More Efficiency Shown.

manufactured today more efficiently
and more economically in small plants
than in large plants. Many small tex

textile corporations are having serious
difficulty. All of this should be very
encouraging to small independent
manufacturers. The day of the small
textile manufacturer in America Is
not past, but rather the smaller manu-
facturer is again coming into his own.
He has fewer labor difficulties, smaller
overhead costs, is able to pay more
personal attention to his plant and has
a direct interest which it is impossible
to have under absentee ownership.
Salaries Too High.
One thing more which this study
has shown me, and that is one OF the
real difficulties of our big textile cor
porations today. During the war these
large corporations rose on the tide OF
high prices and large profits due to
war orders. The governments of the
world competed with one another for
textiles, especially for wooden goods.
The cost of manufacturing was not a
factor, no ability was needed for sell
ing, and yet these corporations made
huge profits. AS a result they built
up large overhead expenses, paid big
salaries to their officials, sales man
ayers, district managers, agents, etc.
These men in turn built up large per-
sonal expenses and lived and operated
on a basis which they never expert
enced before.
The most serious feature of the sit
uation, however, is not that these men
are getting huge salaries and are
under heavy living expenses, but
rather that they are fooling them
selves with the idea that they are
great financiers, great manufacturers,
great sales managers, and great
agentSi

ever the style changes women will
cast aside their silk goods and come
back to woolens. On the other hand,
the silk people claim that they are on
the verge of even greater new develop
ments in artificial silk which will
greatly improve the quality and reduce
the price. These ''rayon" manufac-
turers claim that for the wooden people
to fight silk is like the old street car
companies lighting the busses, and that
woolen dress goods, excepting for old
ladies', are gone forever.

tive to a good many subjects, but l

the women of the United States will do

fact, however, that people live in
warmer houses, travel in closed cars
and own fur coats makes them less
interested in woolen dresses. For
every heating system installed, for
every sedan sold and every fur coat
marketed, a nail is driven. into the
coffin of the woolen goods trade.
Smaller Mills Favored.
In a recent study of the textile stu.
alton one factor has come to my at
tention which is very worthy of note;
namely, that the smaller mills are
doing relatively better than the large
manufacturing corporations. When
the big consultations like the Ameri-
can Woolen Co., the Consolidated Tex
tile Co, Pacific Mills and various
other similar consultations were put
through, the argument was that the
big unit would be able to operate more
efficiently and more economically than
the small unit. OF course, the truth is
that in most cases certain people want
ed to sell out and this consolidation"
argument was used as cloak to enable
them to pass on their holdings to the
public. Subsequent history has shown
very clearly that there was nothing in
this mass production economy" for
textile industries.

STANDARD LIFE AND SOUTH
ERN INSURANCE COMPANIES
MERGE

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 23-In a report
from Prof Walter s. Buchanan, of
Pittsburgh, Pa, it is said that Heman
E. Perry, the Daddy Of Negro High
Financing" has surprised his many
supporters by pulling off the real stunt
of lining W the Southern Insurance
Company Of Nashville, Tenn, as an
all OF Standard Life In fact it ap-
pears that the two companies have
merged their business in such a man
ner that the Standard Life is still left
intact with its same board of directors
and official staff agency force and
Offices throughout the country. If it
i true, it i remarkable from two
standpoints-frst: because the South
ern InsuranceCompany is white con
Germ; and second: because the new
concern would be among the ten larg-
est companies in the South regardless
Of race, according to statements com
ing from the office of the Southern.
On account Of the merger PROPOSE
ton being up for consideration the
Standard stockholders did not get
their usual detailed annual reports
from the officers, but President Perry
is authority for the statement that
Standard Life closed the past year with
200 active agents covering Is states
and sending in an average Of $1,000
600 worth Of business monthly, he
states, that the company has $4,000
600 worth Of business in force on the
lives Of 10000 Negroes scattered
throughout the country.
President VIII G. Harris, Of the
Southern Life, could not be seen at
his Nashville Office Saturday morning,
but his secretary confirmed the report
Of the merger and stated that the two
companies have combined assets 81
S5'OOoOOO and outstanding business OF
H5s0OOO0O. He also stated that the
combination was in the line of gen
eral business development and that
Standard Life would continue under
rs same officers and same board u
directors.

FLOWERS LOSES TO DELANEY
IN MADISON SQUARE
GARDEN
preston News Service

New York, Jan. 23.-Carelessness,
superinduced BY what critics believe
to be too regular fighting, caused the
downfall Of Tiger Flowers in Madison
Square Garden Friday night in one OF
the most spectacular and sensational
endings to one of the most sententious
"built-upn fights in the history Of
fstiana.
Flowers lost to Delaney via the K.
0. route in exactly 43 seconds after
the opening Of the second round.
Flowers, up to that time, veritable
fury Of unleashed ferocity and venge-
ance, fighting for the chance to set
into big money circles and meet Greb,
whom he knows he can lick, dropped
his guard temporarily for moment
during the second round. He had been
piling uD points galore, and the huge
stadium crowded to its full capacity
OF $4,000 spectators, had been fairly
rocking with the cheers which accom-
panied his wonderful exhibition. But
then came the end Delaney, who
shattered the hopes Of Paul Berlen-
bach with one well-timed punch, evil
IDENTIFY knew that he had no chance to
cope with Flowers speed and aggres-
siveness. He knew that sooner or
later, the Tiger, becoming overconf
dent, would lower his guard Rushed
to the ropes as the second round end
ed, this is just what happened. Then
like bolt from the clear, sounded
Tigers death knell.
A sudden shifting Of position, a
right swung with that peculiar motion
which relays his best effort, Delaney
stepped in Flowers sensed the com
ing OF the punch, but too late for even
his amazing speed to carry him out Of
danger.
Flush on the button, that terrific
right landed. Down to the floor went
Flowers The huge stadium was
silent, stunned with the sudden re-
versal Of form the fight had taken.
Courageous even in his pitiful position,
with nothing between him and obliv-
ion but his gameness, Flowers tried
hard to arise. But it was Of no use.
Delaney's hope-destroying right had
landed solidly, and when it landed, had
paralyzed Flowers. Flowers was still
trying to rise, when the fatal count Of
ten ended the fight and sent him back
to the ranks Of the minors, there to
again start on his long, hard and de-
vious journey towards fame and for
tune.
Up to the time Of the first BEN,
Flowers, victor over Johnny Wilson,
Dan O'Dowd, Joe Lehman and Billy
Britton, was prohibitive favorite.
Few figured that Delaney had the
punching power to stop his opponent.
And up until the time that the fight
ended so tragically for the Atlanta
Deacon bets at 2 10 / and 8 to /
were going begging.
In the semi-fnal, Larry Estridge
somehow took of a wee bit Of the
sting Of Harlem's misery and disap-
pointment, when he stopped Charley
Nashert Of Newark. Nashert went
down from left and settled on one
knee, where he was counted out.

feated Roscoe Hall Of Jersey City in
the third stanza.

Whether this report is true or not, or
whether Wills has again decided to
wait and bide his time for the longed
for Dempsey fight, is not known.
Those in the know, say Wills refuses
to take any more chances.
