places as it has been in New York and
Philadelphia--and doubtless other
large cities, where competition is more
plentiful than credit. This is especial
ly more notable in respect to apparel.
However, the diminished demand is
felt, and the decline is sure to con-
tinue.
One accustomed to living i'll metro
pclitan cities gets the impression,
after investigating conditions at first
hand throughout the country that the
REIMBURSEMENT process may not be COM
pleted for some time. Wall street re-
spends with electrical rapidity to
changed conditions of prospects; but
in less exciteable, less mercurial COM
munities events move more slowly,
more orderly, more regularly.
Incidentally, it would not flatter
Wall Streets vanity could it learn how
stolidly Indifferent to its hourly fur
rise or eddies the rest of the country
is. The percentage of people who
watch the stock market tape is infini-
tesimal.
On the other hand, there is intense
interest everywhere at present in the
outlok for industry nd business. AL
most every intelligent person is eager
for enlightment. Workmen ask pene-
trating questions concerning the out
look for employment; statesmen want
to know whether prices have about
reached bottom and whether gloom is
likely to disappear shortly; employ
ers inquire into the monetary outlook,
the prospects for large-scale export
credits, the attitude of "the big fell
lows" the probable severity of COM
mrcial morality, the European situ-
alton, etc. The keenness of the thirst
for information reveals the existence
of an unusual amount of apprehension,
although through it all radiates a dis
position to be hopeful and to act with
all the courage warranted by the facts
and the prospects.
attended a convention of thou
sand or more sales agents and sles-
men from every State in the Union,
from Canada, from European coun-
tries, from Australia, etc. The key
note was distinctly optimistic. Both
these representatives and the company
employing them had eclipsed all pre-
vious records in 1920, and though bust
ness had fallen off in the closing
months and was still sluggish, the
unanimous testimony was that 1921,
after it got under way, promised to
prove n exceptionally satisfactory

Outside of the cities one finds wide
spread sympathy with the farmers. In
deed, there is a general tendency to
exaggerate the gravity of their plight.

course, those who have run up I'M
wieldy debts are in fix; but those
who have husbanded the resources
yielded by the years of fairness are no
worse off than most retailers, manu-
facturers, mining companies, etc., who
have had to dispose of their goods or
materials at improbable prices.
One topic widely discussed is the
position Ford finds himself in for the
first time in his career, namely, the
impossibility of marketing his output.
His decision to change his whole sell
ing plan is condemned as suicidal by
experts. These experts are not aston
ished that there have been wholesale
designations among Ford's chief as
sociates. One popular rumOr is that
General Motors is after Ford"
MY view still is that basic conditions
warrant hopes that by spring business
on the whole will be on a sound,
healthy footing if meanwhile wages
are brought into line and certain N
pcrtant industries, including steel, re-
adjust prices. Both is probable.

The unconquerable spirit of the Grip

itself so strikingly as in the case of
a mechanical craftsman or Toronto,
Canada, who before the war was an
accomplished ice skater. When, as a
British soldier, he lost a leg in France,
his skating days seemed past, says
Popular Mechanics" Returning to
Canada, however, he applied himself
patiently to his old art, and eventu-
ally learnd to skate once more. Now
he has become so skillful with his one
skate that public exhibitions take up
much of his spare time.

DeflatiOn Found
Slower in the
Country Districts
By 8. c. FORBES

I've spent almot every night during
the las week on trains, visiting many
cities and towns in an effort to find out
conditions and sentiment These in
vestigations have produced mixed i'm
pressions; among thgm:
The big money earned during the
war has not all been squandered.
The working classes have saved pro-
portionately more than business con-
cerns-probably because tax payments
have consumed most of the latter's
funds.
Therefore, although unemployment
is perhaps more widespread than
recognized, there is less ugly, revolu-
tionary sentiment among workers
than one would expect.
Also the disposition of workers to
do more work is noticeable. Indeed,
there seems to have arisen among
labor certain pride in being kept on
when the AK falls right and left, re-
tention being regarded asa sort of
certificate that the kept-on enc is a
workman of superior ability. For ex'
ample, one young woman in Johns
town, Pa, told me with commendable
satisfaction that her beau had been
kept on at the Cambria Steel plant
after a great many had been dismissed
and that he had received a summons
to report again today, after only two
weeks idleness. A similar spirit ex.
lists among railway employees. 1t is
very pronounced among the Pennsyl.
vania's force.
This revival of pride in workman.
ship not only creates deep feeling
of qualification, but is an encouraging
augury for the future. So long as
Stacking" not working, was regarded
as an art, we were dangerously cir
cumstanced.
At every turn the slowing down OF
the pace and the greater tendency to
economic are borne in upon one.
Railroad trains have semideserted
appearance, particularly the Pullman
coaches. The train employees com
plain that both volume of travel and
size of tips have decreased terribly
Yet they are glad to have jobs.

