NEW YORK. January e4.-The past
week in the business world repre-

with week ago. On the Stock Ex-

necessary adjustment and started
forward again on a sounder basis.
The remarkable advance continued in

Sterling exchange got nearer parity
than at any stage since the early
months of the war.
The mercantile reviews referred to
an uncommonly large consumption of
goods taking place throughout the
country, and this statement was sup

At the low levels or the midweek

This was enough of decline to sat
isfy the criticism that the market had
been going ahead too fast, and that

wheat Production Lag&
The broad fact about the wheu sit
uatIon-and this applies quite asa we'll
to other grains-is that the proAtuc-
ing area OF the world il not keentng
mace with the increase in populatA On.
This disparity has become more aTd
more marked during the last Sl
wears. In former times an Americak
wheat yield of S72 900, 900 bushels, lik
that of 1924, would have been consid-
ered extraordinary. But with the Ca
madam harvest short, with only nor
NAL crops in the Argentine, Australia
and India, and with Russia having
nothing for export, it represents an
inconsiderable gain when set beside
the population growth. In the cases
of corn, rye and the other principal
grains the position is essentially the
same Now that the rRvages of war
are being repaired and Europe is get
ting back It's buying power, de-
hciency in foodstuffs is threatened.
American farmers after two years
of depression were glad to accept in
the Summer and Autumn what. by
comparison, looked to be very attrac-
tive prices. Accordingly they sold out
| the great bulk of their holdings Ions
ago and have not reaped the advan-
tage of the additional big rise during
| the last two months. The money has
been made mostly by wealthy specu'
Iators who have been working upon

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
OF THE MANAGE

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

a A SEfC
MENT."
A banker was asked the other day
what WAS the most important con-
sideration in a stock investment, pre-
ferred or common. His reply was
THE character of the management"
If the management is not competent
he said. you do not need to look at
the balance sheet or income state
ment
This is something which inexpe-
rienced inventors almost invaria bly,
overlook The brightest prospects
may be wrecked by incompetent man
agement, and, contrarywise, a dubious
proposition may be brought up TO
high earning power by skilled and
experienced executive direction Now
the rules which apply to balance
sheets and income statements, al
though technical, can be mastered by
any one with an elementary knowl-
edge of accounts, but it is not so easy
to appraise management. If the
enterprise is new one and it's Off
GERS are comparatively unknown there
is no way in which this point can be
established.
This is one of the things which
make investment in securities of the
new compa nies so hazardous. There
is no record on which to base a judg-
ment 1t is not enough to say that
other corporations engaged in the
same line have made large profits and
that investors who went into them
when they were first organized have
reaped rich rewards. Because Henry
Ford made a, success of the low
priced motor car, a success which is
one OF the wonders of business his
tory, it does not follow that other
newly organized automobile COM
panies are going to do the same.
Promoters offering for sale stocks
of doubtful worth use the argument
of success in the same line by others
continually and with effect. Never
theless 1T is a fallacy. The only sure
ground is to look back over the rec
ord. and the longer the record the
better. When the mana cement of a
corporation has shown the ability to
weather the storms which accompany
periods of great business depression
then only is 1T safe to consider the
merits of their securities.
The same line of reasoning applies
to investment bankers who have
bonds or stocks to sell. Have they a
long and honorable record for offer
ing sound securities? Has their judg
ment been tested by time? If the an
swers to these two questions are in
the affirmative, confidence may be re-
posed in their recommendations.

