pital of $24,000,OOO. and in 1885
showed an earned surplus of SILL
100000, in addition to regular

ployes of the two Philadelphia
plants earn as low as $18 a week

cause Of lead hazards. Wages run

WHOLESALE INDEX
REGISTERS SLUMP
Fertilizer Association Reveals
Average at us, Against
1872 Week Ago.

The weekly wholesale commodity
price index compiled by the National
Fertilizer Association, declined in the
week ended January 18 to IT'S per
cent of the 1926-1928 average from
1872 in the week preceding, with the
decline largely due to lower quotations
for foods, farm products and cotton
textile goods.
The second week of declining prices
followed the A. A. A. decision carried
the price index to the level reached
in the middle of December and with
the net decline in the first two weeks
of the current year amounting to l3
per cent. A month ago the index
stood at IT'S and year ago at 752.
Foodstuff prices were again gener-
ally lower during the week. with the
coumodities declining including such
important items as butter, eggs, or
anges and potatoes, as we'll as meats
and certain other commodities which
have been affected by processing
taxes.
The index for the foods group in the
latest week fell to the lowest level
reached since mid-July. Although
several commodities included in the
farm products group advanced dur.
ing the week, the general trend was
downward and the group index
reached the lowest point of the past
six months.
A rather sharp drop in the textiles
index was largely due to a continued
downturn IN cotton goods quotations.

BONUS EXPECTED
TO BOOST TRADE
Retail Business and Auto
Sales to Jump Sharply,
Observers Believe.
BY THOMAS E. FLANAGAN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. January 21.-Rapid
progress Of the bonus through both
branches Of Congress has brought
Wall Street prophecies Of a boomlet
in retail trade and automobile sales.
This stimulus, observers say. would
come about through possible spending
by veterans, which Is expected to
amount to at least $1,000, 100000.
While this is the going estimate Of
the extent to which the veterans would
cash their baby bonds, analysts think
1t possible that the total cashed might
considerably exceed this figure, espe-
cially should general business i'm
provement keep confidence at high
pitch.
Analysing the possible channels into
which bonus funds might flow, Stand
ard Statistics, Inc, bases its opinion
on the behavior Of bonus money in
1891.
It was noted that IN 1881 sub
stantial part OF the bonus went into
the payment of old bills and for neces-
sites.
Since then, however. trade and in
dustrial recovery has in many in
stances resulted in renewed confidence
Old bills have been paid of and many
necessity" wants have been fulfilled.
In the light of these considerations.
financial circles believe that much
more of the bonus funds would be
free this time to find its way into
new and secondhand automobiles and
consumers goods outside of the neces-
sity classification.
Again using 1881 as a yardstick.
financial observers are of the opinion
that the stimulus of bonus on busi-
ness would probably last about two
months.

more than Is years. as a member of

constructive legislation designed to
help the farmer help himself. I had
q part in drafting the grain futures
act. I drew the first bill extending
Federal aid to farm co-operatives
For fully q decade before the Roose-
velt administration came into ONCE, I
advocated the establishment Of .
price system for agriculture which
would diherentiate between what the
farmer received for that part Of his
crop sold in the domestic market and
that part which was sold abroad. Fur
when . sulplus exists, depressing farm
prices, it Is obvious, Of course, that
no tariff will provide him with the
slightest degree Of protection. In any
solution looking toward . return to
permanent farm prosperity, such
steps are fundamental.
Again, last November, In q speech
before a farm forum conference at
Cornell College. Mount Vernon, Iowa,
I outlined certain basic principles
which in my judgment, must be part
of any sound program for the future.
Let me repeat tonight those basic
provisions: First, present CONTRA
dictions In Government policy must
be eliminated. These seek. on the
one hand, to limit crop production.

ture. Such subsidized competition.

