most in earning capacity experienced
the biggest enhancement In the market
value OF stocks. In such lines as auto
mobile and steel manufacturing large
gains were registered In relatively few
months. Both were at the bottom when
the depression was at it's severest last
year Steel companies on the average
were operating at considerable less than
25 per cent. of capacity and many auto
mobile factories were all but closed
down. They were not unprepared for
the revival when 1t came, however. Steel
operations have jumped to as high as
95 per cent. In some plants and many
automobile concerns are unable to fill
their orders.
The oil industry, too, has doomed. but
the enhancement in stock valuations
there has been aided more by specula-
tion. perhaps, than In other lines. There
has been real Improvement, though, in
the oil business. Prices for oil products
have recovered substantially from the
lows Of last year and the demand for
oil products has increased remarkably.
especially for gasoline and lubricating
oils.
Rubber Stocks Lag a Little.
1t was to be expected that the rub
ber industry would follow the automobiic
Improvement also. 1t did to some cx-
tent, but there were special factors thai
made 1t difficult to register the same
Improvement. High inventories and the
uncertainties about the price o. crude
rubber acted as brakes and thsre was
not the speculation in rubber stocks
that featured the rest of the list Then,
too. the figures In the foregoing table
as related to the rubber industry are
not so striking as in others by reason of
the relatively low capitalization of these
concerns. This was true also or the
leather industry. and the figures in mat
department do not truely reflect the
vast improvement there.
Much division Of opinion marked to-
bacco stocks The industry advanced
with other lines, but it had not suf-
fered SO greatly as had some others. In
one or two instances individual COM
panies either went to the wall or came
close to doing so in the depression, but
this was moro the result OF special de-
velopments than because of any factor
in the industry generally. The sugar
industry got one OF the hardest cracks
of all in the deflation. and when the
price of refined sugar declined from
around 22 cents a pound to cents most
of these concerns were resiously injured.
Their sharp comeDach mas peeii' .heie-
fore. all the more remarkable.
The better earning ability of the rail-
road companies has resulted less from
larger income than from more econom-
ical operation. Expenses directly after
the roads were returned to their owners
were ridiculously high and for months
Wall Street could see no way out for a
majority of the biggest lines of the
country. The way out was to lower
operating costs on the same gross reve-
nues.

Careful canvass of the markets for

Foreign Trade Improves.

Government statistics for March show
an upward tendency In American for
eign trade. particularly in textiles. Ex-
ports OF all textiles from the United
states during March are valued at $59.-
i65, ,59i as compared with exports valued
at S39 .76l for the same month In 1921.
Particularly noticeable is the increase
in export OF silk dresses. blouscs and
skirts. the figure in March being double
what 1t was at the beginning of the
year.
The monthly review OF department
store sales by the New York Federal
Reserve agent for March shows de-
cline of per cent. compared with the
same month in 1921. This reduction is
accounted for in part by the late Easter
which resulted IN many spring pur-
chases being postponed until April.

Improvement for the week. as evidenced

The Baby Comes In.

That three-month-old baby at Ellis
Island, whose Polish mother was en-
titled to admission as former resi-.
dent of the United States. will also be
admitted. Secretary Davis sees to
that. He, recognizing the absurdity Of
the rigid rule Of the quota, which in
strict application would separate par
ents from children, states that he will
never make a decision that will have
that effect 1t is gratifying to know
that this humane. sensible view is
taken by the head Of the immigration
service. The fact, however, remains
that strictly speaking the law would
keep that baby out The most i'm
portant point involved In this case is
that 1t illustrates the possibilities Of
the law. The consanguinity test rather
than the numerical quota would be a
safer basis of exclusion and admission.
The Secretary Of Labor, charged with
the duty Of administering the law, has
nothing to do with what it might be or
what it should be. He mas to take it
as it has been written by Congress,
and in The administration of this
statute Secretary Davis has fortunate
~ displayed broad spirit of humanity
and consideration.

Traffic Offenders and Court.

At a meeting Of the subcommittee of
the House District committee named
to consider the traffic court bill yester-
day. the two members present failed
to agree on the essential principle Of
the measure, that Of creating a sepa>
rate court for the consideration of the
particular class Of offenses. One of the
members declared himself opposed to
putting the motorist into q class apart,
and urged that a man who killed q
child with his automobile ought not to
be tried before a separate tribunal.
A traffic court should not. Of course,
try cases Of this character. It should
be given Jurisdiction over the enforce
ment Of the traffic rules, not of the
criminal laws. It should deal with
those who break the regulations rather
than those who break the statutes.
OF course, q traffic court would not
take cognizance of statutory offenses.
Manslaughter is usually the charge in
q case such as that suggested. where
q motorist causes the death Of an
other person. This would naturally
70 before the grand jury and trial
would result from an indictment and
would be had in the criminal court.
A trah1c court would be of some ad-
vantage to motorists, inasmuch as 1t
would permit earlier hearings and a
minimum Of delay in court. But it
would be chiefly to the advantage Of
the public, inasmuch as it would re-

The Prolougstion Of Life.

