WOOL PROGRAM
CONTINUED

None of the 10 major activi-
ties which form the present pro-
gram Of the Wool Institute will
be affected by the consent decree
issued Friday by the Federal
Court, it was learned yesterday.
The decree enjoins practices which
the organization aban d o n d
months ago upon hearing that
they were in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
General opinion in the wool
goods and other textile markets
is that the decree will aid rather
than harm the institute in its en-
deavors to stabilize the wood in.
dustry. AS A. D. Whiteside
pointed out in a statement issued
to the press Friday: The decree
will have beneficial effect on
the wool industry as q whole, in
that it clears the atmosphere of
any misunderstanding that may
have existed regarding the inter
probation of the law, and gives
the wool industry of the United
States clear sailing chart, lay.
ing down a specific course, point
ing out those activities which can.
not be carried on and. by infer
ence and deduction, giving full
scope to a continuation of the
proceedings now followed by the
institute"
The decree was the main topic
Of discussion among wool goods
producers and distributors over
the weekend. Even among fac
tors outside the institute there
was evident disposition to praise
The efforts of the institute. In
some quarters it was predicted
that the decree will have a good
effect in that it will lead to agi-(
tation for revision of the present
antitrust laws, which are regard
ed as hindering the progress of in
dustry. There was also heard
criticism of Government inter-
ference in business"
The activities which the inSLi-
tute is carrying on with vigor and
spirit are briefly: Collection and
distribution of statistics on bill
Ings, production and stocks; style
service: development of accurate
coSt-finding methods; arbitration
of trade disputes: broadening the
market and research into outlets
for wool goods.
The action taken by the Gov
ernment came as no surprise to
millmen who were acquainted
with the investigation of the in
stitute undertaken by the Depart
ment of Justice some time ago.

BY JOk1N T.. NENAGNS ON"
Restricted buying and laggard-
ness in the upward movement on
the stock exchange has brought
serious discussion among the
brokers of Washington as to the
ultimate future of the market.
Many of them are frankly wor-
ried over the trend the market
is taking and are keenly watch
ing for some change in the busi-
ness outlook.
A majority of brokers here,
actively connected with affairs
in New York, declare that the
entire future of the stock range
depends upon the condition OF
business and the recovery OF all
classes of industry to the point
enjoyed some months ago. An
other class of the brokers, how
ever, declare that there will be
sveral months of low prices be-
fore the stocks reach promising
peaks. They point out that
concerted move. is under foot to
force liquidation to the, extreme
so that all stocks will be placed
on a trading future.
Several Wall Street houses
have issued statements to the
effect that if another drive
against stock prices is attempted
and fails, it would be fairly con-
elusive evidence of the inherent
strength of the market. Chief
of the brokers issuing the state
ments is M. j. Meehan and Co.,
who maintain local offices.
A general poll Of brokerage
firms showed that they expect an
upward change in the market
within the next month that will
be of lasting effect. Some of
them declare the trend will soar
within the next few days while
sthers say it will be a number
n weeks before the definite up
swing will be established.

STOCKS RENEW
MOVEMENT
UPWARD
BY w. S. COUSINS

New York, July l GIN 81
After a short reactionary period
in which the stock thrown on the
market at the opening was quietly
absorbed, industrial stocks and
utilities showed their ability to
push forward to the best price
levels on the move. Investment
buying was reported in number
of the leading brokerage houses,
while short covering was also in
progress in stocks that have been
under pressure in recent weeks.
The motors and oils were
buoyed up by a moderate buying
wave based on more favorable re.
ports from the retail markets.
Gasoline consumption is on the
increase, and Oil prices show every
indication of Stabilization. Chrys-
Ter was a leader in the motors, ris-
ing to % in active trading. Stand.
ard Oils of New York, New Jersey
and California advanced about a
point each.
United States Steel sold frac.
tionally above 100, a rally of near
ly 9 points from the low of last
week. American Can at 122 was
UP about IA points from that
level and General Electric up 8.
The ability of these speculative
leaders to rebound sharply with.
out penetrating the November low
average was the most encouraging
bulliSh sign in a week. The same
was true of Consolidated Gas, in
the utility group, and New York
Central in the rails.
The commodity markets were
still unsettled, and lower prices
were recorded for cotton, silk, tex
tiles and local produce. Grain
rallied fractionally. Call money
renewed at 21a per cent.

Group life insurance through
the test of the years is recognized
as one of the most effective and,
at the same time, one of the most
economical investments which an
employer may make. An inveSti-
cation made several years ago
brought out the fact that group
insurance program adds but l per
cent to the annual payroll of
, company for a volume of inSur-
G., ance approximating one years
salary for each employe. !
"a Many employers are convinced
that the dividends which such
program pays in contentment, in
~ efficiency and in good will far ex-
eeed the financial contribution.
. Ahen employees join with the en-
ployer in purchasing group inSur-

outlay is materially less than /

Diversity Noted
~, It is interestin' to note the di-

which have endorsed group insur-

insured concerns in the United

ferent claSSificationS of successful
enterprise and the total volume of
. group insurance in force-$9, ,300,-
O00,000-protects the lives of g.
100000 workers. It is very inter
eSting to contemplate the far
reaching effects of the benefits of
group insurance.
These 6,750,0O0 workers who
, are group-inSured represent ap
3 proXimately one-quarter of the
. workers in America who are ELI
, gible for group insurance protec-
ton. If it is assumed that each
worker group-insured is response
BILE for the income to three de-
pendents, group insurance as it
exists today in industry does or
i will eventually affect the lives of
b, 25,O0O,000 people - one-fifth of
the entire population of the

therefore. are not confined to
the plant or to the industry in
which the worker labors but they

