"All Europe, particularly Germany,
is interested in American methods OF
mass production. Many engineering
missions have recently come to TINS
country to visit American factories.
Europe will go far in this dlrectloli
of installing labor-saving machinery
but will be handicapped in competl-
ton with the United States by the
fact that the volume of consumption
in their own countries is compare
lively low. The need in Europe is
to raise the standard of living-to
get people to consume more"
Mr.. Woolley believes that there is
an important new factor in the Amer
lean business situation-"the growing
economic culture of the average bust
ness man."
Mr.. Woolley traces the new interest
in practical economics to the war,
when the Government at Washington
made scientific surveys of the re-
sources and productive power OF the
country. He pointed out that bank
letters and financial pages OF news
papers are giving the average ousl-
ness man an opportunity to keep fully
informed concerning the trade.
Abroad, he said, there is no COMPARE
tive amount of public interest in busl-
ness statistics. The bankers in Eu-
rope may be interested, but the busI-
ness men are not.
illustrative of this American trend,
Mr.. Woolley cited an incident which
occurred when he was motoring
through Maine in the Summer OF 1920
shortly before the post-armistic col
lapse in commodity prices. lie went
into a general store in the Maine
woods, run by the McCloskeys, who
have had the store for several gener-
atoms. II saw handkerchiefs at so
cents apiece which appealed to me,
and I asked for six" Mr.. Woolley
told me.
1.-THE storekeeper informed me that
he could only permit me to take two
Merchant Rations His Goods.
"I asked him why, and he said. I
think we are facing a major defiatlon.
and that by the end of the year prices
will be cut in half. / am therefore
buying no new merchandise, but want
to keep some goods on the shelves for
the benefit of my customers. LII did
not ration goods, my shelves would be
bare, and I would probably allow some
salesman to talk me into stocking up
II asked the country storekeeper
how he reached his opinion, and he
replied that he had been following the
Boston bank letters and the financial
pages of the city newspapers.
ut was interesting to me that a
country storekeeper kept himself 50
we'll informed. The incident is typical

of the widespread economic culture in
the United States"
Though an intelligent student OF
business, Mr.. Woolley Is far from the
academic type. He entered business
in Detroit SO years ago, Immediately
after leaving school. He worked in a
wholesale concern. and learned all
sides of the business, including keep
ing books. He assisted in organizing
the Michigan Radiator & Iron Co. in
1887 when he was "a years of age.
He became secretary and director of
the company. In 1892 he moved to
Chicago and helped to launch the
American Radiator Co, of which he
has been chief executive since 1902.
During the war Mr.. Woolley served
as representative of the Secretary of
Commerce IN the War Trade Board.
Mr.. Woolley's company was modified
during the war, turning out 10000
shells a. day for the allies. Mr.. Wool
ley received the Cross of the Legion
of Honor.

COOLIDGE TO HEAR
PLANS FOR RELIEF
Tentative Legislation Dis.
cussed by Visitors at Sum-
mer Capital.
By the Associated Press.


RAPID CITY, S. D., August IL
Railroad consolidation, farm relief
and the Mississippi flood situation
were problems opened to discussion by
President Coolidge today with Sena'
tor Fess Of Ohio and Representative
w. E. Hull of Illinois, who came into
the Black Hills for Summer confer.
ences at the State Game Lodge.
The Ohio Senator brought with him
the prediction that Congress would
insist on a naval program which
would place the American Navy upon
an equality with that of Great Britain
in the event President Coolidge was
unsuccessful in obtaining guarantees
for limitation at another armament
conference.
Mr.. Fess spoke Of the farm relief
bill, which Secretary Jardine Is cred.
tied with sponsoring, as having many
good features" He added that farm
relief bill was bound to be passed in
the next session, but that 1t would
not contain an equalization fee pro-
vision. The so-called Jardine bill, he
said, was similar to but an improve
ment over his own farm relief pro-
posal of the last session. This bill
would set up a Federal farm loan
board with revolving fund Of $780,
100000 to loan to co-operatives and
farmers and would attempt to further
cooperative marketing.
Representative Hull. a member Of
the House rivers and harbors commit
tee, was expected to discuss the Mis-
sissippi River flood situation. He was
also interested last year in q bill for
the manufacture of medicinal whisky
by the Government.

NEW PARL0R CAR
LINE HERE URGED
Traction Company Would
Open Coach Route to CIeve-
:and Park.

Permission to establish a new 25
cent parlor car coach line from Cleve
land Park TO the downtown section
was asked by the Capital Traction
Co. In a letter to the Public Utilities
Commission today.
rnc innovation Of parlor car trans
portation with a special rate Of fare
was made by this company several
wears ago, when it started the coach
line which runs from Chevy Chase to
the Capitol.
The application made today for an
other parlor car line is somewhat
similar to the request made by the
company in December, 1925, but which
was refused by the former Utilities
Commission. For a part of the dis
tance the new route would cross the
path of the original parlor car line
and would issue free transfers to 1t.
Two Routes Suggested.
The company suggests two possible
routes for the new line in order that
their relative merits may be weighed
should the commission decide to hold
a hearing.
The first route is as follows: Start
ing at Thirty fourth and Ordway
streets northwest, south on Thirty
fourth street to Cleveland avenue. east
to Garfield street. west to Thirty
fourth street. south to Massachusetts
avenue, southeast on Massachusetts,
avenue to Seventeenth street, south
on Seventeenth street to street. east
to Thirteenth street, south to E street,
east to Tenth street, south to d street.
west to Eleventh street, north to f
street, lying over at Twelfth and E
streets, returning via the same route.
except using X street instead OF l
street between Thirteenth and Seven.
teenth streets.
The alternate route would take the
following course: Starting at Thirty
fourth and Ordway streets. south to
Garfield street, east to Cleveland ave-
nue.. southeast to Calvert street, east
to Connecticut avenue, south to kalo-
rama road, east to Eighteenth street,
to O street, to Seventeenth street.
to I street, to Thirteenth street. to
E street, to Tenth street, to ID street.
to Eleventh street, to E street, re-
turning via the same route, except on
X street between Thirteenth ana
Seventeenth streets and on Massa-
chusetts avenue between seventeenth
and Eighteenth streets.
"Our experience has clearly SHOWN,
wrote ]. H. Hanna. president, tndt
the operation of service OF this CHAR
ecter does not seriously compete with
raraIlel street car or bus lines op'
Grated at a lower fare. We believe
thai the character of the territory
through which either Of the proposed
ro,,tes M will operate is of such a nature
as a viii prove exceedingly attractive
for m a high-grade parlor car bus iine'
tbat II viii be profitable and the op'

The new line would be operated on
@ 2o.minute schedule, with extra ser''
ice as required.