There is great encouragement in the
figures of the census bureau on Ion
gevity, which show that people are in
dubitably living longer than they did
in the past. In 1850 there were 713
more centenarians living than in 1910.
OF these. s,7os were women and 1861
were men. which suggests that women
are living longer than men. This in
dication is furthermore carried out by
the classification In groups, each com.
prising fipe-year age periods. In the
ages Of 70-74 there was a gain of
2s1 ,254;' in the 1919 class a gain Of
1ss,25s; in the S0-s4 class a gain Of
S1,015; in the $3.50 class a gain Of
33,721; in the 1904 class a gain of
6,507; in the 95-S9 class a gain of
2,1sS, and in the 100-year-plus class
the gain, as already stated, is 7i2. In
each Of these classes the women far
outnumber the men,.
Come to think of 1t, the news Of
centenarians has been so frequent of
late years as to become almost COM
monplace. An item stating that WON
an or a man past the century mark
has died or is still active in some
striking way creates but little interest.
There are cases Of active, vigorous

Will Remain Where He Is.

Ambassador Herrick denies a report
that he will soon retire from his pres.
ent Office and enter the senatorial race
in Ohio. He likes the French billet.
and will continue in it.
Mr.. Herrick Is exceedingly well
placed in Paris. No better appoint
ment stands to the credit Of the I'D.
ministratim. AS he had seen service
In the post-was filing 1t when the
world war rbegan-his return was most
agreeable 10 the French people. who
remembered how well and easily he
had risen to the war emergency. He
brought order out of a sort of chaos
for a large number of Americans who
were travelling in Europe when the
storm broke. In that way he made
high reputation both in France and at
home.
The French billet ranks high in i'm
portance on our diplomatic list and calls
for an incumbent familiar with diplo-
matte work. Europe is still in ferment.
and Paris. as matters stand. is the
center of Europe. The American am
bassador. therefore, has opportunity
to observe much and report on much
of great interest to US.
In the Senate Mr.. Herrick would
take excellent rank. His experience in
politics would count greatly In his
favor. But he is right in deciding that
his best public service can be rendered
where he now Is, and pratseworthy IN
deciding to give the public the best
that is in him.

Regulating Ambition.

Mayor Hylan copies Gov. Sproul.
Tempted with suggestions about pro-
motion, he puts them aside. He is not
figuring at present either on the gov:
ernorship of New York, or on a seat
In the United States Senate. The peo-
pie. by a record majority. have chosen
him the second time for mayor, and he
will continue to serve them in that
Office.
This is the right decision. considered
either from the viewpoint Of public
usefulness, or from that OF personal
ambition.
Mayor Hylan has the hang" Of
municipal affairs. He has conducted
them to the point they have reached.
and the people in impressive numbers
have just sighted approval OF his
performances. He owes it to them,
therefore, to keep his hand on the
helm, and steer the boat for the full
time his new commission runs.
AS for advancement-a higher place
Mayor Hylan can afford to wait.
Reckoned as a politician, he is young.
If Albany or Washington is in the
back of his head, he could not do bet
ter for himself than by making his
second term in the city hall rs satfs-
factory to the people as the afst was.
Ambition fs = good and natural
thing, but needs regulation. Hurry for
preferment often defeats itself. One
office at a time; and the safest way to
reach higher up" is TO climb with
care. and attend thoroughly to the
business in hand. Sufficient unto the
time is the Office thereof.

Nail Early Every Day.

The city Z st office has resumed its
''mail-esrly" campaign. which was in
terrupted by the Christmas rush. Post
master Chance has invoked the aid Of
business men. school children and gov.
ernment departments IN = most
worthy project, which has for its oh.
ject the benefit OF. every person In
Washington as we'll rs the workers Of
the post ONCE.
Survey has revealed that whereas
last TALL the amount OF mail put in
boxes during the morning and early
afternoon reached q total Of about 20
per cent Of the mailing Of twenty-four
hours, since Christmas it has fallen
back to about 25 per cent. This shows
that conditions are about rs bad in
this respect as they ever were. IN
And this despite the fact that collcc-
tions have been, doubled in the down.
town business section. By the renewed
campaign the post Office hopes to
bring to the attention Of all users of
the mail the desirability OF correcting
this condition. The benefits to the
mailer and recipient Of mail far out.
number the benefits sto the postal
workers, as great as they are.
People are SO used to taking the
mail service for granted that 1t re-
auires real effort to think about it
along constructive lines, asking some
degree Of work on the part Of users.
In almost every office, especially in the
government, it is possible to get let
ters written and in the mails a little
earlier each day. Half an. hour may
not mean much. in an ONCE, but 1t
means a great deal gained In a post
Office, where efficient handling Is de-
pendent upon keeping everything
moving. II the equipment Of the post
Once should totally break down for
twenty-four hours there would be such
. jam Of letters. papers: parcels, ETC.,
as would literally clog The e5rooms.
It is necessary. therefore, That every
person in the city take an active in
terest in the mail early every day
campaign. and not regard it as some
thing merely to read about and leave
for the other fellow to do. Make 1t a
habit to write and mail letters in the
morning, or wait untfl next day. The
post ONCE is giving efficient service.
and is asking for cooperation. Every
earnest citizen will mail early"