visitors. Some fashionable hotels

however, so that they are not in sore

would attach itself to each of her
wings, hanging on till the poor fright
ened thing would run back to the
chicken yard, when the little tormen-
tors would let go and walk back, keep
up the loudest noise, congratulating
themselves, doubt, on the brave man
ner in which they drove away from
their domain what to them was so
large an enemy.
When almost grown, poor John was
accidentally killed, leaving poor Jane
widow
Now comes the remarkable part of
my story-the astonishing memory of
quail. To you it must seem almost
incredible, but l can vouch for the
truthfulness of the same.
One of our officers, Lieutenant Rem
nard, while out hunting one day,
wounded quail in the wing, not break
ing, but Gripping it in such a way
that afterwards it always dropped:
He was unable to fly for long time,
and it was by this very same dropping
wing that we were, long afterwards,
enabled to identify him, under pecu-
liar circumstances, of which l shall
now tell you.
John Number Two and Jane became
great friends, he becoming through
her fearlessness of us, quite tame, so
never so familiar as his consort.
Though brave enough to come up close
close to us and feed from the ground
at our feet, he would never take the
food from our hand, as Jane always
did.
The houses of the little garrison in
that far-away country, hundreds of
miles distant from railroads, were not
very elegant, as the high freight rates
and difficulties attending the trnspor-
tation of household articles rendered
anything but a scanty stock of furni-
ture practically unattainable.
Our kitchen was neither lathed nor
plastered, and it was the rafters in
this unfinished room these quail select
ed for their roosting place, and at
night nowhere else would they stay.
1t is never very cold in Southern
Arizona, the kitchen even in moder-
ately warm weather, was almost I'M
bearable, and one fine morning we
awoke to find Jane dead on the floor.
She had probably become overheated
during the night and died.
We all felt very sa d over the loss
of our little pet, and, with tears in our
eyes, put her in an empty cigar box
and buried her in the yard.
Poor John missed her sadly, and
showed his grief by moping around
and being NOR shy of us than usual.
Finally, after few week he left us
to seek his own kind, no doubt to re-
late to them his recent bereavement
and console himself with another Jane.
We watched for him every day, eX-

rue Story OF
a Pet Quail

Id often been told by old in

That they can be tanned, and to an

There were eight or ten in the covey

ythey were so young that they showed
\ no fear of us from the first.
THE whole brood would run after us,

from bein gfed too many flies.
We finally succeeded, with great
ideal of care, in raisings &wo, which we
named John and Jane.
They knew their names well, and
would always respond to them. They
became the dearest pets, and so tame
that when we sat down they would
often fly up into our laps, put their
pretty heads on one side and look up
at us in that comical questioning way
they have, wondering, l suppose, whe-
Their we were displeased at this piece
of effrontery and if we were going to
allow them to remain.
If they were not disturbed, they
would settle down in the most con
tented way. with "cheep, cheep"
and dloze off to sleep.
If they were allowed in the dining
, room while we were at meals, they
would make so bold as to alight on
our shoulders and actually try to take
tue food from our very mouths, often
times succeeding, as we found it hard
to always resist the attacks of these
I little creatures.

greatest dislike to the chickens, and

corner of the kitchen they would rush
at in in the most threatening manner

Tire Conservation

Shabby tires on good looking car!
Yet stand on the street corner today
and count the number of patChed-up,
dilapitated tires which are being used
to the last mile. The cost Of keeping
these tires running for a few thou.
sand miles would nearly pay for new
ones. Mileage such as this comes
high.
Tire conservation does not mean
picking up a decrepit tire and putting
it back into service at a big repair
cost just to save little rubber left
in the tread. 1t means taking care OF
the tire from the first SO that it will
be able to deliver all the mileage built
into it by the maker. When tires are
so far worn that they are soon to blow
it is poor economy to repair them
Such a course means sacrifice to the
inner tube as well.
Cheap makeshift patches, boots and
temporary repairs of II kinds are now
being called into use, as never before
but patching up an old casing in which
separation of fabric plies has already
begun, cnnot give the freedom from
tire trouble on which the pleasure in
motoring so largely depends.
To fully enjoy the thrill and sport
of winter driving the motorist should
look well to his tire equipment. Good
tires and these of standard make are
the best insurance against the road
side emergency on frosty winter
nights.

THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION

employees are opposed TO contract
work on the ground that II dcprives
many of them OF employment. and
their night before the board is TO be
based largely upon the fact that the
contract system removes n good many
men from the jurisdiction OF the board
and thus In part nuliif,es the. new
railroad law. All these points doubt
less will be argued Mt length at the
hearings which open today In Chicago.
The obvious remedy lies In wage
schedules which do no. encourage
contract work. While railroad wages
are kept above the fair market rate
the companies find Inducements in the
prices submitted by outside contrac-
tors. What reason In there for the
/ payment OF more than the normal
rate to railroad workers? The ques-
ton OF the right OF contract as af-
fected by the new railroad law liz one
that can be finally decided by the
cohrts If either party is dissatisfied
by the findings of the board. but there
lis nothing to prevent such revision
OF the payrolls as win equalize the
costs OF repairs i'm the railroad shops
and in the shops controlled by CON
ractors.-Providence Journal.

NEWBERRY CASE, AND AFTER

1t was by the unlimited use of
money that the election of Senator
Truman II. Newberry of Michigan was
brought about. The facts in the case
are too plain To he denied. None Of
Newberry's defenders in the Senate
pretend To question the spending of
immense sums in his Senatorial CAM
paign in 1918. They uphold his title TO
his seat in spite of the proofs.
AS Senator Kenyon said on the
floor of the Senate IF the doctrine is
10 be established that any amount of
money can be spent to secure a seat
here, what will be the result?" For II
the Senate, after the holidays, votes
that Senator Newberry shall retain his
seat II VIII establish that doctrine be-
yond doubt. In its own name il will
give notice to the country that seats
in the United States Senate can be
obtained for money and that as be-
tween bidders there are no limits on
the purchase price. Where Newber-
rvs election In Michigan cost over a
quarter of a million, with the Senate's
approval Senatorship in some other
State may 20 for twice that figure
Under the system of auctioning places
in the Senate no bid can be so high
that il Will be barred and no aspiran,
need hesitate because he has nothing
/ but money to offer.
In the Newberry case the Senate
must go finally on record. If the Re.
publican majority decides in Newber.
rvs favor 1t will lay down the rule
for the future that no restrictions
legal or moral, hold and that corrup
practices do not matter.-New Yorl
