progressive companies are awakening TO
their responsibility towards the people
in this matter of adequate publicity.
Only few days ago, President Sloan
Of General Motors announced that the
directors had adopted the policy of
publishing quarterly statements OF
earnings. n
Now, not many businesses are more
seasonal than the automobile industry.
The pet excuse; you know, Offered for
not issuing quarterly reports has al
ways been that "0ur business is sea-
sonal; therefore, the report for one
quarter would not give an accurate pic
ture Of the probable results for the
full year"
The action taken by the General
Motors should stop such an excuse.
Private concerns that do not, get any
part of their capital from the public
are entitled, perhaps, to keep their af-
fairs strictly secret.
But any company that takes capital
from the public should be compelled to-
give to the public the fullest possible
information about its earnings.
IL ~ 80
Secrecy not only incites govern
mental investigation and increasing reg
ulations, this multiplying takes on the
public, but facilitates the fleeing Of
the public through manipulation Of
quotations for securities. The day has
not. yet arrived when all insiders are
above taxing advantage of outsiders
when it comes to investing or spe-i
culating in listed securities.
Judge Gary early discovered that
certain Of the other United States
Steel Corporation directors took adj
vantage of the figures laid before them,
at their monthly meeting. These direc-
tors. he caught on, made excuses to
leave the room before the meeting
ended, and little investigation re-
vealed that these gentlemen went to
telephones and placed orders to buy
or sell the steel shares, according to
whether the latest earnings were favor.
able or unfavOrable. -
The astute judge promptly quasfed
this little game by altering the hour
Of the meeting from noon to afternoon,
so that the public were in possession
of the figures before the stock, ex-
change opened next morning. s

thing to encourage the more. frequent

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

so she no more tries to sell herself
to her parents than father would
spend time and money and effort
going after a contract that was al
ready locked up in his safe.
This is pretty hard on father and
mother. 1t isn't what they looked
forward to getting when they in
vested their all in Sadie Preferred.
They actually expected to get divi-
dends in a gratitude and apprecia-
ton and companionship that would
make them rich.
Father spent thousands of dol
lars on Sadie's musical education,
and he had visions of how delightful
1t would be to sit and smoke in the
twilight, and have Sadie sing him
the old songs his mother used to
sing.
Gosh! That old stuff? No! All
that Sadie plays is jazz, and she
doesn't even bother 10 play that for
father. Why should she put herself
out to try to please a mere father
who does nothing but lavish every
luxury on her and work for her like
a slave?
Mother used to have dreams about
what wonderful companionship
there would be between Sadie and
herself when Sadie was grown up
and out of school. What long heart
to-heart talks they would have, How
she would live her girlhood over in
Sad1e's beaux and parties!
1t would please mother to death
for Sadie to confide in her. Sadie
knows it, but she makes no attempt
TO sell herself to mother because it
IS a bother to explain things, and
mothers ideas about what girls
should do, and shouldn't do, are of
the vintage of 1900 instead of 1924
And what is the use Of getting into

ing to do, anyway?
And mother does without a new
| dress to give daughter an extra par
ty frock, and wears darned stock
ings to give her the fresh ones, and
picks up after her, and burns her.
self to death cooking good things to
eat when she has company, whether
she is nice to her, or rotten to her
so what's the use?
1t really never occurs to daughter
to sell herself to her parents by
staying at home Of an evening anC

by jollying them, or paying them
any of the little attentions that

! as she would any other middle ageC

stand in. Because daughter knows
| that no matter how she neglects
them she will get everything they
| have handed to. her on a silver sal
Yer.
If father and mother were diff
| cult, if new frocks, treats, pleasures
depended on keeping them placated
daughters would do their best tc
keep in their parents good graces.
Just so long as parents are easy
marks children will play them fo1
the suckers they are. That is a
brutal truth. But it is the truth.

Sadie has the family "sewed up
in a sack" as father would say, and
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1924-07-19

Inc reason that a daughter doesn t
try to sell herself to her mother
is because she does not have to do
so. The trade was made, the bill of
sale was signed, sealed and delivered
on the day on which she was born
FROM the very minute in which the
doctor put a red WrinkIed squirm-
ing little bundle in mothers arms,
and said, It's a fine girl, madam, -
mother has SrOVeled before her. And
1t IS human nature, and especially
1t is young human nature, to tramp
roughshod over doormat and kick
it about.
Mother has given, given, given,
and never demanded anything for
herself. Mother has sacrificed, and
never even called attention to the
fact that she was the family nanny
goat. Mother has admired without
ever suggesting that she herself had
q few points. worthy of the glad
hand. Mother has always put daugh-
ter before her. and daughter natu-
rally leads the way.
Daughter isn't to blame. If YOU
set girl up to be queen, and if from
the time she can understand any
thing at all you foster her selfish
ness and egOtism and arrogance, and
teach her that her will is law in her
little world, and that she is the one
to be placated in every way. how
can you expect her to be anything
but despot, ruthless in her dsre-
gard for the feelings and rights of
others?
Yet that is the state of affairs in
the average American home. 1t is
ruled by u bObbed-hair flapper,
who dictates to a successful business
man who may govern a thousand
employees with {, rod of iron, but who
trembles before his own eighteen or
nineteen year-old daughter.
1t is Sadie who drags papa and
mamma, bored and cursing, over to
Europe. II is Sadie who evicts them
from their comfortable old home
among old friends, and lands then.

who sets up the butler of whom thew
