because lney nave reached the
limit of their borrowing capacity
at least, the limit they consider
it safe or prudent to go.
This is not astonishing when
you remember that the daily
value of transactions some.
times exceeds $500 900 900 par
value and quite often $250,0O0.-
900 without there having been
the slightest increase in the
stock exchanges total member.
ship of 1.100 since 1879. when
the addition made totaled only
40 seats. The tremendous ex.
pansion in the business enjoyed
by members Is reflected by the
advance in the value of seats
on the exchange from less than
100000 few years ago TO over
100000 today.
Probably it will be found
necessary by and by to admit
proper care of the public's pat

Neen as Ever
George +. Baker. New York's
S7.year-old banking leader, al.
though not able to move around
very actively at present, is men.
tally as keen as ever. A friend
who talked with him a day or
two ago at his home found him
intensely interested in. all that's
going on business-wise.
] understand that the reports
received by Mr.. Bakers First
National Bank during the last
few weeks have been distinctly
more encouraging than they were
for a time before then. This
conservative old institution. with
the pick of important clients,
takes quite an optimistic view Of
our spring business prospects. I
understand that its feeling is that
some of the highly speculative
stocks may experience more OF
less readjustment downwards but
that nothing in the way OF a
serious collapse is regarded as
threatened. A good deal of the
markets advance, it is reasoned,
has represented the discounting
of impending betterment in gen.
eral business early next year.
Coming from such source,
that's very encouraging.
Schwab Gets Degree
Our universities gradually are
recognizing the national worth
of our ablest, most constructive,
business leaders. The University
of Pennsylvania is today going
to confer on Charles NJ. Schwab
the honorary degree of doc
tor of science. The science
which most interests Mr.. Schwab
in these later years of his life is
the science of what he calls
Human Engineering" meaning
the betterment of human rela.
tionship in industry and business
in general. especially between EN-.
ployers and their workers.
am told that Judge Gary
confided to a friend within a wear
of his death that if he could
have lived his life over again he
would have modified his attitude
towards workers.

more important than machinery or
gigantic profits? Happily. some
of our veteran leaders are now
earnestly trying to impress this
upon the younger generation of
executives. And progress is being
made.

MISS C0UZENS
TO MARRY
DETROITER
Engagement to William
Runner YaW An
nounced

Madeleine Couzens engaged! And
to a Detroit "go-getter" instead
of to one of the round dozen
young diplomats and dilletantes who
have hovered about her since her
debut in 1929. One wonders how
many of Washington's youthful
bachelors will be in mourning.
The lucky man Is William Runner
YaW, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. John
v. Yaw, of GIouster, Ohio, and
graduate of Ohio State University,
who has been living in Detroit for
the last five years. He Is with
the Goodrich Tire and Rubber
Company. The hridegroom-to.be Is
not unknown here, having made
several visits to Washington last
winter when he put up at the
Chevy Chase Club.
The announcement Of the engage.
ment was made from Wabeek
Farms, near Pontiac. Mich, the
beautiful new summer home of
Senator and Mrs. Couzens, where
they recently had q house.warming.
Senator and Mrs. Couzens are ex.
pected in Washington soon, but
Miss Couzens viii not arrive until
the middle of November.
No date has been set for the wed.
ding. but it does not seem likely
that 1t win take place until after
Miss Couzens completes her law
course next spring. Although she
has no intention Of practicipg, she
has studied consistently and hard,
letting social activities take a sec.
ond place in her interest; and for
the last few months she has been
taking a summer course at the
University of Detroit, committing
each day from Pontiac. She has
always been her fathers chum, and
through him has acquired fine
grasp of public affairs. However.
she is no blue stocking. She likes
to dance and is one of the best Of
Washington's horsewomen.
