TODD SEES A GOOD YEAR
FOR ELECTRIC ROADS
Three Cities Discard Buses
After a Trial.

Conditions in the electric railway in
dustry OF the United States inspire
"hopc fer and confidence in IT'S future
success" said Robert I. Todd. president
OF the American Electric Railway Asso-
citation, in statement issued yesterday.
To confirm his statement Mr.. Todd
pointed out that but nine companies
went into receiverships in 1921. They
represented 40 miles of tack and
capitalization of s4,l4o.400. In 1920.
Mr.. Todd recalled. sixteen companies
failed with 9se miles of track and a
total capitalization of s25.ai3.655, while
in 1919 forty-eight companies with
capitalization OF s22I.259,354 went into
the hands of receivers.
Mr.. Todd said that receipts during the
first six months of 1921 showed sub
stantial increases: that the decreases OF
later months were less than in most
other lines of business; that the long
expected drop In wages and material
costs Is at hand. although both items
arc still double what they were in 1914.
and that gradually increasing inn
provemcnt is seen in the relationships
between the public and tie electric rail-
ways.

electric railways as the chief means OF

America First, but Not
America Selfish-Speyer

JAMES sPEYER, international
banker, said yesterday IN a
- New Year message:
"In our dealings with foreign ma
tions, and this applies also to the
debt they owe us, II is well to re-
member what President Harding
said a little while ago: America
first But America first does not
mean America seltlsh.' Whether
there will be an international eco
nomic conference or not. we. as the
great creditor ration OF the world.
NS..l soon have an opportunity 10
put this maxim TO the test. In the
meantime, we may feel certain that
the great majority of Americans
know that, while it is natural that
each individual or class should
think of his or it's own individual
Interests first and try 10 further
them. NJ one, whether he belongs
to capital or labor, viii benefit in
the long run by too selfish and mar
row policy toward his fellowmen."

I AS INSANITY CASES
PUT UNDER STATE CARE

Increase OF 1,445 patients in New
York Stat hospitals for the insane over
1920 was announced yesterday by the
State Charities Aid Association. which
made "A report 10 tho State Hospital
Commission. This Is the largest annual
increase on record. There are thirteen
state hospitals for the insane and the
number of PATIENTS including paroles -
was 1876.
In the last ten years. the report says.
the State barely has been able to house
its insance charges and at the close of
the year the hospitals We're crowded
6,64e beyond their rated capacity. This
~ % per cent overcrowding, an increase
of per cent. over 1920. Only the rapid
development OF the parole system has
made possible the housing OF the more
serious cases. In 1911 only I'll patients
were on parole from state hospitals, but
at the end of the last fiscal year 1850
patients had been released on parole.

HAVE HOPE IN 1922,
SAYS WAvNAMAKER
Adjustments to Come This
Year, Is Merchants Viev.

EVERY good American mast look into
the new year hopefully" said John
Wanamaker in New YesG statement
There are still the conditions of high
wages, high costs. high rents high taxes
to be met and dealt with. There Will
have to be an adjustment OF these things
before business can get on an even keel.
Every business man wishes. OF
course. that it could all be settled at
once by some single sweeping action,
adjusting wages. adjusting costs. adjust
ing prices, adjusting rents. adjusting
taxes, all coming down together. But
IL will have to be worked out gradually
by the good sense and reasonableness of
both employees and employers. and by
a good common sense reduction of the
Federal expenditures and Federal taxes
that have become so burdensome.
But let us not be discouraged The
nation Is full of life and health. It has
the right spirit and Is not panicky
minded; 1t has great opportunities.
greater than the opportunities OF any
other nation in the world
I'VE made progress in 1921. We are
better off than we were in 1921. The
year 1929 will continue to be "A year OF
settling down, and getting nearer to an
even keel"

Maggie" is the veteran cook Of a
downtown restaurant Yesterday her
employer. who happens to be woman
with nook IN her heart for holiday
cheer provided a New Years dinner for
perhaps the most diverse patrons she
has ever gathered III her sea food res
taurant. Certainly Maggie. in her
more than twenty-five years alliance
TO kettles and frying pans, had never
seen such an occasion.
Maggie" has baked, broiled, stewed
and roasted for the delectation of the
palates Of Judges brokers, clerks, ste
nographers-and just ordinary folk--a
multitude as diverse in tastes as the
days of the years she has worked. Yes
terday. however. she cooked for men o.
the Bowery. men south of Fourteenth
street" whom Mrs Martha Libby had
invited the Salvation Army to send
10 her restaurant as guests for Il New
Year feast. The men came by selection
from the Bowery Memorial Hotel and
from the relief department of the Saliva
tion Army, and seventy-five happier be-
ginnings OF the New Year resulted for
seventy-five hungry men. There was
cheer in Fulton street in spite of an
otherwise dull. dreary downtown holiday
Sunday.
"Maggie'S" tables were III succession
laden with oranges. clam chowder, SAL
mon. pork and lamb chops. pie and
coffee. When those disappeared she
sent on through her hostess cigars and
cigarettes. When az length there were
no more big Bowery appetites there was
entcrtanmcnt--legc by Elmer

and Harold Normanton, and finally
tories. The men sang THE DoXology"
and clecred their hostess 10 the echo.

Decline in Hardware.

ST.. LOUIS. Jan. 1.-The volume o.
business In 1921 was appreciaoly less in
dollars and cents than in 1929, but there
was not so much difference in the actual
tonnage of goods distributed. The prob
able decrease In tonnage was about ! 5
per cent, though It is difficult 10 make
more than an approximate estimate OF
such comparison on account Of the de-
cline in prices. The present prospect is
for an exceedingly slow but gradual,
steady Improvement. depending almost
entirely upon the coordination in prices
of farm products in relation to other
commodities. w. D. SIMMONS,

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
InoN MouNTMN, Mich, Jan I'm a
statement made here Henry Ford said
the outlook for 9 business boom in 1929
is up TO the retailer and that prices are
the key to the solution OF again putting
business on its feet.
Mr.. Ford believes idle factories and
jobless men add increased weight 10 his
opinions on the necessity Of action on
the problem of rebuilding business.
he believes existing costs are the
chief factor in the present market con-
ditions and business depression and he
expresses confidence that when retailers
reouce prices business will boom. High
prices cause slow trade. he declares and
this necessarily slows up industries.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 1.-Conditions
last year in the canned salmon business
were measurably better than those OF
