Where Will They Drive?

There is no "saturation point" in the auto
mobile industry, we have been told. That need
no longer worry us; as long there are cars for
yale there will be buyers.
But the prediction Of John J. Raskob, finance
chairman of the General Motors Corporation,
that with the Ford Motor company in produc-
ton in 1928, the automobile industry will pro-
duce about 5000, 600 more cars during the year
does give us a serious thought.
That serious thought is: traffic.
With the thoroughfares in the cities teen.
ing with automobiles and during the rush hours
and on Sundays and holidays vertable Crush
es, where are these 100000 more cars going
to navigate? Available country roads in the
nelghborhoods Of cities are thronged now on
holidays, and the rush to build more good roads
has failed woefully to meet the demand
The possibilities of automobile production
are boundless, Raskob says, and there is no rea-
son to doubt him.
But, where are they going to drive?
This gives the highway officials of every
county in the nation a problem-and, in the
cities, nightmare. The only answer is: the
roads must be built.

Washington, failing to break the silence in
which President Coolidge has buried his hopes
and plans for 1928, had tried to find out some
thing about the matter from Mrs. Coolidge.
But the first lady was num- too.
Mrs. Coolidge remains her natural self. Has
she asked the. president whether or not she
should make any social engagements in Wash
ington after March 4, 1929? No. she hasn't.
Has Mrs Coolidge noticed any change i'll the
president since he said he did not choose to run
in 1928? Well, yes, she has. The president has
been more agreeable, more cheerful, that is all.
Did Mrs. Coolidge read about the presidents
intention of going back to Vermont TO whit
tie? Yes, she read that but that was the first
she had heard of that.
Doesn't Mrs. Coolidge know anything OF the
presidents future plans. Well, no. she doesn't
He tells her about such things after they have
happened.

women voters that lone Of the Fundamental
rights of citizenship is the right Of our people
to organize and oppose any law and any part Of
the constitution with which they are not in

The governor says that he has taken oaths
to sustain the constitution of New York state
and that there are parts of that constitution
that he "hates." But having promised to sus-
tain it, he will sustain it, not giving up, how
ever, the right to oppose the parts that he does
not like.
AS president, he would have to sustain and

that he now occupies-hater and sustainer.

British Justice"

So much is heard in America Of the superior
1ty Of British justice" that it is almost pleas
ure to record that Homer not only mods occa-
slonally but sometimes actually does Rip Van
Wrinkle.
Oscar Slater has just been released from a
British prison after having served eighteen
yearS6 life term for murder which, it is
now admitted. he did not commit. There was
much doubt about his guilt at the time of his
trial, and public agitation resulted in commuta-
ton Of the death sentence. But it is only after
eighteen years that the authorities admit that
mistake may have been made. One of the
principal witnesses makes affidavit that she
a,d not intend positively to identify the man,
sbut was influenced by the prosecutor"
And this is not all. It has been intimated that
Slater was convicted to shield man Of high sta
ton. Still, Americans will refrain from gloat-
ing over this British error. We simply ask
them not to gloat over ours.

Industrial Research

Research has become SO important an adj
junct of industrial management in the United
States that the computation by the National
Industrial Conference Board of annual cXpen-
ditures aggregating $20O,0OO,o0O for laboratory
work should not be surprising.
The federal bureau Of chemistry and bureau
of standards have greatly extended their work,
while the bureau of mines has for many years
conducted valuable researches in its own espe-
cial fields, including metallurgy and coal pro-
duction. Industrial corporations have been
bringing the chemist and the engineer into their
service with laboratories equipped Tor expert
mentation, testing, discovery and invention.
Within seven years the number of firms hav-
ing special research departments has virtually
doubled, the census gathered by the National
Industrial Conference Board showing over a
thousand Of them.
Here is another factor III the industrial su-
premacy of the United States. American manu-
facturers have always been ready to scrap old
machinery and adopt new plants or methods
that promised greater efficiency or economy of
production. But they no longer wait for the
university professor to announce discovery.
They do not look across the ocean to Germany
for experiments in applied science. They take
the scientist from the university and the grad
yates in chemistry, engineering and other scien-
tific branches, and set them to work in labor
atories.