From Dempsey to Farley

a fIER JACK Dempsey came along to be heavv-
weight champion of the world Mr. LYONS be-
came MS guest on many occasions over the period
OF his reign and after Dempsey lost the title the
Senator attached himself to Mr.. Farley, who was
tnen just beginning to organize Frank Roosevelt
Always during my acquaintance with the Senator
ne mas mad steady employment either in the two
panCS suit with belted back line or as executive
assistant TO the Postmaster General. Yet if Won
were to ask me what he does / would nstinctively
reply, DO? Why he is guest" Because notwith-
Standlng his achievements in other lines notwith-
standing his craftsmanship in the Colorado Legisa-
ture his visit to the Taxas Rangers his services as
honorary timekeeper at some of the big Dempsey
nghtS still would have to think of him in terms of
his craftsmanship gueSthood.
1t seems almost if there is some law in this
country or a great national conspiracy to prevent
the old Senator from getting off his hands not that
IL mas been any great struggle to prevent him from
doing so. The Senator just seems to accept the
situation gracefully and submits peacefully to
fate which denies him the privilege of lifting the
tab for the party. There have been some great
numbers along Broadway who could break an arm
churnlng their pants pockets while the waiter went
to sleep on his feet but the old Senator is not one
OF those. If a man is guest it is bad manners of
him to give the bill much as distant glance,
5 and even worse form to tumble. In this respect
the Senator can look the whole world in the face
and defy any man to name the time when he was
not perfect gentleman.
The Senator's craftsmanship extends to other
phases OF his existence He has probably the great
est American collection of passes for things
including gold engraved passes and heavily embossed
cards of admission and of course his warrant of ap-
polntment as special assistant to the Postmaster
General in itself is pass. 1t has given him the
status OF guest of the American nation for almost
1our years now and its renewal will extend the in
vitation for four years more

A Model of Behavior

CENATOR LYONS wears toupee with a white
~ blaze down the middle which sometimes gets
turned somewhat slaunchwise in the heat of a
social evening and he generally carries a walking
stick, suitable for beating up whole gangs of des-
peradoes on dark streets at night He is man of
elaborate courtesy to ladies and model of be-
havior as becomes guest.
In Washington, having no nhibitions, he is a
very helpful man to his friends. Mr.. Farley has
limits beyond which he will not CO. but Senator
Lyons stands in of no man or Office. I dare
say that if were to call him up in the middle of
the night to get out of Jail he would Immediately
telephone Chief Justice Hughes and yell, "Hey,
Charlie, Peg is in the for some trouble with
cop; we have got to get him OUT
That reminds that the Senator never has
been my guest must invite him to dinner, al
though I probably will have to wait my turn for
most likely he is booked up years in advance.

= DIR. CATHARINE cox MILES,
- Yale psychologist, in an ex-
haustive tabulation and interpreta-
ton of the numerous tests and
studies of tthe differences of the
sexes, entitled Sex in Social Psy-
chology," concludes that tests, to
date, show girls are on the average
consistently superior to boys in
memory. One of the best studies
is still that made in 1918 by l.. w.
PreSsly, psychologist, on 2544 school
children between the ages of to is.

be done. But unemployment must
be taken care of, and the extent
to which expenditures can be re-
duced is wholly problematical. It
is rather difficult to determine.
However, have no doubt that
great waste and unnecessary ex-
penditures exist.
- SHOULD relief be by direct
~ cash payments or as wages?
Should relief be paid for and ad-
ministered by the Federal govern
ment or by the states, or both?
Relief must be adjusted &C
ing to the conditions prevailing in
different communities. I favor it
being done by the Federal govern
ment, although I think that the
individual states should have
much more to do with the admin
istration of relief than at the
present time.
Il II
= HOW should the problem of
- permanent unemployment and
care of the aged and unemployed
be handled?
I am in favor of old-age pen
sions. The amount is the only
question in debate. I do not con-
cede that there should be any
permanent unemployment if we
had an economic situation with
out monopolistic control. There is
no more necessity to have perma-
nent unemployment than to have
contagious diseases. Proper treat
ment will get rid of both.
n Do you favor further devalua-
L ton at present gold content?
Do you believe in any form of
currency change, currency infla-
ton or credit imitation, a return to
the gold standard, the remoneti-
zation of silver or managed cur
rency.
The money question is so in
volved that it would require a
most extensive discussion. I am
against both imitation and defa-
ton. I am in favor of the govern
ment itself coming money and
