New York, Jan. 2.-Financiers,
business men and economists unite in
predicting improvement in all
branches of business in 1922.
They believe the moderate progress
of 1921 will continue.
The banking situation offers much
hope.
Frozen credits have been liquidated
and money has become more plenti-
full. The Federal Reserve Board is in
a stronger position than at the begin
ming of last year.
Rail executives forsee an improve
ment in transportation, but declare
there must be further wage reduc-
tons to reduce rates.
Defation Must Continue.
Most business men agree price de-
fation must continue before normalcy
can be attained. The sugar industry
has about reached the end of its pro-
longed defiation. The automobile in
dustry looks for b lean year. More
price cutting is virtually certain.
Under-consumption is still Grip
ping the steel industry. This indus
try begins the new year with only 3s
per cent of the total possible produc.
ton.
The petroleum outlook for 1922 Il
highly optimistic. Conditions in the
leather industry is improving.
The cotton outlook is encouraging
after a year of uncertainty.
The crude rubber market is in bet
ter condition and the packing indus
try is back to normal.

All Foreign Nations Are Looking to
America for Capital for Rehabilita-
tion-Better Business Expect
ed in 1922.

New. York, Jan. 2.--Wall street
views the passing 1921 with few re-
grets, but looks hopefully to the fu-
ture, altho realizing that the new
year will put the country to even a
greater test of its resources and sta
bility.
Leaders Of industry and finance
emphasize their belief that return TO
normal conditions cannot be accom-
plished until everybody settles down
to earnest work, economy and saving.
For the most part, however, those
who hold the purse strings and con-
troll the country's important indus
trial enterprises believe that the Unit
ed States is destined to grow as a
world power.
Seek Rehabilitation in u. s.
This belief is largely founded on
the fact that Europe is leaning more
heavily upon this market. All for
eign nations, it is pointed out, look to
the United States as almost the only
market for the capital needed to eff
feet the rehabilitation of the old
world.
The latest case in point is that Of
the Dutch government, which only
yesterday awarded s40,000,000 or 40
per cent Of new loan to our banks,
the proceeds to be used in its Far
Eastern colonies.
Forecasts of general business con-
ditions in 1922 are unusually difficult,
in the opinion of conservative OBJ
servers, because of the many uncer-
tainties which beset the era of read
justment and reconstruction.

MILKY WAY NOT AN ACCIDENT
Astronomer at Science Meet Tells
How IL May Have Happened


Toronto, Dec. 30.--Why the Milky
Way? There's a reason, says DIR. E.
E. Barnard of Yerkes observatory.
The streams of stars in the skies
and the vacant lanes between them
may not have been produced acct
dentally, DIR. Barnard told the Amer
lean Association for Advancement of
Science in session here.
DIR. Barnard believes the stars
drifted and settled in space in the
same way that grains Of sand arrange
themselves in regular lines when they
are left stranded by subsiding water.
While astronomers discussed stars,
physicists discussed what is inside the
atom and how il sends out its rays Of
visible and invisible light. Radiant
energy, including light. flows out
from the atoms in "gobs" or Jumps,
according 20 the Quantum theory
which replaced Einstein's as the tonic
Of discussion among the physicists.

GREAT BRITAIN PAYS NO ship SUBSIDY

To prove the untruth of claims
by ship subsidy advocates, President
Gompers made inquiries at the Brit
ish embassy at Washington, and was
informed that Great Britain pays no
ship subsidies.
In conveying this Information to
organized labor, Mr.. Gompers said:
"Opposition to the ship subsidy
scheme is growing rapidly. The mis-
representation INDUCED in by those
who are trying to impose a subsidy
upon the people is having it's effect.
For instance, cartoons are being
printed in the press that is easily
reached by the publicity agents of
the shipping board setting forth that
Great Britain pays subsidies to Brit
ish ship owners.

tional:: work. Her: work in. Gilbert
for nine'a years f. has been to- train
teachers for rural schools. She was
chosen by the ~state2sdepartment Of
education four years ago to make
a survey of the rural schools of the
county.
For the past two years Miss O'Con-
nor has served as vice president of
the State Americanization Council
and at the present time she lis on a
state committee working on Teach
ers' Tenure. -:
There is no one who has more in
terest in the foreign people than
Miss Martha O'Connor. In one in
stance her loyalty to them was put
to the test. The story runs like this:
tentioned foreign men were wrong
fully thrown into Jail and then sent
to Duluth for trial. They were .ac-
cused of being Communists, against
the government and were in danger
Of being deported. Miss O'Connor,
who was convinced Of their inno-
cence, first went about to secure bail
for those who needed it and then
bent her energies to see that they
had fair tratment. She left her
school and went to Duluth to plead
for them at their Federal hearing.
1t was largely though her efforts
that these innocent men were ac-
quilted.
Mr.. Doe, the U. S. naturalization
examiner, says of her: She has
been an inspiration to: her commu-
nifty and to the entire county Of St:
Louis for the past six years in her
Americanization work."

Congressman From Alabama
Questions Harding's Power.

This government is not a one-man
affair, declared Congressman Hud-
dleston Of Alabama, in referring to
this. closing statement by the presi-
dent in his message to congress-:
'Wherefore, I am resolved to use
all the power of the government to
maintain transportation and sustain
the right Of men to work."
THE presidents peroration is
merely idle buster and rotund
platitude," declared Congressman
Huddleston. The president is not
the government. There is no gov
eminent in or of the United States
except that composed of three CO.
ordinate branches, of which the pres
ident represents only one-the ex-
ecutive.
Neither the president nor federal
government has any constitutional
warrant to protect strike breakers,
The American system of sovereign
states yet remains. The states hay
ing reserved their police powers to
themselves are exclusively charged

der. There is, Of course, the federal
authority to protect the mails and
other property of the federal gov
eminent, to protect the states
against invasion and to protect the
states against domestic violence
ANY attempt on the part Of the
president in running the domestic
affairs of state or to busy himself
in the preservation of order which
may not be in strict conformity to
the constitution and statutes will
constitute an usurpation far more
} serious in it's consequences than any
disorder of which irresponsible strik-
ers or other persons might be guilty.
Such an usurpation, as, an. act of
lawlessness committed by the chief
executive, would j. be an !offense

Not by Revolution.
That something, is co-opera-
ton, not by revolutions not by.
law, but by the voluntary acts of:
the people themselves. Revolu-
tons may have succeeded in re-
generating I governments, but
they invariably destroy industry.
That is the lesson history teaches.
The development of industry has
been through the evolutionary:
process from the beginning. 1t
can not be otherwise. :

The association has two primary
objects-one to provide a safe insti-

the other to furnish an agency which

now under way beginning at
the intersection of Franklin

main artery leading out to the
Mason test oil well.
The bed of the road was
deep in dry sand and it is now
being covered with red clay. 1t
makes a very good surface
when the sand works up and
mixes with the clay, as has
previously been demonstrated
here.
The work is being done by
private subscription and while
a realization of its need was

was some incentive, of course.
The work is in charge of Mr..
