The listed bond market Is con.
tinuing its encouraging steady ad-
vance to new high prices for the
year. This, with an expansion for
the second consecutive week in
commercial loans by banks, fur
nisheS the most comfort in the
present situation.
Bond financing, however, last
week was the second lightest
for the year. A total Of $28.539,-
500 in new issues were put upon
the market. This compares with
the week before's total of $780,
767 900 and $54,515,000 in the cor
responding week year ago. Last
weeks loans were practically all
for municipal governments. There
was one foreign issue-a 1850, 900
loan for Bergen, Norway.
The months total, however, is
not far behind the amount placed
a year ago. To date this month
$i35. 900, 900 bond issues have been
brought out, against $145,000,000
In August, 1929. There are several
large offerings being prepared, In

Rough Going

kOugn GOlug
The boot and shoe industry is
entering the close Of an unsatiS-
factory year. Production volume
has been down from 1929 and
the hand-to-mouth buying by the
public has affected sales. Inven.
tories are said to be large. High.
er tariff duties helped the feeling
in the industry. The leaders are
in a strong position and, while
able to make money even in a
depression year, there seems little
immediate chance for a while OF
any sustained upward movement
in their shares. There are, how
ever, long-term possibilities for
those desiring semi-inveStmentS.
The best stocks in this group are
Brown Shoe, Florsheim. Interna-
tional Shoe, Melville and I. Mil
Ter.
Thompson Starrett, mentioned
mere some time ago as a good
low-priced bet if the outlook for
the building industry improved,
came to life Saturday with q two
point advance. Earnings for the
first quarter were only slightly be-
low the same period in 1929, and
the company has a good volume
of business on its books. The
action of the stock indicates a
quick play but I wouldn't advise
following the move too far.

CURES TO END.
DEPRESSION
IS URGED
Noted Economists Study
Means to End Slumps Simi.
lar to That Just Ended
BY LEWIS HANEY,
Director New York University Bureau
Of Business Research and Former
Economist Of Federal Trade

Commission.
We are all now looking for
ward t. the time when business
recovery will set in. We are also
seeking means to relieve the hard.
ships Of those suffering from de.
pressed conditions. and to hasten
the recovery time. Naturally q
good many proposed remedies are
UP for discussion.
For example, well-known
Cleveland bank Off al tells US
that holidays and winter shut
downs in the circus business are
like business depresSions. He
argues that in uch cases we
merely make preparations in ad-
vance and suffer little disturb
ance as a result. The implication
is that we shou' see business de-
pressions coming and accumulate
reserves to tide us yer. Then we
might slide down comfortably
and SAFELY"
Must Prevent DepressiOns
But such a procedure would
take the depressions for granted.
What we want is to prevent de-
pressions, for it is inevitable that
many will be unable to make ade-
quate provision for them. Surely
it is not very comforting to say
that we must go ahead and COM
NIT the same business eXceSSes Of
over-production and speculative
initiation, merely trying to save up
enough to tide us over the in
evitable recession.
Business dcpressionS are de-
cidedly different from regular
holidays and periods of seasonal
let down. The latter are regular,
and we know just when they come
and how long they will last. Above
al they are not due to overpro-
ouction and initiation.
Others are seeking remedies
through government aid. They
want new loan corporations and
more credit. They urge the gov
ernment to anticipate its pur-
chases of materials and its con-
struction Of roads, etc.

A representative of the Machin-
lists Union shows wages paid by the
La France Company and its non-union
competitors. The schedule reveals the
same wage differences that obtain be-
tween union and non-union concerns
in every branch of the industry.
Here are few illustrations: The
La France Company pays its union
toolmakers a dollar an hour. Its
nearest "open shop" competitor pays
it's non-union toolmakers rs cents an
hour, difference of So in an eight
hour work day. La France pays its
union automatic screw machine oper-
atives 81 cents an hour. The nom
union concerns 60 to 65 cents an hour
for the same class of labor. The
union firm pays lathe men 81 cents
an hour, while non-union lathe men
get but 65 cents.
All the way down the schedule from
gear cutters to apprentices the same
differences in pay between union and
non-union workers are noted. The
lowest wage paid by the union La
France Company to any of its train
ed employees is 62 cents an hour, while
the non-union concern drops its wage
minimum to 40 cents. Even appren-
tices in the union shop are paid 25
per cent more in wages than appren-
tees in non-union shops.
A study of these comparative wage
schedules reveals the advantages
offered by union labor to all wage
earners. 1t indicates that it pays to
be a member of a union.

