LAWS SEEN AID
TO BEGINNER
IN BUSINESS

Federal legislation IS encourag-
ing the establishment of new small
enterprises, Charles w. Cuno, Of
st. Louis, says in a symposium on
Planning for 1887" appearing in
Industrial and Engineering Chem
istry, a publication Of the
American Chemical Society. Exist
ing industries, on the other hand,
are heSitant in embarking on
plant-expansion rograms, he
points out. Mr.. Cuno writes:
Market surveys are becOn-
ing increasingly important for
every industry. New factors
that may affect distribution and
sales are chiefly those related
to the recent activities of both
Federal and State governments.
"TheSe include (D the changes
in marketing conditions due to
the RObinSon-Patman act and
~ the changes nj favorable
marketing territories due to
changes in freight rail policies,
the remarkable increase in ton
miles of automobile trucking,
and the entrance of air service
into express and even freight
traffic.
ROBINSON-PATMAN ACT
"The effect of the Robinson
Patman act on industry is still
a matter fO conjecture, and
whether it will have any effect
on the economies of plant loca-
tiOn is not easy to predict. It
is natural to suppose that prices
will be revised upward to that
accorded the small consumer.
Whether this will lead the large
consumer to erect a plant and to-
go into manufacture himself is
doubtful.
"Tt follows, therefore, that
each factor in plant location
must be carefully examined, not
only in the usual way, but also
in the light of actual or immi-
nent legislation and with due
regard to actual and probable
governmental activities"
The article adds that the effect
of such legislation and activities
on existing industries is to create
a real hesitancy in expansion pro-
grams and in the establishment
of new plants. Their effect on
new enterprises is, however, oppo-
site. A large number of new enter.
priSes are now canvasSing the field
and examining favored locations,
Mr.. Cuno observes.
Taxes Important
Actual and threatened increases
in taxation have definite deter.
ring influences on expansion and
relocation. according to the study,
which points out that factors Of
little or no Importance in plan.
ming for 1886 must no wreceive
the special consideration Of ex.
ecutives for 1887.
"The proposed taxation Of ex.
cess corporation surpluses may
in some instances stop, or at
least slow down, any plans for
expansion but may, on the
other hand, lead to wild and
haphazard programs of i'm
prOvement and construction In
order to spend such monies be-
fore they become SurpluSes."

have an eight-game hitting
streak. Not bad at all. And
when Lewis learns how to watch
the ball on defense and disre-
gard runners, he will be all
right. That's his weakness right
now.
Compares With Best
Against your will you find
yourself comparing Lewis with
the great young infielders who
have come up in the past 20
years. And half reluctantly you
find yourself placing him in ex-
alted company.
Traynor was a great third base
man who was good at the start
both extensively and defenSively.
Willie Kamm was a fine fielder
but not a great hitter. Joey
Sewell, the hardest man to strike
out in the history of baseball,
lacked the power shown by
Lewis.

may be tops in spring folly.
Maybe the smart pitchers of the
majors will find a way to stop
his hitting spree. Veterans Of
baseball will tell you that even
Cobb could be stopped, but Lewis
is the kind of a youngster on
whom you can fall overheard and
find yourself rejoicing in the reck-
less immersion.
Hes the Joe Louis Of young.
Sters," said Bucky Harris this
morning. "COld as ice, dead
panned in the pinches, never
ruffIed by the changes of the
game. OF course, he can't 60
on the way he's going, but,
great Caesars ghost, look at
what the kid has done.
II have never seen q boy
he's not 20 yet-dO the things
that Lewis is doing every day.
Actually, I've come to count
that day lost which fails to
find me amazed at something
he's shown me-"
And now let's look at the
record. Let's see just what this
kid has accomplished down here
in the Grapefruit loop that makes
him stand out.
Hits 400
Since the exhibition games
started Lewis Is hitting 400. He
has been at bat IS times, made
% hits good for 43 bases. And
now let's get down to last week,
in which pitchers have improved
in form and ability.
In the last eight games Lewis
has hit .432. He was at bat 81
times and made 16 hits, good for
80 bases. He has averaged almost
a base hit per time at bat, which
is nothing if not remarkable. He
has made six triples and a home
run along with a brace of doubles.
"He can be pitched to-" said
Rogers HOrnsby this morning
before the Browns drove off to
Lake Wales on an exhibition
tour. "He has hit a lot Of fast
ball pitching. Let's see the
curves"
So your prying agent sought out
Rollie Hemsley. who is nothing if
not a great catcher, and a smart
'un at that.
"What did you pitch to
Lewis?" we asked.
Everything we had, high and
outside, low an6 inside, high
and inside" responded Hemsley.
"He hit them ALL"
Now understand and keep in
mind always that this kid is 20
years old. He hasn't matured yet.
He is going to make mistakes in
major league competition. He
will feel the weight of situations
he never faced before. But he is
a boy to watch develop.

just what Lewis has done in his
