REFINERY PLANNED
Germans Going Ahead With

HOECHST- AM MAIN. Germany.
October 30.-Plans have been COM
pleted for the construction of the
first large refinery for the aniline
dye trust. which will use the Berglus
war process To turn poor qudh'H

line. kerosene and lubricating OILS

trust are understood to he confident

ciallv possible the next few years

American and British oil companies
which now supply IS per cent of all
the gasoline, 80 per cent of the lubrl-
eating oils and 100 per cent of the
kerosene used in Germany.
L. S. Agents Skeptic.
Agents of the United States De-
partment OF Commerce are not so
optimistic. They believe that coal
refining will greatly reduce the busi-
ness of German and Anglo
American oil interests in Germany,
hut will never drive out foreign
competition.
The huge refinery, says F. Zur
Nedden, Berlin engineer, Will be able
tn turn one ton of poor quality Ruhf
coal into 330 pounds of gasoline, 440
pounds of luhricating oil, 1872 pounds
Of grease and l76 pounds of kerosene.
The production cost Of these products
will approximate S26; while the value
at the refinery will average $45 at
present prices.
Production Costs Low.
The coal actually consumed in the
nrocess will cost less than $l.50 at
the mines. which are close at hand.
The production cost, which includes
labor, material, interest and depre-
cation, is so low, Zur Nedden be
lieves. the foreign concerns cannot
compete with the dye trust

ELECTRICAL GAINS

According to a government report made pub
lie recently industrial conditions are salts
factory than in either of the two preceding years,
this conclusion being based primarily the in
creased use of electricity.
It is recognized that the amount of electrical
energy produced and used is one of the best baro-
meters of general industrial and business activities.
For the first four months of 1926 there was
IL per cent more electricity generated than in the
same months of 1925, and about 1S per cent more
than the output for the corresponding period of
1924 .a-
In April of this year, which is the last month
for which complete figures available the total
production of electricity by public utility plants in
the United States was 5,784,532 900 kiowatt hours
OF this, 1915, 1863, 900 kilowatt hours were pro-
duced by waterpower and 3,469 163, 600 kilowatt
hours by plants using fuels.
The excellent showing which is being made by
The electrical industry is doubly encouraging as it
indicates the ability of American industry to alb
sorb an evergrowing amount of electrical energy,
well the increased capacity of electrical plants
to supply this indispensable element of industrial
progress

THE FIRST ENTHUSIASM

If you watch the way people work, from the
student his books to people the big and little
jobs of industry and business, it is remarkable how
they commonly lose something of their first
thusiasm for their task.
The way it works was suggested by recent
QUESTIONABLE obtained from the students of Yale
college. 1t found that the average freshman
studies his lessons 1913 hours week, and that the
time spent in study declined each year, until the
seniors only studied 1873 hours per week Prob.
ably the results would be about the same in the
great majority of the colleges.
The figures showed that as these students APP
preached graduation, their scholarship standing
constantly improved, it might be claimed that
the less work they did, the higher they stood That
could be attributed to increased maturity and bet
Ter knowledge of. how to study. But it would not
if it would rt any college student to spend
23 hours week is lessons. That is average
&c less than four hours day. Considering all
the vacations they get, it would not appear they
overworked if they did that. The results
would be seen in higher intelligence and better
preparation for work and citizenship.
But the new broom always sweeps clean. The
freshmen are no doubt fearful of being dropped,
and they work hard, and later their enthusiasm
tapers off little.
1t is just the with average people when
they take job. They work with great energy
for time, until they feel they have made good,
and then there is this tendency to taper off, and
do only enough to get by. Such people may be
tention in that way. When the boss is looking for
someone for a promotion, he does not pick those
that have lost their first enthusiasm.

CARING FOR THE GRASS

The editor of college newspaper recently
remarked that he felt it necessary to print ap-
peal several times during the year to the students
that they should keep on the walks built for their
use. and not cut across the grass. And particular
iy that they should not cut across the corners and
angles Of the grass, so as to wear these out and
poll the neat appearance Of the campus.
The same suggestion is needed in any COM
munity, 10 Interest the people in keeping up the
good appearance of their public spaces and home
places. There is plenty If room for people on the
waiks provided Tor their use and when they cut
across corners and down the edges of grass
plots, their town begins to look like the man with
the Irayed trousers and the ragged coat.

QUANTITY DISTRIBUTION

Quantity production has been one of the me-
thods by shich the cost of manufacturing has been
reduced. And similarly, if retail store double
its sales, it will make many of the economies
that are accomplished by quantity production.
The principal method of accomplishing guam
ty distribution is through advertising. 1t usually
takes long time to induce people to buy at store,
ul.less II has some extremely favorable location,
Unless that concern makes special effort to
attract the people and secure their interest. The
people like the enterprise and push of advertised
store, and they flock to such a place, and enable
Il to make the economies created by quantity dis
tribution.

CORPORATIONS AND THE PUBLIC

The philosophy upon which the Republican
Psrty to operate in this country is that it is
rot wise to regulate business much or interfere
much with its operations. 1t is assumed that bust
ness men and the great corporations if let alone, win
generally do about what is right and see to it that
the prices for their commodities are reasonable
and that the workers get fair pay.
Unfortunately, conditions do not always work
that way. Many business men are conscientious
but many not When trusts and combinations
are formed. there is tendency for the managers
to concentrate their thought on the production Of
handsome dividends. They feel responsible pri
marily 10 their stockholders.
Many of them feel, if they have largely in
creased their dividends, that they have met alt
obligations That policy is attractive to them. be
cause if they do largely increase the returns to
stockholders. they stand fine chance of getting
much larger salaries and accommodating wealth.
But the duties of corporation managers are
not only to their stockholders but also to the pub
lie and 10 their workers, While increasing divi-
bends, they could also many cases reduce prices
or increase wages or both.
