THE OUTLOOK is ENCOURAGING.

The real basis for confidence In the course of busi-
ness In 1922 is now clear. Notwithstanding the Sc
we're depression during the past year, purchases by
the American people in terms of physical volume were
sufficient to absorb to a large extent accumulated
stocks SO that a gradual increase in output of many
classes of manufactures may be expected. Future
needs must be supplied primarily from current pro-
duction. This means greater business activity and eM-
plains the expansion in manufactures which has taken
place in recent weeks.
The general tone Of business during the first two
weeks of january has been encouraging. The total
physical volume Of retail trade is good. Sales in agri-
cultural districts continue slower than in cities, with
trade in the east and northeast and in southern Cali
fornia cities better than In the remainder of the coun-
try. Necessities are selling much better than are
Injuries, and this was characteristic of the Christmas
trade. Although 1t is generally recognized that buy
ers in all lines will wisely continue to be cautious as
to future commitments, it seems probable that there
will be a moderately well-sustained distribution of
goods into wholesale as well as into retail channels.
Unemployment is unquestionably widespread, but
probably its extent has been somewhat over-estimated.
Special measures undertaken to lessen it, particularly
public works, are doing much to alleviate it's worst
features. The major part of the productive energy
of the country is absorbed in clothing, feeding and
sheltering the population. Farmers certainly will not
buy heavily, but they must have such foodstuffs as are
not produced on farms, as well as necessary clothing.
They must buy some farm implements, for even with
the more careful repairing which is increasingly prac-
t:ced, a certain proportion of farm machinery stead
lily becomes unusable. They will buy some fertilizer,
and they will buy articles of convenience and even of
luxury to some extent.
Railroads have made notable gains In economy of
operation, and improved credit conditions have dein-
itely bettered their outlook, although traffic is at pres
emit disappointing in volume. The heavy decline in
tonnage, serious as it has been, has primarily been the
result of lessened shipments of coal, iron ore and
similar heavy commodities. Reasonable buying of
rails, cars, locomotives and other equipment may be
expected during the current year.

LET THE SKIRTS ALoNEi

when mere men," asserts the st. Paul Pioneer
Press, whether they are doctors or health commits
sioners or just ordinary men, busy themselves with
the length of the skirts as n hygienic proposition, and
the use of low shoes and silk stockings as a menace
to health we may be %pardoned for suspecting their mo-
tives and even traducing them. At regular intervals

to tread on unbidden ground, and most frequently a
health commissioner, who must pose as a slave to duty,

chatting naughtiness to the subject. Does it do any
good? Not the least in the world. These same men
no doubt would prefer to talk of chemisettes and bras
seres, but they lack the pretext.
But Health Commissioner Copeland of New York
goes after elusive fame from the other angle. He says
the skirt and the stocking and the low shoes are re-
moved from the list of hygienic issues; peril, he main
tains, lies only in the matter of the daily habit. Place
and circumstances alone must dictate the danger as
well as the good taste of feminine apparel. Whether
he ever permitted his eye to rest with mingled wonder
and admiration upon a specimen of the genus fapper,
muffled in furs from shoulder to knee-a midbody pic
trre of winter with the extreme of summer suggested
by exposed throat and discriminating calves-wheth-
err he found such a picture easy to the eye, We say, is
a matter of conjecture. From what he says, probably
not; though not from lack of opportunity.
1.-THE designer may say an effective word on this
subject Of attire, though we doubt it. Assuredly the
doctor may not. He has not had time to marshal a
lot of statistics showing the fatality of knee skirts and
and all he can do is to preach.
So if he continues it will be because he likes the sub
ject. And if the laity keeps up the talk it will be
open to the same suspicion. The subject might as well
be dropped, as there is no likelihood that the skirt

BUSINESS AND FEDERAL TAXES.

The new federal tax law, while not all that has been
hoped for, is more favorable to business than the pre-
ceding act. In a period such as the present. in which
losses have been widespread, the new net loss pro-
vision will greatly benefit businesses which are strug-
Cling to re-establish themselves. Net business losses
incurred in the calendar year 1921 or thereafter may
be carried forward and deducted from the income of
the succeeding year, and If need be, from that Of the
next succeeding year.
In the year ended June 80, 1921, actual tax re-
ce;pts were s4,97s.s 100000 For the fiscal year 1929,
receipts are estimated at 8 ,56s, 600, 900, a decrease
of approximately s1,40o, o00, 900. This reduction in
the aggregate of the federal tax levy is largely made
possible by greater economy in expenditure, and sig
oaliIes the first definite achievement toward lessening

CALDER ENDORSES LAW
FOR OLD AGE PENSIONS
Makes Announcement os
Joining Order of Eagles.

