"Cclor printing has advanced by

cage expert on color printing and
engraving, in an address before the
Ad club members at a banquet In

yet color printers are confident that
the future lies before them.
AT the present time scientists are
working on a principle by which
they hope 10 eliminate the use of
colors and reproduce thu work by
the use OF sunlight such as It Is used
in developing Photographic plates
Ii Is my firm conviction that this
principle upon which the scientists
are working VIII soon be discovered
and generally employed. The result
Of this work depends upon the pro-
duction IN sufficient quality Of SEN
sitized producing paper.
when this principle is discovered
the results will not only be obtain
able in blacks and whites but IN all
colors. II will be an almost exact
reproduction of nature. At present
some Of these experiments along this
line have given such excellent proofs
that the quality Of the work exceeds
even the original work Of the artist
in exactness and preciseness." said
Mr.. Fletcher in conclusion.
Tracey Gives Talk.

Howard Van s. Tracey. Investment
banker Of Chicago, gave a short ad-
dress on business conditions Of the
day, yesterdays. and hazards of the
business outlook for the future. lie
said in part:
THE most serious aspect OF the
business depression which Hooded
the nation recently has passed
Prices have reached rock bottom
and thin the next six months or
year I expect to see a steady pro-
erosion upward in the price OF
commodities. OF course prices will
never reach anywhere near the scale
that they were during the war.
MY deductions have been garner
ed from past events closely linked in
similarity TO the present depression.
Judging by the business depression
after the Civil war and other bust
ness slumps, / can see no other way
for business TO act. It is only nat
ural that business pick up conse-
quently after this depression. OF
course 1 cannot say that this will
happen absolutely. for a man who
can predict the future is either a
very wise man or d very foolish
man." Mr.. Tracey said.

that that feature alone restored

but since then the various amend

Capitalization Of authority.
Republican legislatures who are
bitter critics of the Goodrich law are
watching the manuevers Of the ad-
ministration with surprise. It is not
likely, however. that the bill Will
encounter any serious opposition, for
so weIl timed have been the inser-

take the trouble TO point out the

too, the measure has been caught
in the last minute rush and it is
not probable that it will receive at

Gates that it has several purposes.
The report Of the committee on
ways and means reveals that its
principal object Is 70 furnish relief
10 certain producers in the nation
who have been unable 10 discover
satisfactory markets in foreign
countries for their products and
whose prices have fallen.
Very little reflection would lead
anyone 10 conclude that the mea sure
would not furnish in any substantial
degree the relief sought by the pro-
ducers Of most Of the staple com
modities which it covers. This ma
ton has been for very many years
a large exporter OF agricultural
products. For nearly n generation
before It entered the European war
Its exports exceeded its imports Of
agricultural commodities from ap-
proximateiy 5000. 900 900 to more
than $500. 600, 600.
In recent years this excess has
greatly increased and In 1919
reached the huge total OF $1,000
292, 900. The excess OF exports Of
staple products is especially marked.
It is obvious that for the commodi-
ties except sugar and wool. men
toned in the measure, which makes
up the greater part OF our agricul-
turaI international trade. the i'm
ports can have little or no effect on
the prices Of the domestic products.
This is strikinglv true Of such
q.
imports OF wheat have come mainly
from Canada and Argentine and
have not competed with the domes-
tic products.
Specific Glasses.
The domestic demand has been
for specific classes and qualities OF
foreign wheat 10 meet particular
milling and planting needs. They
are a small fraction Of our total
production and OF our wheat ex-
ports. The price OF wheat Is
world price; s7d II is a matter Of
little moment whether the Canadian
wheat goes directly into the mar
kets Of other countries Of the world
or indirectly through this country.
The relatively small quantity Of
corn imported into this country has
q specialized use and does not come
into competition with the domestic
commodity.
The situation in which many Of
the farmers Of the country finds
themselves cannot be rcmedied By a
measure Of this sort. This is doubt
less generally understood. There Is
no short way out OF existing condi-
tons, and measures Of this sort can
only have the effect OF deceilng the
among them.
What the farmer needs is not
only a better system OF domestic
marketing and credit. but especially
I larger foreign markets for his sur
prTs products.