WHO is PROSPEROUS NOW?

According to the income figures for
1927, about II, 1000 Americans got one
fifth of all the cash dividends paid by
domestic corporations within the
country.
Putting it another way, something
like one-hundredth of the American
people in 1927 got fifth of the divi-
dends paid by corporations in coun-
try where under the new capitalism"
we are told that even workers are
becoming stockholders.
1t is conservatively estimated that
four million Americans did try to be-
come stockholders or rather stock
gamblers on Wall street only to be
shaken out by the inevitable collapse
of mass gambling.
Not a single real value was SUBJ
stantially altered when paper values
which had been driven preposterously
high fell to what may in some cases
be preposterously low.

Why We Do
What We Do

BY M. X. THOMSON. Phi. d.

WE LIKE to tease because we en-
w joy the embarrassment of the
person who is teased. Teasing is an
effort on our part to create comic
situation at the expense of the other
fellow.
Teasing is mild form Of bullying.
II gives sense of elation, Of strength
and mastery. just as the bully picks
on someone much smaller than him.
self, so the tease is careful to select
children and interiors for his victims.
He does not dare to take such liber-
ties with superior, his boss for ex-
ample. We do not mind being teased
by superior partly because we can
not help ourselves and partly because
we "egard it as a mark of distinc
ton. We feel complimented If 1t is
in good humor. B 1t we absolutely re-
sent teasing from an inferior. 1t is
no compliment and we have effective
means of defending ourselves
AS rule it is much more crafty
ing to do the teasing rather than be
the victim of it. We especially dislike
having the tables turned on us as In
the following illustration: Some years
ago when hangings were public an
Englshman and an Irishman who were
riding together happened TO pass the
place of execution and saw a man
hanging on the gallows The English
man. carer to poke fun at the Irish
man, remarked: "Where would you be
Pat, if every man had his just de
serts?" "Begorra," said Pat uphold
ing his international reputation at rep
artee, "an' I'd be ridin' in this car
riage all by myself"
There still another element in
the desire to tease. When INDUCED in
by equals and intimate friends it be-
comes a game. friendly rivalry,
battle of wits. 1t is gratifying to get
the better of another person in hand
ball, boxing, wrestling or any athletic
contest. 1t is also great sport to down
a friendly rival In clever witticism
We tease to show up the other fellow
and to show off our own nimbleness Of
mind.

The overlords of our industrial life,
beyond some worries for the psyche
logical situation, haven't suffered at
their control by gathering up the
stocks the little fellow had to drop.
Of course, the Rockefellers bought
stocks during the crash. Why not !?
1t was bargain sale. The old story
of the fleeing lambs has been re-
enacted. Will the men and women
who lost ever learn the lesson that
there is no real wealth apart from
labor?

LABOR PAPER POINTS WAY

Birmingham, Alabama, business in
terests are told what is the matter
with industrial conditions in their
city in straight talk by the Labor
Advocate, official organ of the Bir-
mingham Trades Council and the
Allied Printing Trades Council. In a
front page editorial which is apple
able to conditions in all other cities as
we'll as to Birmingham, the Advocate
says in part:
Birmingham has apparently set
tied back into the old state of mind
and the folks are going along as best
they can under the circumstances.
That business is bad is an undisputed
fact Everybody, from the big busi-
ness man to the working man, says
so. The working man is not employ
ed, and he has no money to spend, and
as the business man must have the
money the working man makes to get
along, he is in a bad fix, too. Busi-
ness men talk to our adver-
tising men, and the tales they
tell about the lack of business would
lead one to believe them on the verg 2
of bankruptcy. We know that a vast
number OF our people are unemploy-
ed, and from present indications it
appears that they will remain unem-
ployed So what to do, what to do, Is
the burden of all laments.
eve don't know, and if we did have
solution it would be ignored be-
cause we represent the "labor ele
ment," and that being so, we can not
be right However, we have told Bir-
mingham business men and merchants
what is the matter with our city, ard
it is up to them to believe or not to
believe, and act on our suggestions
or ignore them. We do not claim t.
be infallible, nor do we claim to nave
more knowledge than others, but, as
we have said before, to remedy these
present conditions men must be EN-.
ployed at decent wages, at short
hours and under decent working con.
ditions. When this condition obtains
then, and not until then, will Bir-
mingham snap out of it and get back
into the place she should occupy"

