UTILITY COMPANIES
EXPENSES ARE HEAVY
Financial Statements Sent to
Utility Board Show Small
Gross Profits.

Financial statements received last
night from two public service cor
porations OF this city by the Board Of
Public Utilities Commission at its
meeting In the mayors office show
that during the month Of August the
surplus for all departments after
every expense was deducted was ST.
692 for the Wilmington and Philadel-
phia Traction Company and $1,2Sl.62
for the Wilmington Gas Company.
During August the operating reve-
nue. of the Traction Company from
all sources was SlS7,S56.79 and their
total operating expenses, including
taxes $131, 6s1.95. leaving their operat-
ing income as $56,174.S4 with interests,
rentals, etc., to the amount of S54,-
4S2.S4 to be deducted leaving the
s1,692.00 surplus for all departments
for the month. The operation OF the
railway alone showed n deficit of
s13,S70.53 but this deficit was set off
by surplus of s15,5s2.53 from the
operation Of other than railways.
The Gas Company's revenues were
SS0,734.52 with a total burner cost of
$50. 1918, leaving a surplus OF $780,
607.19. With interest on bonds,
notes and preferred stock to the
amount of S19,325.57 deducted the sur
plus was s1,2S1.62.
Complaint of service given by the
Gas Company was made to the COM
missioners by John NJ. Harvey. 1902
West street, who said that the COM
pany had sent inspectors to his home
to lock his meter because of an alleg-
ed non-payment Of an outstanding
bill which the company declares he
owed while being supplied with gas
at his former residence, 405 Della
ware avenue. The matter was takeT
up by the commissioners and letter
calling attention to the matter wa:
sent TO the company.

reasonably ascertained whether the
man was a victim OF another or was
his own slayer. "Now I am certain
that the man committed suicide"
Moore said today In his office, whence
he came with but little sleep. Every
thing is clear In the case; the detec-
tives have investigated even the
most minute things and we have there
fore reached a verdict of suicide.
There were no signs of a struggle near
the pavilion and no breaks In the
blood spots TO show whether some one
walked over them. II the man had
been attacked there would, OF course,
have been a struggle"
Physicians at the hospital say that
the mans health indicates that he has
been suffering from some disease,
probably tuberculosis. Detective
Moore ventured the theory that ne
was either i'll or a user OF narcotics.
The man was discovered on the
pavilion steps by. Special officer Paul
Davis. who notified Captain Benson.
Detectives Gamble and Cook, together
with State Detective Moore, went to
the scene. followed by Policemen
Bishop and Barr. With Davis, when
the man was found. were Harry Flem-
ing and Edwin A. Thompson.
The mans description is as follows:
Height, feet z inches; weight, about
120 pounds; fair complexion; chestnut
hair; light brown eyes and smooth
hands. He wore a black, pin striped
suit; white shirt. with attached soft
collar; black bow tie; black oxford.
and light. checkered cap.
Powder burns on the bottom OF the
mans cap were discovered upon ex
animation, of the cap at the morgu,
shortly before noon today by Detec
tive Moore. This part of the cap fit
ted directly above the wound whei
placed on the head. This discover,
adds strength TO the suicide theory.
The man may have friends or rela
| tives in this city. Moore said. afte
visiting the morgue. He added tina
he is positive that he has seen tn
man on numerous occasions in thi
city within the past few months.

Country Headed for Period of Initiation
copyrighted; All Rights Strictly Reserved
wellesley Hills, Mass, oct. dis
BY Roger w. Babson

wellesley Hills, Mass. Oct. dis
cussing the statement of certain BAN
kers that the country is headed for
another period OF imitation. Roger w.
Babson today issued the following
statement, from his statistical offices
at Wellesley Hills:
For readers who are not bankers
and economists, let me first explain
In simple language, what Is meant
by imitation. Men who are acquaint-
ed with the Babsonchart OF Business
conditions know 1t Is made up Of two
lines-frst a normal line, represent
ing the permanent growth OF the
country which looks like simple up
hill grade and the second line which
looks like the outline Ct hills and
valleys. This second line represents
temporary business conditions. For
few years It Is above the normal
line and then for a few years it is
below .he normal line. When the two
lines coincide, business Is normal; but
when the second line Is above the
normal line, bankers say we are hav-
Ing imitation. while when this line IL
below the normal line, bankers say
we are having deflation, Just now
they say that we are threatened with
another period of imitation.
1.-THE normal line of business Is de-
termined by the honesty, intelligence,
industry, and thrift of the people.
Comparing the health of business with
the health of n person, we would say
that the normal growth depends upon
how we behave and how we take care
of ourselves. The temporary business
line however. is affected by etimuli
the same as our body. A stimulant
may greatly eXhilarate ue, but VIC
know the effect Is only temporary and
the reaction afterwards Is very de-
presslng-we feel much worse In 9
few days. This is the scientific ex.
| PLANTATION of the common saying. =
feel like the morning after There
are several reasons why the bankers
nay be right in saying that a tenn.
porary period OF imitation Is at hand
The country during the past year ha,
been given three distinct stimulants
| which should artihcially help bust
ness and thereby cause imitation.
THE first of these stimulants wa.
tho immigration law passed a yea
ago and which was recently re-enact
ed. This is known as the $50 Law
which limits the emigration from an,
country in one year to go of the PEG
pie now here from that country. I
is practically tariff on manual labo
and on common labor. II continue.
It will cause a famine of common labo
in this country. 1t is the reason VIII.
the United States Steel Corporation
and other concerns are increasing
the wages Of common labor. II thi
law continues very much longer
will causcian imitation in the wages O
common labor and thereby tend I
bring about a general imitation.
The tariff bill, which was passe
last month, Is a second cause OF in
flation. Whether or not such a tart
is good for tho country Is a polisscs

