Much.Watch Repairing
Cuts Jewelry Business

Watch-repairing jewellers in England
are doing a phenomenal business, ac-
cording to latest reports from London.
There has been a considerable increase
in the number of watches brought to
jewelers. for repairs over the number
received in pre-war days.
An independent attitude is said to be
assumed by leading jewelers.. In some
instances they are reported to have re-
fused to take in watches unless it is
OF their own line, and in others unless
the owner of the watch is a regular and
profitable customer. Even then, the re-
port has it, he must wait an indefinite
time before the necessary repairs have
been made.
The present condition of the trade
is said to be due to the scarcity of
skilled watch repairers. This dearth is
more or less attributed to the war.
when thousands of workers drifted
away from their occupation to do war
work, which was more profitable to
them. After the war many of the
workers took to a more remuneratiye
occupation, such as the optical glass
trade, wrist compass trade, altimeter
and other scientific mechanism lines
Wages OF skilled repairers are said to
be high. w
jewelers. find that in the wrist watch
they have source of income which be-
tokens regularity. In survey of lew
elers 1t was reported that for everv
pocket watch which is turned in for
repairs there are to be found about
twenty wrist watches.

endowed foundations. Among the lat
ter is the Engineering Foundation.
Established in 1914, on the basis Of
gift from Ambrose Swasey, the
builder of great telescopes and fine
machine tools, Engineering Foundation
has broad charter. This endowment
is held in trusteeship by United Engi-
neering Society, Incorporated under
New York laws, representing the four
great national societies of Civil, Min
ing and Metallurgical, Mechanical and
Electrical engineers. Engineering
Foundation co6perates close with Ma
tional Research Council, the body rep
resenting the country's scientists in
concerted endeavor for the advance
ment of research.
But research costs large sums of
money in the present stage of advance
ment Of science and engineering. As
yet Engineering Foundation has an
income Of only $4,000 a year. which
seems small indeed compared with the
useful work the foundation has been
asked to do or beside the large sums
annually devoted to research by some
of the industries. It's present endow-
ment is 100000. 1t should have mill
lions. The foundation board seeks this
large endowment because it believes
that its sixteen carefully chosen men,
bers constitute a body capable of ad-
ministering the income from large
endowment intelligently, for the pur-
poses intended.

AsOdit Business ReriraI

A survey Of the industry revesls that
the truck business has not revived m
prop ortion with the passenger car, and
that it will not do so, in the opinion o.
qualified judges, until there Is gen.
eral business revival--untii the num-
ber of idle freight cars shrinks and
there is an unsuitable demand for addi-
lional units for transporting merchan-
disc.
In the passenger field, besides tbop
companies referred to in the foregoing,
there is activity in the REQ plants, ths
Packard factories, the Chandler plants
and several Of the others. The Ford
Motor Company is meantime making
progress in training large numbers to
the use of automobiles, and eventually
graduating them into the better makes
The Ford company increased its sales
fast enough to fool the bankers, who
believed il would be absolutely neces-
sary for it to come to Wall Street fcr
loan by this time. The company ap-
parently has obviated the need of bor-
rowing partly by making the concerns
from which it buys accessories csrfy

