share.
 Jim" Connors and Joe" Halloran do not know how to be tricky" in business, and they would not be tricky if they could.
 They know that they must make their hold ings of common stock in the new company valu- able, before they can make any money for themselves, outside of the small salaries for liv- ing expenses which they have pledged themselves to draw while building up the business of 27 more stores.
 It will require at least $3O,OOO to $35,OOO to stock and to equip each one of 27 new stores, so you see the need of the new company getting legal authorization to is- sue, all told, 100000 shares of preferred stock at $1O the share-or $1,OOO,OOO.
 As the money comes into the treasuryofCON NORS HALLORAN STORES, INC. from those who buy shares of preferred stock, every dollar-less the conserv- ative, economical cost of distributing the stock will be immediately used in opening new stores.
 The new company is not seeking to secure money for any other pur- pose. Every dollar real ized from the sale of pre- ferred stock, please re- member, must be used to expand the business of Jim" Connors and Joe" Halloran, which is

BkTTLESHIP is STILL
SUPREME IN FLEET
Development of Aircraft Has but
Added to Completely of
Naval Welfare.

WashnGton.-'"The battleShp is still
the backbone of the fleet and the bull
wark of the nations defense. The air.
plane has added to the dangers to
which battleships are exposed. but has
not made the battleship obsolete The
development of aircraft has but add
ed to the compleXity of naval warfare"
This. in effect, is a summary of the
report to the secretaries of war and
navy by the joint board on the bomb
ing tests held recently off the Virginia
Capes. The report gives the airplanes
and airShipS full credit for perform
ing splendid work in the tests, bur in
sistS that the development so far Of
air aircraft has not furnished even an
economical instrument of war leading
to the abolition of the hattleships. The
report is signed by General Pershing
as senior member of the board
In this connection, however, the
board says: "Aircraft carrying high
capacity high explosive bombs of slf-
tiCient size can sink or seriously dam
age any naval vessel at present con-
be placed in the water close alongside
the vessel
"Furthermore, it will be difficult, IL
not impossible, to build any type of
vessel of sufficient strength to with
stand the destructive force that can
be obtained with the largest bombs
that airplanes may be able to carry
from shore bases"
The report adds that "the aviation
and ordnance experiments have proved
that ii has become imperative as a
matter of national defense to provide
for the development of aviation.
"They have proved also the neccs.
Sity for aircraft carriers of the MAXI
mum size and speed to supply our fleet
with the offensive and defensive power
which aircraft provide. 1t is likewise
essential that anti-aircraft armament
be developed"

election OF Newberry as tainted and
iustfying the refusal oi a sea, in the

The social lobby has been az
tive in this casc-more active than in
most matters, and the social lobby
is effective" declared Kenyon "Ef-
fective pleas have been made from

set Tor the performance OF confirm
ing Newberry. There will be very
few votes on this side OF the cham
Der against him"
Reviewing the evidence against
Newberry as adduccd before the SEN
ate Investigating committee, Ken
yon asserted that the records show
an expenditure OF at least S263ooo
and the plain inference from the tes-
timonv is that much larger sum was
spent.

Glture Of SI,Coo,ooo for the election of

would seat him, continued Kenyon.

hundreds OF thousands Of dollars to

pie is gone. No man of even moder-
ate means can attain a place in this

ever dream of it.

Build Roadbeds of Straw.

Walla counties this fall. making it
possible for ialu,srT to coff<iare

rain or. snow.
FOR two years experiments have
been conducted with wheat straw az
a means of providing a base for
hard roadbed. The straw when laid
about ten inches deep on a muddy
road. absorbed all the moisture and
then gradually settled into a concrete
unit. Travel over it only continues
to pack the straw and rain and snow
cannot mire it. A second applica-
ton over the center of the roadbed
completes the road for the winter.
The cost of each mile of such road
way is about $50. merely the hauling
and labor of scattering the straw.
