KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

WE have been watching so long for that
w famous corner" which must be turned
before we pass from depression to prosperity,
that our eyes may be getting little CLASSY.
1t is entirely possible that we may get way
past it before we even see it.
All of which is just another way of saying
that a business revival could easily steal upon
us unawares. 1t can not come overnight:
there will be no abrupt transition from depres-
sion to boom. Instead, the pickup must be-
gin little bit here and little bit there.
Then. one day, we might look around and
make the pleasing discovery that things were
a lot better than we had thought.
Bearing all that in mind, it is worth glanc
ing at a Size-up of the situation just made by
the National Industrial Conference Board.
This presents a picture which, while some
what spotty. is preponderantly bright.
The auto industry, for instance, continues
to expand. Auto production for the first
quarter of 1885 reached higher level than
any in the last eight years with the excep-
ton of 1929.
Steel production, on the other hand, slipped
nearly per cent from February to March,
although it remained 6.5 per cent above the
1884 level. Booking of fabricated structural
steel, meanwhile, rose "a per cent from Febru
airy to March, and machine tool orders jumped
sharply, giving the first quarter an average
Is per cent above that for 1884.
Another encouraging factor is to be found
in the fact that building and engineering
contract awards rose in March by more than
the usual seasonal amount. Residential con-
tracts in particular. made gratifying gain.
Electric power production in March de-
clined slightly from February, but the decline
was somewhat less than seasonal and the
March output remained per cent above that
for March, 1884 Bituminous coal production
was up in March-possibly because of fear CT
a strickland department store sales rose.
On the other hand. textile production in
March fell of by more than the usual seasonal
amount, security prices sagged, and wholesale
commodity prices dropped slightly-although
these latter remained TO per cent above the
level recorded a year ago.
1t is hard to add all this together and get
anything very definite. In the main, how

THIS IS NOT SHOCKING

4 FTER reporting a gain of 12.4 per cent in
advertising for 1884 as against loss OF
"a per cent for 1885, the Bureau of Advertising
division of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association ends its annual session
with a big dinner at which its chief speaker,
cambridge Colby, riddles the New New Deal.
This is not surprising. Instead it is typical
of that school of business thought which, emu
lating the more famous of the Two Black
Crows" declares that Even if it is good
don't like it."
The American reading public, however,
should remember that the Bureau of Adver-
Using in particular and the American News
paper publishers Association in general rep
resent the business and not the editorial side
of newspaper publishing. and that the business
office is never satisfied.

by the apparent paradox.

REGIMENTED EXPORTS

CCANT attention should be paid to Chester
- C. Davis naive suggestion that the gov
eminent might regiment exports. The Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administrator would, for
example, have the government say to Great
Britain: mo, we won't sell you the automo-
biles you want to buy but you can purchase
another million bales of American cotton"
This idea is on all tours with Foreign
Trade Adviser Peek's oft-repeated proposal
for direct barter and rigid trade quotas And
both ideas belong to the middle ages.
Former President Hoover whose tariff
deeds unfortunately did not reflect his I'M
Outstanding, once wisely observed that trade
is polyangular." So it is. And it also is af-
fected by competitive prices.
Our foreign trade is by no means as large
as it should be. But substantial gains have
been made in the last year under Secretary
Hulls policy of equal treatment for all COM
modities and all customer nations.
Mr.. Davis suggestion might sound good
in the cotton belt. but seem rank discrimina-
ton in Detroit.
1t was no accident that Americas more
efficient automobile industry last year in
creased its exports 100 per cent while Amer
ica's cotton exports dropped 80 per cent. Our
domestic cotton prices have been maintained
at an artifically high level. While this, on the
whole, may have benefited cotton farmers. it
inevitably cost them a portion of their for
eign market.

SOUTHPORT AND BASKETBALL

rs Southport High School moving toward
Il the sacrifice Of educational excellence at
the feet Of Indianas great god, Basketball!
Trustee Leonard A. Hohlt has informed
parents Of Southport High School pupils that
he has signed Glenn Curtis principal OF the
Martinsville High School. to be the new South
port principal, and that Janis P. Francis re-
Gently resigned coach Of the JeffersonviIle
High School basketball team, has been added
to the Southport faculty as basketball coach.
r. A. Addington, who undoubtedly is one
Of the greatest Of this states high school edu-
Gators, is to be depo2od from principal to head
of the history department under Trustee
HOhlt's unusual scheme.
And it is unusual for few sports followers
in Indiana realize that Glenn Curtis is the
extremely able principal Of Martinsville High
School They know Mr.. Curtis simply as the
famous coach Of Martinsville's great basketball
teams, which under his tutelage, have won any
number Of state championships. And although
Martinsville's notwithstanding principal is
a gentleman of exceptionally high standards
as an educator. it is a moot question as to
whether he is the peer of Principal Addington.
r. A. Addington is a modest and retiring
individual, a man who served with the United
States Artillery during the World War, was
decorated for bravery. and who. Trustee Hohlt
condescends to admit, is probably the finest
teacher of history in all Indiana.
Janis P. Francis is a young man Singularly
adept at turning out splendid basketball
teams. He left Jeffersonville after the 1888
state championship games, following charges
that his conduct during the tournament was
not all that could be desired from high
school coach. The charges. by the way, were
not worded so broadly.
Why. we wonder, is it necessary for Trus-
tee Hohlt, himself no educator, to scurry
around, employing basketball coaches by the
pair?
Educational excellence means lot more to
Southport parents than basketball champion
ships and we wonder if it is possible that
Trustee Hohlt can be casting an eye on cham
pionships as a good means of winning cleo
tions.
For too many years, in too many Indiana
schools. basketball has ranked above scholar
ship. 1t is high time we ended this nonsense.
one good way would be to keep top-notch edu-
Gators in the posts they have earned and pay
less attention to basketball and basketball
coaching.
How Indiana's No sport has dwarfed
education is well portrayed by Glenn Curtis
reign at Martinsville. Nartinsville of course,
knows his talents as an educator, but the state,
as a whole, knows him only as basketball
coach.
Which is the more important?
