THE HORROR OF ADJUSTMENTS.

Taxes and tax statistics ordinarily
constitute very dry reading but occa-
sionally they tell stories that are as in
-teresting as they are surprising. For
instance, government statisticians the
other day developed from their reports
these very interesting figures concern
ing the manner in which the people
spend their money.
One set of figures shows that against
$41S,OOO,000 spent for the army in 1921
the country consumed $3.50 100000 in
candy and chewing gum; $SS4,O0O,oOO
for soda and confections and $959,00O,-
600 for perfumery, jewelry, silk stock
ings and other articles of personal a.
dornment.
The smokers poured out S1,151, 000,-
900 for tobacco in all forms, baseball
fans, theatre goers, cabaret frequent
ers and those attending concerts paid

We are all very we'll acquainted with
the bodily and mental horrors of war.
We also have been pretty thoroughly
schooled in the wastefulness of the ex-
penditures for armies and navies and
in the menace to the nation that such
waste contains. But from the govern
ment figures above it would appear as If
there were other and more menacing
examples of waste. Shall we not soon
have a crusade against the horror of

While most commodities used by
man have advanced In cost during the
past decade, automobile tires are a
notable exception.
Figures just compiled bring out the
significant fact that tire prices have a
steady downward trend since the year
1910, with only comparatively small
increase during the war and after-war
days.
Tires Of standard make can now be
bought at lower prices than before the
war, and indeed lower than at any
time since 1910.
And this has been done without
sacrifice of quality, for every tire user
knows that he Is getting twice the
average mileage from his tires that
he was getting a few years ago.
This unusual result has been ac-
complished through the tremendously
increased demand and use, which per-
mitted quantity production, and in
larger part by means of the successive
improvements In manufacturing proc
esses, which brought quality up and
costs down.
Chart Tells Story.
The accompanying chart tells a
striking story of the progress since
1910 Of an industry whose products
approach the billion dollar mark in
total annual figures.
Studying the chart In detail, 1t will
be noted that starting with 1910, the
general range Of commodities In the
United States ran about uniform up
until 1915, while cotton and rubber,
the two chief materials used In the
production Of tires, had a general
downward trend.
Corresponding to this, the price of
the finished tires similarly moved
downward until In January, 1915,
they reached the lowest point they
had ever reached, point not again
to be touched until the price reduc-
tions that took place this winter.
At this time, 1915, tires were about
So per cent lower than in 1910.
Crude rubber prices turned upward
In the spring Of 1915 and the next
year saw long staple cotton start on
its spectacular career, mounting high-
er and higher, passing all former
levels ever dreamed OF and reaching
in the summer Of 1920 figure 2s7 per
cent higher than IN 1870
At about the same time labor costs
began to rise very sharply all over the
country, affecting every industry that
employed men. With raw materials
and labor costs both increasing, the

JOKE ON ARCHITECT
inside Story Of Statue on Home
of Vanderbilt.
Son Of Builder Says Figure Of Tired
Mason on Fifth Avenue Mansion
Was Joke on and Tribute to
HE Father.

New York.-New Yorkers whc
thronged Fifth avenue last fall to get
q glimpse of the Broadway dandy,
the deposed Bacchante, the brides
dollar mark and other curious sculp-
lures and carvings that adorn stately
. st. Thomas church, missed one Of
the avenues oldest architectural jests.
: For more than three decades, 1t be-
came known today, the figure Of tired
mason has rested and summed himself
on the roof Of the old w. X. Wander.
bilt mansion at Fifty-flrst street, with.
In a stones throw Of st. Thomas,
gazing down at the fashionable eQui-
pages and richly clad crowds that
flowed through the famous thorough
fare.
The few architecturally inclined per-
sons who knew Of the existence Of the
Vanderbilt mason believed that the
figure was erected as q tribute to a
mason who was killed during the con.
struction Of the house, but Richard
Hunt, architect, who with his late
father, Richard Hunt, Sr., built the
house, said the figure was at once
a joke on and tribute to the senior
Hunt.
"The Vanderbilt home" said Mr..
Hunt, "was built during the transition
period, when 1t was customary to adorn
the roof with sculptured figure OF
some sort. The masons and sculptors
were continually after my father to
tell them what kind Of figure he
planned to use, but he kept putting
them of, saying there was plenty Of
time to decide after the house was
finished.
FINALLY, when walking through the
nearly completed building my father