in increased numbers, and it Is said
that the Stutz plant has brought its

ferences, much as a magistrate might
patch up a quarrel between husband
and wife without formal separation
suit. Tohis is In fact often the mode of
procedure in such cases. The duties Of
the commission also include determining
the rate structure of the United States
and it must decide such questions as
that presented by the New England
railroads application for achange In
divisions Of all through rates into and
cut of New England Here, for in in
stance, is question involving the
relative industrial ctanding of New
England and the entire rest of the
country The judicial determination of
justice in such case Is not unworthy
of the dignity and ability of the United
States Supreme Court
The scope of the commissions pow
ers and the moral responsibility rest
ing on it in such cases have not been
recognized by the commission in the
past Can any lawyer imagine for a
moment Supreme Court justice dis
cussing with his most intimate friend,
or even with his wife or son, a case
which was before the court for final
determination Yet the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners have seldom
hesitated to lay aside formal rules of
evidence and most of them, if not all
have been willing to discuss Informally
with complainant or defendant, or even
with persons not party to the suit,
the merits of a case before them. They
have apparently felt that their admin
istrrative function gave them right
to handle their judicial functions in a
way that would in their opinion get
at results with minimum of red tape
and narrow legal restrictions. This
failure on the part of the commission
ers to GRASP. the dignity and power
that should be theirs, tendency to
keep their eyes on the politics~> si@nid-
canoe of their decisions-proper enough
tor an administrative body, but against
the ethics Of the United States courts
and tendency to regard themselves
as special representatives of the shin

the cause of the failure of the commits

Calls Stringency Temporary
Southern Business Man Asks
Liberal Credit

The financial stringency in the South,
according to Charles ]. Haden, of At
lanta, Ga, is temporary. In letter to
the National Association of Credit Men
he urges that liberal credit be extended
to the South. IF you can sell to the
south" ne writes, "sell all you can, for
the South is going for all it buys. 1t
may be slow, but it's obligations will
be met"
The extravaganza of southern nature,
as compared to the North and the fact
that. the South is in the habit of re-
celvlng large sum of money in a
short space of time for its cotton crop
are reasons for the slowness of the
Southerner in paying his accounts. says
Mr.. Haden.
Retail stocks throughout the South.
ne adds, have been depleted, but de-
mand is. still light. with prospects of
a revival in the fall.

governments and few far-seeing in

governments and few far-seeinr in
dustries.
The nations learned that ability for
defense in war was closely related to
capacity for self-sustenance. The great
est war in history has been fought.
Again the peoples are turning to pur-
suits of peace. Once more commercial
rivalries are running high. Let US hope
that competition for commerce will not
again rush along the paths Of selfish
gain to the bloody fields of battle
Peace and progress demand research
as truly as did war. Industry seeks
wealth, and rightly.
Leaders there must be among nations
as we'll as among individuals. America
is leader in civilization, but she can
keep in the front rank only by vast ex-
penditures for new knowledge and for
its application to agriculture, mining,
industry and commerce. The head of
one of Americas most profitable and
most widely known industries, who is
spending hundreds of thousands of dol
search laboratory, stated the case we'll
when he said: 81 established \ research
labratory because | found it necessary
for success that / should know more
about our industry than any one else
knew and that should learn it
sooner" Competition of wits is keen,
but when kept in right channels bene-
fits all. The war has taught that no
nation or group can truly prosper by
damage to others.
Especially in chemical fields has the
value of the contributions of science to
industry been appreciated. For ex-
ample, witness the million dollars spent
in developing a commercially successful
synthetic indigo and the fortunes put
into the development of electric lights
to produce ever more satisfactory and
more economical forms.
Within recent years many labora-
tories have been established by ind-
vidual companies or by associations for
the purpose of studying problems pc
cullar to the respective industries from
1000 canning to steel making, and seek
ing new facts on which advances could
be based. There are now more than
800 such laboratories in industrial es-
adjustments in the United States.
1t is reported that some companies
have recently discontinued laboratories
as result of the financial stress of |
the passing months. Inquiry indicates
that, at least in some cases, these |
laboratories were established because it |
was the fashion, or because fat profits |
from inflated prosperity due to war
conditions could thus be in part con-
cealed. When days of retrenehment
came 1t was natural to sacrifice these
new laboratories. They were on false
bases.
But there are fields of research not
cultivated by industrial corporations
the fields which in the main give no
promise of yielding directly profitable
results Fundamental scientific re-
search) and fields related to industries
in which the individual companies or
groups cannot provide sufficient re-
sources. In these fields lie the oppor-
tunities for governmental bureaus. for
the unsveY5isies, and especially for the
