University Professor Paints
Picture of Ideal City
to Associations

E. H. Vickers, a professor in the
department of economics and so
ciology at West Virginia Univer-
sity, Morgantown, was the princi
pal speaker 1.-THE lun cheon served
in the Grafton Christian Church
yesterday by the members of the
Grafton Chamber of Commerce to
the members Of the Monongahela
Valley Association assembled in
that city for the May meeting of
the organization:
His subject. was What the
Chamber OF Commerce Can Do
and he dwelt at length on the new
slogan among business men-'Busl-
ness Is Service.
IF we live only as those things
that crawl declared the speaker
business is futile.
III He declared for platform among
business men OF something higher
than the mere grinding out OF dol
lars, which, in his estimation. had.
in other years and up until the
present time, been too much in the
foreground in the hopes and ambi-
tions Of the business men Of the
nation.
By taking the higher ground in
a business sense and by working
for the collective community, the
speaker said that returns in cash
would be even greater than by the
old style policy, which he deplored
Professor Vickers said that no
was pleased to note the tendency
to get away from crediting all
great accomplishments to individ-
uals, and the coming to the front
of movements and .'organiza-
tons and drives" He empha-
sized the fact that the greatest
achievements are made through CO
operativeteffort.
Professor Vickers pictured the
ideal city. such as could be brought
about through all civic organiza-
tions working together for the com
mon good and progress Of the com com;
On his program for sucn
a city would come a demand for
value received from every public
servant The prosecuting attorney
would be forced to prosecute; there
would be clean streets. there would
be shade trees planted to beautify
the town, there would be prompt
punishment for miscellane ous ex-
pectoration o nthe public highways
and in public places. He was Wig
orous In his present of the
ned of every public servant giving
value received for the salary he!
drew.
@ The speaker deviated from his
subject long enough to take rap
at Richard Croker, form r Tam
many leader and King OF New
York who died recently. He cit
ed him as an example of corrupt
ness in government and as one
who gained millions through po-
litical graft in the city OF New
York.

SMALL BUSINESS
Hoover Advocates More Lati.
tude in Work Of Trading As
sociations.

NEW YORK, May 10.-New leg
islation to remove the uncertainties
regarding trading association &C
tivities was suggested by Secre-
tary Hoover in an address here to
day before the National Manufae
turers Association Without en-
tering into legal formulation" Mr.
Hoover said, my suggestion is
that there should be a minor extern
sion to the Clayton Act to the eff
feet that interstate trade associa-
tons should be permitted to file
with some appropriate government
agency the plan Of the corporations
and the functions they propose tc
carry on, and that on approval OF
these functions they may proceed
with their operations.
"If. upon complaint, however
either of individuals OF the law Of.
ficers of the governments, that
these functions do restrain trade.
either after a hearing and proof,
the right to continue these particu.
lar functions shall be suspended,
and If continued they shall be sub
ject to prosecution. Also, if it
shall be proved that they have ex-
tended their activities beyond the
functions in their original propos-
ais they shall be subject to prose
cution from restraint of trade viola
lions.
Associations which do not wish
to secure this limited interpreta-
ton OF the law with its assistance
to confidence should not be required
to do so; they, however. assume
themselves the job of interpretat-
ing the law. These ideas would be
inapplicaNe to consultations of
capital. and I would not propose
that they should. All who know
the situation in these associations
will realize that in the main their
membership comprises smaller
business. Such measures will
serve to protect small business for
big busine ss takes care OF itself. !"
Much of the current discussions
of trade ASSOCIATIONS, Mr.. Hoover
declared, settled around a minority
which are, or are thought to be.
guilty Of restraint OF trade acts,
but these were OF concern to him,
he said, only SO far as the hand
ling of them has created a great
uncertainty as to what is or what
is not restraint OF trade.

TUBE PUNcTURED 500
\. TIMES; DOESN'T LEAK

H les ii
Five hundred nai1-ho les without
any leak OF air is thesrecord estab-
lished by new automobile inner
tube invented by Paul B. Goats, a
Chicago electrical engineer 5#
~ Mr.. Coats inner tube was on a
car and in actual use when the
experiment was made. A tire
euage attached recorded no loss of
air although the tube was actually
punctured 500 times by nails.
The new tube is inflated with
air and has the same appearance
as any other inner-tube. Its pune
ture-proof-ability renders practi-
cally unnecessary the changing of
tubes until the casing is worn out,
TIL inventor declares. Cars using
this tube are said to run from
s. 900 to 1900 miles without re
moving tire from any VIII eel. Very
little difference exists between the
price Of this tube and others now

Fairmont District Has Largest
Weekly Attendance With
10Y Men.

