DETROIT. Sept. 17.-Installment
buying still seems to be a subject Of
considerable discussion and agitation.
This is because there is doubt as to
whether our present methods are
sound. If present instaIment sales
methods were sound, the public agi-
tation would soon stop.
There is also some confusion as to
the extent of the opposition to the
present installments sales, based on
the viewpoint that the opposition is

There Is Difference

Selling of homes or other real
estate on installment is not COM
parable to the selling of automobiles,
radios, refrigerators, furniture, cloth
ing, jewelry, etc., on the installment
basis. Real esta@ is not often sub
ject to depreciation; more often it
appreciates.
Not only the buyer, but the seller,
therefore, is secure. That's not so
witr articles that are deprecated by
Use, and particularly is that not
true Of articles the depreciate in a
short ,periood of time.
Many of the arguments advanced
In favor of installment selling are
very specious, superficial, and made
with the evident intention Of sup
porting this unsound economic
method.
They argue that because sales Of
homes, Liberty bonds, investments
in corporation stock, and so on, are
justified; that installment selling of
automobile, radios, refrigerators,
clothing, etc, is justified.

cause man is justified in taking a
drink he is justified in taking dozens
Of them.
We may go along for some little
time until the people get loaded up
beyond their ability to pay, or until
there is some slackening off in bust

Archbishop Curley has a certain
prestige as the successor of the

American cardinals have come from

to welcoming crowd of thousands of
boisterous fans.
Most Of the players, however. man

welcomers and were escorted to their
homes or hotels by motorcycle police

members of the club that were recog-

the Union station midway and to wait

ception committee.
Tommy Thevenow managed to elude
his admirers altogether.
Hornsby, however, did not fare so

crew evidently believing that enough
was enough. These were Alexander,

The players and Coach Williams,
brought to the park in automobiles,
had to fight their way to a speaking
stand near the home plate after the
fans had broken through a police cor
don and swarmed over the field.
Reaching the stand, the men were
introduced, one by one. with "Old
Pete" Alexander receiving first hon
ors. He was greeted with thunder
ing roar of approval and returned the
favor by STOPPING over and kissing two
girls standing near the stand. The
second roar exceeded the first. Then
Kenneth Sullivan, Cardinal batboy,
was introduced, and each of the party
attempted to speak few words to the
audience. What few words they did
utter were lost in the answering
cheers.

Louis Browns, who finished in sew
enth place this year. will have a new
manager next year.
President Phil Ball notified George
Sisler, first baseman and manager for
three years, that he will not be re-
tanned as manager next year. Sisler' S
contract as head of the club expired
this season.
Complete failure of the team this
year is all the explanation that it is
necessary to make, 1 think" Ball said
in declaring that he has not selected
a manager although he has five appli-
cations. Bill Killifer, coach of the
Cardinals, Is not being considered for
the place, Ball said.
Sisler came to the Browns in 1925
as pitcher. Complaint has been
made that Sisler was lenient in the
handling of his men and that this was
mainly responsible for the cracking of
his pitching staff.
Il will not be prepared to make a
statement until 1 find out definitely
what the Brown club will do" Sisler

the future. my contract has run out
