GGry's President

Speaking before an audience of steel magnates
on the effect of the discontinuance of the "Pitts
burgh Plus" policy of the United States Steel cor
poration, Judge Gary, declared that ''the future
success of the iron and steel industry in this coun-
try is assured if the managers will keep their
heads and further if the approaching election re-
suits shall be satisfactory"
According to Gary "good" president should
have the following qualifications: "He should be
modest plain and simple and still courageous, dig
nifed and WISE"
Calvin Coolidge is the ideal president of Judge
Gary. About the only of the qualifications
mentioned by Gary that Coolidge possesses is that
of simplicity. He is simple to fault. He dis
played his lack of courage during the oil expose
His silence charitably hides his ignorance
small bore nonentity like Coolidge could not be
dignifed if he tried As for modesty, if he pos
sessed that alleged bourgeois virtue he would be-
take himself to his fathers farm and stay there
The one virtue possessed by Coolidge which out
weighs all others is his loyalty to the capitalist
system.

The Poor Taxpayers

That Calvin Coolidge should be popular among
Americas millionaire class because Of his war on
high taxation is not surprising in the light of the
story told by the income tax figures for last year,
made public by the Internal Revenue Department
Andrew Mellon, whiskey Secretary for the
Treasury, paid tax of ST. 49, S7 S5 on his income
for last year. William Wrigley, Jr. of Chicago
the chewing gum magnate was a close second to
Mellon, with $1134,42O. Some of the most impor
tant returns from the New York millionaire col
ony are:
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., $7,435, 1894.
John D. Rockefeller, ST.. $124, 266.47.
George F. Baker, S66O,371.52.
George f. Baker, ST., 67S,66416.
Eugene Myer, Jr., $152, 466.60.
Frederick A. Clark, S1724055S.
John T. Underwood, $25S,617.65.
Henry FL. Rogers, 1878 ,297.22
T. W. Lamont, $S47, S2O44.
j. P. Morgan, $9S,64S.67.
E. Fl. Gary, $473,4642O.
Despite the law which declares that income tax
lists must be made public newspapers had hard
time gaining access to the returns The capital

about their swollen fortunes the better for the
former Correct. But somehow or other the work
ers get the information.

BABSON PARK, Mass, June 8.
Roger w. Babson, the statistician,
today issued a statement regarding
the position in the textile industry
which does much to clear up con
fusion attending this situation.
Business men in the east, at
least those pessimisticallv inclined"
says Mr.. Babson, "have been
spending n great deal of time be-
wailing the situation existing in the
cotton textile industry. The in
dustry is depressed-there is no
doubt of that-but it is hardly as
sad situation as these word-of-
mouth reports would lead you to
believe.
Examining the textile industry
as a whole we find that employ
ment for April 1924 in 1926 estab-
lishments totals 431, ,010 as against
4S4,771 for April of 1923. This
shows loss in employment of
111fo. If we make this same study
for the cotton industry alone and
examine actual spindle hours we
find that the United States as a
whole averages 77e6 as active as in
April of last year. The south has
suffered least in this curtailment
and shows spindle hours totaling
$3.50 of last year. New England
has dropped down to $3.50 of April
1928. Unemployment in the latter
section has become a real problem.
State Records Shown
Examining active spindle hours
for April 1924, as compared with
1923 we find that the record by
states shows activity as follows:
Alabama 500, Connecticut 77&o,
Mamie 1880. Massachusetts 64%,
New Hampshire $50, New Jersey
$3.50, New York 500, North Caro-
lima $40, Pennsylvania $50,
Rhode Island $50, South Carolian,
S7eo, Tennessee 109Gc, Virginia
1870, other states 1870. Prices of
cotton goods, meanwhile, remain
practically the same as last month";
Denims have dropped slightly. but
the rest of the list shows no ap-
preciablc change. Trading is very
light and the industry marks time.
eff we search for the causes of
this slowing up in the cotton goods
we find it due to decline in gen
cral activity at home and to an
unusual increase in imports of for
eign cotton goods. Study shows
that countries recovering from
war or from other similar disaster
reorganize their economic machln-

4 can of soup ION the pantry

you haven began to appreciate

There are any number of clear
soups; .consomme bouillion that
need only the addition of gelatin TO
make them into aspic jelly ready
TO be served as cold soup or to
make tongue, chicken or hard
boiled eggs or lobster into aspie for
a luncheon or supper dish.
A can of tomato soup thinned
with water to make quart, sea-
soned with a little tarrsgon vine
gar, celery and onion and set with
two tablespoonsfuls of gelatin maf~
a perfect tomato aspie. Cut celery
slices or rings of green pepper,
hard-boiled eggs, cucumber or fine
ly cut vegetables may be added and
the jelly nodded for individual
salads.
Just suppose you are ready to
preppre ! favorite dish and you
suddpdlyt Remember thsts you

stock is essential for the sauce you

Here is another ease where a

of soup will often answer the pur-