Senator Calder Endorsed the old age
pension plan at a meeting Of the Brook
lyn Aerie Of the Order of/Eagles at 81
Hanson place. Brooklyn. yesterday after
noon. The Senator was one Of eight
candidates for membership to the Aerie.
and he came prepared to ride the goat II
necessary. but found no such ordeal on
the initiation program.
In the open meeting after the initia-
tion the Senator spoke Of the old age
pensions for which the order Is CAM
paigning. and pointed out that aremen
and policemen were now entitled to PEN
sions.
The workmen's compensation law and
the widows pension were merely the
forerunners. he said. Of old age pensions.
He predicted that they would be In effect
here and elsewhere within ten years.
THE man who has become aged In
years Of worthy labor has right to a
pension" he said.
The Senator was impressed, he said.
with the simplicity and the directness of
the initiation ceremony and 'the lack OF
effort to frighten or impress U.S." With
him on the platform were F. H. La

Six years prior to this tremendous

passed the act for the preservation
of American antiquities by which
certain reservations are put under

more than million acres, including
the valley Of Ten Thousand Smokes

regions reserved under the title Of
national monuments.
Although not likely to be included

CALIFORNIA; Phenomenal Runner.

While PADDOCK, the California
sprinter, will always be remembered
as a phenomenal runner. his best
title to fame will come through his
record of IL seconds for IT'S yards,
made recently on the Pacific coast.
Athletic authorities at one time
had way Of referring to sprinters
of quality as men who could run in
even time. One hundred yards was
considered the standard distan-e and
10 seconds the standard time. When
ever a runner was capable of shad-
ing this time he was referred to as
being yard or some other distance
better than evens.
A 10 second man was talked about
in the amateur ranks a generation
ago, although a number of profess
sionals could beat that figure. With
the improvement of the cinder paths
---cinders make an ideal running
track when rolled firmly-came faster
time. and chronometers registering
ffths Of a second instead of quarters
soon recorded an amateur as run
The New York herald., 1922-07-10

ming In better than evens. Training
methods improved also. and soon
most Of the colleges boasted each OF
man who could do his hundred
yards in 10 seconds and several won
races in 9 As seconds.
Taking PADDocK's record of IL sec
onds for ITS yards, an analysis shows
him running the distance In five
yards better than even time, per-
formance of such merit that 1t Will
probably remain on the books for
years unless PADDOCK himself should
beat it within the next year or two.
PADpocK's running lacks the
smoothness shown by some great
amateur runners, but he gets over
the ground in amazing fashion. put
ting a world of power into his stride
and gradually gaining a momentum
which smothers his rivals at the fin
ish of race.
The young Californian is one Of
those men singularly gifted by ma
ture who appear periodically in the
world of athletics. The people Of the
Pacific coast may well be proud of
him and his track records,

The House That Browne Built.

HorHAM BROWNE Of Workington,
Cumberland, England, has just fin
ished the brick work of the Oxford
Theatre in the town Of his residence.
He did the job single handed, laying
100000 brick in two years. He did
not follow union rules; II he had
given obedience to the regulations
enforced by organized labor in his
home he would have laid only 450,-
900 brick in twenty-four months.
Under union restrictions Theater
Builder BROWNE would have needed
three years, one month, ten days and
a half day to do the work which took
two years of his time.
When BROWNE put his one hum
dred thousandth brick in place his
neighbors named the structure he
was at work on Brownies Monu-
ment." Now they call 1t "The House
That Browne Built" This seems
better name for the theater than that
which it's builder has chosen for 1t;
there are probably scores Of oxford
Theaters" built by union labor at the
rate Of 100000 brick to the man a
year. There is said to be no other
theater of good size in the empire
which compares with The House
That Browne Built in historic and
economic interest.
The House That Browne Built will
seat 1,400 persons. Perhaps its man
ager may have trouble in getting
union men and women to run 1t. The
union musicians may refuse to play
in it.; union actors may refuse to
tread its stage; union motion picture
operators may decline to focus the
light from projectors on its screen;
union grips may scorn to shift its
scenery. But If this happens the
manager need not despair.
All that will be necessary for him
to do is to call on HoTHAM BROWNE
for help. The man who has the cour-
age and the stamina to exercise his
inherent right to work single handed
as he pleases at what he pleases, un-
afraid Of trade unionist politicians
and undeterred by scoffers, has the
wit and the grit to run theater sin
gle handed, from the electric sign for
which stars wrangle to the stage
door at which, according to humor-
lists, young men await their friends
of the chorus. No doubt HoTHAM
BROWNE could write a good drama
and then act 1t we'll.

On page 136, however. he does give this
