Beginning to-day the Stock Clearing
Corporation, organized about year
ago as an important adjunct to the
New York Stock Exchange, viii clear
six Of the active Liberty loan and Vic
tory note issues By such clearance
much of the transferring Of the Sc
curities through the financial district
will be done away with, thereby elm
mating greatly the risk of thefts from
messengers. The corporation, accord
ing to present plans, will be ready to
begin clearing bank loans of exchange
houses by March IS. 1t is expected
that at least twenty OF the leading
downtown banks will have loans Of this
character cleared through the medium
Of the corporation. A committee head
ed by Ste phen BAer, Of the Bank Of
the Manhattan Company, with Walter
f. Frew, Of the Corn Exchange, and
Gates W. McGarrah, OF the Mechanics
and Metals National Bank, have the
matter in charge for the banks.

Cutting Oil Prices

The Texas Company and the Stand
ard Oil Company of New York yester-
day reduced the price of gasoline two
cents a gallon to 28 cents wholesale.
Discussing the\decline in crude oil of
late The Oil Trade Journal says:
Opinions vary as to whether crude
production will be affected by the new
scale of prices, but farsighted oil men
predict that with costs of drilling ma
terial and equipment scaled down
general conditions will be much more
satisfactory than on the old basis. One
thing is certain, the revision of prices
will enable refners to continue opera
tions and lay up sufficient stocks to
meet the heavy demand that is certain
to follow the revival of industry in
this country and abroad"

Sugar Financing Plans

Strength of the sugar shares yester-
day coincided with reports that bank
ers here were considering plans for
financing a considerable amount Of
sugar carried by producing companies
through the sale Of securities to the
public. This, the story went would
involve the issue of notes of dobentures
secured by the raw sugar itself as col
lateral. In form the transaction would
be similar to that arranged last week,
when notes were sold to investors Sc
cured by surplus copper held by a
large group of American producing
companies. In banking circles, it was
said that the amount Of raw sugar be-
ing financed at present by bank loans
would probably exceed 100000.
Opinions differ, however, as to the feas-
ibilty or advisability of the scheme
proposed of selling securities to the
most of the bankers in touch with the
Cuban sugar situation is that the need
of financing the crop is over.

IT'S annual report for 1920 The com

expected that last years showing will

New Haven Pros,ems

The brief which the New YORK, New
Haven & Hartford has filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission paints
rather dark picture, but a truthful
presentation of the facts. Rates from
New England to Western cities are out
of line with other rates because New
England industries in business, cost
what it might. The New Haven has
for years been working under the law
of decreasing returns. The more traf-
fic it got the less profit it could earn.

PRIMARY TASK OF
 CONFERENCE ID BE JOB DISTRIBUTION
Hope Is for Distribution More Equitably Among Workers Present Amount of Work
 to Be Done z
By HARDEN COLFAX Special Correspondent of The Age Herald / Copyright, 1891. by The Age Herald.)

Washington, September 24.-(Spe- cial.)-When President Harding's S conference on unemployment meets Monday at the department of com merce, its prime attention will be de- voted not so much to increasing the number of jobs for the jobless-al- though that phase also will be dis .cussed and efforts made to increase employment--as to distributing more equitably among the workers of the country the present amount of work to be done.
 Employers will not be asked, for sentimental reasons, to increase their pay rolls. The government does not intend F conduct the conference on sentimental lines at all, but along sound, practical, business methods The Hoover idea of engineering will prevail. That idea will be to take a survey of American industry, as where it stands and what 1t faces, and then to devote the best thought of the conference to analyzing the situation and acting intelligently to, fel1eVe distress wherever such action can be taken.
 The Main Question
 The task, therefore, is primarily one of distribution of existing work. There Is a certain amount of work to be done. There is certain force to do 1t. That force, at the present, is in excess of the requirements of man. power for the job How can the idle man power be given an oppor. tunity to share, at least to some ex- tent in the benefits of employment? That is one of the main questions the conference will seek to answer.
 The device of staggered working hours" will be discussedw. Under this plan, manufacturers in certain sec- tions, unable to supply work to all the workmen needing it, are working two crews. One crew works one
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-25

week and the other the next In ef- feet 1t amounts to half time work for all and gives everyone an op- portunity to earn part of his nor nal pay, rather than giving some workmen full time and others none at all.
 Surveys from 30 states, showing ex- pertinent of that and other methods adopted by producers to relieve un- employment, will be available for the conference. A clearing house of in- formation will be established. Where an experiment has worked out well In one place, the results and the methods applied will be available for representatives of all industries at tending the conference, so that, if desirable. they may recommend it's adoption in their own lines of busi- ness.
 Will Last Two Weeks
 The conference is expected to last two weeks. After the first rew ses- sions, it probably will be divided into group meetings, each group repre- senting one or more industries Each group will study the situation in it's industry and the relief work being done in other industries with a view to determining whether such relief can be applied by the group in ques- tion. Also the groups will study a great volume of data which the gov- ernment has been preparing for the conference, chief of which are recent and accurate figures as to the extent of unemployment throughout the country.
 For the past 10 d~ys a group of economic advisors has been at work in New York preparing skeleton e. TA will be presented at the Monday meet ing, but it will be only a skeleton programme, for the administration does not want to have a cut-and- dried affair thought out in advance for the delegates. Rather, 1t is seek ing to give the delegates the widest possible latitude so that their own ideas may obtain the fullest express sion. There will be little programme limitation to the arrangement of dis cussion or action.
 One of the subjects down for dis cussion is the possibility of extend ing public works, such as roads and building construction. There will be a survey of such work, under actual development and projected, together with accurate information as to the possibilities it contains for helping the situation.
 Another subject to come up will be Legislation. The delegates will be asked to consider what laws, if any might well be passed to help. A third subject will be transportation. The great railroads of the country as well as the ocean carriers will have their representatives there. They will be asked to consider and formulate, if possible, definite programme of aid.
 Labor will be represented, too, of course, and all parties will be ex- horted to work together for the com mon cause. a

 Just how when times are hard some people demand a "goat," and how in the recently passed omer- gency, the federal reserve board was made the goat" Governor Harding, in an address this week at Charlotte. N C., gave apt illustration. In part, he said:
 'I know that there is very gen eral popular misconception regarding this and I think that some of the member banks are responsible for this misunderstanding, although I am sure they have not been actuated by malicious motives. I have been in the banking business myself and I think that I know something Of banking psychology Banks, as a rule, do not like to admit to cus- toners that they are short of loan able funds nor do they like to arouse enmity in declining to make loans or in asking for a reduction of loan already made.

Some children grow too quickly-it
saps their strength. They lapse into

The blood becomes overtaxed by
too rapid growth; and poisons from
the system take the place Of strength
giving red corpuscles in the blood.
Red corpuscles are those little red
particles that swim in blood and give
it its color. Gradually that child
loses interest in it's play.

Before adjourning members of the

it will not be possible to effect large
