Industrial clasSificati0ns showing
Increases in employment include iron
and steel industries and their prod
ucts, lumber and its manufactures,
foods and kindred products, stone.
clay and grass products, leather,
metals and metal products, tobacco
manufactures, railroad repair shops
and miscellaneous industries. The
only industries which show a de-
crease are textiles and their prod
ucys. paper and printing.
OF sixty-five leading cities, four
reported employment increases dur
ing February over January. Employ
ment increased in all industries with
the exception of textiles. which
shows a marked decrease, due to the
industrial controversy existing in the
New England district. The basic
industries. food, iron, steel and metal
products, railroad repair shops and
vehicles for land transportation,
made substantial gains.
Reports from 231 Of the principal
industrial centers. with but few ex-
ceptions, show a general improve
ment in conditions, and March is
expected to produce an area OF
great activity.
Income Tax Returns.
The Treasury's estimates indicate
that the income and profits taxes
TO be collected in March. 1922, will
amount to about $500, 000,0 900, though
this figure is subject to some uncer'
tainty because of the shrinkage in
business and profits during the cal
endar year 1922. AS against this tax
payment, the Treasury has outstand-
ing about $3.50, 100000 of Treasury
certificates of indebtedness which
mature March %. 1922, and are &C.
ceptable in payment of taxes as
above stated. Victory notes in cou-
pom form also have been made &C.
ceptable, in order to furnish an ad-
ditional convenience to taxpayers
and at the same time facilitate the
refunding of the Victory Liberty
loan. The az per cent Victory notes,
which have been called for redemp-
ton on June Is, 1922, are acceptable
as well as the Az per cent notes.

NEW YORK, March 6.--After an

The report of the General Motors
company, showing considerable
deficit for last years calls attention
to the difficulties which some OF our
Rig corporations had to contend
with In 1921. As the details OF this
report were fairly well known to the
street there was no selling induced
by its formal publication and the
price was practically unchangN
from Saturday.
United States Steel, American Lo-
comotive, Studebaker and Chandler,
the strong spots in last weeks mar
ket, were, on the bargain counter
around the noon period. and. for
the most part, the rails were also
inclined to be reactionary.

LOCAL BANKS MUST PAY TAX
ON LIBERTY BONDS TO D. C.

The Court of Appeals today sus-
tanned the District Supreme Court
in dismissing a suit of the Sc
curity Savings and Commercial
Bank against the District of Co
lumbia to test the legality of pay
ment of taxes on Liberty bonds
owned by the banks as included
I'm tax on gross earnings. The
bank claimed that Government
bonds were exempt, but the Dis
trict Supreme Court disagreed,
whereupon they noted an appeal.
The Appellate Court held that the
tax was franchise tax and not a
property tax and therefore a valid
exercise OF taxing power by the
District of Columbia.

Cotton Market.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Trade at
the opening of the cotton market

point higher to 2 points lower, but
generally a shade easier.

moderate sellers. New Orleans and
Liverpool bought. Eventually the
volume Of selling, increased by

FINANCE

By B. @. FORBES.

Business men will probably be IN
terested in knowing that both stocks
and bonds have reached the highest
average Level for the year.
II the Stock Exchange is main
tanning it's reputation for successful
ly gauging business developments
months In advance. the deduction TO
be drawn from its recent action u
that conditions are distinctly on the
mend and that the Improvement
ing coming months.
This IA by no means the only sig
nificant indication that recovery 10
gradually getting under way.
Sometimes an increase In the
country's bank reserves Ia gratify-
ing: sometimes a decrease Is encour-
aging. Last weeks decrease in the
Federal Reserve Bank reserve ratio
falls into the encouraging class, as
the detailed figures reveal that
there was a larger demand Tor ac-
commodation at the principal CEN
ters, where visiting buyers nave
been present in very large numbers.
In fact, the whole statement sug-
gests that business is picking up.
Railway traffic during February
increased materially.
The iron and steel industry. an
other important barometer, is gradu-
ally extending operations. The Inn
pfoyement since the low point OF
last year is becoming pronounced.
That prices have tended downward
rather than upward Is not regretta-
BILE from the broadcast viewpoint.
News from agricultural sections Is
decided more cheerful. The re-
coyery of 40 per cent in wheat and
corn prices is having Its logical
effect. In many parts, TOO, the sharp
advance in the market value of hogs,
supplemented by the somewhat bet
ter prices for sheep and cattle, mas
greatly improved the financial status
OF farmers. 1t can be safely con-
cluded agricultural population Will
reflect this betterment.
Such developments as a mild rise
in the price OF wool copper, coffee,
sugar and other commodities, par
ticularly commodities heretofore ad-
mittedly selling too low, all go to
confirm confidence that We are on
tic iouC.
A decrease in commercial failures
during February should be followed
by a further decrease this month.
The principal foreign exchanges
again reached higher levels last
week, although irregularity set in
when limitations came that the
British Premier was threatening TO
resign unless more generously sup
ported by the parties forming his
Coalition Government. Lloyd George,
however, is q statesman OF un-
matched astuteness, and 1t would
not be safe to act on the assump-
ton that his enemies will get the
better of him at this stage.
At the moment little attention is
being paid to the impending Genoa
conference, but in the highest cir
cles hope has not been abandoned
that something tangible, something
really constructive, will be achieved
when the leading statesmen OF Eu-
rope get together next month.
All indications are that the first
week of April will find conditions a
little better than they are in the
first week of March and that the
first week of May will witness some
further betterment in industry and
business. What the security mar
kets may do. however. Is another
question, in view of the extent OF
the advance already recorded.

