Wall Street Briefs

The bulk of new financing this week, which was confined to public utilities issues, was wound up today with an unusually large Saturday Of fering of s30,000.000 Edison Electric Illuminating company of Boston, three year four and half per cent coupon gold notes due January 15, 1928, which was quickly sold, The notes were offered at 99.S1 and ac- crued interest, yielding about AIS per cent.
 Sales of Loft, Inc, in 1924, in creased to $7,71@.21S compared with $7,4O5,212 the year before.
 The course of the stock market since the wild bull demonstration in certain issues last week, is said to have met the approval of important trading interests. Although there has been extensive profit taking and sharp selling, new buying reported from every part of the country ap- parently has checked any alarming break. Many traders consequently were said to have found themselves out of stocks or short of them with an increase in the short interests since last Monday. These develop nents, 1t is believed in conserva- tive quarters. have strengthened the technical position of the market.
 Wall streets keen interest in ra- dlo stocks. of which more than 20 listed and unlisted issues have been added 10 local security ~kets in the last year. has emphaAEed the fast growth of tho industry which has developed in three years from about F manufacturers in the United States to more than 5000, In addition, about ss5 firms do large export business of radios and accessories. Sales of radio sets in 1920 were less than s2,O00.009. Last year sales reached s4O0,000,- GOO. More than s0O,oO0 persons are now employed in the industry. while retail distributors of sets and accessories exceed 2S,00O.

THE LEGISLATIVE FLOOD

Reviewing the work OF legis-
latures in different states there is a
ray of light. In few the high
water mark of new laws has been
reached and flood is receding.
The Illinois legislature that adj
'journed the other day enacted only
800 new laws and 3S of these were
appropriation and enabling acts.
In spite of having hundreds of
statutes that are absolutely dead
letters on the law books, Illinois
added ESQ more rules of conduct.
But the tide has turned and the
Illinois legislature enacted Sc less
bills than were ground out in the
legislature grist two years before.
Several other states have made a
similar record and it must be a
satisfactory feeling to know that as
time goes on, not only fewer new
laws may be enacted, but more and
more old ones may be repealed.

CORRECT TIME

III every great INDUSTRY Iu6
element of time plays most i'm
portant part, but it would be diff
cult to find any institution where it
requires such close attention as in
the Ford organization which not
only keeps one matchmaker con-
tinually at work, but in addition
keeps corps of clock men busy
seeing that some hundreds Of clocks
tick the time to the second.
This element of time radiates into
every division of the Ford in
dustry, regulating the hour when
lumber reaches the mills, when
coal is loaded, when the ore reaches
the blast furnaces, when molten
metal is poured, when motor cars
are completed, when Ford trains
move, Ford ships sadl, Ford air.
planes wing their way into space
an when Ford employees come to
work and quit
| To-day Ford ship, sailing for
home after carrying the name of
Ford across the Atlantic to Euro
pean ports for the first time, is pro-
ceeding on it's way with)cfocks that
were checked and regulated in the
Ford Engineering Laboratories at
Dearborn, Mich, where precision in
everything is the watchword. An
other Ford ship, plying the Atlantic
coast, likewise carries clocks reg
ulated in these laboratories, the
same as the giant Ford steel
freightors which ply the Great
Lakes carrying goal and iron ore.
1t is the business of watch
maker, whose workshop is in a
| bright little room at the Dearborn
laboratories, to see that the ships
closcks are in perfect time. He
also keeps check on the waches used
by trainmen on the Detroit, Toledo
& Ironton railroadl the Ford railway,
and this alone is an importan job.
Incidentally, the D. T. & l. is the
only railroad in America which sup
pies watches to its%trainmen. Some
800 watches are constantly in use,
with SO cleaners" in the watch
makers room ready to go out when
ever the occasion requires. No en-
ployee of the railroad is permitted
to either set or attempt to regulate
the watch he carries. Any time
piece that is off standard time even
minute must be turned in for a
'sloaner" until it is repaired and
regulated.
Four chronometers and two mas
ter clocks, checked daily by radio
are standards used for regulating
all railroad watches and ships
clocks.
In the great Highland Park and
River Rouge plants of the Ford
Motor Company more than 100000
employees register in and out every
day. Their time is checked on cards
by more than 400 clocks and a
special staff of men is maintained to
see that every clock registers the
correct time day in and day out,
serving impartially the workers and
the company alike in the great
scheme of manufacture, for it is
essential, in order to, maintain
proper production costs and EN-
cheney throughout the organization,
that everything proceeds. In exact
order and upon the minute so that
neonle throughout the world who
are using and desire Ford products
may be served.
