Statistlcian Among the Prophets

RELIGION AND BUSINESS. BY Roger
w. Babson. The Macmillan Company.
Nothing but religion. says the presl-
dent OF the famous Babson statistical
corporation, can ever solve our indus
trial problems, and the man 10 whom
thousands of business men look for
their practical" information hands
out this tip as a sure thing that the
future will bring US prosperity or
trouble In proportion as we apply re-
ligion or materialism to the business
world. This sort OF thing is a COM
monplace among intellectuals, but the
I. b. IN. will find Mr.. Babson's line dis
tinctly novel. Not only does he ex-
pound the Scriptures but he states
wherein.
Here are some of his definite pro-
posais: I'D Labor must get back its
desire TO produce; CD this desire Is
intangible and can be brought about
only by winning the confidence OF the
workers; (3l to win their confidence
we must realize that the interests OF
labor are paramount to those OF capi-
tai and that the real purpose OF indus
try shall be not to produce material
things but to develop human souls;
az TO so develop the workers we must
permit them to organize. must recog
nize their leaders and must give them
full knowledge regarding the business,
consulting them when they desire to
be consulted (5) we should strive to
apply the same principles in dealing
with our employees as apply In deal
ing with our families" Mr.. Babson
has little patience with the idea OF
destroying the labor unions. In fact,
he says that unless both employers
and employees come to their senses
very soon there win be the first panic
get. And by coming to their senses
Mr. Babson means an agreement
which involves collective bargaining
and the right OF both sides to hire
representatives whenever they choose.
There are other interesting ideas In
this new gospel TO the business man.
The author quotes with approval a
list OF requirements for the Christian
life. as conceived by a group OF men
not belonging to any church THE

touch "the high lights and deep
shadows OF the pictures" The net re-
suit is not only a very readable vol
ume, ineligible TO the layman of av-
erage culture. despite its occasional
handling of technicalities, but also
book calculated to stimulate the in
terest of the student and to provide
much solid food for the thoughtful.
The volume is made of a series Of
lectures delivered at the Wagner Free
Institute of Science OF Philadelphia.
Or. Cushman is director of the In
stitute of Industrial Research at
Washington, and is also an ex-Lieu-
tenant Colonel of the Ordnance De-
partment. U. 8. A. Although he is
here dealing with popular science" he
speaks with the voice of authority.
His chief theme is the service OF
chemistry to mankind, from the days
of the French Revolution, and La
vosier. Dalton, Thompson, Franklin,
Faraday and others. down to Einstein
and the chemistry Of radioactive ele-
ments that fills so much OF the present
day horizon. He discusses the applica-
ton of discoveries to agriculture,
biology. pathology. medicine and in re-
iation to the various industries, es-
pecially those OF iron and steel maxi
ing. of ceramics. the coal tar dyes and
medlcinals, and he goes In some detail
into the part chemistry in playing, and
must play, in the solution OF the
worlds food problem. He concludes:
1T is possible to believe that al the
past is but the beginning OF begin
ming, and that all that Is and has been
Is but the twilight of the dawn
We are creatures OF the twilight.
All this world is heavy with the
promise OF greater things. and day
will come when beings who are now
latent In our thoughts and hidden In
our loins shall stand upon this earth
as one stands upon a footstool and
shall laugh and reach out their hands
amidst the stars"
And. indeed, chemistry, as a science
of the future. Is fully entitled to such
dithyrambic prophecy. II is a reason
able outlook from such a survey Of the
past as that Of this book.

FUNDAMENTALS OF PROSPERITY.
BY Roger w. Babson. Fleming III.

