Is all true.
"Once upon a time there was a
girl who was shy and didn't make
friends easily. No one paid much
attention to her. She could go
along the street without any one
speaking to her or more than just
glancing at her.
Then one day an Irishman said
to her, I'll give you a charm to
wear that will make people feel
that they are your brothers and
sisters. It's a very old charm and
sure to work
"The girl didn't think much of it
at first, but she agreed to try it. So
she wore the charm one day and
started down the street. And sure
enough, nearly everybody she saw
smiled at her or wished her good
morning, and made her feel so
good she was happy all the day.
1t was the charm, you see, that

What was the charm?" asked
Kathleen.

An automobile directed by wire

and mail to people on the roof gar
den Of the Pennsylvania hotel in
New York city, where the dele
gates to the Radio exposition are
assembled this week. The conven
ton began March Z. Sixty exhib'
its of radio equipment by different
manufacturers will be shown. The
worlds championship speed con,
test was scheduled for Thursday
and Friday evenings. Many inter
esting questions were to be dis
cussed, for instance, why radio
waves may range up to 10 miles in
length, and light waves down to
the billionth part of an inch; why
light will not turn corner and
wireless waves will curve around
the surface Of the earth.

Isle, Once Richmond
Junior, Writes About
Hike IN Foothills
a Hike in the Foothills

The town In which we live Is
surrounded on the north and east
by high foothills of the Sierra
Madre mountains.
One morning, three of us took a
hike up in these hills. Walking
about twelve blocks from my home
we came to the end of street
where steps lead up to trail
This trail was very steep, as far
as the reservoir; then it began to
wind around and up high hill.
After getting to the top of one
hill, we would cross to another,
and SO on, until we reached the
top of the very highest one, where
a flag-post stands.
From this elevation we could see
Mt. Wilson, Mt. Lowe, and Old
Badly, with their snow-capped
peaks, to the north, and the Santa
Monica mountains to the west. We
could see Signal Hill, Long Beach,
with its oil derricks, 20 miles away.
Another Is miles farther we could
see Catalina Island rising up out of
the Pacific. OF course, Whittier,
far below US, made q pretty sight,
nesting in its citrus and English
walnut groves.
Coyotes used to roam in these
hills and deep canyons, but now
they are dotted with oil wells.
Ferns grow in some of these can
yons and bushes of holly and mis-
tletoe on their sides-Lisle Brum-
field, age 9 years, Whittier, Calf.
Isle lived in Richmond until a
year or two ago and wrote back
these interesting stories of real
things near his new home in Whit
tier, Calf, for Junior readers.

Bradstreet's Report

New York. Sept. lo.-Eradstrccts to-
morrow Will say:
The better feeling visible in trade
and industry as a result of the rail
strike settlement has been increased
by further Improvement in the railway
traffic situation. while rains and cooler
weather in large crop areas have given
an impetus to fall buying. which is,
however. conccdcdlY late. 1t is prob
able. too, th"t the apparent approach
Of the end OF nearly two years of New
tariff bill agitation has been beneficial,
whatever tn" immediate result AS to
duties may be- There is. of course. a
great deal of irrcgularity still visible
in various lines. but the big salient
feature that American industry is not
to he longer starved in the matter or
fuel supply has undoubtedly made up
for i speeding up of industry. which
slowed down 20 dangerously in some
limos in August. Wholesale and job
bin" trade has been better at many
cities Retail trade has also mcasu:-
ably improved: industry, particularly
in iron and steel and New England cot
ton manufacturing. has gone ahead
with more confidence: demand from
atrikc-riddcn regions has again begun
to manifest life. and collections are a
shade better.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-09-16

this one. because it tends to increase
industrial costs when there still is
need to reduce them. 1t is not a
good sign to have iron advancing
when wheat and corn are declining.
The chief cause of depression during
the past year was the unbalanced
state of industry, great numbers OF
would-be consumers being unable to
buy freely because their own products
did not give them the required pur-
chasing power over other products,
held at higher level Of values. This
unbalanced situation still exists, and
this move in the steel industry, while
it may be toward adjustment on the
basis of coal mining, is not toward
general readjustment.
Balanced Situation Needed
It cannot be too plainly stated that
what is wanted to give the best gen.
eral result is a balanced situation
among the industries with full and
steady employment and ready sale
for products at fair prices all around.
Somebody has to pay for abnormally
high prices, and unless the pay of all
classes rises or falls together, con-
sumption is curtailed and prosperity
is checked
The coal strike has been settled in
the bituminous industry, and seems to
be near settlement in the anthracite
district. The miners have won a
complete temporary victory, going
back to work at the old scale, the
highest ever known, despite the ef-
forts Of the President Of the United
States to persuade them to submit
the case to arbitration The settle
ment, however, is really only a tenn
porary suspension of hostilities; the
old agreement is renewed until April
1st next, when the whole subject will
be reopened. The only step of prog
ress is an agreement for the appoint
ment of fact-hnding commission
which is to report by January !, 1928.
Strike Of Railroad Shopmen
The strike Of railroad shopmen con-
tinues. The roads unquestionably are
embarrassed by it, but are handling
a larger volume of traffic than in any
year except 1920. The shopmen have
waived every claim except that to
seniority rights which they possessed
when they went out.
The paramount question in these
strikes evidently is not the particular
disputes causing them. but the .ques-
ton OF how to protect the interests
Of the public, which are far more
important than those of the imme-
date parties. Not FIVE per cent. OF
the people Of the United States are
directly interested in mining coal TAX
ing employers and employees toge.
