MAKING IT CLEAR

The French are famed as the
most lucid of modern peoples. And
the new regulations which have re-
Gently been issued to tell the farm
ers what they can do go get rid Of
wild boars is a model of lucidity.
After stating hat hunts may
be organized by the departmental
officials and then by the municipal
authorities, the order adds that
farmers may kill a. wild boar
which is destroying their crops, or
they may kill him if the animal
has not done any damage to the
crops. There are a few restrictions
about how the Staying is to be
done, but the permission to kill if
the animal has done any damage
or if it has not done any damage
is certainly clear enough for any
one to understand. If all laws
could be made as simple as that,
we should not need many lawyers.

SPORTS THAT PAID

Track and field games are SO
seldom profitable nowadays that
the $4,000 profit made at the
Olympic Games last summer is al
most startling news. The gross re-
ceipts, according to the latest fig
ures, came to nearly $2,ooo,0oo.
1t is hardly probable that this
remarkable showing means that
next years intercollegiate or ma
tional championship meets will pile
up big profits. The international
aspect of the Olympics, a lot Of
skillful publicity, and the long
period which had elapsed since the
games had been contested, were
contributing causes.

TACKLING A BIG JOB

Milo Reno, who organized the
farm strike in Iowa a few months
ago, now threatens a national farm
strike in the spring if the new ad-
ministration does not pass prompt
ly measures to relieve agriculture.
Mr.. Reno's proclamation would
be more disturbing if he planned
to confne his activities to Iowa,
South Dakota and Nebraska. His
earlier strike worried city jewellers
in a limited area but talk about
spreading the movement to the
East did not go beyond talk. 1t is
not difficult to organize the dis
contented farmers of one district
but, if it can be done on a national
scale, it will be the first time.

GOOD MERCHANT

Mr.. Loree of the Delaware 8
Hudson Railroad, who quietly
bought in virtual control of -th<
big New York Central system last
year, has proved himself a very
good merchant in previous big
transactions.
Some years ago he sold his coal
mines when prices were high for
$35,000,0 00. With this money he
picked up control of the Wabash
and other railroads., which he later
sold at a good profit. Then he
invested these profits in govern
ment bonds and waited for bargain
days.
Last year, when the stock mar
ket was demoralized, he sold his
bonds and bought heavily OF. New
York Central. Whether this will
prove profitable time will tell, but
Nj. Loree at least bought the
stock when it was selling at the
lowest prices in the %company's
history.
Now Loree is very optimistic,
and predicts that much better
times will be seen by next fall. Mr..
Loree has been a good man to fol-
low in the past. Let us hope he|
is right again.

FORD go. becomes banker
By coming to the S of the
Detroit banking situation Henry
Ford has again demonstrated his
public, spirit, and probably has set
himself up as a fresh target for
the abuse of the envious
Mr.. Ford refused to become a
director OF a minority stockholder
in the two big Detroit banks-rhat
were in trouble, because he has orr
ginal ideas about the way banks
should be run, which he couldn't
make effective if he were merely
one of a group. But he and his son
came forward with a proposal to
supply all the capital needed for
two big new banks to take over
the old ones.
I would be willing to make a
fair-sized wager that Mr.. Ford
will introduce revolutionary ideas
into banking and will be as sue
cessful in that his he has been in
his other ventures.
CASH it talks
Henry Ford and his son unques-
tionably have more cash in banks
subject to check than anybody else,
in the world. Yet Mr.. Ford has a
profound distrust of most bankers
and their methods.
He told me how once, in his earl
[y days, he set a trap for some
bankers and they fell into it. He
had been told that a certain group
bankers wanted to get control
his business. He went to them
and talked poor" They lent him
what was then a large amount of
money, about a half million dol
.ars. Shortly before the note came
due he wrote them a letter asking
FOR an extension. The next MORN
ng the head of the banking house
was in his Office, offering an extern
sion on condition that MI. Ford
would turn over a controlling in
5erest in his company to the bank
RS.
Ford's answer was to write al
check for the entire amount of the
oan with interest.
THAT was my first lesson in
high finance" he told me.

