WHEN IN DANGER OF FIRE

When some one shouts Fire" In a

stampede Those who keep their heads
and act nationally stand better chance
OF escaping injury" remarks Forbes
Magazine. The cry of "Fire!" was re

tiers. Now, it cannot be doubted that
the war time frenzied boom has
reached its zenith and that prices are
moving downward. 1t remains to be
seen, however, whether 1t was wise to
attempt to force goods on the market
at greatly reduced prices and to can
Gel orders for fresh supplies on the
assumption that producers would also
cut their prices drastically in a mad
effort to get from under 1t is worth
noting that wooden, shoe, silk, and
certain other manufacturers promptly
curtailed operations, thus refusing to
gamble to the limit in futures. If pro-

some merchants may find that they

Goods cannot be produced for some
little time at any tremendously lower
cost than formerly because 1t takes
time for raw materials, labor, taxes
and other expenses to fall drastically.
The advice prominently printed on

Not Notified Of Election.

A singular omission in the matter
of legal formalities is the failure of
the laws of the United States TO pro-
vide for notifying a President-elect
of his election. The result of the
electoral vote is recorded in the
journals of both houses of congress,
but it is left for the President-elect
to find out the result in whatever
way he can, and to present himself
for Inauguration on the next succeed

Deer Climb Up Ladders.

The three miles of concrete-lined
f1ume which brings water to the Cher
ry creek power house on the Hetch
Hetchy project lies in a territory
Astounding in deer. When water was
first turned into the flume there was a
good deal of trouble with deer which
got into it and could not get out I'M
aided. AS many as thirty to forty deer
have been taken out of the fume in
a single month. To relieve this con-
diticn deer ladders made of planks
were built in the fume line at inter
walls. The ladders extend below the
water as well as above, so that the
deer can find footing on which to
climb out. Since the ladders were put
in there has been no further trouble
with the deer.

A Trinity Gravestone.
IT Recalls the Unhappy Story of a

To THE New York HERALD; In a

the theatre OF a century ago.
For many years there stood at the

Mrs. Jordan's daughter was woman
OF superior education. possessed OF much
OF the beauty and talent OF her unfor-
tunate mother. She made her debut In
New York at the Anthony Street The

London she contracted the habit OF using
opiates. a failing that brought the prom

Ing variety. because she has met and
overcome odds the like of which none

heavily on her than on others and
which reduced her buying power

The victors In the civil war did not
recognize the Confederate bonds as the
Allies do the German war bonds.

Sells Art to Save Home.
Mile. Louyot Exhibits Father
Paintings at Wanamaker's.

There is on exhibition In the galleries
OF John Wanamaker's collection OF the
splendid paintings by the late Edmond
Louyot from his studios in Lorraine.
which were brought here by his daugh-
ter, Mile Rita Louyot. In hope that
they might be sold in order that the for
mer home of the artist. on the banks of
the Moselle. might be saved to his fam
lily. Louyot died year ago last jan
uary. after many years passed in de-
votion to his art. His versatility was
rcmarka BILE, his works including land
scspes. interiors of homes. marines and
Of life in Holland. One Of his most at
tvactive portraits Is one Of his daughter.
Mrs. Henry C. Frick was among the
purchasers OF the Louyot paintings
when they were exhibited at Anderson's
earlier In the season, and others OF them
will be hung In some Of the private gall
lerles OF this country. Several more
lave been sold during tho exhibition at
Wanamaker's. Mile Louyot is now here
and expects to return to her home In
France. sailing by the Chicago on May
81. and she hopes that II will not be
necessary for her to take back to her
homo many Of the works of her late
father, not that she would not keep
every one Of them II she could. They
are her treasures, but 1t is Aecessary to
give them up The exhibition will close
on Saturday Of this week,
Many canvases Of the artist were
bought by the Metz Museum. and In
1919. just before his last illness, he es-
tablished the Maison dart in Metz,
which is lasting memorial to him.
Paintings by him are owned by some OF
the famous collectors In Europe.

S660,O00,000 this will be the equiva-
lent Of the S200,O00,O00 adverse bal
Jnce Of pre-war years.
She already has made good head
way with her internal finances. A
capital levy has been enforced, and on
April . a further assessment went
into effect under n decree confiscating
sal excess war profits OF more thar
10000 lire, earnings or income for
the two year period prior to the war
serving as a base In estimating al
lowed profits in the war years. These
measures were calculated TO promote
credit dehation, reduce the swollen
paper money circulation and increase
Government revenues. The results
have fully justified the means. In
the first three months of thfs year
the paper money outstanding was re-
luced by more than a billion lire, the
Government has cut it's budget deficit
and the upward price movement has
been checked.
Italy has improved her position in
spite of an almost complete stoppage
Of foreign credits to her, condition
which did not apply with equal
weight to the other Entente nations.
Her exchange fell lower than the
others and she passed through an
organized labor campaign TO estab-
'ish soviet rule over industry. The
buyers strike hit her with unequal
force, because she was perforce pur-
chaser abroad. with no compensating
factor to promote her foreign sales.
When, In the face of these obstruc-
tions the italian nation was able In
1920 to cut close to $500. 100000 from
the adverse trade balance, 1t does not
seem too hopeful to anticipate a SIM
liar or larger cut in 1921, which,
speaking strictly of trade relations,
will restore Italy's normal position.
And that is something even If Italy,
like the other Entente nations, still
has to work out plan to meet the
interest and principal of her foreign
war debt.

Our Big Wheat Supply.

A winter wheat crop Of 630,000,000
bushels, as indicated by the United
States Department of Agriculture. is
Of itself more than enough to take
care of American consumption for the
next year. Whatever the crop of
spring wheat amounts to will be clear
surplus above our own possible do
nestle demands.
But more wheat than that must be
figured as potential American supply.
Canada will have many million
bushels to send us unless a tariff
keeps out her offerings. Yet, on the
other hand, every million bushels of
Canadian wheat kept out of this mar
ket will be million bushels more of
foreign wheat competing in markets
cbroad with our export wheat
The same thing Is true or the Ar
gentine surplus, which has been seek
Ing our seaboard markets with sue
cess partly because the ocean freight
charge on grain from South Ameri-
can ports to Atlantic ports is so much
lower than rail charges from points
west of the Mississippi River to our
Atlantic seaboard. This will be quite
as much an advantage for Argentine
over American wheat in Liverpool
MS In New York.
Canadian wheat and Argentine
wheat, in or out of our homo market
then. our own surplus will have to
compete with the foreign grain in a
way that will make 1t difficult for the
abundant harvests of the United
States to command excessive prices
either abroad or at home. The best
hope OF the American farmer, there
fore. as Of all other American pro-
ducers. is not n manipulated or con-
trolled domestic market to run up
prices which viii check sales, but
lower harvesting and other handling
and distributing costs to permit sell
ing prices that win stimulate demand
here and everywhere.
In the economic readjustment,
which must apply to all industry any
all business, prosperity Is to be re-
gained only through reasonable prices
and bearable living costs.
