west were running day and night. He
found that St. Louis had passed Lynn
as the greatest shoe manufacturing
center in the world; that it now has
the largest shoe factory in the world.
.srhis is due, believe, because st.
Louis is nearer the sources of supply
and nearer the center of population.
And besides, the workingmen there
show more spirit, more interest in
their work.
II asked big shoe manufacturer IN
st. Louis why this spirit was better
there.
.'He replied, because our men are
more in sympathy with their product.
We do not make sumptuous, expensive,
fancy shoes. They come from New
England. We make sturdy, common
shoes. You can't expect man with a
big family and much trouble to be in
terested in the making of stylish boot
for millionairesses. You can expect
him to be interested in making the
sturdy sort of shoe he wears and his
family wears
~ think that manufacturer was
right in good measure. If | were the
mayor Of Lynn or Brockton l would
ship a carload of workingmen west,
lust to let them see how their fellows
are working there"
Mr.. Babson observed that the south
has turned the corner" and will have
a better year in 1922 than in 1921. The

same applies to New England. The
central west is in sorry shape and the
outlook is dubious. The west how
ever, is prosperous. It usually is when
the east is not. And vice versa.
Dairymen and farmers are hit very
hard.
Il saw farmers using corn for fuel,
and not out of viciousness. Country
stores buy corn for coal
Il saw farmer in Illinois give two
bushels Of corn for II eggs, 10 bushels
for a pair of rubbers, and % for one
bushel of apples.
Farmers and dairymen asked mo-
what was the trouble. / told them
this: your products are dependent on
population. Cotton, fruit, and similar
products increase in consumption as
the people are more prosperous and
have more money to spend. A man
becoming rich does not eat any more
corn or drink any more milk than when
he was in moderate circumstances.
Population is not on the increase.
The birth rate is not what it should
be- Millions of immigrants have been
barred from the country.
"Once, when cotton was in slump,
southerners started the slogan buy a
bale of cotton / suggest that you
start q campaign: Get baby
Mr.. Babson suddenly remembered
the sand glass. That was all, the in
terview was over.

ployes. Ford, on the other hand says
to himself, why should the farmer loaf
during the winter?
"Amd he plans to utilize his spare
time by building q factory right In
the very hearts Of the agricultural dis
tricts as long as he can get water
power.
'"The thing that was holding the ears
of Detroit" said Mr.. Babson, was the
air-cooled motor question. Air cooling,
although noisy, is cheaper. 1t burns
less gasoline. But it seems that the
automobile manufacturers by general
agreement have stuck to water cool
ing, all except the Franklin people.
Now the General Motors company
firms will probably follow suit 1t will
mean the scrapping Of an enormous
amount of machinery.
II asked Mr.. Ford if he was going to
have his products air cooled.
Not Just yet" he returned. You
see / have made one change on my
radiator already. Haven't you noticed
that the new cars are less noisy!
Il confessed I hadn't, and asked him
why" !.
I've taken the brass band off
Them" he grinned. Even the loving
father jokes about his child.
Mr.. Ford now stepped out of the
interview-for a few minutes.
On his desk Mr.. Babson keeps three
sand glasses. The sand runs in one
for three minutes, in another for eight
minutes, and in the third for 70 min
utes.
When you arrive the sand glass indi-
Gates the time allowed you. You may
get three, eight or 20 minutes.
While / was there the 20-minute
glass ran out several times. After that
Mr.. Babson forgot to reverse it.
Mr.. Babson is statistician. He
is also a philosopher And / think
like, Ford, he is something of a poet.
He stood as he talked, resting one
foot on the radiator from time to time.
Outside it was cold-about so degrees
below zero. / should say off hand
and brilliant sun was having glorious
fun with the snow. One peek through
the window would set the eyes a-blink
ing.
And Mr.. Babson talked. For the
first time / learned that there is
beauty in statistics, and humor and
strange lessons, as well as knowledge.
When st. Louis Beats Lynn
When Mr. Babson was in South
America the president of the Argentine
republic asked him why South Ameri-
ca, with its superior natural resources,
| was less prosperous than North Amer

son, being guest, did not answer the
question. The president answered it

tician. And that is why he is ex-

haps it would not be out of place here

PRICE REDUCTIONS
HAVE STABILIZED
MOTOR INDUSTRY
BUTLER Believes Auto Prices
Are Now Down to AbsO-
lutte Bed Rock.

"The recent price reductions Of
many of the leading manufacturers
have stabilized the automobile indus
try for the coming year." says George
]. Butler, proprietor Of the Butler
Nash company.
'Prices in the main are now down
TO an absolute bedrock basis and the
industry is prepared to go through the
coming season with an aggressive sell
ing campaign unhampered by a dis
turbance Of the buying market which
always accompanies frequent price re-
adjustments.
This great industry is now back
practically upon a pre-war basis as far
as prices are concerned.
'aTake the Nash Motors company,
for example The Nash SIX was orig
inally placed upon the market at
81 ,295 +. 0. b. Kenosha. This was be-
fore advancing material and labor
costs which came with the war brought
about a general increase in production
costs.

Nash Ska car to which considerably
more than a hundred dollars in value
has been added-the new price is

Six now at a lower price than ever be-
fore in the history Of the company, tax
ing into consideration the betterments
which have actually been made in this
car.
1.-The recent drastic price reduction
was possible only through the expecta-
ton that increased buying and conse-
quent increase in the volume of output
will justify it.
Il believe this to be true Of the
other price reduction just made public.
'In other words. the automobile in
dustry has adjusted its prices upon the
basis of it's belief in the future and not
upon present costs.
1.-THE automobile industry is wisely
one Of the first to get itself in po-
sition where the buying public can have
full confidence that sound and stable
price level has been reached

day of the heavy car is over. To-
morrow it will be an interesting
reliquary of early years.
He believes that the day of the
steel coach is nearly done, that it, too,
is doomed to take it's place among
antiquities.
He is convinced that steel coaches
would have disappeared by now except
for the power the steel manufacturers
hold over the railroads.
Il do not agree with him on that
point. We have steel coaches the way
we wear neckties.'
"SIaves to Convention"
Mr.. Babson, standing framed in the

office pulled at the dark blue scarf be-
meath his beard
Somebody once thought that it
would be good to wear neckties-in-

Ford will make an absolute divergence
if he thinks it expedient.
He plans, for instance, to establish
factories across the agricultural dis

ers may spend their spare time at the
work bench and lathe
In fact, he has already started on
this idea, with factory in New York,