ORIGINALITY Ford asset
| have known Mr.. Ford for a
good many years. What makes him
different from all other leaders in
business is that he has no fixed
brain patterns" Because things
have always been done in a certain
way does not seem to Mr.. Ford
sufficient reason for continuing to
do them that way, if a better way
can be found.
Mr.. Ford is often called an auto
GRAFT, because he insists upon doing
things in what he believes to be the
right way. He has no patience
with people who tell him that his
way is the wrong way, before it
has been tried out. That is why
he bought out his minority stock
holders for nearly a hundred mil
lion dollars in c=sh, because they
thought the right way to run his
business vas to pay all the profits
in dividends, instead of using them
to improve the plant and the pro-
duct and reduce the price to the
buyer.

HOSPITAL

HOSPITAL 49,. so different
One example of Mr.. Ford's Eau
tocracy" often cited is his manage
ment of the big hospital which he
gave to the city of Detroit. AL
though not a resident of Detroit,
Mr.. Ford was a member of the
committee which was trying to
raise funds for a new city hospital.
Money came in slowly and con-
hicting ideas about what kind of
a hospital ought to be built were
put forward. Mr.. Ford finally
said that if they would give him
full control he would put up all
the money and build the finest
hospital in the world.
He did exactly that, after en-
ploying scores of experts to study
and report upon hospital construc-
ton and management in all the
great medical centers.

BIC NONTHSE
FOR STEEL

The rigid December 81 deadline
on shipments of steel against eX-
piring contracts will carry opera
tions at steel works along through
the present week SO that the
Christmas holiday observance will
scarcely impair the weeks show
ing, the magazine, Steel, reports.
December shipments, it is pre-
dicted, will be the highest in
many years.
Steel works operations rose five
points last week, to 38 per cent
of capacity in an upward move
ment, contrary to the season
trend. Looking for the strength
in the steel operating rate to con-
tinue through the years end, the
publication states:
"SOme producers will open
January with all untitled ton
mage automatically Cancelled
and with few first quarter COM
mitments, and for them wide
spread shutdOwns may result in
the early part of the month.
Others, especially those manu-
featuring products on which
prices are not advanced Janu-
ary /, and those which depleted
their stocks recently in the rush
to complete contracts, look for
only a mild recession.
A strong situation prevails IN
the scrap market, with prices up
in all districts, it adds. More in
quiries are out from blast fur
naces for coke, and fewer cancel
lations have been made on fourth
quarter contracts for pig iron.
Steels iron and steel composite
for the week remained un-
changed at $32.42; finished steel
composite, $3.50; scrap index, up
q cents to $1O.50.

were open today for the first full
session since last Friday.
The security markets were open

Saturday, but all of the COM
modify markets were closed. For
the rest of this week Wall Street
expects that the markets will be
active. Many transactions, par
ticularly of the tax-selling variety,
are awaiting completion this year.
Within a day or two selling to
establish losses for tax purposes
will be carried out on a cash
basis, so that the transactions
may be completed before January
/. This has become a familiar
year-end phenomenon.

U.S.COT7ON USE
RECORD SET

The world used more Ameri-
can cotton during November than
in any corresponding month since
1928, according to the New York
Cotton Exchange Service.
During November. world cotton
mills spun 100000 bales of the
American stape as compared with
1,215,000 in October, 100000 in
Noven- Der last year, and 100000
in November two years ago. In
November, 1923, the world used
1,345, 900 bales.
The decline in world consump-
tion of American cotton from
October to November this year
was less than seasonal, as meas
ured by the average change in
tie past eight years; the decline
this year was OF per cent as
against an eight-year average de-
creaSe of 81 per cent.
During the first four months
of the current cotton season, that
is, from August to November
80, world consumption OF the
American staple was the largest
for any corresponding period
since the 1928-29 season.
Consumption totaled 4,S79, 900
