Business Men Should
Take Vacations
BY Philip r. Park

I5y I'nlIlp II. fdEh
From SCRATCH" a monthly trade
Publication of The Park q Pollard
Company.
1t is a good idea to go hunting
once year at least in order TO Know
whether you are regular he man
or just tailOr's model,-to lind OUT
if you have the grit to do things or
are entirely dependent upon others 10
wait ON you,-to find out if you could
get down town if your car was mol
working. 1t is a great satisfaction
to know that you really are all rlgnl
and able to take the gaff. That IS
the satisfaction of going hunting
The grain business is q business
made up of details; little things go 10
make 4 success or failure of it. Lit
tie attentions spell service TO your
customers, and neglect of which loses
customers. So it is the man VINO
on his toes who wins.
Now no man can stay ION his toes
twelve months in the year without
going stale" He may stand 1t
year or a few years, but eventually
that daily grind of detail will get
him, and he begins to get grumpy
and sour, and while in that condition
he does not attract trade or command
tho respect of his employees, and ne
also upsets his own and other peo-
pies digestion while his grump lasts
Now If he had the vacation habit
and had his business organized 50
well that he could go off and leave II
a month once a year, he would nhu
that there are lot of details tnat
had better be left to others, and MS
head would have room for bigger
things. In other words, he would gel
a better perspective of his business
if he handled it at arms lengln
rather than with a constant "stranss
hold" He would give more autnoIV
to his trusted employees, and they
would grow under this treatment INTO
better and more helpful men and wo-
men.
He would find that he had a busl.
ness instead of a job. He would nnu
a different outlook on life, that a loI
of things considered essential are
superfluous, and that lot Of the real
things that count cannot be bougns
with dollars and cents, that tne
world wags along about the same
when he is not at his desk.
Now there is no convenient ume
for busy man to take a Vacauon.
The only thing he can do Is to SET
date with a good guide, and go wnen
the date comes around. Leave yos.
business behind you, and stuoy
nature until you return. 1t is no.
the fish you catch nor the game you
shoot; it is the getting away lronl
your business, your family and your
friends, and coming back to tnen.
finding them sweeter and more oeai
to you from your absence.

Railroad Group Depressed in

NEW YORK, July 26.-Dull and

on the Stock Exchange today
Prices swayed back and forth, in

and intermittent covering opera.
tions. Selling pressure, however,
predominated, rallies being quickly
followed by reactionary tendencies
in various parts of the list.
There was nothing in the news
OF the day to account for the pre-
vailing heaviness.
Without doubt it lay in the, lack
of confidence with which the public
has lately viewed the stock market
and it's refusal to purchase stocks
even at prices now prevailing. This
absence of buying power was again
used by the professional bears to
shove down values still further on
limited transactions.
The railroad group was greatly
depressed, many leading issues
losing from / to 2 points. including
Northern Pacific, Great Northern
pfd., st. Paul pfd.. and Baltimore
and Ohio. Selling occurred in the
face of the publication of a number
of May earnings reports. which
compare most favorably. with those
Of q similar period in 1922.
The motor group showed better
resistance to selling pressure. Stude-
baker was driven down to 10Oh in
the early dealings, but rallied easily
to slightly above yesterdays closing
price. Chandler Motor was also
better supported, moving up u point
to 495s.
A sharp drive was made against
Baldwin Locomotive, causing a q
point decline to 1871, a new low
for the year. Weakness in this
issue had an unsettling influence
on the steel group. Steel common

States Steel liz point to 71h.
Steel and Tube pfd. was strong, ad-
vancing about 4 points to 104%.
Pan American Petroleum bore the
brunt OF selling in the oil group,
declining points to 65B, but other
oil shares held relatively steady,
probably in connection with efforts
to curtail production in various
fields.
Call money renewed at 5k per
cent, Y per cent above yesterdays

Vived Shrine Week.

Action is to be pressed against
Washington jewelry firms alleged
to have started fraudulent auction
sales during Shrine week, it was

that a warrant will be sworn out
this afternoon against one of the
most active of the four who have
been under watch and preliminary
hearing will be asked in the case
as soon as possible, probably tomor-.
row morning.
At the Better Business Bureau,
which has handled the investigation
of the cases in cooperation with the
detective bureau, it was stated
early this afternoon that the matter
has now practically passed out of
their hands and has become a police
and court case.
The result Of the preliminary
hearing on the first case will
largely determine the action to he
taken in the other cases now under
investigation, it was stated. Dis.
trict business men are indignant
at the resumption of the auction
business which they succeeded in
wiping out several years ago only
after the stiffest Of campaigns.
Led by the Better BUSINESS Blu
reau. the trade bodies Of Wash

day suspended Their auction bust
