BANK REFORMS

The proposed separation of secur-
ity banking from commercial bank
ing should improve both.
Controlled by new regulations, the
former should rise to greater dig
nifty and respect, taking pride in
the soundness of the securities it
offers.
Commercial banks themselves, set
loose from their security affiliates,
and having no further interest in
promoting the sale of any securi-
ties, should gain in prestige. And
commercial banks in general should
regain considerable business that
has been drifting away from them.
During the recent boom, it became
too easy for corporations to raise
funds by floating bond issues. They
often borrowed in this way, from
the investing public, more money
than they needed, and used it to
over-extend their plants and equip
ment. When hard times came, they
found themselves burdened with
heavy fixed charges. They were en-
couraged in this extravaganza by in
vestment bankers who profited by
selling their bonds.
Hereafter they may return for
many of their loans, to the banks.
And the commercial banks, having
no such incentive to lure them into
unwise debt, may do both borrow
ers and themselves a service by
moderate loans not built into the
corporation5s capital structure

MORE WOMEN RUNNING THINGS

They are holding a women's eco
nomic conference at Chicago, with
delegates from 81 countries. One
lady from Denmark told the meeting
that what the world needs is more
women running things, that women
with their experience as housekeep-
ers, understand handling money
better than the men do.
The women usually make dollar
go farther than the men will. They
are willing to shop around to get the
lowest prices. 1t is doubtful if they
would allow governments to run be-
hind financially year after year, get
ting constantly deeper in debt. But
they have not had lot of expert
ence in running governments yet,
and the politicians would set many
traps for their unwary feet if they
to manage the whole busi-
ness now.

YESTERDAY Is DEAD!

You young fellows just out of
school. You have had a tough time
the last two years. You were anX-
ious to get to work. Nothing open
ed up. You felt you were butting
your heads against a stone WALL
The Star passes on to you a
phrase it saw the other day-to you
and to the others who will join your
ranks.
That phrase is, Yesterday is dead!
The country has been begged down
before. 1t is going to begin to pull
out shortly, just as it always has
pulled out. But mark this. Busi-
ness is not coming back just as it
was before. 1t never does, after go
ing through the wringer.
A lot of old leaders and old meth
ods have passed out. A new bunch
of aggressive and resourceful young
fellows will come stomping up to
grasp new opportunities.
For yesterday is dead!
New opportunities, mind you. Not
the opportunities of the last decade.
Those are gone. If experience is a
guide, recovery will not come in or
derby fashion, along the old lines.
Keen men will see business chances
here and there even while things are
at low level. Chances that grow
out of the depression with its chang
ed demands.
Perhaps these will lie in new
products of science, in inexpensive
novelties, in house cooling, in cheap
farm lands. Men who live in the
past will overlook these opportuni-
ties. They will be thinking of things
as they were in 1929. So they will
fail to see the new conditions and
take advantage of them.
But the alert young crowd will
Jump at the new chances. develop
them, build up with them as business
builds up.
Yesterday is dead!
Have you heard of the fiu-fu bird
that flies backwards? 1t wants to
see where it has been. 1t doesn't
give a darn where it is going. Don't
be a fiu-flu bird.
You youngsters, seize any decent
job that offers. But keep your eyes
open. Be ready for new conditions,
new ideas. Your humble job may
have possibilities that the old order
did not reveal.
Remember, Yesterday is dead!-

CRUEL KIDNAPPERS

There seems no limit to the cruel
ty of the brutal men who kidnap
people and hold them for ransom
while the families of these victims
agonize and strain their resources
to pay the extortionate sums de-
manded.
The weak and exhausted condi-
ton of August Luer, n year old
banker of Alton, Illinois, when the
kidnappers returned him, was an IL
lustration of the cruelty Of these
men,. Here was an aged man who
suffered from heart attacks, and one
would think that men who had the
least spark OF human feeling would
never have picked out or held that
kind Of victim.

WORKING FOR GOOD CAUSES

1t appears to many persons to be
most difficult and forbidding stunt
to get out and work for some pub
lie movement. Suppose they are
asked to circulate a petition in be-
half of some needed improvement.
They are perhaps requested to take
such a paper and go to dozen or
20 houses in their own neighbor-
hood. The majority of people would
groan, and say they couldn't possi-
bly, do such a thing.
And yet if they did it, they would
have a pleasant time talking over
the thing with their neighbors, they
would make friends, and they would
have done much to rally public SEN
timent for a good cause. 1t is re-
ally much easier to do these stunts
of public work than people think,
and they are tremendously infiuen-
tial in accomplishing good results.

