Values of. songs to broadcasting and
the value of broadcasting to songs are
problems that each of the opposing
interests is required to reduce as best
1t can to dollars and cents before con-
clusion of the hearings.
Efforts also are being made to de-
termine approximately the cost of
music for brOadcasting under the pro-
posed copyright amendment as com
pared with the cost under the present
plan Of payment direct to the society
As the latter computation is differ
ent for every station, due to the many
schedules of rates charged by the So
ciety. some confusion L. expected
among the broadcasters in determin.
ing whether or not they are for the
amendment.
A station which is receiving a very
low rate from the society might find
that under the proposed amendment
broadcasting musical compositions
would cost IT more. However, or
ga nized broadcasters say there is no
promise from the society that the low
rate will be continued.

license from the society are getting all
of their music for nothing, going only

EDSEL FORD GUEST
 AT PAUL SMITHS
Business and Aviation Discussed
 With President

Paul Smiths, N. Y, July 27 LP)- The start of. the third week of President Coolidge's Adirondack vacation today found him entertain ing MT. and Mrs. Edsel Ford of Detroit and Richard Washburn Child, former ambassador to Italy but with no announced plans for receiving other guests at White Pine camp for at least several days.
 Mir. and Mrs. Ford planned to leave this afternoon. Mir. Child will remain at the summer White House for two or three days. The visit of the Detroit manufacturer was ar ranged by MT. Coolidge before leaving Washington as the chief executive was particularly interest ed in learning Mir. Ford's views of business conditions throughout the country and aalso in discussing with him the subject of commercial aviation, in which the president takes a lively interest.
 Several months ago the Ford company announced plans for de- veloping civil aviation by the con struction of large number of planes and MT. Coolidge desired to learn what progress had been made by the manufacturers along these lines. Aside from the general out line, however, nothing was learned concerning the conversations of the president and MT. Ford, as MT. Coolidge's guests remained in se- clusion at the camp and did not receive the newspaper corre- spondents.
 MT. Child's visit, it was empha- sized, was purely social. He was not invited for discussion of for eign affairs, inasmuch as he has been out of intimate touch with the situation abroad for the past two years.
 The presence of visitors at the summer White House did not de- tain MT. Coolidge from visiting the executive offices yesterday. al- though he curtailed his calls as much as possible, spending only an nour there III the dlleTHooH lo at tend to necessary administrative business.
 The president will deliver the first speech of his vacation late next Tuesday afternoon when he will make an address on the occa- sion of the semi centennial of Colorado's admission to statehood. He Is to talk over the long distance telephone to Denver, where the speech will be broadcast.

By Beck

Naturally, he wanted to show me.
And he did.
On just two quarts of gas and
running over the Winthrop road, the
car made 1876 miles which is an
average of better than % miles to
the gallon. During the trip, the
gears were never changed and no
stop was made.
Before starting on this trip, the
speedometer was tested at Webber's
and found to be as~accurate as a
speedometer could be. Then the
car was run to Western avenue at
the top of the grade between the
muster field and the w. H. Gannett
residence Here Berry Ellis, me-
chanician. disconnected the gas and
vacuum tanks from the carbureter.
A special pipe was attached to the
carbureter and to this was joined
a two-quart cana regular Texaco
oil can. The can was filed, and
just two quarts of Texaco gas were
used. Even some of this was lost
in the filling.
Then, with four men in the car
or rather three in the car and Ellis

Ar Prices Too lowf

The president Of large automo-
bic concern, writing in . trade
publication on why's and wherefores
of greater manufacturing profits and
lower prices to the consumer as pro-
duction increases, admits that every
time there is q price cut. the dis
tributor and dealer must bear q
part Of the reduction. Il the trade
commission is 25 per cent on a car
and the reduction is 5000, the retail
end OF the business must absorb $50
of the reduction. leaving $3.50 as the
actual factory reduction.
The theory Of price reductions Is
that by stimulating sales, even
though Individual car profits are
less, profits will be greater on the
whole. What is just coming to be
appreciated, however, Is that these
greater profits are being reaped by
the manufacturer. not by the dealer.
This is because the manufacturer
can enjoy the benefit of decreased
cost of production through greater
efficiency. Departments are reorgan-
ized, econol-ies are effected, work Is
accelerated and clever machines and
tools are adopted. In the retail field,
no such conveniences are offered.
That IL where the hitch comes In.
Efficiency experts do not seem to
have figured out a way for car own
ers to get rid Of used cars at any
thing approximating the figures
asked. nor has anything been done
to safeguard dealers against the
temptation to give excessive allow
ances. In fact, the tendency Is to

Chrysler coasted~ down the hill
toward Manchester. Without a stop
the car was kept going. There
were some places where coasting
was easy, but on the other hand,
hills had to be made so the strain
was equalized.
Out to Winthrop we went, turned
around in the square and began
the return run to Augusta. Just to
the west of Dudley's crossing, he

quarts of gas had been exhausted
and the ~peedometer showed exactly

SteepIe-Chase DRIVING

Within view of the office in which
this was written, there is a bad
hole in the street where winter
weather has wrecked the paving. 1t
Is one that anyone can see and there
Is plenty of room to avoid it.
Strangely enough. a large percent
age Of drivers elected to run into it.
1t was interesting to note what
kind of cars took this unnecessary
bump, as well a. what types of
drivers. This led quickly to the dis
covery that the cars that were
driven into the hole were the kind
that could least afford to be abused.
In many Instances their drivers
were busily engaged conversing with
passengers.
Not one chauffeur driven car took
that unnecessary bump! What a re-
versal of accepted form that the
owners should prefer to wreck their
cars while the employees aim at
economy.
