CUTTING CORNERS CONTINUES

Depression hasn't slowed up the
process of change. New things con-
tinue to fight their way into the mar
ket, displacing labor, throwing old
commodities onto the junk heap.
In many lines the depression has
stimulated change, by forcing or in
ducing firms to cut costs, whether
they need to or not.
Three-cent postage sent mail order

paper proved bad for printing, as
printers know. But, after nine months
of testing it has been found that a
zinc pigment could be used in thin
paper, making it more opaque. Fill
lers had been mostly clay, tale, bar
ium sulphate. Result of the success
with zinc and lighter paper is that
one mail order house expects to save
$35, 900 on one mailing.

was 10 p. m. before the boat waddled
out Of the harbor. The craft was 120
feet overall and % feet abeam. On the
trial trip everything worked TO the sat

and the ship developed speed of
eight miles per hour. 1t was thought
that with few adjustments and lit

could be coaxed out of the craft. On
the 9Th Of June, loaded with -four and
passengers, the Emigrant with sails

started for Buffalo. press notice

BEER-MAKING HAZARDS

With the reopening of breweries
in New York the state department of
labor is reminding brewers of the
occupational hazards peculiar to this
industry, and urging them to adopt
at the outset measures calculated to
insure the health and safety of their
workmen.
Acting Commissioner Andrews is
sued a statement to all the new or re-
opened breweries in the state, review
ing the usual accident and sickness
hazards of the industry, and appealing
to employers, not only to adopt the
most up-to-date safety measures anc
appliances, but also to conduct a spe-
cial educational campaign among
foremen and workmen with the object
of accident prevention. New Yorl
sets an example that would be wei
for all states to follow.

MONDAY Sunlight 465, 900
Times Stronger Than Moon

The monday sun on clear day
gives 465,000 times as much light as
the full moon at Its zenith. 1t pro-
vides the earth with nearly 10000
600 times more light than all the stars
In the sky on clear night.
These calculations Of relative illu-
mination are presented In the mete-
geological tables of the Smithsonian
institution.
The table for relative illumination
intensities, prepared by the weather
bureau, takes for its unit measure the
foot candle-the amount of iilumina-
tion received from a standard candle
a foot away. The MONDAY sun, 1t is
calculated, has an intensity of 1900
foot candles at the surface of the
earth. At sunset, this falls to only
33-foot candles.
The illumination from the full moon
at Its zenith Is only two-hundredths of
foot candle, but this, in turn, Is ten
times as much light as comes from the
quarter moon. Starlight amounts to
only eight ndred-thousandths of q
foot candle.-TaylorT Tycos. Rochester.

Development of a new self-polish-

is announced by the Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research. The an
nouncement says the heat of the foot
activates a polish impregnated in any
color in the leather so that the shoes
require only slight rubbing to pre-

the leather, which are said to make
it wear better, add to its water

Merchants Oppose Bill
Limiting Hours of Work

New York.-A bill in the state SEN
ate to fix the hours of workers in
mercantile establishments is opposed
by the Merchants Association on the
ground that its passage would have
the effect of forcing many small
stores out of business and would i'm
pede the operation of large stores.
Concerned primarily with profits, the
Merchants Association sees the bill
only as hampering business and ig-
nores benefits it might have for the
workers.
The bill provides that no person
owning or operating mercantile es-
tablishment shall require employees to
work more than eight hours in any
day or to work later than p M,
except on Friday and Saturday, when
such employees shall not be required
to work later than 8 p. m.

FOREIGN
Securities Sold Here Now
Largely IN. g."

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-A large
part of the $12,OO0,O0O, in foreign
securities issued in the United States
since the war have proved worthless.
Walter L. Miller, chief of the eco-
Monies division of the department of
commerce, told the house interstate
commerce committee.
While testifying on President Roose-
velt's securities BILL Miller said:
"Since the World War, over $12,-
000,000,000 in foreign securities have
been sold in the United States"
Glow much of that" asked Repre-
sentative Wolverton, of New Jersey,
"has gone bad?"
"a very considerable portion of
those issues now either are worthless
or have declined drastically in value"
Miller replied.
Referring to the issues which
reached twelve billion dollars in Is
years, he added:
Lacking legislative authority, the
state department has not been as
active perhaps in prohibiting the sale
of foreign issues as some believe de-
sirable."
From 1919 through 1881, Miller
added, total securities sold in this
country, including foreign, totaled
$4,000, 0,000,OO0 Of that amount, he
testified, $50 per cent were either un-
| justified or worthless"

