foreign buyers have been benefited
most from the excessive competition
which led periodically to ruinously
low prices.
THE rest of the world takes one
half Of our copper. Even since the
war Europe has taken nearly one
half Of all we have sold. We are rob-
bling our stores Of this raw material
by the very eagerness OF each one
trying to produce more than his
competitor and thus force on the
market more than the market could
absorb.
lis not a reasonable measure of
combination, a reasonable measure of
regulation, that could avoid these ex-
tremes, desirable from the economic
viewpoint of the country? Whom
does 1t harm?"
Would not private control be like
ly to lead to abuse Of such great
power?' / asked.
IF used to extort outrageous and
extravagant prices, Of course such
control would be a bad thing for the
country" Immediately replied MT:
Ryan. But no sensible man would
have any idea Of using 1t for that
purpose. The United States Steel
Corporation doesn't use it's power for
that purpose. Neither would a COP
per combination, IL it had the power
because, IL for no other higher rea-
son, the burdening Of consumers with
unreasonably high prices would re.
strict consumption and destroy the
economic operation Of great industry.
High prices would be bound to stop
consumption, decrease production and
increase costs.
Extremes Harmful.
Il naturally have given the subject
a great deal Of serious thought, and
can honestly say that 1 have be-
come convinced that a reasonable
control OF a great industry producing
a raw material In greater volume than
all the rest OF the world combined, is
for the best interests of the owners OF
the industry (the stockholders), the
best interests of the employees in the
industry, the best interests Of the
consumers Of the products Of that in
dustry in this country, and Tar bet.
ter for the country an a whole.
ut Is coming to be generally rec.
ognized that violent extremes are
harmful - extremes in prices, ex-
tremes in competition, extremes in
production, extremes in wages, ex-
tremes in employment and unemploy-
ment.
President Harding only recently
voiced the sentiment that It would be
a good thing for farmers to market
comparatively. The Government also
says that the railroads should be put
into groups. Why 10 1t wise to put
an industry producing a very tmpor-
tant raw material in a different po-
sition. where producers have to take
each other by the throat and fight
each other for the MARKET"

The Daily Fun Hour
BY HONOR WALSH
HOLIDAY FAN BALL

Two paper balls in the Christmas
colors, one red, the other green, and
two palm leaf fans are required for
this game. If collapsible balls can be
bought, all that is needed is to initiate
them with the breath and seal the
openings. If these are not obtainable,
satisfactory substitutes can be made
by cutting three or four circles of pa
per for each ball, fastening the cir
cles in the center and filling out the
sides to form a sphere. With firm
paper the balls can be made by cut
ting intersecting Sits in the circles.
A goal is arranged at each end of
the room by placing two chairs a
yard apart, with another chair in the
center of the floor, midway between
the opposing goals. An umpire is
chosen and two captains. Each cap
tain selects his or her own team. One
team takes the red ball and a fan, the
other team the green ball and a fan.
One player from each side stands
in front of his goal with the ball be-
fore him on the floor. When the i'm
pire calls, Fan BALI" each fans his
ball in the opponents direction.
1t is against the rules to touch the
ball; the breeze from the fan must
propel it. The player who first sends
his ball under the central chair and
through the opposite goal scores five
points, after which the next two com
petitors take the field. When all have
played a Christmas prize is awarded
to the team scoring highest.
