Educators List
Shortcomings of
Americans

ENVER, Colo. 1N.S0.-
Practically everything is wrong
with the American citizen, it was
decided here recently by delegates
to the Mountain-Plains Adult Edu-
cation Association, converting in
Denver.
People don't know how to vote
intelligently, they said. They
aren't informed on both sides of
public questions.
Mothers don't know how to take
care of their children.
Aliens quit learning after they
have gotten their papers.
The average person is interested
in only how to make money.
But most of all. the delegates
decided. after meeting in several
small discussion groups, the adult
education association is not full
filling it's worth. 1t is falling
down on the job. There are many
things wrong with education to-
day and something ought to be
done about it, they said.

Blind WPA Workers
Devise Talking Books

NEW YORK, G.N.SJ.-All the
intricate electrical reading ma
Chimes" now being assembled at
the Library of Congress grama.
phone factory in New York, are
being made by blind WPA workers.
Despite their lack of sight, they
assemble the complicated ma
chimes without assistance.
The electric "r e ding ma
chimes" make literature available
to thousands of blind persons who
are unfamiliar with braille.
Since the project was launched
in January of 1886, over 10000
of these portable gramaphones
have been manufactured.
When originally started, no
blind persons were used on the as
sembly lines, but we're merely
called in to assist in the tests.
So successful was the assistance
rendered. that they gradually took
over more and more work. and in
many cases have proved more
deft than the sighted workers they
replaced.

Buoyed by Liverpool cables rang
ing to IL points higher than due,
cotton futures advanced IS cents
bale this morning.
Realizing on the advance held
the market at this point, and in
rather quiet trading a moderate
demand for contracts absorbed
offerings easily.
Buyers included Liverpool, Com
mission Houses, and locals. Con-
tracts were placed on the market
by the South, New Orleans, and
the Far East.
Activity was restricted by the
general uncertainty prevailing in
the market. Rumors about can

anced other rumors to the effect
that proposed farm price legisla-
ton might be passed at this ses-
sion of Congress, and, the recur-
rent rumors of a change in the
gold-buying price cropped up.
With few indications of a long
range trend to go by, traders were
combining their operations to buy

small margins. The spot market
was quiet, with no sales.

Insurance Firm S
Boost Profits
In Stocks

Fire insurance companies have
capitalized upon the sub-norma
levels of fire leases in recent
years by investing profits at ad
Vantageous security prices. &C
cording to new analysis in
Poor's Stock Reports.
Premium rates have been re
duced, while underwriting ex.
penses have increased. As a re
suit, lower underwriting profits
are anticipated, despite probable
increase in premium volume at
tending the general business i'm
provement. The analysis adds:
Portfolio appreciation, how
ever. is highly important fac
tor in the case of fire insurance
companies, who necessarily con-
duct investment trust opera
tlOnS on a large scale. --Irtiler
attraction, during the course of
a rising market trend, is Sc
cured through leverage attained
by investment of unearned pre-
MUM reserve funds. Whereas
the average portfolio empha-
sizes common stock holdings,
resulting in large book losses dur
ing the depression, recovery and
rising equity values have
brought assets of many insur-
ance companies to new peaks.
This appreciation factor should
remain favorable as long as the
major trend of business con-
tinueS upward. The tax on I'M
distributed profits has forced
distribution of an increasing
portion of corporate earnings,
resulting in an improved re-
turn on insurance company
stock investments"

as the major mechanical innova
ton in 1885 new cars, trade
sources report. More nodded plas

Retailers Exempt
Whatever minimum wages and
maximum hours Congress may fix
under the new Black-Connery bill
retailers will not be directly af
fected. So believes Co-sponsor Con,
merry, chairman of the House
Labor Committee. In his opinion,
the five-man board won't be able
to compel merchants to restrict
working hours or pay a minimum
wage.
Constitutional lawyers are not
so certain. It depends, say they,
on whether a labor dispute in a
department store, for instance,
would check the "free flow" of
goods across State lines. And that,
they insist, remains a no-man's-
land for the courts to bound.
But retailers will feel wage-and-
hour legislation in making their
purchases. Garment workers are
expected to come within terms
of the bill in light of recent Wag-
ner act decisions. Since their
products go across State lines, a
labor dispute in the cutting up
trades" would affect commerce.
That is the peg around which
this White House approved bill is
hung.