Through The Static

DIX hunters were in Paradise last night. The air was clear exceut for occasional bursts of static, which did not mar programs to any great ex- tent, and operators were able to reach out ill the great open spaces" for programs from unusual and lit tle-heard of stations. We heard programs from several stations, about the existence of which we have grave doubts. At least the an- I nouncements sounded like Utah. Oklahoma and Montana. Wen sell the rather doubtful honors.
 WLW is trying to steal WOS's stuff. They announced some pianist with the imposing title Of "Clef of The | Ivories," at least that's what the name sounded like. He was good, there's no doubt about it, but he did not have the touch or control of the l key board, that so distinguished Harry Snodgrass, "King of the Ivor- ies." We look for big things from "Clef." Harry Snodgrass registered constant improvement with every re- cital, so why not "Clef." Radio fans would gladly welcome someone to take Snodgrass' place. VaudevilIe's gain was radios loss and fans realize it.
 Joie Ray, world famous runner, whose records were broken by Nur- mi, the Finn, spoke from VICES, New York, last evening. He said he has not given up by any means and expressed desire to engage in 6 contest with Nurmi, the race being mile or less, He gave an interest ing talk. but we'll be able to check up on 1t.

S7ABS SICK SISTER
Providence Man Attacks Her in Hospital and Then Tries to Tako His Own Life.

Providence, R. |, Feb. 5.--The Rhode Island hospital was thrown into panic late yesterday when Pas co Cuszzo, S5 years, old, plunged a knife into the breast of his sister,
 Teresa, aged 30, while visiting at her bedside, and then attempted sui eide by stabbing himself and jump ing ten feet down into an elevator well. Shrieks from the 30 or more patients who witnessed the stabbing brought Mary Mcknight, pupil nurse. She attacked the man but was thrown aside. The elevator well proved trap and he was captured by orderlies and physicians and held for the police. The woman was brought in Monday to be examined for a mental disorder. She is now likely to die. The man is thought to have became slightly deranged through worry over his sisters con- dition. It was learned that he in- jured his head in an accident sev- eral months ago. He will recover.

WTIC MAKES ITS
 DEBUT NEXT WEEK
Travellers Co. Starts Broadcast, ing Programs Tuesday Evening

WTIC, the broadcasting station of the Travellers Insurance Co.,, Hart ford, will go on the air with its first official program next Tuesday eve- ming. After months of extensive pre- paration this station. one of the most elaborate and best equipped in the east, will take its place in the radio world.
 Two evenings each week for broadcasting will be the schedule of the station for the present, 1t has been learned from officials at the studio, although it is probable that special events will be broadcast from time to time. Friday evening has been chosen as the second period for broadcasting during the week, as WBZ at Springfield is silent on that night. It was said that when both stations are on the air at the same time there may be danger of inter- ference, since both operate on high power, Springfield having an output of about 1000 watts and WT1C send l
 ing out programs with 500 watts behind them. WTIC operates on 349 meters.
 The opening program will consist mostly of musical selections, inter- spersed with short talks about the station and its purposes. Emil Heimberger, well known orchestra conductor and leader of the Hotel Bond dance orchestra and trio, will be present at the studio with group of his musicians and will present an extensive program for the approval of listeners-in. There will be other features, including a group of selec- tions by the male quartet of the Mendelssohn Giee club of New York city. The appearance of the quartet has been secured through the efforts of Ralph L. Baldwin, who is con- sulting musical director of WTlC, as well as director of the glee club.
 The introductory remarks on Tues day night will be made by Vice Pre- sident Walter G. Cowles of the Travellers company.
 Heard In Wisconsin.
 On Christmas eve WTIC broadcast a test program consisting of Christ mas carols by a. church choir. The program was heard as far west as Wisconsin and Iowa, while fans ir l ta ct tnH1 that it was heard in the extremt northeastern portions of Nortf America.
 Another big feature has been an bounced at the station, the broad cast of the concert by famous art ists in conjunction with WEAF' New York, and other stations or this hook-up. This will be tho fourth concert of this kind and vii be broadcast on Thursday evening of next week.
 Connecticut fans will welcome this announcement and should bt able to receive the program clearly and without difficulty, as broadcas by WTIC. The station will takt part in other activities from WEAF on that evening and it is under stood that the Travellers station will provide other WEAF features for New England fans in the future Will Feature Dance Music. A great deal of attention will b. given 10 dance music, it is under stood, as it is the belief of the off cials that the public desires goot programs of this sort.
