Everyday Law Cases
Is Employer Bound BIZ All
admissions Mode By Employe?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

If certain statements of the chauf.
feur of the Anderson Company were
admitted in evidence, the company
stood a likely chance to be liable for
damages in personal injury case.
The evidence which counsel for the
Anderson Company wished to exclude
pertained to the following occurrence.
Two days after Margaret Brown had
been injured by a truck belonging to
the company and operated by Henry
Smith, chauffeur, the husband of Mrs.
Brokn called upon Smith. In the pres
ence Of several witnesses, Smith was
said TO have declared that the brakes
of the truck were out of order, and
that he was sorry the accident had
occurred as he felt he was in the
wrong
Other evidence in the case was
conflicting. There was testimony
showing that Mrs. Brown had not
been walking in the pedestrian path
way when she was struck. and there
were witnesses in Mrs. Browns be-
half to the contrary.
To strengthen his case, the counsel
for Mrs. Brown endeavored to intro.
duce into evidence the chauffeur's ad-
missions, The defendants counsel,
however, objected on the ground that
such evidence was not proper.
In accordance with the we'll estab-
lished principle involved, the court
barred the admission, declaring:
THE fact that one is in the EN-.
ploy of a company does not make all
his acts and declara tions competent
evidence against the company. Only
those made by its agents when act.
ing for it in their line of duty are
thus competent. The admissions of
the chauffeur, made some time after
the accident. were manifestly not in
pursuance of his duty to his employ
er, and cannot bind the latter"

HOW 1T STARTED
The Common Law.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

At the time of Justinian and Theo-
dora, which has been called the one
gleam of light in the dark story Of
Rome, the Roman law was contained
in 5000 books, which no fortune. could
buy and no intellect could compre-
bend.
To meet the difficulty, Justinian, on
the suggestion of Theodore, carried
the Roman law books into the street
and made a bonfire OF them.
With the help of his wife he then
compiled the book known to us as the
"Justinian Code" and it is upon this
book that the common law Of England
Is built.
Since our common law is taken from
England, it naturally is derived from
the old Justinian code.

A fourteenth century meal was re-
Gently served in Paris. The menu
was taken from the recipe book of
Taillevent. chief cook to the King of
France at that time. The tablecloth
was SO pleated that 1t hung in front
ca each guest for him to use as a
napkin. The serving dishes and de-
canters were Of old pewter. In front
of each guest was a wooden platter.
The first course was eel pastry.
| with hard-boiled eggs, cloves, saffron
and rissoies of marrow. Spiced wine
and red and white claret were served
| with this course.
Next came minced fowl. highly
spiced and served with thistle roots
and stuffed hare and salad. Old red
wines of Auxerre and Carcassone ac-
| companied these two dishes.
Perhaps the thistle roots were what
we know as artichokes. At any rate.
you will notice that plenty of vegeta-
bles and salad accompany the dinner.
And. Of course. there was a full ac-
compartment of wine with each
course.
Various kinds Of roots and also
leeks. served with spiced sauce and
garlic. formed a vegetable course.
This was followed by light pastries,
pear pie and cream cakes, with which
still champagne and Jurancon wine
were drunk.

Questions About Food.

/. How long may grown-ups go
without food without suffering per-
manent harm to their bodies? How
long may children go?
2. What are the ages when the
character of the diet changes ma
terially?
3. How are changes made at the
different periods?
4. Is it harmful to eat between
meals?
S. Is it better to have the main
meal Of the day at noon or at night.
ANSWERS.
1. An adult may maintain an abso-
lutte fast for three or four days
without serious harm. A growing
child could not do this without per-
manent injury to his health. He
must have his food at regular hours
every day.
.. The stages are as follows: From
birth to weaving, from either breast
or bottle; from weaving time to
school age; from school age to
adolescence; from adolescence to
maturity; from maturity to old age.
g. Chiefly along two lines. First.
added variety and second increased
portions.
4. Healthy adults who eat sufficient
food at meal time to keep them in
good health do not need to eat be-
tween meals unless they are suffer-
ing from some special strain. Chill
dren do usually need to eat between
meals, but this eating must be done
at stated intervals, as, for example,
mid morning and mid afternoon.
5. Like most other questions about
diet, this cannot he answered by yes
or no. For children, it is unquestion-
ably better to serve the chief meal
in the middle of the day. For
grown ups, especially those who do
desk work. it is usually advisable to
have the light lunch at noon and to
have the chief meal of the day at
night when the strain of the days
work is over.

Can you tell me how food supplies
energy to the body? Will you also
tell me if there is sugar in the blood
of healthy person?-Mrs. l.. p.
Energy for mechanical work, that
is, the lifting muscles, or any move
ments of the bodily frame, is derived
from oxidation of fat and sugar in the
diet. Experts are coming to believe
that the most important fuel for our
muscles is carbohydrate. Carbohy-
drate in this case refers to a certain
type of sugar. Practically all authori-
ties admit that when intense exercise
must be carried on. sugar is the best
fuel.
AS for your second question, the
blood of a normal person does con.
ssin what we call blood sugar This
sugar is glucose and in normal human
blood the proportion varies from .08 to
.lS per cent. This sugar is found be-
tween the corpuscles and the plasma
of the blood.
At one time it was thought that the
sugar in the blood remained constant,
but we have learned that there are
variations. These are not extreme, al.
Enough they increase naturally during
exercises. When a person is fasting
the blood sugar goes down to about
.08 per cent. If meal containing a
large quantity Of sugar has been eaten
the glucose or blood sugar may rise
TO .18 per cent. Any excess of sugar
that is not used by the body is stored
away in the liver muscles and the
white blood corpuscles. These organs
return this stored.up sugar bit by bit
whenever the blood sugar falls to a
level that is below normal.