home which in the last analysis

Extension Need
That there is a great need for
the extension of group insurance
among the working classes in
America is established by an
analysis of statistics gathered by
committee of the National In
duStrial Conference Board which
show that Is per cent of the
workers in America are ineligible,
on account of physical incapaci.
ties, for ordinary life insurance.
Much as they may want it. they
are unable to purchase it. There
fore, group insurance is to them
an opportunity. A study of the
death claims indicates that 40
per cent of those on whom death
claims are paid under group in
Surance policies leave no otneI
insurance and little, if any, other
assets at death.
In 1929 alone. death and dis.
ability claims paid by all COM
panies under group insurance
contracts totalled $71,O00.000. In
other words, nearly $6,O00.00O a
month was paid out in group in
surance benefits. The proceeds
not only protect the insured EN-.
ploye and his beneficiacy. but
they make an economic contribu-
ton to. the community and to a
great degree render charity un-
necessary at any rate for a years
time.

WASHINGTON. Oct. IA. The tiny planet Eros moving toward the earth from far out in space is ex- pected to bring astronomers a new yardstick to measure the solar sys- tenn.
 Astronomers of the naval ob- servatory already are making pre- liminary observations of this nov ing point of light which in Janu- ary will come within about 16,000, coo miles of the earth.
 It will be photographed by wide ly scattered observatories in a world cooperative program sponsored by the international astronomical un- ion.
 Marking the closest approach Of measurable celestial body except the moon, in many years, Eros will swing well within the orbit of Mars, but will stay outside the earth'S orbit.
 One of the thousand odd of the planets, or asteroids, in the earth's family circle, Eros, judged by it's brightness, is believed about 15 miles in diameter.
 On January %, at the time Of it's nearest approach, Eros, about the seventh magnitude, almost can be seen with the unaided eye. Stars of the sixth magnitude are just visible to the naked eye.
 Eros is very important to astron- omers since it comes relatively close to the earth, and is so small that it can be considered mathemat- ical point with no mass, breadth, of thickness to upset calculations.
 These near approaches take place only at long intervals, the last 30 years ago when the distance was almost twice as great as 1t will '5e in January.
 It is explained at the observatory that the sun, present yardstick for planetary distances, is inadequate since there is a probable error of 100000 miles in it's calculated dis

COMPARES AND WYNN ON TRIP
 TO KETCHIKAN
F orm CT Returning Next Week-Winn Is Enroute
 to States for Winter

Accompanied by Gov. George A. Parks, Dennis Vim, Alaska Agent for the United States Bureau of Fisheries left today for Ketchikan and, after spending a few days there, he will proceed to his winter headquarters in Seattle. The Gov ernor will return here early next week.
 Except for the failure of reds in Bristol Bay and shortage of pinks in one or two western areas, the salmon fisheries this season have been demonstrated to be in 9 highly satisfactory condition, ' Mir. Vim commented yesterday.
 The pink salmon fishery of South east Alaska, he added, was featured by the greatest runs of fish on record, resulting in a pack above normal and unusually heavy escape ment to the spawning beds.
 The Governor and MT Vim will visit Petersburg and Wrangell en- route to Ketchikan. MT. Vim will remain there until about October P, sailing then for Seattle on the Fisheries flagship Brant.
 The two officials are making the trip on the Widgeon, Capt. Greg Mangan. That vessel will go on the ways at Ketchikan for repairs and overhaul, and will be there possibly three weeks.

GLORY to God in the Highest, and
on Earth Peace to Men of Good Will. .
The men of long ago dreamed THEN
dreams and saw their visions. Abra-
ham, Jacob, Joseph, Isaiah, Ezekiel
Daniel and glorious company OF
God-fearing men. Each one of these
old-time dreamers saw visions OF
widespreading vistas of great oppor-
tunity. These visions, however, were
more or less for special nation, race
or creed
The vision of the angels and the
hymn of glory they sang on a hill
side in Old Judea over two thousand
years ago was universal. That mes
sage touches prince and pauper alike.
1t is the only vision left to US in a
world dangerously inclined to become
case-hardened with commercialism
and surfeited with distrust and Gym
cism.
Columbus had a vision. On the call
of that dream he launched out on the
mighty Atlantic to find the fruitful
shores of his dream Raphael also
had a vision. Pictures beautiful and
glorious were in his soul and mind,
and his life's work was to leave them
on canvas, unsurpassed by any
painter. Michelangelo also dreamed
beautiful dreams. Out of discard

IN EVERY HAMILTON HOME
CHRISTMAS

Santa Claus, no doubt, is very busy
these days, but in none of the branch
HEADQUARTERS he has established is
there more activity than the one at
14-16-1S Main street, where a little
band of faithful men and women are
tirelessly working that no home In
Hamilton is to lack some of the
Christmas cheer God intended that
all should enjoy on the anniversary
day of the Lords coming.
With the great amount of unem-
ployment with it's resultant more
needy and unfortunate persons than
ever before, the committee in charge
of the christmas in Every Hamilton
Home movement has, indeed, a her
culean Job on its hands. 1t is the tenth
annual campaign of the more pros
porous people of Hamilton to see that
the less fortunate enjoy of Christmas
cheer, and the committee in charge
is bending every effort that this
years work shall outdo all previous
attempts.
However, to accomplish it's noble
purpose the committee requires help
much of it-and every citizen who
possibly can should put their shoulder
to the wheel and boost. Those who
can should make contributions of
money, for while the estimated
amount of money needed to fill the
baskets believed required has been
donated by generous people, yet there
are always many late unlooked-for
demands on the committe, and too
much money can't be had. Another
thing, the more money brought in the
more generous the committee can be
in the filling of baskets to be dis
tributed. Then, too, the committee is
in need of a number of men and
women to help prepare the baskets
for distribution. Anyone who can and
and has the time and will offer his