way, and directed the workmen to re.
move 1t. Behind the screen was q
sculptor-Kipson, quite well known at
that time-putting the finishing
touches on a study Of "a mason at
rest, with his square paper cap on his
head and a mallet In his hand. He
had used as his model my father, who
frequently put on mason's cap and
took an active part In the work.
'Mr. Vanderbilt liked the figure
and that's how 1t happened that the
mason was put up."s
The only other figure Of an artisan
gracing wealthy home In New York,
SO far as could be learned, is a heroic
statue of steel puddler, which stands
on the lawn before the Charles N.

Inventor Of Eskimo Pie Began with 1s
Cents and idea.

Christian X Nelson came to Chica-
go from Omaha 15 months ago with
10 cents and an idea.
Today the 1s cents has grown to a
steadily increasing fortune of six fig-
ures. It'll be well over million be-
fore Nelson pays his income tax.
What did it?
The idea.
Nelson's idea to cover square of
cold ice cream with a layer of hot
chocolate thus making a confection with
real ice cream inside.
He got that idea while he was man.
aging his fathers ice cream plant out
in Onawa, Ia. And he furthered 1t
while he was studying chemistry at
college.
When he was graduated he peddled
the idea around from ice cream factory
to ice cream factory. Everybody
laughed at him.
Cover cold ice cream with hot cho-
colate? Man, you're crazy" they'd say.
But Russell Stover. manager of an
ice cream plant at Omaha was different.
He thought Nelson's idea could be put
over. And together Slower and Nelson
did put>it over.
That's why you see the big yellow
sign advertising Eskimo Pie" in your
confectionery store window.
For Nelson's the inventor of Eskimo
Pie.
Nelson's not making it. His COM
pany, composed of himself, Slower and
others is selling licenses to firms in 9TH
er cities to manufacture the confection.
Today more than 100000 Eskimo
Pies are being eaten daily. And Nell
sons company gets cents royalty on
every dozen pies.
And Nelson's busy with an adding
machine trying to figure up his income.
Don't lose heart. Nelson advises
others. Il kept my hunch and plugged
that's why I succeeded.
Just don't give up. 1t seems to
me that too many folks are only too
anxious to tell the world they're lick

THE ANNUAL SCHOOL zEsE111oN.

Along in the spring and early sum-
mer, say many school teachers, the an
nual desire of many boys to go to work
begins to be a factor in school. They
have dragged along since September,
they have not been much interested in
their studies. and can't seem to make
progress.
They feel out of touch with the school
environment and they think if they
could only get to work and have some
money of their own coming in regular
ly, they would be all right, and their
life problems would be solved.
So they quit and take some simple
kind of work that any one can do. For
two or three years they are proud as
kings, with enough money in their pock-
cts to swell around and treat the girls
and blow in for shows. But later it
begins to dawn on them that they are
getting nowhere. No business man con-
siders them qualified for responsible
job They are not making progress any
more than they did in school.
Good students are happy in their en-
vironment. and they are glad to follow
the regular path of education that leads
tnem on 10 success. but lnoSe WIN arc
slow in their studies get disgruntled
with school conditions and fail to see
the value of study. Having failed in
one form of activity they have the
restless feeling that they could do bet
ter if they would try something else.
1t is one of the biggest problems be-
fore the schools to show them the mis-
take they would make If they quit.
The young people who leave school
too early prejudice their future careers.
They have not learned to think, they
have acquired no conception of business
or citizenship, they have not developed
habits of efficiency. The business
world will turn them down. They must
go to school until they have acquired
the fundamental principles Of success,
or life will be trying experience.