OLD AGE SECURITY

David C. Adie, of the Buffalo, N Y,
Council of Social Agencies, and a
member of Governor Roosevelt 5
commission to study old age pension,
in an address before the Women s
City Club of Buffalo, cautioned his
audience against believing that the
sending of pay checks from Albany
every two weeks would solve the
problem happily and completely. Mr.
Adie added the reminder, "We must
give not only bread, but musa con-
slider the people themselves" In
other words, help in money must be
accompanied by understanding serv-
ice. To make sure of such service,
Mr.. Adie believes the proposed pen
sion funds should be administered
through boards in charge of which
are trained, kindly people," who
already have or would form close con-
facts with aged dependents.
If Mr.. Adde'S suggestions are fol-
lowed, the humanitarian side of the
proposed old age pension system will
be cared for effectively. Just as per-
tinent to the problem were his com
ments on the need of seeing to it that
the old age pension plan shall be free
of inducements to thriftlessness. 81

"that would make us a nation of

he spoke of the group "that ought to

this connection he added, "The law

JUDGE ALPHONSE PATER

Judge Alphonse Pater, on New
Years Day, started his new four
year term as Judge of Hamilton's
municipal court. Judge Pater's re-
seating on the bench meets with gen.
eral approval all around. He made
a splendid judge of the city's muni
cipal court during his past incum-
bency, and it is expected of him that
he will do the same during the four
years ahead. He has been lenient at
times, and he has also shown firm
ness when the various cases before
him called for firmness. He doesn't
believe in locking up and throwing
the keyes away on some poor devil
who commits some minor offense
while the big fish get away. He be-
lieves in giving the first offender a
second chance, where the case justifies
such action, but usually after talk
ing to that sizzles and makes the
offender do some thinking that usu-
ally brings good results. In other
words, Judge Pater believes in tenn
pering justice with mercy and-this
meets with general approval, also.
Keep on with the good work, Judge
Pater; good luck and the best wishes
of the Press throughout your whole
term.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Seven pounds is computed as being
the average birth weight for babies
solely because the majority Of them
arrive weighing somewhere near that
amount. The average normal monthly
gain in weight for the first six months
is one and one-half pounds. This,
allowing for the fact that at about
IL days baby weighs just what he did
at birth, causes baby to double his
birth weight at the fifth month.
If it keeps on gaining at an average
OF one pound month from the sixth
to the twelfth month, he attalnS
weight OF 81 pounds at one year. Thus
the rule that baby doubles his weight
at nve months and trebles IT at one
year holds good only for the baby
weighing seven pounds, or about that.
at birth. The child for instance, who
weighs nine at birth, won't weigh q
at one year, but will gain one and one
half pounds a month for six months,
which brings him to a weight OF ID
first two weeks failure TO gain, which
is 17l2. Adding six more for his next
six months gain brings him to 1914
pounds at one year.
An admirer asks: Baby weighs 81
pounds, five ounces, at nine months
and is fed five feelings of 25 ounces
pasteurized milk, Is of water and six
tablespoons of sugar. Is 1t advisable
to increase this formula in hot
weather? How can I eliminate the
fifth feeding? when can she have
undiluted milk? She gets cereal.
PURGE of spinach, carrots, tomatoes and
Eal i1fin Nf ho
ounce of cod liver oil. When shall
start beef juice and how shall I pre-
pare it? She had her first two teeth
at eight and one-half months without
upset, will the next ones go harder
with her? "She sits alone without sup
port, but cannot get up to a sitting
position and shows no inclination to
crawl or stand. Is this due to her
weight?"
When babies weigh 90 pounds,
usually at one year, they get four
daily. Your formula should be
strengthened as rapidly as is consis-
tent y adding one more ounce of milk
and extracting one ounce of water
until it arrives at 80 ounces of milk
and eight ounces of water. Keep up
five feelings for a time, then take
out the eight ounces of water gradually
and feed this diminishing fifth bottle
to baby at night. Reduce sugar to
four tablespoons.
Beef juice isn't essential, though
vegetables are, and soup is considered
an appetizing way in which to serve
vegetables. (This Is all In our leafiet
which you may have, as well as the
one on Average Ages at Which Teeth
Appear" for only a Self-addressed,
stamped envelope) Don't anticipate
trouble with the second group of
teeth. Baby is rather heavy, which
may retard her inclination to crawl
and stand and make her more
awkward She is still at this crawling
standing period and has plenty Of
time to try 1t out.