HIGH INSURANCE SALARIES

The Toledo Union Leader recently
asked, "Why not trim the big insur-
ance salaries ?" The Leader cited a
Wisconsin legislative inquiry, which
revealed that the average salary of
presidents of life insurance companies
$4,000 in 1882, with many receiving
much above that figure. Five presi-
dents, for example, received an aver
age of the modest little sum of
$4,000 each.
Pointing out that the policy holder
pays the cost of the high salaries and
that insurance rates have not been
reduced, the Leader asked why high
salaried insurance executives should
not take cut, especially in view of
the fact that many of the insurance
companies are leaders in the demand
for government and private wage
slashing.
The Leader asks a pertinent ques-
ton, one that the big insurance COM
panies are beginning to consider. New
York dispatches say one large COM
pany is reported ready to reduce high
salaries 25 per cent. This is a size
able but, but would mean much less
to the man receiving high salary
than to the man receiving a small
one. In the case of the high paid
man, it might mean fewer luxuries,
while for the small salaried worker, it
might mean going without adequate
food, clothing and other necessities

THE ANTI-JEWISH BOYCOTT

Hitler's NaZi government, which
started to ignore the opinion of other
nations, soon found that world opin-
ion meant something, after all. 1t
didn't take the more level-headed of
the Nazi leaders long to realize that
hostile world feeling spelled loss of
trade to Germany, as we'll as other
disadvantages, and they began to
curb the most exhuberant of their
followers.
The anti-Jewish boycott was ap-
proved, or perhaps tolerated, but it
was held only day and was not re-
sumed, as planned by Nazi fira-eat-
ers. The Hitler high command pre-
tended that the boycott had been
effective in stopping demonstrations
in other countries against persecution
of Germany's Jewish population, and
the government announced resumption
of the boycott was therefore super.
fluous." The government was OF
course seeking an excuse for block.
ing movement that could only harm
Germany, and seized upon the first
opportunity to call off the boycott.
World opinion can't be f1outed with
impunity by any nation. Hitler and
his followers are finding this out.

THOMAS. j. DONNELLY

Commenting on the activities of the
lobby boys" in the house of repre-
sentatives at the state capital, Her.
bert r. Mengert, the we'll known Co.
lumbus writer, in his political column
in the Cincinnati Enquirer last Sum
day, had the following interesting
article on Thomas ]. Donnelly, secre-
tary of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor:
"On the labor side, Thomas J.
Donnelly, Columbus, is one of the
best. When Ohio labor legislation is
stacked up against that of other
states, the Buckeye protective meas
ures lead in nearly everything. That
fact was shown glaringly in discus
sion of the child labor amendment.
'Donnelly overcame the opponents
by showing Ohio had nothing to fear
from congressional action because
any prospective national law would
be less stringent than the Ohio stat
utes. His reasoning here may be at
fault in a theoretical sense, but in
a practical vote-getting sense it was
unanswerable.
"But Donnelly is something more
than mere spokesman for union
crafts and trades. He is a sort of
grand old man for the good of all
the people, as he sees it. Repre-
sentatives of capital contend with
him one moment and seek his advice
and counsel on matters of mutual
interest the next. Personally, they
love him and, when the time comes.

makers know instinctively to be sus
picious of any piece of pretended la
Dor legislation for which Donnell,
does not labor earnestly.
"An unusual citizen is Thomas J
Donnelly, useful, honest, courageous
and temperate, and gifted with &
sense of humor AS a person, quite
apart from his particular work, HI
has high influence about the halls
because he is what ne is, more thar

DON'T ISLANDER THE PIRATES

Reformers should not call certain
business manipulators pirates. 1t may
be unfair to the pirates.
The president of the American
Tobacco Company in 1880 was getting
salary of s1,o10,0Oo and bonus of
$l,169,280. Four of the five vice
presidents of the company got $2,-
$4,000 the same year, or more than
a half million a year each. Most
folks would be content with such in
comes, but not these gentlemen.
In January, 1881, these five men
allotted themselves 32,37O shares of
unissued company stock, at a price Of
$25 per share. The day they put
