LEAD MOST FAVORED
 OF THE BASE METALS

Lead occupies the most advan- tageous position of any of the base metals. Close control of the indus try, which is concentrated in the hands of comparatively few large power ful operators, effectually dampens wide price fluctuations and tends to eliminate overproduction during slack periods, with corresponding accumula- tion of large unsold metal stocks. Supply and demand have been nicely adjusted for some time, judging from the steadiness of the market at it's present readjusted level.
 Domestic lead production in 1921 declined only 209o to 390,000 tons, as compared with 476,s49 in 1920. World output over the same periods ton- traeted from approximately 100000 short tons to SS5,000, as against l. 127,5O0 in 1914. The wartime world record was only 1,3O0,0O0 short tons.
 Foreign metal movements were maintained in a high level in 1921. Total exports are estimated at 33,70O tons, as compared with 26,26s in the preceding annual period. Imports, which for the years 1916 to 1919 in- elusive, had been a little over 5000 tons a year, advanced to 35,719 in 1920, and held at 32,000 for 1921, The 9eavy import movement was stimu'at- ed by prostrated European exchange facilitating marketing operations Ill this country in terms of gold.
 The price average fo2 the year IS compu. ed at 4.39 ceuts pound' with 3.9O "low," and 505 "high." The war-peak average was only S.92 cents a pound, St. oLuis basis. In 19l5' metal sold down to $50 cents pound. Present rates indicate that lead has suffered least in proportion of any of the base metals.
 Absence of unwieldy unsold lead ac- cumulations has proven the most i'm portant factor, from the market standpoint. Supplies available for consumption are closely co-ordinated with the actual demand. This is pos sible through the close control of the industry, as we'll as the formidable tariff wall of 2596 ad valorem. The foreign situation has. been i'm, measurably strengthened by the par tition of Silesia adversely to Germany It is estimated that 86%o of the zinc and 77@o of the lead ore resources were awarded to Poland. Polish tech nicalability is not believed equal tc the task of operating these mines anc smelters efficiently. Production should thereby be materially curtail ed, as Germany will be confined tt the Westphalian mineral reserves.
 The Spanish labor situation ha: been unsettled over much of 1921, anc lead ore output has suffered accord ingly. Australian difficulties were Hfurther complicated by low meta prices and consequent severe curtah Eent in mine operations. Mexican kluction was held down by retrench
 of smelting operations, ant

SPIRIT ALWAYS MAIN FACTOR

n -
~ man Who g5tks with bis brain
after passing sIeepless night, or
when in the clutches of some dIscom-
forting indisposition, often does not
see how he is possibly going to get
through with his days stint. He goes
at It, however, and is almost always
surprised to find that he works mere
rapidly and successfully than when
fine and fit. We suppose this is be-
cause, feeling the necessity, he con-
centrates more determlnedly on what
is before him. The fact that he is
rather tired and i'll, and therefore has
little temptation or ambition to 80
afeld in the flesh or the spirit may
also have something to do with it.
Whatever the explanation, it is the
truth. ~,
Perfect health is q glorious thing
to have, yet its relationship to sue
cess In life is much exaggerated. A
very large percentage Of the worlds
best work has been done by men who
did not feel well most of the time they
were doing II. Astounding health, like
unlimited riches, involves Its tempta-
tions and its handicaps. One feels
too much like cutting short the houra
of labor and going out and having
fun. Thus the theory Of compensation
works out. ., -.
The spirit, not the body, is what
really cOunts-the will, not the
stomach. ....'

Gold is. the only yeai money but it
must be locked up IN our vaults and
not circulated as money. Paper rep
resentatives" Of the gold, being less
cumbrous to handle, will serve con-
yeniently as currency; but it must be
based" on gold. Ordinarily this
enormous stock of gold would permit
of a considerable increase of paper
currency and of bank credits; but such
expansion would be unwise now be-
cause we are in the midst of period
Of deflation.
Could there be more palpable ex-
hibition Of the breakdown Of the gold
basis fallacy? The balance of trade is
enormously in our favor, but all we
can get from Europe is a lot of worth
less yellow metal in return for the real
wealth in the shape OF iron, steel and
machinery and food and clothing ex-
ported by us! Business is dull be-
cause of enormous falling off in cur
foreign trade! International exchange
is in a chaotic condition, because Eu-
rope is not producing and so is not able
either to sell to us or buy from us to
any large extent!
The use of gold, even in settlement
OF trade balances between nations, is
responsible for chaotic conditions of
international exchange"
And gold as basis for medium Of
exchange having so badly begged legi-
innate business. is it not about time
that we set about finding a more salts
factory mechanism ?-Dearborn Inde-
pendent.

TOO MUCH GOLD
American Business Suffers From
Dangerous Moncply.


Dangerous MoncpIy.
The view put forth by several lead
ing financial writer's that monopoly
Of gold is an increasing menace and is
hurtful to business, Is strongly sup
ported by the Merchants and Metals
National Bank. Of New York, in its
current review of business and finance.
Our whole banking and credit system
and our position as an international
financial leader, it Is declared, are af-
fected in a peculiar and perpleXing
fashion by the quantity of gold that
fills the vaults of the Federal Reserve
banks at this time.
And it seems that there is no like
lihood of an early cessation of the i'm
port movement. Inability 10 correct
the chaotic condition Of international
exchange because Of our enormous
credit balances makes this inward flow
of gold inevitable, We are told.
Oddly enough, this high authority
warns us against any reversal of the
present course Of the Federal Reserve
banks in the direction Of an imitation
of credits ito the extent which would
ordinarily be warranted by Our owner
ship Of -fifths Of the worlds gold,
stock steadily increasing by the flow
to our shores of the yellow metal from
the four corners of the earth. This
supply of gold. it is stressed, cannot
be indefinitely retained on this side
of the ocean and must be regarded in
the nature of trust fund for those
nations which, when financial order be-
gins TO be restored, will require it"
The reasoning is rather confused

MY dear, it's simply too thrilling
for words, Just think of Griggs, kick

one Of the numerous feminine fans
at the Butler-Wabash game.
Not so very many years ago foot
ball was considered such a rough and
disgusting game that even the boys
who were interested were thought to
be rowdies and as for young ladies
being interested, oh, dear me, no, it
would have been too shocking for
words. Now football is one OF the
most fashionable Of outdoor sports

Must Like Game


Success in college football rests
upon the same broad foundation as
does success in any other line OF en-
deavor. II a man does not enjoy
playing football for its own sake and
IS not possessed Of the Will power 10
perfect himself in the game to the
very limit Of his capacity TO do 90,
he can no moro expect to reap the
rewards Of a successful football ca
reer than ne could expect to be sue
cessful in any other line OF work in
which he might engage in a half
hearted manner In other words, he
must be willing to pay the price.
Finally. 10 sum it all up in answer
70 the question. Why high school
stars do not make good in college. ."
we may say that some never were
stars, while other real stars lose their
athletic ability before they get to col
lege, either because they were
burned out" In high school by too
much work. or because they are Just
naturally athletic in their teens and
odd" men in their twenties
Still other high school stars fail In
college because the diversified life Of
college causes them to scatter their
attention and energies upon 80 many
and varied interests.
Not the least Of these varied inter
ests are girls and dates" AS a re-
suit the classroom and the football
field are equally neglected. and the
erstwhile high school star becomes a
mediocre man on the last string Of
the squad.
In brief. granting that the high
school star has the potentialities
requisite for him to make the varsity.
he must devote his undivided atten-
ton TO a two-part curriculum Of stud
les and football. II he would continue
his high school success in football on
through his college career.
