Havens of Rest
Houses Conducted by Sisters Of the
Anglican Communion
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your news article of January
is concerning Miss Maudc Adams and
her gift for religion it was reported :
NO other faith provides such retreats.
and so when Miss Adams found she
needed complete rest and peace she was
introduced to our house. This refers
to the Convent of st. Regis, convent
OF the Society Of Our Lady Of the
Cenaclc.
There are, to my positive knowledge,
IN the suburbs of New York three such
houses conducted by the Sisters of the
Anglican Communion (i. e., Episcopal
Church)-the Convent of the Com
munity of st. Mary, at Peckskill, n. Y.
the Convent Of the Sisterhood of St.
John Baptist, at Ralston. Morris
County, N. j., and the House of Rest, at
Nay Shore, L. L., belonging to the Sis
tors Of the Holy Nativity. All three of
these religious orders have hcadouar-
ters IN this city, where arrangements
may be made, for persons desiring rest
and quiet, to be introduced and to make
p visit. | know these houses we'll. and
also have some knowledge of the
Cenaclc to which you refer The same
opportunity is offered.
The Community of St. Mary NAV al
ways be reached through the Suncrior
at st. Mary's Free Hos pital for Chill
cren, in West Thirty-fourth Street; the
Society of st. John Baptist has q
Convalescent House of st. Andrew q,
Stuyvesant Square, and the Sisters of
the Holy Nativity have house ad-
Joining the Church Of St. Mary the
virgin, in West Forty-sixth Street. be
tween Sixth and Seventh avenues
should like to add that n,o,r
women OF our own communion and
others have found in these houses inst
what has been needed, but, not having
attained Miss Adamss prominence. the
matter has attracted less attention.

The Star Twins
the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II we go out of doors some
cloudless evening, around o'clock, and
take look at the eastern section of
the darkened armament. until we have
reached about half way from horizon
20 zenith we shall see two stars, close
together, which appear like twin stars.
One of these stars is higher than the
o'ner. Its name is Castor, and the
lower star is named Pollux. Castor and
Pollux are quite by themselves, at one
end OF the otherwise inconspicuous
constellation Of Gemini, a constellation
situated between the sun Capella, above,
and the sun Procyon, below.

Retailers Profits


plan, whose adoption. because of its
uncertainty, would make business q
gamble, and thus add to living costs
for the benefit Of spectators. must
be in grave straits. Otherwise Mr..
Fordney, it's author, would hardly
have INDUCED in the gross misrepre-
sentation which marked the recent
speech wherein he charged import
crs with extreme profiteering. To
give verisimiitude he brandished eX-
hibits and pretended to reveal public
records Of kind hitherto properly
treated as confidential
The Fordney charges were partic-
ularly directed against one Of the
country's largest retail establish
ments, a firm whose name is a house
hold word to q large section The
concern being one whose stock is
held by persons connected with it's
business, it has not been its policy to
publish the volume Of it's sales or its
profits. But challenged, and. as it
asserts, illuminated, it has depart
ed from its rule. 1t says that its
books for 1920 show net sales ag-
gregating $1S6.0O0,0 ,0O0 that its
profits amounted to 2.39 cents on
each dollar Of its sales, and that the
net return for the year on the capi-
tai actually engaged was but 6.3 per
cent, or about the same as the in
come derivablc from an investment
in government bonds.
The statement is not only inter
esting because Of its bearing on
American valuation. but as throw
ing light on the profit margin of
large-scalc merchandising and on
the general question of retail
proftcering. Ii suggests. even if it
does not actually prove, that prev
alent public judgment is unjust
Of course, no one will deny profteer-
ing in particular cases-cheating
and taking undue advantage Of op-
portunities are practices as old as
trade--but the evil is exaggerated.
For if one Of the most prosperous of
American retail establishments
clings to but 2 80 cents of every dol
lar it handles the inference is fair
that other concerns do not do much
better. Moreover. it is obvious that
complete elimination of its profit
would not apprcciably lessen prices
Muck k-rakers and suspicion breed
ers fasten attention on dividends
Now, dividends relate to capital
stock, but capital stock does not
measure investment, which is some
times more than capital stock and
is serving the public we'll or i'll is
shown by the difference between
What it pays for its goods, plus cX-
penses, and what it gets for its
goods. But the noise makers habit
ually disregard this profit margin.
The packers. for example, carry to
their Golfers but two cents or less on
each dollar of sales, yet the air is
filled with noise of complaints based
on their dividend rates.
So If is also with rcsooct to retail
Adjustments. In many things
there has been false guidance-th the
public has been led into blind alleys
and unfair clamor has been raised
against men who also have suffered
from the fuctuating dollar. Yet to
their honesty and intelligence we
largely owe the fact that this coun-
try, much less than others, has been
compelled to endure price shocks.