With an enrolment OF 1928 as
compared with 444 last year. tbs
years mining extension work vii
be completed by West Virginia
University this week with Il series
of banquets in the different majors

region will banquet hero Thurs

of the university Chief Lambie
and Prof. A. c.. Callen of the Uni
versity will attend the Mount Hope
Banquet on May 10. Professor
Brown will attend the banquet at
Beck1ey the same nigh Il
The increased enrolment over
last year is particularly surprising
in view of the generally unsettled
conditions that have existed in
West Virginia coal fields. Figuret
available up to April 80 show an
average weekly attendance at the
various mining extension classes
OF 445 with six instructors. as com
pared to 2O3 last year with four in;
structors. In considering the per
,centage Of attendance Of the tota:
enrolment. it must be noted that
last year saw the same classes
continued through the year.
Glasses did not run all through this
year, but new classes took the
place of old classes in several
cases.
The F'airmont district had the
largest average weekly attendance
with 1O7. Beckley was second with
"a and Mount Hope third with 81
The statistics compiled on the edu
cational qualifications of the men
taking the work show that the
average for the 1928 men was
z 1-2 years schooling. The Fair
mont field was highest with an
average of nine years. The
Kanawha field was lowest with an
average OF six. years. s<
An Indictment that this work is
not merely to qualify men to take
the examinations for mine foreman
and fire bosses is shown by the
fact that $50 OF the men in the
classes this year already had thei1
state mine foreman papers.
The mining extension instructors
will have short breathing spell
after the conclusion of these field
classes before the opening Of the
tenth annual short course in coal
mining at the university in Morgan:
town. This course opens June II
and extends until July %. Despite
the fact that coal operations are
almost totally stopped in some OF
the sections which have responded
most readily to the mining extern
sion help offered, Professor Callen
good enrolment at
this course. Already there have
been many inquiries in the field
and by letter in regard to the
course.

DECLARES MONEY
NEEDED E. Ell. in TRADE
Soldier Bonus Opposed Except
by Definite Form Of
Taxation.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, May 10.-Hundreds of mil
lions of dollars needed in the usual
channels Of trade, will be tied up
for three years if the House soldier
bonus bill becomes effective, said
Thomas B. McAdams, president OF
the American Bankers Association.
speaking here today before the ex-
ecutive council of the association.
N The bill which has passed the
House, Mr. McAdams said, places
upon the banks the burden of IL
nancing such cash advances as
may be received by the individual
soldier.
while the banks are not ohli-
gated to discount the soldiers note
secured by his participation ce<tifi-
cate" he said, yet failure to do
so will unquestionably submit the
individual institution to charge
Of being unwilling to co.operate
with the government and the sol
der On the other hand, IL these
advances are made, many Of them
will have to be carried as past due
for a period of three years, whea
the government agrees to REIN
burse the banks for advances made.
I'VE can not lightly consider IN
creasing the debt OF our people
over five times the amount OF the
total Indebtedness OF the govern
ment prior to the war, heHccnt1n-
ued, "and Congress has no right to
put the tremendous burden of from
$4,000 100000 to S6.000.00O,0OO upon
our people without at the same
time making specific provision for
the retirement Of the Obligation.
s.lf. however, this be J burden
Which should properly be assumed
by the American people. tFen we
should as loyal Americans meet
the issue at this time and raise,
through a definite form Of taxa
ton, sufficient sums of money to
Lrcvide for the. payment of the OBJ
legation within some reasonable
time limit
Mr.. McAdams also outlined the
work which is being done By banks
is protect themselves against Grim y
.inaIs. This. he said. consists
largely of educating the banker,
himself, SO that through contribu-
tory negligence he will not make it
easy for frauds to be perDetrated.
TIE policy OF the Federal Re-
serve System during the period Of

heartily Endorsed by Mr.. McAtlans.
