WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page y


differences between the two measures.
1t was the bitterness on the tariff that
was largely responsible for the SEN
ate authorizing a Federal inquiry into
lobbying in Washington. This state
ment is borne out in the announce
ment that representatives of various
groups interested in the tariff will be
the first to face the Senate inquisi-
torial body. tits an open secret that
those sponsoring the inquiry were
hopeful that the revelations in the
tariff lobby would influence the ulti-
mate fate of the tariff revision meas
ure.
The prospect of warfare along eco
nomic lines between business giants in
the merchandising field is attracting
attention of Congress and government
officials. Back of the demand of the
| meat packers organizations for per-
mission of the government to vacate
consent decree is the story of a
battle for supremacy in the distribu-
ton of merchandise. Some years ago
while there was a pronounced agita-
ton in Congress for governmental
control of the packing industry the
packers took the easiest way out of
difficult situation by consenting to
an agreement which withdrew them
from retailing-merchandis other than
meat products. They claim that they
were scared into acquiescence by pO-
litical rather than by economic trends
at the time. Now they want the De-
partment of justice and the Depart
ment of Agriculture to approve of
their project which contemplates the
establishment of a nationwide system
of retail stores in direct competition
with chain stores, mail order houses
and Independent merchants.
In all the discussion of reversing
the President on provisions of the
tariff law little attention is given to
Senator Borah and his influence.
Borah split with the President again
on this issue and in the true sense of
the word deliberately lobbied against
the Presidents program with marked
success. 1t was Borah, more than the
Democratic leaders, who handed Mr.
Hoover this second rebuff The inside
story reveals that it was not Borah's
Oratory but his promises that won
support of the Republican insurgents,
who might otherwise have voted for
the Presidents proposition. In the
cloak rooms of the Senate they say

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. straus)

A statement recently was made that
last year more than half of the rub
Der consumed in the United States
was reclaimed. A number of years
ago huge deposits of copper in certain
sections of the West were considered
of no value. but means have since
been found to handle this low-grade
ore on a profitable basis and millions
of dollars in raw material are being
conserved.
A good grade of paper is made from
corn stalks, lumber is also produced
from the same product. A material
said to be harder than wood is manu-
featured from stumpage and saw
dust. Furnace Stag, once considered
of no value by the steel companies, is
now made use of for various purposes.
At one time very little scrap iron was
used in the manufacture of steel in
gots. Today scrap is used in large
quantities. Many commercial compa-
MES are conserving and selling pro-
ducts hitherto wasted. In the oil in
dustry particularly there are numer
GUS by-products of great commercial
value. The pulp from sugar cane is
manufactured into board, and cotton
seed is source from which many
profitable by-products are derived.
1t is not the purpose of this article
to record all the examples of waste
elimination now found in the world of
business and industry. The refer
ences here made are merely to show
that the processes of waste elimina-
ton are almost limitless.
Recently an important official in a
large business organization said to
the writer: 81 asked one of my associ-
ate executives to give me daily re-
port of everything he did. He had
complained that he was overworked.
His report showed that he was spl nd
ing a great deal of his time doing
things that were unnecessary to his
duties"
Quite often great accomplishments
result from things done in spare time.
There are business projects of con-
siderable Importance that had their
origin as spare time propositions. A
lawyer of the acquaintance of this
writer now occupying a high position
acquired his legal education during
spare hours long after he had passed
the days of youth
There are few of us who are not
wasting. some time, some energy, and
some money. The amounts involved
may seem trivial, yet if we study
our individual problems closely and
strive to turn these wastes to profit,
vast difference will be made in our
personal progress.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY
AGAIN SPONSORS CHICAGO
SYMPHONY BROADCAST

The Standard Oil company Qndi-
ana) has made arrangements with
Professor Stock to resume the Sunday
afternoon broadcasts of The Chicago
Symphony Orchestra. The series will
start on October 20, from 2 to 3
o'clock, Chicago time and will be
given each Sunday afternoon following
for period of six months over WGN,
Chicago, WWJ, Detroit, WTMJ, Mil
waukee, woo, Davenport, WHO, Des
Moines, WOW, Omaha, WDAF, Kansas
City. KSD, st. Louis, KSTP, st. Paul,
WEBC, Duluth-Superior.
The Standard Oil company's con-
tinued sponsorship of these concerts
is response to the articulate appreci-
alton of the audience who listened to
last seasons series. The mounting
vigor of the listeners hosannas for
Professor Stocks offerings seem to
indicate that since the air was first
tapped for it's sounds, no program has
been more cherished than the Sunday
afternoon broadcast of the Symphony
Orchestra.
Doubtless there are many wealthy
benefactors or big corporations who
might have sponsored these programs
purely for the public veal. But, the
Standard Oil Company happens to be
the patron, and it is to their enter
prise and civism that thousands of
music lovers will again delight in
the expert performance of the Sym
phony Orchestra
Professor Stock proceeds with the
comforting certainty that fine music
has a tremendous allure for great
numbers of people. Many of them are
debarred by distance or other OBJ
stacles, from attending the Symphony
Orchestra's regular concerts. 1t is to
these thousands that the Standard Oil
Company presents the six-months SER
les for all that it may mean to them
Tribute to the Symphony Orchestra
came from the most remote parts of
the country. Listeners seemed to take
much delight in the inimitable pre-
ludes of Professor Stock himself dur
ing each concert. There was a like
able intimacy about the whole offer
ing, and even people to whom Sym
phony had meant music on a remote
and classical plane, found themselves
caught in the thrall of the Standard
Oil hour.
The previous season has served
more or less in the nature of an ex-
pertinent for this years offerings
Medolic pieces from the works of the
great classicists will be given, as well
as compositions of contemporary mas
tiers. And, as the orchestra has
proved before, it can be as gay and
lightsome as any caroller, when it
serves a lively measure.

satisfy them.
A delious, filling food for this time

with salt and pepper, and allow for
each square one-half teaspoon mo-
lasses and one-half teaspoon melted
butter. Bake fifty minutes, or until
soft, in moderate oven, keeping COW
cred the first half-hour of cooking.
If preferred, the squash may be
baked without the moliasses.
To serve: Serve in the shell as it
comes from the oven. Generous al
lowance must be made for enough but
ter to add to the squash. If desired,
each person may be provided with a
small pitcher of melted butter to pour
on the squash.
If preferred, the squash may be re-
moved from the shell before being
brought to the table, mashed, seasoned
with butter, salt and pepper, and
served in a vegetable dish.

of campaigning in their states as a
reward for their vote in defeating