The Tower
SPEAKING sEDENTARILY

sing the gee Of the open sea and the
road that the petrels take;
or the shouting gale, and the booming
sail, and the foam Of the boiling
wake;
OF feet that reel to the plunging keel
and the rigging's strident song;
or furrow white through the tropic
night, as she swings and she drives
along;
OF drunken crew and the fiery brew
Of squalid harbor town;
OF fights for life with the naked knife,
where the Southern Gross smiles
down.
I sing the road and the knapsack's load
that lifts from the heart its
weight;
O. the scent of dust and the wander
lust, and the will to laugh at fate;
or the breeze that sings and the pleas
ant things that wait for the quest
ing feet;
Of adventures high that lie whore the
sky and tho distant mountains
meet;
OF the placid moon and the 9laring
noon and the silent faithful friend
Who steps with you all your journey
through till the highway meets it's
end.
The winds are pure and the stars allure
beyond the horizons rim,
And the rowing soul may quaf the bowl
that the Fates hold out to him
IF he'll leave behind the chains that
bind and set his spirit .ree
To run the earth with n heart Of mirth
or steer for the open sea;
For the road and the wave await the
brave who follow their hearts de-
sire,
Who take the track and look not back
to the lure OF the open fire.
So | sing the praise of the open ways,
where the gales the clouds un
ravcl,
But I still aver that much prefer to
sit and sing than travel.

VOIley Ball

Next Saturday night the citizens
of Clayton will get their first chance
TO see a real game of volley ball The
business men of Las Vegas issued a
challenge to the leather smackers
of Clayton. The challenge was call
ed, and it was decided that a fight
to the finish should be staged Sat-
urday night, in the Methodist Gym,
as the clock strikes eight.
The business men who compose
the team have been working hard
to get in shape for the game. Ability
and agility are big factors in this
game, but teamwork is the thing
that counts the most. The men
have developed some team work that
will make Las Vegas extend them
selves 10 the limit If they win. The
Clayton men are making no asser-
iiOns as to the outcome Of the game,
but they do say Vegas will know
they have been IN a real VGiley ball
game II they win.
Tho citizens Of Clayton should
support this game Saturday night
by benig on hand and roofing for the
boys.

RIG BOYS SUMNER CAaIP TO
BIZ CONDUCTED BY RArONITES

Haion, n. ~, April 5--The bust
ness men of Ration, have the heart
and the enthusiasm of boys. Re-
membering that they once were
boys and enjoyed the great Out-of-
doors, they have decided to give
every boy in the whole country an
opportunity to spend the summer
in the open among the high noun
tains of The Rockies, among the trout
streams and in the gold producing
countryOf New Mexico. The camp
which is 10 be opened on June ist
will run for two months, and is To-
Gated at Ute Park, N. NJ. The cost
10 the individual boys is 50 low that
one one has any excuse for not go
ing. Just think, Two whole months
under ideal conditions and with ex-
pert leadership for just forty dol
lars. In case a boy cannot stay this
long he can go as long as he wishes
Ut the rate Of five dollars a week.
This is cheaper than many parents
can feed their boys at home.
And the f0od-Oh, boy! Nothing
like il to he found any place in the
whole u. s., and how good It tastes
and how one can eat after taking
a long hike into the woods or after
q day OF fishing along the beautiful
Cimarron river. The cook knows
how TO cook the food for the BOYS
and 70 give him the wishes which
win make him grow strong and
healthy. And te, think, all this for
The small sum OF five dollars q
week. It's too good 60 be true. boys
so take advantage of it now before
The dream Vanishes. And all the
games and athletics and other things
which make the time go too fast
for most Of the boys is all theirs for
this small sum.
There are some boys, too, who
have been unable TO keep up with
their school work and must drOI
behind their classmates, will have
the chance Of getting excellent tu-
tOring at the rate of $500 per sub
jeet per week for an hour lessor
each day. How much better anc
easier il is to learn under these fine
conditions without the noise anC
hustle Of the home and school.

Parents who care to send their
boys to the camp can get full in
formation by writing Julius Kuhn
ert, camp director, Ration, N. NJ. No
better gift could be given the boys
than the summer at thu camp or as
many weeks as they see fit. Expert
leaders and teachers are in charge
of the camp and parents are assured
tina, their boys will receive The best
of care and kept free from harm.
Too few boys have the opportunity
to spend the summer in the open
under such wholesome conditions.

The lecturer dealt at length with
Wilson, Roosevelt, House, GOethals,

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
ARE STEADILY IMPROVING
Local Banker Sees
Better Times
Ahead.

There is no question, declares Il.
II RiXey. President of the State Bank
of Commerce. but that in a business
way the country has turned the cor
ner aud is headed for a more normal
state OF prosperity. No business
boom is predicted: only slow and
steady Improvement.
Mr.. Rixey points out that with the
exception of tobacco, practically ev-
cry farm product has made a gain
in price since the first of the year.
Since December ist the price of
hogs in the Chicago market has in
creased around 80 per cent; sheep
and lambs have increased from 10
20 20 per cent; corn and wool are up
about 70 per cent; small grains and
farm animals generally have enjoy
ed a substantial increase in price.
Practically all of these price gains
reflect an apparently wholesome ac-
tion Of the law of supply and demand
and are not the result of traders
manipulatiOns or other activities
which are not fundamentally sound.
There is also a favirable revival
Df activity in practically all lines of
industry; the building industry in
particular Larger centers report a
steady decrease in the amount of
unemployment; increased weekly
earnings indicate that mills and
manufacturing plants are increasing
operations.
The coal strike and The foreign
credit situation are the two major
problems which are having an un-
favorable effect on business, The
steady Improvement in foreign ex-
change indicates that Europe Is re-
covering financially and authorities
predict that our export business will
show Improvement from now on.
While we are moi out Of the woods
yet, cautions Mr.. Rixey, we are on
the road that leads TO the open. Hard
work, frugal living and thoughtful
spending on the part of all will heir
speed us on our way.