There is no need to worry. The coun-
try is all right. But, look to thyself
Become saturated with Christ's prin-
ciples. be clean and upright. cooperate
with one another, have faith. serve.
trust in the Almighty for the results,
and you viii never have to worry about
prosperity. II you will do these things
all OF the others will be given to you
. Prosperity is the result OF
Righteousness rather than OF material
things" This from the pulpit would
doubtless leave one cold, although the
particular why of that is only one of
the many modern mysteries. But en-
anatlng from Roger w. Babson, whose
very name has become synonymous
with facts and figures, IL Is some
what startling. and Fundamentals of
Prosperity" as recorded by this emil
nent economist are strikingly at vari-
ance with the average interpreta-
ton of the elements necessary to-day
for conducting Big Business. If we are
to achieve genuine and lasting pros
perity we must shatter the Golden
Idol without delay.
The man Is the thing, his integrity,
his faith. his industry and his CO.
operation--not his experience. n a
salesman Is needed, the author tells us
to look for a man. and make sales
man OF him. In addition, we are urged
TO foster little Imagination, to think
In terms Of the other fellow to In
dulge in the sublime habit OF self
forgetfulness in service, and ITO con-
slider the spiritual things rather than
the material, the eternal rather than
the temporal"
There is all the wisdom OF the ages
In the message of this little book, and
the reader lnstinctively feels the sin
cerity Of the author. No one who
comes In daily contact with his fellow
can afford 10 miss Il. especially II we
are TO prevent 'panics which are due
to spiritual causes rather than flnan-
cial."

Thomas Wright. by living among

Each and every member OF the fam
lily at the cushions, even the men of
the household, were not spared. They
would come in after a day at the
plough or the mill and sit with the
women around the candle stool and
work at intricate patterns.
One chapter is devoted to descrip-
tions OF the bohbins themselves. These
were made of bone or wood and were
often beautifully carved and inscribed
Bobbins were given on all occasions to
celebrate any important event and
they were a most welcome gift. We
find them inscribed with records OF
marriages, deaths, proposals. births
and even suicides and hangings.
The author has faithfully recorded
the impression. given by these thrifty,
beauty-loving people, whose lives re-
volved around the bobbin with the
thread. He makes us realize strongly
the depth of their simple souls. Much

THE MAKING OF LACE: A GUIDn FOR
THE LACE LOVER. BY Clara M. Blum.
u. p. Dutton & Co.
The making Of lace never has thrfy-
en- and perhaps il never will thrive in
this country. There is a difference
between the real art OF lace making.
which requires skill and patience, and
the manufacture or copying of lace as
we do II to-day In this country.
We have not only lost the art
but in many ways we have lost the
use. Gentlemen no longer adorn
themselves with'it, ladies' are sparing
In their use OF II.
The ancient lacenaker would first
take a piece of the finest linen and
pull and gather the threads together
to make the design. Another method
was to weave the motive, using a
small cushion, pins and threads.
One often sees In Europe to-day the
old women bending over their designs
working at lightning speed.
Clara Blum's book on the art OF lace
making is well written and illustrated.
Both text and pictures should be a
value to the amateur as well as the
expert.
The closing words. THE love Of
beauty Is taste--the creation of
beauty Is art" express truth beau
tifully realized in the work of the
artist of which the author writes.

Allies May Give
 Germany 3 Years
 To Pay Indemnity
IRepuhIican A. P. Leased WIrel


 PARIS, Dec. 5. - Germany will probably be granted three years delay in her cash indemnity pay rnents, the Associated Press is in- formed from the most reliable sourc- es. Negotiations are going on be- tween reparations officials of France and Great Britain and responsible of ficials of both countries virtually agree that Germany must be given a breathing spell. All that remains to be done is to work out scheme acceptable to both countries
 The suggestion of a three-year moratorium has been abandoned at the solicitation of France. The French representatives explained that the word moratorium was offensive to the French people, in connection with the indemnity, as 1t was under stood as meaning complete suspen- sion of all payments.
 The greatest progress has been made in the last few days in bringing the French and British viewpoints together; the result of this progress having been the decision to- give Ger many a chance to regain a normal status.
 The separations holiday can not be used by Germany as a means Of evading all future payments. French officials explain that it Is being con- sidered so that Germany will better be able after two or three years to fulfill her reparations obligations, and she must then be prepared to pay in full "a reasonable indemnity
 The whole problem will be for mally placed before the separations commission when the German reply to the last reparation note is re- ceived, probably late this week.