The Money Outlook.

Still examining the problem of
whether the price level for securities
is too high and admitting that the
trend of commodity prices Is down
ward, as was pointed out in the last
article in this series, we now have to
take into consideration the money
outlook.
In the first place we note that the
United States now has approximately
half the gold supply of the entire
world Moreover this supply is in
creasing and not decreasing. The
statistics show that more gold is COM
ing in than is going out. In the Sec
ond place we find that money is OBJ
tainahle whether for speculation or
for trade on terms that are easy COM
pared with the average In recent years.
We find also heavy oversubscrip-
ton of all desirable new bond issues
and a generally strong bond market.
In other words, money Is abundant
at the present time and, as far as that
factor governs, there is no reason for
expecting a major decline in security
prices. This money situation may, of
course. change but when 1t does the
result will be seen in quotations for
fixed period loans and for commercial
paper. ANY important reversal of the
money trend would be accompanied
by an increase in the rediscount rates
of the Federal Rerserve Banks. The
signs will be so plain that anyone can
read them.
Now what is it that would bring
about any such change? There are
three or four possibilities. One might
be turning about Of the gold move
ment, already referred to. Another
might be excessive speculation in
stocks which would make unusual de-
mands upon the money supply. An
other might be too large an amount
of new financing for the market to
absorb. This is a very real danger
and should be watched closely. Finally
an extensive trade boom with large
forward buying and advancing COM
modify prices would bring higher
money rates.
.. Most of these contingencies look i'm
probable at this writing but these
are the points to be kept in mind when
coming to any decision as to the per.
manency of the present security price
level.
Evening star., 1927-03-12

who has made first-hand study OF
the situation, offers this answer to
the query which the leading financial
centers are raising:
THE outlook for franc stabilization
at cents is favorable, If Poincare
contents himself with that level for
the currency. With favorable bal
ance of trade, with the budget bal
anced, and with the export of capital
checked. there is no reason why
stabilization should not be permanent
in France. Interest rates in France
are sufficiently high, and prices, both
of French bonds and stocks, are SO
low that the flow of capital should be
in the direction of Paris for many
months to come"
The chief new element which the
Poincare government injected into the
French financial situation was con-
f1dence.
AS DIR. Friday points out. when
Poincare came into power in 1926, the
floating francs abroad had been re-
absorbed by the French favorable
trade balance. The investors of the
country bad exported tens of billions
of francs and owned the securities and
the exchange which they had received
therefor. Rates of interest in France
were high, much higher than in the
countries with stable currencies.
Nation Thoroughly Alarmed.
French securities, both stocks and
bonds, were low. These French inves
tors were quite ready to bring their
capital back into France and take
advantage of the high interest rates,
if only they could get assurance that
the franc would stabilize or would
rise. The nation was thoroughly
alarmed at the situation. A commit
tee of experts, appointed on the last
day of May, had made a most sensible
and emphatic report. Thus armed
with public opinion and expert ap-
proval, Poincare forced through the
necessary tax legislation to balance
the budget in record time. The specu-
lators feared him, for they had lost
heavily in 1924 when they matched
their wits against his. The wiser ones
rushed for cover, therefore, and with
in three weeks after the franc had
touched it's low of 2 cents it stood
again at approximately 3 cents"
From present indications, the franc
will not go the way of the mark,
which ultimately became worthless.
At the present level, however, the
franc, compared to it's mint parity, is
worth only 25 cents on the dollar
That may prove to be the basis on

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Futility of Hindsight.

The back alleys of every financial
district are Uttered with broken indi-
vidualS who bemoan the tact that
they once could have bought United
States Steel common stock for ~ a
share.
Frequently excellent opportunities
are passed up because securities are
quoted higher than they were at some
time in the past. The minimizing
forget that corporations, like cnllofen.
eventually grow up. In the process Oh
development many wither ana lace
away. Those which survive are likely
to he strengthened by experience as
thev approach maturity. A security $
worth must be judged by present facts
and future prospects-not by the mem
cries of the past.
This logic works both ways. Flux
is the law of business as OF lte,.
Properties and investments that
were once strong sometimes become
weak. Merely because shares OF the
New Haven and the st. Paul railways
were before the war considered prime
investments is no reason for jumping
to any conclusion about their present
worth.
Moving With Tides.
Unless a corporation is backed by
management that is prepared to fight
conditions-to adapt the enterprise to
the demands. of changing times~-it is
destined for ultimate decay. Real
management consists of moving with
the tides. When the old Studebaker
Co. perceived that the automobile was
displacing the horse-drawn vehicle, 1t
had the good sense to switch from
wagon making to automobile manufac-
turing Likewise, after the war. the
e. l. du Pont de Nemours Co. of VIII
mington, Del, which had been en-
gagged primarily in the making of gun
powder, transformed its manufacture
ing facilities for a variety of peace
time pursuits. other war babies, like
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, did
likewise, turning from armor plate
and shells to full line of steel prod
ucts for constructive purposes.
If the philosophy of hindsight is
carried to its logical conclusion, one
would refrain from acquiring real
