DEFINITION OF BRICK
GIVEN FOR INDUSTRY
Burned Clay Holds Title, But
Other Materials May Have Name
if Prefix Is Used.

During some 5000 years a brick
has been recognized in the public mind
as a unit of burned clay. Within the
last wear certain interests concerned
about the manufacture of substitutes
for brick have sought to have the
dictionary publishers change the def
milton to include as brick any unit
made in its form and measurements.
regardless of the ingredients used
Such a definition. if adopted, would
relieve the makers of bricks who use
cement, sand, cinders and other aggre-
gates from designating their products
as sand-lime, cement-cinder and the
several other kinds Of synthetic brick,
as the case might be.
Recently formal notice Of this ef-
fort was taken by the American So
ciety for Testing Materials through its
committee C-3. which is the official
committee giving consideration to all
questions that come up affecting
brick, brick tests, brickwork specifica-
lions and requirements. Committee
CO adopted a definition for brick as
follows:
Brick-A structural unit, rectangu-
lar in shape, and made of burned
clays, unless designated by a prefix
indicating other material
As through centuries of use brick
has been an object of clay. the term
brick" if used without q qualifying
adjective, is understood in the present
state of art to mean a unit of burned
clay. Bricks are usually solid, about
SX3 X2A inches.

quarters and befuddle clear thinking
about investment matters.
Monthly reports are even better
than quarterly reports.
One of the great merits OF railroad
and public utility securities, as against
industrial stocks and bonds. is that
the railroad and utility corporations
issue regularly monthly reports or
earnings and expenses in accordance
with the requirements laid down by
public regulatory bodies. There Is,
therefore, less surrnise and mystery
about utility and railroad stocks.
The frequency and promptness OF
reports play a large part In the sue
cess Of a corporation.
Managers should get revealing re-
ports of operations as frequently as
necessary.
Executives are demanding and are
receiving better current information
thap in the past.
Get Sales Reports.
General Motors officials, for ex-
ample, receive reports of sales every
10 days from dealers throughout the
country, and attune their producuon
schedules accordingly.
The new practice of hand-to-mouth
buying emphasizes the value or cur
rent information to those in a position
to control business policies.
When all the returns are in for
1926. they will show that corporate
earnings in the aggregate were at a
new summit.
This gross figure will give mis-
leading picture of conditions during
the year.
Profits were by no means univer-
sally distributed. They went mainly
to the dominant, exceptionally well
managed concerns. The race was to
the strong in an unusual sense, for
it was a year of extraordinary COM
petition and declining commodity
prices.
In boom years like 1919-20, on the
other hand, the imitation of commodity
prices temporarily assured profits to
all contenders in the race for business
success.

(Copyright. 1926.l

Adolph Zukor, president of the Fa-
nous Players-Lasky Corporation,
leader Of the giant industry of whole
sailing and retailing entertainment for
the silver screen, told me that the cor
poration would show somewhat better
earnings in the year which ends this

ends on January /. In the previous

States Treasury and end their fiscal
year on June 30. A still smaller
minority end their fiscal years on Sep
tember 80 and at the end of other
quarterly periods. The precise time
Is usually provided for in the charter
and articles of incorporation.
In view of widespread criticism of
corporate practices in regard to pub
Nshing earnings by William u. Ripley,
economic sage of Harvard University,
and others, well managed corporations
are likely in 1927 to exert themselves
to get their balance sheets and income
accounts in the hands of stockholders
as near after the close of the year as
possible.
Some Firms Laggards.
Some laggard corporations have
been woeful offenders, publishing such
material anywhere from 3 to "a
months late. Unless such financial re-
ports of the success or failure of the
business are promptly made available
they become of academic significance
only, and place the general stock
holder at great disadvantage.
Where a corporation fails to publish
such reports as speedily as is feasible
Il consciously or unconSciously plays
into the hands of the insiders and
gives them a great advantage over
the small holder of securities.
The wise investor keeps in touch
with his holdings, and sometimes
modifles his commitments in accord
ance with changing conditions. If re-
ports of earnings are delayed until
they become ancient history, the
small shareholders cannot act quickly
enough to take advantage of knowi-
edge Of changing conditions.
If a corporation has wide number
of security holders and desires to play
fair with them, it will issue reports
speedily-and will also reveal their
condition frequently. Usually once a
year is not enough. The New York
Stock Exchange requires the 1,134
corporations whose shares are listed
to issue at least one report year
and Z. H. III. Simmons, the president
following the leadership of the late
Seymour Cromwell, his predecessor in
Office, has carried on a campaign to in
duce corporations to issue quarterly
reports.