|CLOSED CAR
DEMAND HIGH
Mounting Percentage OF Closed
Car Production Reported 4
by Makers.

Production schedules prepared by
the motor car manufacturers for the
coming year reflect accurately the
constantly increasing desire OF the
public for closed comfort
The strength OF the closed car de-
mand is illustrated by tho fact that
Dodge Brothers, Detroit manufactur-
ers, are planning to devote approx
mately 35 per cent Of their large pro-
duction for the latter half OF 1922 TO
construction of closed cars. The I'M
portance of this figure is emphasized
by comparison with last years closed
car percentage. which was approx
rnately IL per cent.
The production schedule shows
that the closed car OF today Is dis
tinctly not n luxury" car. It Is In
great demand because II will stand up
under hard driving and pounding on
| bad roads Just as sturdily as the open
car-and at the same time offer closed
car protection and comfort.
| The steel body construction which
| Dodge Brothers recently introduced
In their Business Coupe and Business
Sedan provides strength and resist
ance to strain which is possible only
where the construction throughout Is
OF steel. And prices of closed cars
can by no means be thought of az
prohibitive. as they might have beer
years ago. The prices of Dodge Broth.
ers all-steel closed cars. for example
now exceed the prices Of the open carl
by narrow margins of 800 to $500.
In the northern and eastern states
where from to months of the yea
are too cold for comfortable drivinl
in an open car. the popularity Of tn
closed car is growing by leaps ant
bounds. Even in the south. the buy
ing public appreciates the instant pro
lection against rain or inclemen
weather which this type affords.
The rapidly mounting percentag
OF closed car production shows hoy
we'll the motor car public is takinI
, to this typo OF car.

question and is not for mo TO dscuse,
but all students are agreed that It is
largely a temporary stimulant. The
tariff helps tho manufacturer the same
&c the immigration law helps the wage
worker. But neither tho tariff nor
tho immigration law increases pro-
duttion or makes two blades OF grass
grow whore Only one grow before.
The tariff will cause an increase In
tho price OF goods the came as the
immigration law will cause an in
crease in wages. Increasing prices
and increasing wages, however. do
not make the country any richer. The
country becomes richer only as 1t has
more houses, more bushels more tons,
and more yards of goods. Marking
up the price of goods accomplishes
nothing. With about a thousand dol
lars you can today buy a million Ger
man marks and become n millionaire,
but you are no richer that before.
Tho third event that will help bring
on the imitation, happened last week
when England gave In to Turkey
England has been the one great coun-
try outside of America which has
SlVVb ibi INV anu OltFfs III the Dry
ment of debts and eound currency.
The lack OF France and Italy to back
ND England on the Turkish matter
mas shaken the confidence OF the world
IN Europe and European securities.
Even some Engllshmen themselves
are saying. What's the use. II no
orc will back us M we had better let
nature take its course This means
that Europe instead of checking It's
bad leaders, has given in to them
! The Turkish victory Is victory for
| the inflationists of Europe. The baclo-
ing down OF England is defeat for the
sound money interests of the world
| This is bound to have an unfortunate
effect in this country and cause high.
or interest rates. The cheaper inter.
est rate period In which we have beer
entering may temporarily be checked
and even money may be scarce for g
short time. As the immigration re-
strlctions cause an imitation In wages
and the tariff an imitation in prices
so this Turkish episode may caus,
an imitation IN interests rates.
These three factors may caus,
temporary imitation. None of them
however. affect the long swings o
business which are determined b,
fundamental economics law. So ia
as the long swing goes, we are In
pericd of detiation which will contin
ue for some years to come. Over tn
long period of years the tendency o
: wages. prices, and interest rates Wi
continue downward. However, IL 1
likely that this tendency has tempo
rarily been checked and we sha,

Henry Ford. who believes in using
his own cars, was in the suburbs Of
Detroit one day and saw a driver of a
Ford car trying 10 start his machine.
Ford got out Of his car and rendered
his services and in a few minutes the
stalled car was ready 10 run again.
The owner pulled half dollar from
his pocket and offered il 10 Ford. say
ing, Stop at the first place and get
yourself some cigars"
The money was declined with the
statement, Il have more money now
than I can find any use for. and l was

The owner Of the rejuvenated car
looked at the Good Samaritan and Their
at Ford's car, and said with emphasis
You're a liar. If you had more money
than you knew what TO do with, you
wouldn't be running a Ford.