Editorial Comment
22O Million Real Dollars


Farmers of the Northwest have received in
cash, for 1927 grain crops. 220 million dollars.
or ninety-nine million dollars more than had
been paid to them at this time last year.
Part Of this increase may be due to more
rapid marketing. There may be less grain left
on the farms than at this time last year. But
much of this gain Of more than eighty-three
per cent is due to more abundant yields, and to
markedly better prices for corn rye, oats, bar
ley and flax.
In any event, this increase Of ninety-nine mil
lion dollars is no mere paper gain, not just a
matter Of bookkeeping. The dollars are real,
the whole 220 millions of them, and they al
ready are in the pockets of the farmers, avail
able for paying off debts, making farm and
family purchases, and bolstering bank accounts.
This gain in cash received for grain takes no
account of the grain that is going to market
in the form of meat animals and milk and but
terfat. In the case of beef, at least, there will
be a marked gain here. too.
Further evidence that the Northwest is in
far better shape than at any time since the
bursting of the postwar boom is found on the
Federal Reserve Banks books. Loans to men,
Der banks now aggregate only little more
than two million dollars, as against five mil
lions year ago, and lis millions in 1921.
This amazing decline in demand for money
from the Federal credit pool does not mean that
lHc COIIAluIlIIleS VI The NORTHWEST are using
less money than formerly. Indeed, they are
using more. It means simply that the COM
munities Of the Northwest are using their own
money instead of somebody ese's money 1t
means that the communities once again have
enough Of their own money to meet community
credit needs.
The worst Of the pessimists can no longer
deny with any show of plausibility, that the
situation here in the Northwest is looking up.
Give to this region one or two more crop years
like the year 1927, give to agriculture more
adequate protective duties on such of it's pro-
ducts as nova find import competition in the
domestic markets, and the Ninth Federal Re-
serve District, the Minneapolis trade area. will
shortly become that land of promise and plenty
which nature intended it to be.

The Seasons Football Toll
(MinneapOliS Tribunel

Statistics for the 1927 football season do not
indicate that playing hazards are being SUBJ
stantially decreased. This fall the gridiron took
toll ofl7 lives as compared with eight fatal
tiles in 1926. Offsetting this SOLDERING record
to some extent, however, are the figures for
major injuries; here about 100 serious acct
dents are listed, as compared with 200 the pre-
vlous year. Fatalities increased more than 100
per cent; major accidents declined SO per cent
The hazards of the game, it would appear have
remained fairly constant and this in spite of
the fact that every effort has been made to
minimize the chance Of injury. New rules had
removed the goal posts to a safe distance from
the Held OF play. They had encouraged the
use OF the lateral pass, which was expected to
open up the game and make it less Of a bruising
Undertaking ordeal. Yet on the surface Of
things little Roadway in the direction of safety
was actually made.
1t is probable however. that more progress
has been made than is indicated by the figures
Football is gaining new recruits by the thou.
SANDS; there were more squads and larger
squads in 1927 than in 1926. Sandlotters and
professionals are constantly swelling the play
ing ranks. An increase in casualties could nor
mally be expected Instead major injuries have
taken spectacular drop, and even the fatal
ties, while all too numerous, represent an
astoundlngly small percentage Of those par
ticipating in the game.
Worth noting, certainly, is the fact that only
five Of those who met their death on the grid
iron this year were college players. Univer-
sity authorities are seeing to it that students
are -expertly coached, properly conditioned, and
cjosely supervised. Under such circumstances ey

IF Cherry worried half as much

her, she'd stay out Of at least half
Of the emotional messes in which

Elected with a good deal of scorn
for herself and little contempt for
Cherry. The other emotion which
she would not admit, because no
woman can ever be wholly honest
with herself and bear to live with
herself thereafter, was envy for that
very quality Of Cherry's which was
endlessly involving her in heart en-
tanglements. Faiths own love life
had been SO narrow, how yer deep
it might have been-and she had to
console herself that at least, it had
been deep-that she had long since
become accustomed to living vicar
iously in Cherry'S hectic existence.
So, while she was genuinely wor-
ried about this strange new situa-
ton in which Cherry apparently
found herself, she was also enjoying
it, feeding her own rather starved
heart on the excitement Of it.
Accustomed as she was, even if
she could never quite understand
them. to Cherry's lightning changes
Of mood, Faith expected to see a
radiant, exhil&rated Cherry come
home from the office that afternoon
to get ready for her hastily trumpet
up date with Bruce Patton.
But when Cherry did arrive at
