BARGAINS ... in: property
- People with ready cash-and
there are still a lot of rhem-are
hunting bargains these days. And
Ia good many of them, to my Know
ledge, are putting their money into
land and buildings, confident that
the rise from the present low prices
will not be long delayed.
One 3oo-acre dairy farm, we'll
stocked with ample buildings in
good repair, which its owner held
lat $4,000 only five years Ago, was
sold the other day in my neighbor-
hood for $500. The buyer. layed
down ready cash. I know Of five
other farm properties that have
changed hands for cash near my
home in the past month, It figures
from,half to a third>what theywere
held at lately; and: one great estate
a few miles from me;in which more
than a quarter of a million had been
invested, went for. $25, 900. because
the owners had to have cash.
Money will buy better bargains
today than at any time in the past
twenty years.

One of my neighbors recently
came into a good many thousands
in cash, the proceeds of his fathers

business freiends, including two
bankers, to suggest sound, safe in

Every one he asked threw up his
hands. My friend had no use for
another home or any more land, and
he did not want to take a speeula-

A YEAR OF THE
CODE II

As one after another of the prin-
cipal industries of the country
complete a full year of operation
under codes of fair competition,
sufficient experience has been gained
to form the basis for impartial
judgment. 80 ..: =; -.
A year is a long enough time for.
both merits and deficiencies In codes
to come to the surface. A IT,
month period, reekoned backward,
turns the minds of American bust,
ness men in retrospect to those
chaotic conditions out Of which
the NRA was born. These eronsiid-
-erations must be kept IL, mind in

first year under the codes.
In specific terms this is all
graphically ser forth p The sfaFFy,
of the bituminous coal code,- which
has just attained its first birthday
it was approved by President
Roosevelt on September IS, 1875.
Few industries were in greater chaos
a year ago than bitumirous' coal
mining. In fact, increasing chaos
has been a problem for more than
a decade. ~ !.
After the war few mines were
closed; competition became more
intense until coal which had cost
a dollar a ton to get to. the mine
mouth sold for as little ass cents
a ton. Confusion became worse
COMPOUNDED when not fewer than
70 codes were submitted 10 iNRA.
The problem was to, get one code.
, Everybody predicted that it simply
couldn't be done. Heteewas one
industry so complex that it was not
amendable to codifcation. ,
Nevertheless all these conflicting
elements were brought into unity;
nearly 80 codes were melted down
into one code and prosperity has
been restored to a great basic indus
try. " s@rs'
Bituminous coal production,
which has sunk to a new low level
in the summer Of 1888 came up so
percent in the year just ended. Fair
minimum market prices have been
established, permitting living
wage to the miner and a reasonable
profit to the producer. An entire
ly new system of adjusting labor
controversies within the industry
itself has been inaugurared and is
in successful operation.
Perhaps the best summation of
results achieved under the coal
code was made by ]. D. 4. Nor
row, president of the Pittsburgh
Coal Co., who declared it to be
"the practical answer for those who
have money invested in the business
and for those who are employed in
the industry" ~<.lgn :si.

Comedian Gable.

CLARK GABLE, comedian! More
~ and more with the passing months
does this description apply to the
time hard-boiled screen lover.
Gable. who came into popularity with
the era of love-'em-and-slap- EN-
down, has of late begun the new
school of love- EN- -and-laugh-at-'em.
This latter phase began with the
smash hit, 1T Happened One Night.
in which for the first time on the
screen the male broke the strings of
archaic decorum to laugh-yes. actu-
ally laugh "a the poor maiden's
plight.
It was continued in Manhattan
Melodrama." in which Gable, after a
swashbuckling career in the under
world, grinned in the death cell and
instructed his blonde siren to "use
this money for something classy in
the way of black negligee."
In Chained" his laugh sounded
from the time he met Joan Crawford
on a liner putting out to sea from
New York until they headed into the
port of Buenos Aires.
And in "Forsaking All Others" the
new all-star picture at Metro Gold
wyn-Mayer. he laughs all the harder
In fact, he and Charles Butterworth
are virtually comedy team in them
selves.
Based on the stage comedy hit Of
the same name, Gable is given excel
lent comedy dialogue which, his
friends say, he prefers to the heavy
dramatics of sober-faced roles.
