Business, Babs0n Declares
Pay Both Little and Big Bills Promptly,
Economist Urges in Playing Ills
Caused by Credit.

made" by their accounts receivable?
which is simply the accountants name
for money being owed to them. For
instance, the fertilizer business, as
business, is perfectly sound. Not
only are fertilizers needed. but they
are needed more every year. 1t is a
fundamental industry. and yet most
of the fertilizer companies are hav-
ing very hard shedding at the present
time, and their securities are selling
very low.
The reason primarily is that farm
ers are buying fertilizers on credit
chain stores. on the other hand. are
very fiourishing today. and their
stocks are selling high. The main
reason for this Is that these chain
stores are doing cash business:
They have no accounts receivable"
and are able to discount their bills
and carry large cash balances.
Urges Prompt Payments.
In the case of almost every cor
poration the credit policy is an i'm
portant factor, and any investor buy
ing securities today should give it
careful considera tion. This is espe-
cially true today, when industrial
stocks are so much more popular than
railroads and public utility stocks.
Notwithstanding their troubles the
railroads and public utilities do a
cash business. This applies not only
10 companies, Out dtSO
to lighting and telephone companies.
All of this means that one of the
best things we can do to bring back
prosperity is to promptly pay our
bills. Moreover. this applies to wage
workers as well as employers; to re-
tailers as well as to manufacturers;
to people in small country towns as
well as to people in the large cities.
The little bills must be paid before
the big ones can be paid.
Before the manufacturer can pay
his bills the wholesaler must pay the
manufacturer; before the jobber can
pay the wholesaler; the retailer
must pay the jobber; and before the
retailer can pay the jobber you and /
must pay him.
Prompt settlements will do much
toward keeping the business from
going lower. The Babson chart now
shows it at 109o below normal.
(Mr. Babson the noted statstician and
economist will continue his special articles on
business and financial conditions in next Sat
urday's Star.)

.LAUDSD.C. VALUES
AFTER COAST TRIP
Wilson B. Nairn Explains Diff
ferences in Construction
of Homes.
of Homes.

That the values in new homes in
Washington compare most favorably
with those on the highly advertised
west coast is the opinion of Wilson
b. Nairn. who has just returned from
an extensive western trip. Mr.. Nafrn
is a member of the sales force of
Shannon & Luchs-
Mr.. Nairn says that in the first sub
division he inspected in southern
California at first glance the prices
quoted seemed 90 per cent under local
prices. but he added:
THE ground values are lower than
in comparable location in Washing
ton, but the chief difference in cost
is accounted for in construction. The
climate is such that no expensive
heating plant is required. This elm
mates one of the chief reasons for a
cellar, which alone effects large saw
ing. Sheathing is unnecessary, in
sulation against cold is not required,
ing trenches and so on through a
number of details great savings over
our cost of building are made.
More Cash For Grounds.
LAS result, however. more money
can be spent in effecting charming g
elevation and beautifying the grounds
and on small living conyeniences and
refinements that make for easier
housekeeping. Built-in fixtures are
very generally used, and every inch
in the house Is planned to serve a
sensible purpose. More and moro the
dining room and its attendant cost is
giving way to the charming Pullman
dining alcove with built-in features,
some of the disappearing type. OF
course, on state occasions. a gate-leg
table is set up in the large living
room.
"One of the most notable features
in the childrens room Is an attrac-
tive bed which swings back into a
closet with a window. leaving clear
and unobstructed playroom-really
two rooms in one"
Mr.. Nairn said that, in his opinion,
the day is here when the local builder
must discard the seemingly endless
reproduction of one original design
and allow for a perfectly natural and
sensible difference in human tastes.
and that Washington builders can
learn much in other parts of the
country about giving qualities of
character and individuality to their
operations and about properly utiliz-
ing evarv bit of housing space.

financing and the architect and real
estate commission fees.
The Industrious circulators of the
idea that labor costs In the erection
the whole that 1T makes very little
difference whether labor receives a
large percentage increase or not,
omitted to notice that precisely the
same line of reasoning with different
premises abstracted from DR.. Cries
statement would prove that 1T makes
relatively little difference whether
materials cost much more or less. If
the materials are only 20 per cent Of
the cost of q $4,000 house. or $1,f5O,
an increase of 10 per cent In the
price of materials Will represent an
increase of only $145 in the whole
house bill, which relatively is next to
nothing.
DIR. Cries statement made it very
plain that there are other factors In
building costs besides those of labor
and materials. which cannot right
fully be charged to either. In fact.
the other factors in the case OF the
particular house he had In nina
amounted to almost as much as the
sum of materials and labor. In view
of that situation he was merely ra-
tionaily pointing out that little reiief
from the high cost of building could
be expected. from reductions In any
one factor-the thought being that
relief. IL any must come from an all
round reduction of building costs.
The validity of this view Is Illus
trated by the recent experience In
many cities of a reduction in the cost
of materials being quickly absorbed
by an increase in the cost of labor.
DR.. Cries remarks that exaggera,
tions by contractors and material
men on the one side and labor on the
other of the costs chargeable on the
other side in building. are harmful to
both. When. as has been done. ma
terial men figure that SO per cent or
the cost of a building is labor and.
on the other hand, labor economists
calculate, as has been done, that the
material costs of a building are as
high as 80 per cent. both sides make
themselves so ridiculous that the
public loses confidence in both of
them

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass. Sep
tember 29.-Careful students of the
financial situation are surprised at
the action of the reserve ratio fig
ures' of the federal reserve banks
and the similar figure for the New
York banks. With the tremendous
amount of gold in the country and
mined. it seems strange that this
figure should decrease. Furthermore,
even although this is the crop-mov-
ing season. there seems no logical
reason why our banks should put out
additional currency. There Is an
abundance of money in the country
for all legitimate needs.
The only difficulty is that too much
of it is being used in illegitimate
ways. and too much is being boarded
needed. The country does not need
to issue more money, but the farmers
and legitimate business instead of
spectators In stocks, foodstuffs and
wearing apparels should have the use
of the billions already issued. Elimi-
nate special and unreasonable storage
and there will be money enough for
every legitimate need in every line of
industry.
Speculation Clogs Credit.
Yet this speculation in stocks and
commodities does not account for the
clogging which is taking place today
in our credit system. OF the various
reasons advanced / believe the funda-
mental difficulty is due to the act
that people are not paying their
bills. Ever since the decline in busi-
ness, which began few months ago,
there has been a tendency for manu-
facturers, jobbers, retailers and con-
sumers to slow up in their payment
of bills.
OF course, the whole thing is an
endless chain. Just as soon as one
link stops the entire chain must stop.
AS one link slows down, the entire
chain must slow down. Yet there is
absolutely no reason for such action.
1t is a psychological or moral condi-
ton rather than an economic condi-
is like the flow of blood in ones
veins. Anything which retards circu-
lation harms every one.
An analysis of the balance sheets
of our large industries shows that

COST OF HOME ANALYZED.
Labor and Materials Run over
Half of Building Expense.

The prospective home builder should
first decide on a reliable plan and
then should build house char
acterized by simplicity and truthful
ness of design. economy in construc-
ton, durability and such an arrange
ment of rooms as will appeal to the
housewife.
Into the building of this home
should go sound material and equip
ment that will withstand wear and
have substantial resale value.
Plans and specifications should be
SO carefully approved in advance that
no changes or additions will be
necessary, so that the house can be
completed for the estimated amount.