The man replied:

GERMANY'S DEBT

Bankers, 10000 of them, at their
convention in New York heard
pleas for cancellation OF debts owed
TO us by Europe. Many were swept
off their feet by the oratory. They
join the forgive" brigade.
Those debts represent money
raised by selling Liberty Bonds.
When the bonds come due, they
must be redeemed-either by the
European borrowers or American
taxpayers.
Very easy, to give away other
peoples money. There was no talk
at the bankers convention, about
banks furnishing the funds to can
eel Europe's Indebtedness to us, or
OF forgiving the private debts owed
to some banks by Europe.

THE RIGHT IDEA

Joe Block, p, son of the presi-
dent of the Inland Steel Co., goes
to work in a puddlers' gang in pas
steel mill. He is learning the busi-
ness from the ground floor up.
Lads like Joe will be running the
country 20 years from now, when
their hair is greynig. The boys who
have it handed to them on plat
ter" are apt to wind up in the scan
dal news. The man who hasn't
learned to work with his hands goes
through the life without q balance
wheel.
Young Joe Block, beginning at
the bottom OF the ladder as a pud-
dler in his fathers stee mill, gets
s. cents an hour So do the others
in his work-gang.
You have heard that this is a
land OF equal opportunity. How
ever, you know that oe Block will
not remain long with the puddlers.
You also know that many OF the
puddlers he now tolls with will
never be able to get better jobs.
Some Of them will, for ability seeks
and finds its own level.
Success is % per cent ability, lC
per cent influence, Or maybe the
figures be reversed. Select your
associates cautiously. A friend witt

HOW TO FLY

The Germans seem to have start
ed something with their alr-slding
contests, in which one hier remained
in the air three hours in an air
plane without. q smotor.
A gliding craze now is sweeping
England progressive London pa
pers offering big prizes.
And its a safe bet that the Gid
ing craze will invade America and
furnish thrills ior the cautions who
prefer to stay on the ground and
let George do it" in the air.
A glider is a machine that travels
on "air waves" about the same as
sailboat travels on water. Ii has a
rudder for steering, also control
surfaces which the plot tits TO
make the craft rise or descend and
to balance the glider if it gets lop-
sided and starts to tilt.
First you have to master aerial
balance sans as you earn 10 bal
ance on bicycle. All depends on
the pilots skill. He has TO learn TO
use his artificial wings as young
bird learns TO fy.
You sit in the car, preferably on
hillside. Helpers grasp a long
rope, attached to the glider, and run
with it until the wind catches under
the wings and you take Off like
kite.
Then you fall.
A motorless glider, of the type
used by Herr Hentzen, German
gliding champion, moves forward
10 feet for each foot it descends
after taking off from a hillside, pro-
vided there are no up-gusts OF wind
to help move the craft upward and
forward.
The Germans started their gliding
by long and patient watching OF
hawks, gulls and swallows in fight
Air experts and mathematicianS
thus figured out the curves and
tricks used by soaring birds.
Chief obstacle to gliding by man
is that the pilot is apt at any sec
ond to strike new air current or
hole. German observers discov-
cred that birds "inStinctively scent
new air currents with their heads.
So the Germans are trying to de-
yelop a similar air sense. They
are helped by a secret chemical
skin-coating which makes their
faces sensitive 10 the least touch
OF wind.
As you probably suspect, the Ger.
man general staff began quietly to
investigate gliding as far back as
1915. This was learned recently BY
French spies. The peace treaty for
bids Germany making high-poweI
airplanes. So she turns 10 plane:
