COTTON GRADING RULES
ADOPTED IN EUROPE

DIR. H. c. Taylor, chief of the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics. De-
partment of Agriculture, who return
ed from Europe yesterday. declared
that the universal cotton standa rds
problem had been settled harmonious
1y with the European associa tions. and
that the bureau would now turn it's
attention TO the study of universal
cotton staple standards.
Dr. Taylor declared that, although
the production of cotton in new fields
in foreign territory had not rea ed
large proportions, it would be well for
the American cotton trade TO hold
their world markets. American pro-
ducers, he said. would fare better from
reduced cost of production rather than
from high market prices. because high
prices encourage competition.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Sentiment Is Dangerous.


To let sentiment influence ones
choice of investment is a dangerous
practice. 1t is very hard to impress
this idea upon the mind of some peo-
pie. For instance, in recent years GER
tain of the stronger labor unions have
entered the field of finance and with
notable success. Nevertheless when a
member of the union comes to con.
slider the securities, stocks or bonds.
founded upon these enterprises he
must divorce himself from his very
natural feeling of sympathy with the
proposition, if he is to make a wise
selection.
There is no safe course to follow
except to weigh fundamental factors,
such as value of property on which a
bond is secured or earnings, present
or prospective, which may make a
stock profitable. 1t is fair, of course
TO take into account the nature of
the management. but that applies to
all investments and not simply to the
one in which you happen to be per
sonally interested. 1t is the same prin.
ciple that applies 10 stock sold to EN-.
ployeS by employers or to customers
by a public utility.
The business risk is Identical for
insider and outsider alike, the only
advantage the former has being his
opportunity to keep in touch with
operations. Any investor is entitled
to disregard these precautions if he
chooses. but that is not sound invest.
ment. He may be so interested in the
success of the enterprise that he is
willing to help il along at the expense
of taking more risk or paying a higher
price for his security than he could in
some other place where the personal
element did not enter in, but he should
do this with his eyes open.
Local pride often induces citizens
TO put their money into some home
undertaking and that is proper
enough, but if support along this line
involves sacrifice of investment quail.
ity the cost of the sacrifice should be
charged off as a contribution.

SEAB0ARD AIR LINE

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE. July Business
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway for
the first half of 1925 established a
new high record, the increase in traf-
nc having been largely due to the
completion in January of the new
Florida subsidiary.
Although June is ordinarily one of
the Seaboard's poor months, cars
loaded during that month this year
increased 1916 per cent over the same
month in 1924. and during the final
week were 20.3 per cent in excess OF
last year.
In view of the car loading report
for last month. the indications are
that June gross earnings this year
will exceed the 1851 ,191 reported for
June, 1924. During the first five
months gross totaled $25.552, 1913 and
was s1,863 ,6S6 ahead Of the previous
record high figure established last
year.

Increase the Efficiency of Your Sc
by Using Variable Resistances.

Resistance in a circuit is seldom
looked upon as a desirable element
yet it is fact that resistance, proper
ly used is as important as friction
in the right place. To be of any value,
however, the value of resistance used
must be adjustable to the proper
operating conditions.
We all know that a frictionless car
would roll downhilI at a tremendous
pace and that if it were not for some
friction device 1t would be impossible

Resistance Explained.
The same is true in radio circuits.
A resistance of high value will make
receiver absolutely worthless if it
is inserted in the filament lead of the
tubes, but a high resistance of the
order of SOC, 900 to 10000, 900 ohms is
required in shunt with the grid con-
densers of the detector tube IL best
results are to be obtained.
On local stations the lower values of
resistance gives best results, because
1t is necessary to allow the excessive
negative charges which accumulate on
the grid as a result of the great
strength of the signals. to leak off
quickly. On weak signals from dis.
tant stations it is not necessary to
have the negative charges leak off so

COMMODITY BUYING
IS UP TO NORMAL
Hand to- Mouth Policy Here
to Stay-Idea Biggest
Help to Retailers.
BY J. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July THE ques-
ton of who would carry the hod
has kept the manufacturers, whole
salers. jobbers and retailers in a
state of uncertainty throughout much
of the past fiscal year. In other
words. each has struggled vigorous
ly to make the others carry the stocks
Of goods, with an attendant heavy
tie-up of capital. This led TO what
has become known as "hand-to-
mouth buying"
Buying Up to Average.
That policy seems now firmly to
have esta ablished itself, but concerns
have seemed unable to take advan-
tage of it's benefits or avoid it's dan
gerous consequences. This has aided
to produce spotty conditions in COM
merce but reliable trade figures show
that the total volume of this hand
to-mouth buying" for the last
months has been fully up to the
average of previous years and well
above that for the corresponding
period OF 1924
Formerly the retail and wholesale
merchants bought their whole re-
quirements for each season from to
6 months in advance. They had TO
pay for them long before they were
sold and store them and insure them
until they were needed. The manu-
facturer was able TO get his money
for the goods early, run his factory
at capacity during rush periods and
curtail in dun periods. In other
words. the merchant carried the
hod."
Hard on Manufacturers.
Now the merchant has found that
because of superior transportation
facilities he can buy in small guam
titles, practically pay for his goods as
he sells them, cut down rents, stor-
age space and insurance costs, avoid
tying UP his capital, and still get the
goods he wants when he wants them
and as he needs them.
The manufacturer now has either
to manufacture enough stock to be
able to supply these small but FIRE
quent orders from his customers and
so tie up large amount of money in
raw materials and completed goods or
run his factory so that production
does not greatly exceed immediate de-
mands. This has cut out the rush
and slack periods. In other words
the manufacturer is now carrying
the hod."
Business More Even.
This purchasing policy has worked
TO sthe advantage of both maker and
distributor when they have grasped
it's possibilities. Ii has enabled each
TO discount TO a large extent changes
in styles or failure of demand for Ger
tain lines. They now need no longer
fear being stuck with unstable goods
Manufacturers have discovered that
the ironing out of the rush peaks and
Evening star., 1925-07-07

depressions has reduced their labor
turnover, enabled them to provide
steady work for their employees and
cut their costs.
1t also has gone far toward abolish
ing the atte"nrt of both manufactuI ers
and distributors TO sell their custom
ers what they think their customers
ought to have, rather than what the
buyers want. With only small stocks
of goods on hand, they have not been
tempted to force sales which in the
end could only antagonize patrons.
Many textile experts declare frankly
that 1t is failure to recognize the above
facts which is responsible for the un-
fortunate plight of the New England
cotton manufacturers.
Get Estimate on Orders.
On the other hand, some producers
have so synchronfZed their sales and
output that they have practically
eliminated seasonal uncertainties.
Proctor q Gamble soap manufa ctur-
ers, for example, have adopted a policy
of having the sales force declare in
advance the amount of goods it ca n
and will sell in a year. Production is
then restricted To that amount and as
result the company has been able
to guarantee each employe 4S weeks
tull-time work a year and has almost
eliminated employment difficulties.
Merchants who follow the hand to-
mouth-buying policy naturally fail 10
gain the discounts which they received
when they filled their requirements in
advance. But the majority of them
say that the saving resulting from
smaller capital requirements, insur,
ance costs and rents has more than
made this up.
Nevertheless, stores in. cities located
in the same trade territory have be
gun to band together for buying pur
poses-that is, they buy for all, and
while the same buying policy is fol
lowed out and each store orders small
amounts. the aggregate is such that
substantial discounts are obtained
