Disreputable Friends

Text: The Son of Man came eat

hold a man gluttonous, and wine
bibber, friends of p,lblicans and
sinners.-St. Matthew 11:19.
One of the surprising things about
the life Of Jesus is tire number of
disreputable friends He had.
One has only to recall the names
of those who are mentioned as hav-
ing enjoyed His friendship to realize
that the charge of His enemies that
He associated with "publicans and
sinners" was true.
Of Himself, He said that He had
come not to call the righteous, but
sinners. to repentance. Among those
for whom He manifested personal
regard were men who had gained for
tune dishonesty and women who were
outcasts from decent society.
A man like Zachaeus would, il
these days, be called crook. He wa'
a grating politician, renegade jew
a man who had no standing in re
spectacle circles.
| Matthew belonged to the same ord
er. perhaps in a less influential posi-
ton. About the last thing a Jev
of that time would do. if he care
for his reputation, would be to be
come a tax collector for the Roma
government. There is pathetic not
in the story that when he wanted t
celebrate he gathered together
group of other men engaged in tn
same business. No one else woul
have come to his house.
, The New Testament is rather har
on the respectable. Its sympathi'
; are always with the sinners who's
sins have found them out. Its wri

COMMODITY PRICES
SHOW FIRST GAIN
Slight Increase for Week
Ended March 7 Reverses
Long Downward Trend.
BY the Associated Pres.

~ enc ASSOCleLeQ Press.
A definite improvement in the coun-
trys business condition appeared on the
horizon when the wholesale commodity
price index compiled by the Department
OF Commerce advanced to $50 for the
week ended March z, as compared with
1913 the previous week. The index Is
based on 1926 averages as 100.
1nSlgnincant as the gain might ap-
pear, 1t Is all the more striking when IL
Is realized it follows many weeks of ad-
verse showings. In fact, the depart
ment's records show the last previous
gain on April 5, 1880, which indicates
4S consecutive weeks Of decreased or
unchanged trends.
Sentiment here generally is better.
This factor, though intangible, is highly
important. Contributors to this feeling
include the recent action of the stock
market, the expansion of steel mill oper-
ations and an excellent demand for
cotton textile goods.
Latest statistics on steel operations show
the mills operating at more than so per
cent Of capacity, as compared with "a
per cent last December. It has been
said this improvement is due chiefly to
increased demands from the automobile
industry, picked by the country as one
of the logical leaders to better times.
Sentiment in the industry has gained
by leaps and bounds in the last few
weeks, as 1t is expected to profit mate
rally by the veterans cash compensa-
ton measure passed in the closing
hours of Congress.
Production in all lines of business has
been cut greatly as has consumption,
but statistics show the latter has been
so in much less degree than the former.
This means that eventually the over
supply must become exhausted and
production speeded up to take care of
current requirements.

PRECEDENT POINTS
TO TRADE PICKUP
Merchandise Exports Showed Up
ward Trend After 1921
Recession.
BY the Associated Press.

6y the ASoOClaIeQ ETcSS.
If the current slump in American
merchandise exports follows a curve
similar to that of the 1921 recession,
there win be slight pickup In 1881.
The "if" in the above statement looms
large, because Of somewhat different
trade situations abroad, but there has
been so far marked similarity in fig
ures.
Exports for January, 1881, were val
ued at $3.50, 900 900, the lowest of any
month since the 1929-193O depression
set in. That figure, coincidentally, Is
approximately the same as the export
value of $3.50, SOC, 900 in February, 1922;
the low point in foreign trade during
the 1921 slump.
American exports of merchandise In
January, 1921, following the peak years
OF 1919-1920, were valued at 1884,
000,0 900. The decline set in swiftly the
next month and by December of that
year export valuation had fallen to
1926, 100000. The decrease continued
for two months, until the low mark was
set, in February, 1922.
There was considerable pickup in
March-about $50 1000, 900. For the rest
of 1922 there were alternating gains
and losses, with the trend generally up
ward. Slow gains were registered in
1928 and 1924.
Our export business in 1880 fell to
about the level of 1922. It was 10 per
cent below 1929 which was regarded,
however, as abnormally high.
Government economists have noted
slight signs of general trade improve
ment in Europe, the Far East and South
America.