THE WOMAN'S JOB

Mrs. Bowman, president of the Ma
tional Federation of Business and
Professional Women, recently told
her organization that for a woman,
her home should be the first inter
est, and she should not consider
outside employment If it means neg
lecting her family. ,r
1t is the unfortunate situation in
many homes, however, that the hus-
band can not, even if he does his
best, provide money enough to bring
up and educate a family of children
in strictly modern way. 1t is some
proposition to provide children with
everything they need in schooling,
care of doctors, dentists, oculists,
and other specialists. Innumerable
families are not able to do these
things, and the consequence is that
many women feel they must go out
and earn.
They may see that they are not
able to give their children, when out
of the home so much, all the care
those little ones should have. But
the money they can earn can do so
much for them in physical and men
tai development, that they feel that
some of the home care must be sac
rificed.
It will help in such situations, If
the husband is willing to supply
some of the home care that the
working wives can't give. The men
have formed the habit of turning
over the whole job of training the
children to their wives. 1t will not
hurt them any to give more time to
the children. Fathers time counts
a lot with the kids.
There are some women who hate
to settle down at home, and they
are fascinated by a professional or
business career. Many of them have
talents as actresses, artists, writers,
etc. You can't blame them for us
ing those gifts. Yet if it means sac
rificing the future of their children,
they pay a high price for profess
sional careers.

COMFORT FOR EVERYBODY

The wealth of the United States
is such, it is often said. that it
should be possible to provide every
family with a comfortable living.
Our factories can turn out twice as
much as the people so far have
been able to buy. and our farms are
constantly raising more than can
be sold. Why not some plan by
which everybody shall have enough?
This ideal of comfort for every
body is one which every generous
person will strive for. But before
it can be achieved, the conduct of
many persons will! have to be modi-
fed. The indolent will have to work
with some energy. The vicious will
have to stop their dissipations. The
wasteful will have to stop spending
money as fast as they get it.
But it is complained that our
country constantly sees people suf-
fering from poverty and unemploy-
ueuls WIN nave DCtn Ahuuotl lOuo
and thrifty Every once in a while
there is a depression, and these folks
can't find anything to do and their
savings are soon exhausted.
If the Communists had their way,
they would have the government
take over the industries, and order
everybody where he should go to
work. They say that everybody
would then have work. But if peo-
pie were all treated alike, the lazy
would not work, inefficient poll
ticians would favor their friends,
and probably production would be
reduced one half to two thirds.
The best hope of realizing. the
ideal of comfort for everybody, is
to maintain our present system of
industry, but to try to so regulate
it that there shall be no over-pro-
duction. So long as there is no over
production, people will all have
work. And then the production of
all industries can be increased, so
there should be comfortable living
for all energetic and thrifty people.

PINCHING PULLETS PINCHES
PROFITS
By Prof. w. B. Krueck

Most people judge futures by a
history of the past. Every fall and
winter many farmers and poultry
men complain about being unable to
get egg production from their pull
let's. One feeder, last November ex-
pressed 1t in this way: 81 failed my
puilets last summer and they are
failing me now"
This was a frank confession, and
one that should be made by great
many feeders every year. If pullets
are to lay high priced fall eggs,
their development must not be ne
elected during the summer months.
Carrying a baby chick through the
so-called dangerous" stage, or
about six weeks of age, and then
turning them loose upon nothing
but farm grain and poor range, will
not develop profitable pullets.
Moving the brooder house 40 or
so feet whenever the sod is badly
worn down close to the brooder
house, will help to keep the sur
roundings clean and sanitary and
good turf will help to avoid puddles
and dust which may be undesirable
for the growing of pullets. The use
of some good protein such as meat
scraps, milk, fish meal, soy bean
meal and some mill feeds, along
with farm grains and good forage
viii help to make profitable fall
and winter layers. Good growing
mash will carry and furnish this
variety of ingredients in a most
economical way. The mash can be
supplemented with some good quail
ity scratch feed consisting of good
yellow corn, wheat, and good heavy
oats.
In many cases, the question of
financing a program for properly
developing the pullets may be COM
pleted by disposing of Gull hens in
the mature flock and applying the
proceeds upon the development of
the newly developing pullets.

