BUSINESS BETTER

Business IL getting better and
at the same time competition Is
becoming keener Retailers need
more merchandise TO meet tthe in
creasing consumer demand but they
insist on better quality, more serv-
ice and more convincing reasons in
placing an order than ever before.
There is going to be more business
but to get it Is going to require
more careful thought, better meth
odsf and harder work than has been
given In the past"

SAYS MARINE
PROJECT WOULD COST
100000 YEARLY

Washington, April 7.-Establish-
ment OF n privately owned merchant
marine through government aid, as
proposed by President Harding and
the shipping board, would necessitate
a maximum treasury outlay of $751;
600, 600 annually, senator and house
committees considering the ship sub
sidy bill were told Thursday by Chair
man Lasker of the board. Enact
ment of the legislation, however.
would put ar end, he commended, to
the $50, 700. 900 yearly loss the ship
ping board is sustaining in operating
its vessels.
! Pressed by Representative Davis.
Tennessee, u Dem ocratic member of
the house merchant marine commit
ter, afopy an estimate of the probable
cost of4the administrations program,
Mr.. I4asker gave general totals with
an explanation that experts would
give details later.
Suggesting that the chairman's esti-
mate did not take into consideration
indirect aids provided for in the
bill, Mr.. Davis asked what their
money value would he.
IT'S useless to try to estimate" Mr..
Lasker replied. adding that funds for
indirect aids" would not come from
the government. Instead of incrcas-
ing the burden on the treasury, he
held, SUCH aids would help increase
the revenues Of shipping companies
which, under the bill, would be re-
quired when their net return exceeded
ten per cent, to turn half the excess
earnings back to the government until
the full amount of. the subsidy was
returned.
In computing 900, 900 as the
probable government expenditure for
direct aid" Mr.. Lasker aid he al
lowed for conversion into the mer-
chant marine fund, $50, 900, 900 to be
derived from customs receipts. s4,-
100000 in. tonnage dues. $1,000, 900
now paid for transportation of GER
tai classes of foreign mails. and $3,-
Q00,00 in construction charges.
Accounting for h remaining $10,-
0O0, 900, the chairman explained II
was expected hat deductions amount
ing to his. figure would be made in
income taxes payable by shipping
companies. The bill provides for
such deductions.
The o S of maintaining the mer-
chant marine naval reserve, which
would be created by the bill, would be
betrayed from the merchant marine
fund the committees were informed,
and would not cause an additional
outlay from the treasury. Cost Of
maintaining the reserve. Mr.. Lasker
estimated, would not, exceed $1,000
600 annually.

CHILDREN OF
FRANCE MADE
HAPPY BY US.
Twenty-Five Fairgrounds
Established in France by
Junior Red Cross.

Paris-Amcrican children have
brought happiness and laughter into
the lives of their little brothers and
sisters in France. The pennies and
dimes which they might have spent
for candy and sweetmeats have en-
ablcd the Junior Red Cross to give
to the children OF Franue, in their
name, rs Fairgrounds and innumer-
able games.
which form so much a part of the
lives of their little kinsfolk in America
are taught the French boys and girls.
As proof of their appreciation of
the generosity of Americas help, the
French themselves have now raised a
fund aim ost equal to thai contributed
by the children of the United States
and are planning to establish a play
ground of the American tyne in every
important district of France.
Run by Americans.
Several Of the Fairgrounds estab-
lished by the Americans are in Paris
and are directed by recreation experts
from the United States. The average
child born during or Immediately aft
er the war, is not inclined to play
with that robust energy n that spirit
of team work necessary to its mem
tai, physical and mora development.
Moreover, games like baseball and
basketball are not common in France
as in America. They must be taught.
One of the principal tasks of the
American instructors is to teach the
French child a spirit of fair play and
u~nselfishness.
The French child is an individualist,
rlaying alone and guarding jealousy
it's own toy. He does not fraternize
or make friends among the children
of the neighborhood. AS a result he
becomes selfish and one-sided. The
Americans are trying to show the
French children the happiness that
comes from community play and team
work. They are introducing group
games to overcome this selfshness
and to inculcate qualities of FAIRNESS,
good nature and ~gallantry,
