The movement to have museums in

headway. Architects for some time
have been urging that an effort be
made to preserve for posterity sam
plies of the best in American archi-

Exhibits of the sort planned would
enable the public to become acquaint-

building and construction. Students,
too, would benefit. so 1t is claimed,

house is preserved entire because of
sentimental reasons. but the fine old
houses of colonial times are getting
scarcer every year. Many of the finest
old homes in Washington have been
demolished within recent years to
make room for new buildings.
This destruction of the fine things
of a day gone by has begun to arouse

BY ROGER w. BABSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
af WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass. July
1i.-So many people will be bearish
while the second half of the area of
business readjustment is being COM
pleted that it is well to stop once in
while and consider some of the
optimistic features of the situation.
There is much good news constantly
coming out. The great Improvement
In the condition of the railroads; the
corrective attitude on the part of
labor and the late developments in
the foreign situation are all optimis-
tic factors.
One optimistic feature that we do
not hear much about, however, is the
present attitude of the United States
Supreme Court. 1t is difficult for
the statistician to measure court de-
cisions. and if he did it too often
contempt of court proceedings might
follow. Nevertheless, these court de-
cisions are a great factor in business,
and could probably be reduced to a
statistical analysis. l have special
reference to three recent decisions of
the United States Supreme Court.
Three Big Decisions.
The decision in connection with the
Southwestern Telephone Company
was exceedingly cheering to investors.
This decision clearly ruled that
neither legislatures nor commissions
can make rates that are confiscatory
in any way. The court indicated that
the cost of reproduction must be con-
sidered, as well as original cost, and
that investors must be treated fairly
so as to encourage them rather than
discourage them. This decision has
been welcomed by all interests, espe-
cially the public utility group.
1t should make more safe telephone
secr~.,fes, electric light and power Sc
curities and street railway securities.
This does not mean that the Supreme
Court upholdS dishonesty or stock
watering, but it does mean that it
will protect capital when politicians
for selfish motives attempt to jeopar-
die it. Furthermore. this decision
will encourage corporations to appeal
to the courts more and bother with
Congress and legislatures less during
che next few years than they have
heretofore.
Industrial Court Ruling.
The second decision which interests
business men was when the United
States Supreme Court held that the
Kansas industrial court can fix or
reg uldle wages only III a great emer-
'gency. Briefly. this decision was that
in the case of a railroad or coal
strike. where the public Is threatened
with starvation or disaster, an indus
trial court can come in and fix wages
but only in such Instances The spe-
cla1 case was one involving the
Charles Wolf Packing Company. The
United States Supreme Court held
that 1t was not necessary for this
packing company to do business.
There were other companies from
which goods could be purchased, and
as last resort people could tempo
rarily go without their products for
a while If necessary. AS most of the
states of the country were eagerly
awaiting this decision. the ambitions
of many political leaders will natural
ly be greatly curbed thereby. There
next few years to interfere with
business by legislation than there
would have been if the United States

Supreme Court had upheld the Kansas
industrial court.
Conflict Over Prices.
The third epoch making decision of
the United States Supreme Court was
to the effect that the Federal Trade
Commission cannot interfere in the
rights of private business or in the
matter of fixing prices. For some
time certain great national adver-
tisers have been in conflict with the
Federal Trade Commission concerning
prices on nationally advertised goods.
Some chain store retailers have been
selling certain nationally advertised
goods at or below cost in order to
get the people into the store and then
sell them something else. The ma
tional advertisers have claimed that
this is not only unfair to the manu-
facturers but also to the public and
held by all retailers.
The Federal Trade Commission has
taken the part of the chcain stores
and those who want to cut prices.
The Supreme Court has upheld the
national advertisers The case in
question was brought by the Mennen
Company, large dist ributors of toilet
articles. Some may think that this
decision is against public interest
but Seriously .douht it. Public in
tereSt demands Sooi business which
will keep the people employed and
goods moving.
Prices never long remain too high,
because high prices always either en-
courage competition or else cheek buy
ing. Statistics show that business has
beenharmed more by price cutting than
by price fixing. If prices are too high,
thev correct themselves Price cut
ting, however, kills the goose that
lays the golden egg.
Business continues fair. The Bah
son chart stands at l per cent above
normal. The intermediate area of
prosperity which threatened to de-
velop into a period of imitation has
been checked. We have now started
in again to complete the period of re-
adjustment. This is not bad news
but really good news looking at the
long point of view. Before a man
starts out expanding he should first
pay up his bills. The same rule ap-
plies to nation. This is the con-
clusion which the United States has
at last reached. For one L am very
glad of it.

The nations lumber movement for
the week ending July z. as reflected
by reports from 392 of the larger
shows a marked decline from revised
reports for the preceding week from
408 mills. Production fell off about
one-third. shipments about the same
and orders declined by a sixth, but
as compared with this time last year
the movement as a whole is substan-
TALLY larger. The declines in produc-
tion and shipments are chiefly due to
the summer let-up and closing of
mills for customary semi-annual re-
pairs.
Unfilled orders of the two leading
regional lumber groups. the Southern
Pine Association and the West Coast
Lumbermen's Association. are re-
ported as 5S0,481.021 feet as against

the figures being S26,o1S.9S1 feet for

and 316.2S4,0S9 for last week, while
the southern pine figures similarly
are 275.147,44S and 264, ,196,932.
For all the reporting mills, ship
ments were 80 per cent and orders 80

spending figures for southern pine
mills alone being 93 and II, and for
the west coast mills 124 and 1876.
