Much Z. s. Wheat
Sold i'm Europe
ny United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Approxi-
mately 200,000,000 bushels of
American wheat found its way into
European markets last year, accord
ing to Ralph Hoffman, wealthy
miller and wheat grower at Kan
sas who has just returned from Il
three months study of business
conditions in England and On the
continent.
To maintain European markets
for American surplus, however,
Hoffman says, the United States
must continue to participate on an
increasingly large scale.
Statesmen and business men alike
believe the Dawes reparations plan
was the best thing that could be
developed ut the time, Hoffman re-
ports. Before Germany can hit her
stride, someone has got to tell her
how much she has to pay France
and England must get out of the
occupied areas so that Germany can
90 ahead unhamperod. The Dawes
program also will have to be
amended from time TO time to meet
changing conditions.'

 The crew of the Maud were a de- jected and weary lot after three years amidst the Arctic ice. They had been on a great adventure that failed to reach it's main objective.
 But they had given the best that was in them in the interest of science and secured much valuable data, for which they deserved warm welcome and unstinted praise.

STARTING A BUSINESS

Business failures are due to many causes, including lack of experience, bad management, insufficient capi- tai, ineptitude for business and others.
 Perhaps the most common reason for failure, however, is the starting of business in field that can not reasonably be expected to support it, or in one that is already overcrowd- ed.
 In recent pamphlet issued by the Department of Commerce this fact is pointed out and a thorough survey of the prospective field is recommended before embarking up- on new enterprise. It says:
 Tn planning to enter new field, the retailer may find that by care full analysis, his prospective market does not reflect such favorable cir cumstances as a cursory examination appeared to reveal. He may be saved from embarking upon the en- treprise, thus preventing subsequent failure and much loss to society of wasted effort and capital"
 The time when anybody could start any kind of a business almost anywhere and make it a success is past, if in fact, such a time ever was. Modern business is highly con- petitive and requires better training than ever before. While optimism in moderation is a desirable trait, car- ried to the extreme it has perhaps wrecked more business ventures than any other one mistake.
 There is limit to the number of business concerns any community will support and when that limit has been passed someone is due to Ego broke"

MRS. CHAPLINS CASE

The operation of our immigration law presents a case of human in- terest in the plight of Mrs. Hannah Chaplin, mother of the famed film comedian, Charlie Chaplin, and his brother, Sydney.
 Left alone in England when her sons sought stage honors and wealth in America, Mrs. Chaplin's mind be- came affected and it was arranged for her to visit her boys in Califor- nia But because she is an alien with mental infrmities the law does not permit her to remain here.
 In spite of her sons wealth and willingness to provide for her, she must go back to England. There seems to be no provision in the law for making an exception in such a case.
 The authorities have granted per- mission fo a limited extension of her visit" but as matters now stand she must leave the country within a few months.
 It is probably difficult to permit exceptions to the law to be made without leading to abuses, but it does seem that there might be found a way to permit Mrs. Chaplin to re- main. Perhaps the immigration au- thorities may continue to grant her extensions" indefinitely.
