Says Baby Talk May Soon Become the Universe
Business Language
By JOHN p. MEDBURY.

you'd let him ride on the new coaster
you got for your birthday.
A big manuf acturer would be sore
at his father all day because his old
man made him wash his face and
hands before he went to work.
The manufacturer woud fight with
the cashier because the cashier
wouldn't give him a nickel to 20 ont
and buy an all-day sucker.
The cashiers father might be a
policeman and this would scare the
boss to death.
Then the shipping clerk would get
in an argument with the bookkceper
and bet him that his father could lick
his father.
The stenographer's mother would
have to ring UP the presidents
father because his son pulled her
daughters hair and called her
sissy.
If it wasn't this it would be be-
cause he stole all of her marbles.
Imagine your typist running home
crying beeause the fling clerk made
. face at her.
Then the clerk would be afraid to
go homo that night because the typ
ist would have her big brother wait
ing outside for him.

movement is so taken up with the
consideration of Immediate trade con-
ditions ard their effect upon earnings
and dividend action that It is not a
fair measure of solid opinion re-
garding the broader outlook. II was
Gov. Harding of the Federal Reserve
Board. who was the first official in
high place to sound the danger warn
ing in the autumn of 1919, when WE
were on the crest of the business
boom. and when speculation was
widest and most confident.
1t was he, too, who gave out the
ment in the dark days Of last De-
cember. that the crisis was passing
and that there would be no dis
astrous business and financial col
lapse. Because the federal reserve
head had been so correct in his fore
casts up to now. and because he is
in unique position to know what
is going on in all commercial lines.
his statement before the automobile
chamber of commerce on Friday is
worthy of special attention. Re
ferring again to the passing of the
great emergency of 1920, he said :;
There is nothing, as far as the finan-
cial condition of the country is con-
cerned, as affected by the federal re-
serve banks. that causes any other
feeling than that of optimism"
Basis for Better Times.
It is true that this statement re-
ferred more directly to credit condi-
tions than to business conditions. II
was Influenced by the rise in the
f4I 80 n
liabilities from the extreme low of
42.2 per cent in May. 1920, TO the
present 57.4 per cent. But just as
the credit troubles a year and half
ago came to a head a long time be-
fore the business troubles, SO it is
reasonable to expect a similar delay
in the trade situation, following the
improvement in the credit situation.
With the banking position restored
to soundness. as 1t has been. the
foundations have been laid for better
times. Trade. already better in GER
the wake of banking recovery.
In no industry was the buyers
strike" more complete six months
ago than it was in textiles. The New
England mills. shut down all summer
reopened with a generous price cut
and still new orders refused to come
in. Yet today the American Wooler
Company, the largest in its line. is
operating not far from maximum
capacity. The reason is that prices
eventually got down low enough. and
, the surplus production became suf-
fciently reduced to convince buyers
of wooden goods that it was safe to
come in again freely.
Lean Year for Steel.
At the opposite extreme. the steel
and oil trades We're holding up al
I, wartime prices, and fourishing busi-
| ness long after the textile trade had
collapsed. Hence these two indus
tries are equally tardy in turning the
corner from their downward move

TALKS OF THE FUTURE

Education Commissioners View.

Declaring that the future of the
American republic depends upon the
people in the remote places-the small
hamlets, the farms and in the noun
tain districts-John J. Tigert. newly
appointed commissioner of education
stated in his address to the national
stan of the Radcliff Chautauqua sys-'
tenn. that he would endeavor by
means of his Office to reach the little
red echoolhouse, the one and two
story buildings, and help the cnilaren :ne;
adequately to learn the true princi-
pies of Americanism =.
History is made in those places.
he said, "as well as in the big cities.
They in these remote places are un-
touched by the red taint of unrea-
soned radicalism which fiourIshes IN
the thickly congested conters of pop
ulation. To them we must turn in
this critical hour of our great country
we love so we'll. Let us not measure
our opportunities for service by the
size of the communities we lecture or
teach in. In the crowed places one
misses the great vision"
Tribute to Thomas Edison was paid
bv Mr. Tigert, who stated that pos
terity will call the inventor the great
est man in the greatest age of his
tory.
You may say what you will OF

has more than 5000 inventions to his
credit; that one-fourth of the wealth
of the nation is invested in these in
ventions. To Edison and to other
scientists does not come the pleasing
glamor that surrounds the military
and political figures. but they are
doing more for the world than others
who receive the plaudits and material
rewards"
The address of Mr.. Tigert follow ed
a dinner given to the chautauqua
staff, of which he was a former men,
ber, by Mr.. and Mrs W. L. Radcliff
at the Columbia Country Club last
night. 1t was the speakers first pub
lie appearance since his appointment
to the Office Of commissioner of educa-
tion. formerly held by Philander P.
Claxton. Mr.. Tigert was the first
Rhodes scholar from Tennessee. Pre-
vious to his appointment Mr.. Tigert
was a professor of philosophy at the
University of Kentucky.
Addresses also were delivered by w.
L. Radcliff and DR.. Albert Marion
Hyde. general manager of the sys-
tenn. Musical entertainment was given
by Misses Ella and Margaretta Mela-
met and Miss Geraldine Edgar of Bal
timore. The University Orchestral
Club and the Clifford Foote Concert
Trio also entertained. The dinner
marked the end of the Radcliff chau-
tauqua conference, which has been
held here, attended by residents of
forty-f1ve states. Yesterday afternoon

Stained Glass
rrum the Philadelphia Ledger.

One does not have to go any farther
than to view the gorgeous willet
window in the refectory Of the gradu-
ate school at Princeton. or to study
the jeweled beauty of the D'Ascenzo
windows in the Memorial Chapel at
Valley Forge, or to visit the Bryn
Athyn Cathedral. still in construction,
to know that Philadelphia has a repu-
tation in the matter of a production
Of stained glass. Under the circum-
stances. it is quite logical, therefore,
that the larger and more impressive
bits Of thirteenth-century stained
glass sold to connoisseurs at the Law
renee sale in New York should come
to Philadelphia and that it should be
the man who is the great patron of
the Bryn Athyn venture who should