MONEY FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS

President Roosevelt took a highly
commendable step a few days ago,
when he indicated that money
should be allowed for new post
office buildings, under the public
works section of the Recovery Act,
only when the expenditure will be
justified on a business basis. The
cost of building such a structure
must be less to the government over
a term of years, than the expense
of renting buildings belonging to
private owners.
1t is too bad that this principle
was not established many years ago.
It would have saved Uncle Sam a
great many dollars. The policy of
the government in regard to such
buildings has been inconsistent. In
many places the government had
paid high rentals year after year,
when the interest on the money
would have been much less than
that rent expense. And yet many
government buildings have been put
up where the interest on the cost
will apparently be much greater
than the rental expense would have
been for adequate quarters.
People in thousands of towns
have clamored for erection of gov
ernment buildings, whether or not
the proposition would pay The
business men in any place are al
ways against government extrava-
gance, but they usually favor a
handsome government building in
their own home town, whether or
not it will pay.
If the government was managed
in a strictly business way, it would
pay to put up many more postoffice
buildings. But if there is going to
be favoritism and graft and exces-
sive expenditure, Uncle Sam would
better get along with such quarters
as he can hire.
If we want the government to ex-
tend its activities, and take on new |
lines of work, Uncle Sam must quit |
acting like politician, and learn
to be come a real business man.

idea that every American is rich,
which has made it difficult to do
business with these folks.
Young Roosevelt probably needs
such trip as a preparation for the
large career ahead of him. But the
ordinary student does not need such
wide travels. 1t is fine if he can
have them, but if that is not prac-
tical, he can learn just as much
from newspapers and books.

WILLIAM HARD
 AT WOMEN'S CLUB
Discussed Govern m e n { Problems Here and in
 Europe Last Night

William Hard, nationally known journalist and lecturer, spoke last night at the auditorium of the Waterbury Women's Club, declar- ing that British Tories and sRoose- welt Progressives are aiming at essentially the same thing, a social economic reconstruction which will involve more and more gov ernment control which 1t is hoped will lead to a more orderly world. The speaker state that a social revolution is going on all over the world.
 England, for instance, has its coal and milk codes, he said and France has it's wine code. This same thing is happening on a grander scale in nations that have dictatorS, he pointed out, and the significant feature of the move ment is the imposition of more and more government control all over the world. In other words, he said. we are all seeking to combine the best features of capitalism and so- cialigm and while we don't know whether it will work or not we can be sure of one thing and that is that no ultimate solution of the worlds ills will be found in this generation or the next.
 Mir Hard also discussed the tariff situation, stating that the. tariff problem is one cnturiess old. He said he believes three things will come out of the Roosevelt pro- gram. First, he said, some sort of price control or. fixing, second. we shall have more and more con- trol of industry by government. and third, labor will come more and more under the control of the government.

 He said it somewhat apolegeti-
 caliy-but added that the actual work of coinage differed only in minor details with the various coins. The same processes are em- ployed in all cases.
 We walked into a great. high ceilinged room. In one corEer was a head-high stack of metal bars about two feet long, perhaps four | inches wide, and an inch in thick ness. Penny ingots," said Skinner l picking up one of them. The ingots, he explained, are
 made at the mint, being an alloy | of 95 per cent copper and five per
 cent nickel. the nickel giving the coins quality of hardness. Near us heavy rolling machine was running. Into it 8 workman
 was feeding the ingots. Under pres
 sure of hundreds of tons, they emerged in greatly heightened and | fiattened form-and so hot from
 rolling that workmen use asbestos gloves.
 The bars go through the heavy rollers II times. When the process is finished, they are about 12 feet long, six inches wide, and exactly
 seventy one-thousands of an inch in thickness.
 The cutting machine turns the long bar into copper discs, penny size, at the rate of 300 minute. The discs are weighed and the total of their weight and that of
 the waste metal must be the exact
 weight of the sriginal ingot.
 There is a definite weight for
 every coin turned out-and, even
 in the case of pennies, each elev-
 enth disc is weighed by hand, on
 balances so fine that they record 8
 pencil mark on%a piece of paper.
 A variation of one grain in
 weight is permitted in pennies.
 From the weighing room the discs were taken to;another. where they were fed into ia machine which "mills' the edges, placing upon the rim of the coin the slight ly raised margin which Is apparent on all new coins.
