Partial anaiysis of the profits
of the cement industry in the
East has Just been completed,
covering earnings and opera
fions for last year. 1t is based
on the U. S. Income Tar re-
fwns of ii of the principal
Eastern cement comPanies.
This has been made public in
the form Of letter to Hon.
George r. Silxer, GoOsrnor of
Neec Jersey, from svhish this
extract Is taken.
By H. PARKER WILLIS
Professor of Banking, Columbia N
University.
TN order to determine from an un-
prejudiced standpoint the operating
= results of the year 1922 as reflected
in the position of~the principal cement
mills in the Eastern district of the Uni
ted States, some leading producers OF
Portland cement in that district recently
offered to place their operating returns
at my disposal with the request that !
should analyze them and determine the
facts shown for that year.
The returns ! am presenting, have,
in every case been based upon the
income tax statements furnished by the
concerns to the United States Treasury.
They are, therefore, substantially uni
form in their basis of computation be-
sides being free of doubts as to ac-
curacy which might exist were they
merely the results Of local bookkeeping
not checked up or adjusted to any
general standard.
The industrial results of the year
1922 on the part of these mills have
been the production of the largest vol
ume of cement in their history.
For the eleven companies under con-
sideration, this output was 2S,774,1 9l
barrels, or over Is per cent of the en-
tire product of the country as whole.
Gross sales of the eleven companies
comprising both new and old product,
were worth $49. 592.S72.
The relationship between the output
thus indicated and the capital invested
will be inferred from the statement that
the aggregate net worth of the invested
property of the concerns as reported
was $S7, s,767.
On this actual investment, the eleven

OBJECTION
Wholesale Suspensions May
Result From Ban on Com
peting Abroad.

NEW YORK, May There is
trouble brewing in the Amateur
Athletic Union ranks because the
governing body will not permit
athletes to compete abroad. Not
a few of the stars resent this stand
and If correctly quoted will make
the trip across the big pond and
fulfill their engagements. The re-
suit will be a wholesale suspension.
Many athletes had their mind set
on going to Gothenburg, Sweden,
next July for the games in connec-
tio1 with the three hundredth an
niVersary celebration. Fred w.
Ruben, secretary-treasurer of the
Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States had sent tenta-
tive acceptance of Sweden's invita-
ton to send athletes.
The Amateur Athletic Union Off
Gals give as their reason for de-
clining the invitation the coming
Olympic games. They say 1t would
be more patriotic for the athletes
to compete on their own fields at
this time.

Bezdek's BallpIayers
Have No Time
For Golf

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Nay
Although golf usually forms
an indispensable part Of the big
league training routine at the
Southern training camps, there
is one former big league man
ager who does not believe in il
for his college tossera. Hugo
Bezdek, Penn State director Of
athletics, has given strict or
ders to the Nittany Lions that
they are to devote all their
spare time to baseball and TO
leave golf for the varsity golf
team.
It isn't that "Bez" has any
thing against golf, for he is q
devotee of the little white ball
himself. However, due TO
heavy class work, the amount
of time for baseball practice
at Penn State is somewhat linz
tied and the Blue and White
mentor wants his players 70
keep their minds on baseball
above all else in the athletic
field.
So strong does Bezdek feel
on the subject that Herb
Euwer, utility infelder last
season, who holds the college
golf title, has forsaken the dia-
mond in order to play regu-
larly on the State golf team.

JOE RAY TO TRY FOR
TABER'S MARK At HARVARD

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May L.
An opportunity is proposed for Joie
w. Ray, the Illinois A. C. running
star who holds most of the records
for middle-distance track events, to
try for a new worlds mark for the
mile at the Harvard stadium, where
the present record was established.
The track advisory committee of
Harvard College has voted to sug.
gest to the Harvard Athletic AS
ISOLATION arrangements for an open
handicap meet on June 8, in which
a handicap mile with Joie Ray
on scratch would be the princapl
event.
Ray has expressed the hope that
he may have a chance to run on
the Harvard track where Norman
>: Taber set the worlds mile record
OF 4 minutes 81 3-5 seconds in 1915.
