The Indian druml Have you never heard this fascinating tradi-
ion? Why, nea the northern end of Lake Michigan, just out of the
historic straits of Mackinac, there is a dark, primeval wood of pine
and hemiock back from the shining beach. And from this wood in
time of storm o the water comes the beat of an Indian drum-one
beat for every life that oes out as ships go down.
Never, a tradition, has this Indian drum missed the exact
count. Nevertheless, ono was the drum beat short-as it seemed
to those who 60 down to the inland sea in ships. But in the end it's

heanino Of Picnic

Most people know what 1t is to Ell
JOY picnic; not all can tell how the
NAM. Of this form OF entertainment
originated. The explanation accord
ing to one derivation. is simple. When
picnic was being arranged it was
the custom for those who were to be
present to promise To supply food and
drink. A list OF the things necessary
was drawn up and passed round, each
person picking out ti. articles he or
she would supply. The name OF the
article was "nicked' OH the list-that
is to say. a mark was placed against
1t. The open-air entertainment thus
came to be known as "Pick and nick. "
The custom is said to date from 1902.

"The four Morses went into four dif-

Charles NJ. Schwab made an optimistic

president OF the Merchants Association
which is celebrating It's twenty-fifth an
niversary, asked him what he thinks Of
the immediate business outlook. 1t was
never better, he said.
1T is rather difficult to say what the
immediate future holds in store for US,
as it is subject to so many and various
elements" asserted Mr.. Schwab. "But
I say emphatically that 1 am confident
the general tendency of business in this
country must be always onward and up
ward. This country is endowed with
natural resources such as no other ma
ton in the world has; It requires only
the touch of American enterprise and
energy to these. resources to supply the
needs and comforts Of the people of this
country and good part of the world.
After forty-three years of business
can say that I see a greater future a;
this period OF my life than / ever saw

gone by. Occasional Interruptions OF
this onward march may come to us for
kreasons over which we in this country

GARY SAYS WAGES
CANNOT GO LOWER
Continued from First Page.

opinion OF Judge z. II. Gary. head OF
the United States Steel Corporation. who
testified to-day before the Federal Trade
Commission on steel price quotations.
Judge Gary said wages could not go any
lower because OF a continued high cost
Of living. He was referring directly TO
his own industry. but the statement was
general.
Judge Gary added that from so to 80
per cent. of the cost of steel produc-
tion was paid in wages and these wages
could be brought no lower.
Judge Gary said that steel and iron
products normally are sold all over the
United States on the basis OF prices
prevailing in Pittsburgh merely because
the industry needs some method OF
making quotations. His testimony was
given in an investigation by the Federal
Trade commission into the price fixing.
There is no purpose OF limiting COM
petition or maintaining prices within the
industry, Judge Gary insisted. declaring
that in periods of good business the
Pittsburgh base almost disappears.
This Pittsburgh base exists so far
as / know for the purpose of fixing a
quotation price," said Judge Gary. 1T
was adhered to or not, depending >on
whether business was good or bad. The
seller of steel, like the buyer of steel,
had to have some level to determine
transactions. The price of wheat, for
instance. at Chicago determines the price
of wheat everywhere, and in various
other commodities the same thing is
true.
"What we of the Steel Corporation
want is stability of business and in my
judgment the Pittsburgh basing price
custom makes for stability of business.
! know that it is hard for some con-
sumers to see it, men get occupied with
these matters as they affect an indiU-
dual situation--but nevertheless it Is
| true.
You know the Steel Corporation Is
not making money now. Business Is
pretty good, but we have got two and a
quarter billions invested and the return
rate on that amount is low.
I'VE have simply got to hold on and
wait until prosperity and adjustments
that I firmly believe the law of supply
and demand will make bring all these
things together. Meanwhile we want tc

Fletcher Dobyns of the legal depart
nent of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion, said to-day that to have proceeded
to prove the charges of fraud made IN
Government civil suit against Charles
w. Morse of New York. would not have
served any purpose. because all the
companies with which the four Morses
were associated are bankrupt.
Replying to an interview given by Mr..
Morse. in which the latter said the
charges of fraud had been Withdrawn
by the Government, Mr.. Dobyns de-
ciared that to continue the civil suit
merely would put into the hands OF the
Morse attorneys the evidence upon
which the Government expects TO con-
vict Morse and others in the criminal
cases pending in the District of Co
lumbia and the Southern District OF
New York.
..My attention has been called to a
statement by Charles W. Morse and
his associates to the effect that the
United States Government owes to the
companies with which he, is affiliated
large sums of money and also that all
charges of fraud against him have beer

there was a possibility that the Spec

Twice before in the trip the Speejacke
has been in danger. 1t struck reef
off the Solomon Islands and was caught
in a typhoon in the ~harbor at Apia-
Samoa. Mr.. Gowan and his party left
